For the circumference of the bottom gathers, Measure the circumference of your elbow when you fully bend it and add 2 cm to that. My elbow is 27cm so the bottom gather is 29cm. Once you've got the correct measurement after gathering, make a knot with the two ends of the string to secure your gathers. Once this is done and you have both sleeves pieces with the 8 strips attached you can go ahead and sew these sleeves closed Cut a flat piece of fabric to the same length from the collar seam down to the bottom of the skirt (55cm long by 9cm wide, don't forget to add extra for seam allowance) Start placing masking tape on the cling wrap to extract the 3d form of your foot and shin. (Don’t wrap the masking tape super tight, or you will have trouble freeing yourself from it)

Then we're going to carefully trim the excess with the xacto knife being cautious to not cut the shoe but just above the sole. I drew my collar measurements on a piece of newspaper to test and pin it on my shirt, I highly recommend this method. For attaching the strips on, we are going to need a 25cm long rectangular piece by 29cm width, this will be our sleeve. Once your pompoms are nicely glued you can start trimming off the excess to make them less fluffy and more like the referencePants cuffs are 36cm circumference and 12cm high, inner pants cuffs are 36cm circumference and 15cm high Buy more than 3 meters of each rope !! I had barely enough for all the ropes on the shirt plus the belt.

For the elastic band part of the puff sleeve we're going to make this one adjustable so we can make it tighter if we want to, like so: https://youtu.be/S9G-3i_8BuU (I made mine 43 cm long)

Cut the rectangle into 7 slices of 4 cm strips carefully, leaving the very top uncut, so as not to detach our slices. And spread them to have 4cm in between each. Measure a strip of our fabric that is 80cm long (like our sleeves) by 3.7cm high. Fold and iron 1.5cm inside on both top and bottom leaving a 7mm Gap which will hold the elastic later. Width-wise, On a new piece of paper, trace this reference shape as the front, then we flip the pattern and trace it again 60cm away. I chose an extra 60 cm so my new bloomer would be 3 time baggier than the original shorts/pants, making it 121cm

You should ideally pattern the panels on a cardboard that way it will be more durable and solid when you use it to draw out your pieces, there are so many! The ropes I bought are of 2mm diameter, I got them from etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/728725039/2mm-satin-c... Height-wise, Measure from under your ribcage down to your knees to get the length, 60cm for me. Add 3cm extra up and down to have room for the elastic bands.Start of by ironing and sewing the edge that will show on all 8 of our strips (16 strips in total, 8 for each arm) so it looks nice and neat Since I only had red yarn when I made these pompoms, I decided to add some colour variantion by gently brushing beige colour acrylic paint and some dark brown as well, this way giving them more depth. The height of this strip should be 5 cm so that our collar will measure 3cm in the end. The extra cm is again for seam allowance. For the inner cuffs (with the pleated fabric), if like me you don’t have ruffle fabric just iron the inner cuff once you've sew it to the sleeve so it has folds and wrinkles, I couldn't find any, I find twisting and ironing the normal fabric works just as nicely to create pleats (Plissé). Optionally with the same pattern you can cut and add a piece of fabric on the inside to make lining for the upper chest part making it more solid and clean, hiding all the seam lines of the panels

The shoes of pennywise looks like custom-made old-school boxer shoes. Its very fun and easy to modify old shoes with some craft leather, vinyl, here’s how: Before we get started twisting, we have to burn the ends to join the three ropes together so they don't come undone. WARNING: use tweezers to press them together, as the burnt nylon is extremely hot!! The outer cuffs should be 12cm high and 28cm wide and the inner cuff with the pleated fabric, should be 15cm high and 28cm wide.To close the ribbons into bracelets, you will need to glue the two ends with the glue gun (I can't think of a more sturdy method) WARNING: again use tweezers to press them together please Just measure the circumference of your abdomen and make the fabric long enough to include press on buttons as well later. Leaving the last big pyramid to come out more than our strip of fabric, and fold the two side pyramids to have a flat bottom, this way we have that nice pointy tail at the end.
