Pokemon Go Trainer – accessories

I finished my Pokemon Go Trainer costume for Halloween! Since last time, I needed to work on the hat, belt, and gloves, so I’ll go over those now.

Fortunately, the hat was very easy! I bought a plain black cap off of Amazon, and then I mocked the design in Photoshop. I printed it out and used it like a stencil by marking with a white fabric pencil.

I used yellow fabric paint, and I painted a few layers, letting it dry between layers.

Pokemon Go Trainer – romper

Now the romper is done! I meant to finish it earlier, but I spent a couple days going out and playing Pokemon Go instead XD;;

Like the jacket, this also uses the pattern from McCall’s M7556. I used Activewear spandex for the dark blue part (it looks black, but it’s really “midnight blue”), and French Terry Knit for the middle blue part.

I started by doing the back part of the romper according to the pattern instructions. I did the front part in a different order though. Instead of sewing the sides to the middle, I did the middle parts only first.

Pokemon Go Trainer – jacket

I’ve finished the jacket for my Pokemon Go Trainer cosplay!

Like I mentioned before, I’m using McCall’s M7556, which is specifically for the Pokemon Go Trainer. I like that there are cosplay patterns now because I barely had to make any modifications! I also picked up M7397 to use on the gloves later.
