This project required a visit to Dunelm (which now boasts a coffee shop!) for the cheapest single white bed sheet they sold and 2 meters of 99p/meter curtain tie-back cord in a fetching shade of gold. I also dug out a remnant of the sheet I used to back Grandma's Quilt from the scrap bag for a splash of colour!
Supplies at the ready!
For the average 10 year old boy you need a third of a single bed sheet for the toga. Fold the sheet in half along the longest length (the fold will go over the shoulders and down the arms) and cut off a third of the sheet.
Fold this piece in half again along the longest side and chop out a rectangle to shape the arms and body then sew the edges you have just sut out to make the side and underarm seams and hem the sleeves as required.
Draw and cut out a triangle for the neck opening about 10 inches across. Zig-zag over the edges to stop from fraying.
That's the basic toga tunic finished!
Measure your child from shoulder to hip and sew a band of fabric twice this length into a sash to add some colour.
Add the tie-back cord as a belt and it's done!
