Harlequin/Jester
Motley Fool Costume Pattern
Now Available! Because of the high interest in this costume, and the unavailability of a similar commercial pattern, I decided to make my own for sale. The pattern is for a spandex harlequin-style "jester" costume.

- This pattern is designed for use with 4-way-stretch fabric, i.e. lycra spandex or stretch velvet. It assumes the fabric will stretch to at least 1.75 times its original width. This pattern may not work with vinyl, latex, or non-stretchy fabrics unless you are a very experienced sewer and know how to re-draft for fit.
- This is a single-sized pattern. It is made to fit an individual around 5�5, 130 pounds, size six, 35-27-37. The spandex is forgiving, but if you�re more than a few pounds/inches off in either direction, (especially in height) plan to do some alterations. Instructions are included.
- Beginners be warned! The instructions assume the seamstress/tailor has a basic knowledge of how to lay out and cut patterns, pin pieces together, stitch, hem, adjust fit, etc. Click here for a PDF sample of what the instructions look like.
- Sewing success depends greatly upon individual skill, and no pattern in the world is going to fit every body. I make no warranties as to the fit or quality of any garments constructed from this pattern or these instructions.
- This pattern is my original design, copyrighted to me. It is not endorsed by Paul Dini, creator of Harley Quinn, or authorized by DC comics. Pattern may be used for generic harlequin characters, "jester" characters, or anyone else who needs a bodysuit with a hood. It may NOT be used to produce costumes modeled after copyrighted comic book characters to be distributed for sale. This pattern is intended only for private individual use.
