This project has been a long time in the making!
I'm not a huge artsy sewing person so I wanted to figure out the easiest way to create a Harry Potter Gryffindor Quidditch Uniform for under £100 ($155)
Being quite small in stature I figured the many kids harry potter costumes out there would fit me but I doubted they had the quality I was looking for.
So trawling through ebay to find red and yellow garments I found that hardly any exist, it's as if red and yellow as a colour combo is a no no! Finaly I found the spannish football shirt (2007ish) was a likely candidate. Simply sew the gryffindor badge over the top and there you go.
The rest was pretty easy to source. I figured jodhpurs would make a good quidditch trouser as riding a broom can be likened to riding a horse (in the areas of chaffing etc
)
As for pads the closest and cheapest I could find were in black but if push came to shove could always spray them with some brown paint.
Should probably add my uniform is very much unfinished as of yet and I made this tut whilst waiting for the sweater to arrive from america
Once it's done i'll post up
