Using your measurements, draw the basic shapes for the armor, tunic, and boots on pattern paper. Make sure to include seam allowances and notches for ease of construction. Here is a brief overview of the patterns you will need:
- Armor: Draw a rectangle for the chest piece and a circle for the helmet
- Tunic: Draw a rectangle for the main body and a separate pattern for the sleeves
- Boots: Draw a pattern for the boot upper and a separate pattern for the sole
Once you have your patterns, cut out the fabric pieces according to the measurements and patterns. Follow the instructions below to assemble the costume:
- Armor: Sew the chest piece together, then attach the helmet using a facing technique. Add silver and gold fabric details to the armor as desired.
- Tunic: Sew the main body and sleeves together, then add the red, yellow, blue, brown, and orange fabric strips to create the unique design of Hiccup’s tunic. Attach the elastic to the bottom of the tunic for a comfortable fit.
- Boots: Sew the boot upper and sole together, then add the leather soles and elastic laces for a secure fit.
