I changed the pattern up a bit for these. I have seen tons of this style in different stores this past month and had to give it go. Changes include a flat front and wider bias trim at he bottom.

I made them both from a meter of the flowery fabric. The shorts are a size 5T and the hat is a large.
The shorts are fully lined in white cotton and the hat is pink and white pinstripe on the reverse.

And here is his co-drummer, on the other side of the stage. Note puppet show going on in the background. The drummer is beating on the 'dhole' or the traditional Rajasthani drum. (Pune/ Poona, Oct. 2008)

Story time on Óbudai sziget. While the main story teller was changing sets around, this gentleman would play various instruments (including the Hurdy Gurdy above) and sing short little songs. Hungary trip, 2006

Trip to Fairyland. Perfect day :)
"Puppets draw crowds to Oakland's Ferry Land for over 50 years
Oakland Tribune, Feb 26, 2004 by Kathleen Grant Geib, STAFF WRITER
RANDAL J. Metz's history of puppetry at Children's Fairyland in Oakland reads like a who's who of puppeteers in America.
It's also a terrific introduction to the world of puppets, particularly the world that has existed on the shores of Lake Merritt for more than half a century.
"Storybook Strings: 50 Years of Puppetry at Children's Fairyland's Storybook Puppet Theater" (Rappid Rabbit Publishing, $19.95) is as much a visual history of puppetry as a written one. More than half of Metz's book is dedicated to lively black-and-white photos of puppet shows, puppeteers and theater directors.
Metz's book also contains early Fairyland photos. You can view architect William Russell Everritt's models of Fairyland sets and a photo of William Penn Mott Jr. and Arthur E. Navlet, the creative minds behind Fairyland.
Metz describes Fairyland as a fun, accessible family park from the moment it opens in 1950. Even before the Storybook Puppet Theater is completed in 1956, puppet shows prove to be Fairyland's most popular entertainment. Metz describes the park as a magnet for the Bay Area's talented puppeteers.
Early puppet shows are presented by influential artists Ralph Chesse and Lettie Connell Schubert. Schubert is also particularly active in the early years of the San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild (SFBAPG).
Frank and Dorothy Hayward and Bruce Sedley also provide puppet shows at Fairyland in the early '50s. The Haywards' shows are part magic, part puppet-and-marionette shows, and Metz describes Frank as a gifted magician.
Hayward and Sedley
Upon completion of Storybook Theater, the Haywards are named puppet theater directors. Unfortunately, Frank suffers a fatal heart attack shortly after, leaving Dorothy both sole director and new mother.
In recognition for the theatrical support she receives from SFBAPG members after Frank's passing, Dorothy co-creates the San Francisco Bay Area Puppet Fair, an annual gathering of puppeteers at Fairyland.
Sedley, another early puppeteer, is famous at Fairyland not only for his sidekick King Fuddle, a ventriloquist puppet with whom he hosts cartoon shows on television, but also as creator of the Children's Fairyland Story-
book Magic Key.
Sedley's key idea begins when the puppeteer announces, on his television show, tours of Fairyland sets with King Fuddle. The puppeteer expects a few kids, but as the tours become popular, Sedley fears he will lose his voice from telling so many stories. Instead, he develops the idea of a Magic Key that kids insert into a "Talking Storybook" at each set, allowing them to listen to a story or song.
You can almost hear Metz's glee when he says Sedley's idea is still used in zoos and kids parks around the world. You never know what will emerge from the world of puppets, he seems to say.
Urbano and Coad
After Hayward retires as puppet theater director in 1959, handsome and talented Tony Urbano is appointed. Metz includes a photo of Urbano posing with his marionette, Prince Charming. It's uncanny how much they look alike.
Metz describes Urbano as a natural puppeteer who, as a youth, is fortunate enough to work with both Chesse and Schubert. After a stint in the armed forces, Urbano returns to Fairyland and works with Hayward and a young Frank Oz, of Muppets fame.
Unfortunately, Urbano's love of theater leaves him overworked, and in 1962 he bids farewell to Fairyland. The puppeteer's eclectic career includes television ads starring Snuggle Bear and the Parkay Tub and work in both "Men In Black" films. more>>
The library welcomed Charles Kubricht for a Nutcracker Puppet show. With the holidays approaching, everyone is getting into the holiday spirit.
From the Oliver S pattern for Puppetshow Tunic and shorts. This was very detailed, and took a fair amount of time. But it turned out really cute! I chose to use just one fabric rather than a second complimentary fabric.
Oliver & S. Puppet Show Bloomers!
These are made out of a linen/spandex(?) blend, with pocket bindings made out of vintage cotton.
They took me forever to make (my fault, not the pattern's) but I'm thrilled with them -- they're adorable.

This pattern was the 1st one that I cut from O+S (over 1 year ago - glad I cut 2T)... For a number of reasons, I never seem to finish it (still need to add bottons to the sleeves) but the fact is that I really love the way it will turn out (soon, I hope)...
Fabric from Heather Bailey from my stash (I just wish I had choose 2 different prints).

Meagan and I went to the "Peter Rabbit" Puppet Show today at the library. Notice the sign in Maori over the puppet theatre.
Two Egyptian actresses in costume watch a rod puppet show at backstage in the National Puppet Theatre in Cairo, Egypt, on March 5, 2015. Puppetry has a long history in Egypt, which could be dated back to the Pharaonic times. Egyptians began to manufacture Marionette dolls for entertainment in the 1960's, when they established the National Puppet Theatre in capital Cairo. Due to social turmoil, entertainments seem rare and precious for Egyptian people. Meanwhile the fading industry of puppetry is challenged by mass media, internet and mobile phones and gradually lost popularity in the past decade. (Xinhua/Pan Chaoyue)
