Rubie's Official Disney Frozen 2, Kristoff Deluxe Mens Costume

Product Information

I finished pinning the fur around the armhole, with a bit of overlap at the underarm seam. Then, using the skinny edge of my presser foot as a guide, I stitched the fur down 1/8 inch from the top edge of the fur trim.

I started pinning the bias tape to the armhole of the sweater, wrong sides together, starting just in front of the underarm seam. A word of caution: don’t cut your bias tape from the roll until after sewing it down on at least one side…especially if you’re working with knit material. The knit material may stretch a bit, and you don’t want to run out of bias tape length to finish sewing around your opening! Are you one of the select few that think reindeer smell better than people? If you said yes, then you have either been hanging out with some smelly people, or you found some incredible smelling reindeer. Or, we suppose you could also have the nose of a natural mountain man, in which case, you'll fit perfectly into this Plus Size Kristoff Deluxe Costume, from Disney's Frozen!Next, I began to pin the trim to the hem of the vest, starting at the peak of the pointed shape and curving down to the hem. The red stripe at the hem provided a handy guide. I simply matched the top of the trim to the top of the red stripe. Yes, we are going to be legit mountain folk, like Kristoff, once this project is done! We are going to use a knife, my friends. First, I measured the armhole opening to determine how much fur I would need to go around it. The opening measured at 14 inches (measured flat, then double that measurement). So, I decided to cut 16 inches to give me seam allowance and a bit of wiggle room. Time to grab a utility knife! Play out favourite Frozen and Frozen 2 moments with Anna and Elsa dolls, or sing along to hit songs like ‘Let It Go’ with Elsa.

I used a zigzag stitch and made my first pass at stitching the bias tape around the armhole. At this point, I felt safe cutting the bias tape to length with a bit extra. I trimmed the corners off the ends and folded the excess over. Then, I folded the bias tape over to finish encasing the armhole opening.You can see how my new sleeve cuts make the edges of the armholes in a straight line continuing from the body of the sweater. Now it was time to finish the raw edges of these new, shortened sleeves. Here are our finished fur strips for Kristoff’s sleeves; both the top view and the reverse view. By scoring with the knife, we also left the gorgeous pile of the fur intact, which will give a lovely, natural edge to the fur trim, rather than a blunt, cut edge. As with the sleeves, I stitched the fur trim 1/8 inch down from the top edge, using my presser foot as a guide. Easy peasy!
