Challenge: Create an outfit for the Broadway musical "Godspell."
I did a little research of my own to get inspiration. The main character from this 1973 Godspell film adaptation is Jesus. When I saw the outfit for this character, I was confused...but instantly inspired. It's basically Jesus, Superman and a clown all in one!
Does this image make you scratch your head too??
There are some different versions of the Godspell Jesus costume, but I believe this is the original. Sebastian and I did our best to make our own version of it.
Clearly, the pants steal the show. Too bad I didn't have any fabric with such colorful stripes!
But I must say...I had the most fun making the red suspenders. They were pretty easy, considering I only used ribbon and a piece of leather. All dogs need a pair!
You can have a pair of suspenders ready in 5 minutes with just a little glue and a sewing machine!!
And did I mention these are crazy cute worn like this too??
For the shirt, I made the Superman "S" by cutting out the shapes in the fabric and topstitching the pieces on. I had to pay extra attention to the Godspell "S" as it's different from the original Superman "S."
The outfit looks more human-like than dog-like. But if you ask me, the cutest dog clothes are the ones that look the most human.
Walking around the house getting used to his very first pair of pants.
XOXOXOXO,
Erika and Sebastian
