Pantomime time - oh yes it's coming!

I am making toiles of pantomime costumes for musketeers, using two patterns, for children, and adults.  There are 5 different sizes of musketeers, from 8 ys old through to adult, so I am tracing and adapting the patterns as needed.

The shoulder epaulettes were very soft and floppy, therefore I have tested reinforcing the right one with pelmet vilene.

I need to incorporate the musketeer symbol onto the costumes, probably with appliqué, but for these toiles, I am stencilling using freezer paper stencils and  fabric paint.
