    Has anyone ever done this costume? My husband & I are thinking of going as Popeye & Olive Oyl. Our son would be sweet pea. He'll be just over a year old at Halloween.

    We want to make the costumes ourselves, so I'm looking for ideas & pictures if you have any.

    Thanks!

    Well, you definitely need to check out the 80s movie with Robin Williams. Sound like an awesome idea!

    This is good advice.

    I was just googling & found this pic of a Sweet Pea costume, I'm sure it's a pic for a store bought one, but how CUTE!

    For Popeye's arms, I would probably use a long sleeve shirt as a base, then wrap batting around the forearm for the muscles and cover with nylons or stretchy flesh colored fabric. Then use markers for the anchor tatoos. Sounds like a great family costume!
