Tutorial: Dark Phoenix costume

Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings shows how she created a Dark Phoenix costume for her niece. The costume is based off of a basic t-shirt and leggings pattern. If you can sew a t-shirt and leggings, you can make this costume. And bonus – it’s just as comfortable as wearing a t-shirt and leggings, which is a good thing for active kids. She is sharing the tutorial as part of DC vs Marvel theme for Sew Geeky (co-hosted by Sew Chibi and Max California). Follow the link below to go to her tutorial:
