Make an American Indian Costume Fringed Shirt, Pants, and Feather Hat
Lets turn an old pair of tan khaki pantsinto real Indian pants. Have your Mom or Dad help you pin the pants down the sides to fit the legs more closely—make them just wide enough to get them on and off. Then seam (sew) the sides and cut away the extra material. For the fringe, use canvas or felt if you have it—otherwise any sturdy fabric will do. Cut two strips about 1 1/2 inches wide, and make them the length needed from the waist to the bottom of the pants on the outside. With a sharp scissors, cut the fringe about 1 inch in depth. This leaves a strip about 1/2 inch wide to attach to the outside edge of the trousers. See Figure a above. Improvise an indian shirt by using an old shirt or pajama top and cutting fringe along the bottom and around the arm holes the way that you did above. See Figure b. Finally, with a narrow band around the forehead and a feather tucked in back of it, the costume is complete. See Figure c.
