It's open on the sides, so plan to wear a layer underneath it. What You'll Need Materials Red jersey fabric, 60-inch width, 2 yards Scissors Basic sewing supplies Tailor's chalk Red Riding Hood costume templates Wide red satin ribbon, 3 to 4 yards Iron-on fabric interfacing and iron (optional) Newspaper Red pumps Craft glue Spoon Red glitter Instructions For the dress, cut 15 inches of fabric off one end of jersey; reserve for hood. Cut remaining fabric in half lengthwise; stitch two 30-inch ends together. Fold the resulting long rectangle in half widthwise, then lengthwise; use chalk and dress template to mark neck hole, as shown; cut along lines. Cut satin ribbon to wrap around waist. For the hood, trace templates onto reserved red fabric, and cut out 2 hood pieces. Sew pieces together, creating a hood with a center seam. To make a more structured hood (optional), add a strip of 6-inch-wide iron-on fabric interfacing along the front edge, and fold fabric over; iron to set. Fold hood edge at gather points (indicated on template), and stitch to secure. Finish by adhering 36-to-48-inch length of ribbon along the bottom edge of hood using craft glue, leaving long ends. For the shoes, cover your work surface with newspaper. Paint pumps with craft glue, covering completely. Spoon glitter over glue, picking up paper and using it to return excess glitter to bowl as you go. Let dry before wearing.
