Plus Nacho Libre Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

But Ignacio had a secret desire, a dream as big as a burrito grande. He wanted to be a Luchador! To don a mask and unleash his inner warrior in the ring. But wrestling was banned in the monastery, and poor Ignacio was left with nothing but his spatula. After you sew all four edges under on both knee patches you will either need to hand sew them onto the leggings… or you can break a bunch of sewing rules like me and sew them on with the machine by feeding the leggings under the presser foot as shown. You can also attach them using hot glue. Ignacio, the chef extraordinaire of the orphanage, was born to a union of unlikely love between a Scandinavian missionary and a Mexican Protestant deacon. They may have tried to convert each other, but instead they found love and tied the knot. Sadly, they both passed on when Ignacio was just a little sprout, leaving him to cook up a storm at the orphanage.

NOTE: I tried warm glue first and it would work well for a non-walker (a baby) but for anyone who walks, a warm/cool hot glue will not hold. You need to use super glue or high-quality hot glue.

For the tights, the hardest part is going to be getting that signature blue color. That said, I don’t think your friends will care if it is a few shades off.

Add a touch of humor and playfulness to your costume with our wrestling boots, fake mustaches, and inflatable muscles. These accessories will take your Nacho Libre transformation to the next level, making you the life of the party. It’s important to do the shoes before doing the red knee patches so you have plenty of red legging material left to work with. So, for this step put the shoe inside the legging. Make sure the bottom of the legging (already hemmed part) is at the top above the shoe. Leave enough room for the legging to fall about mid-calf on the person. Now, with the leftover material from the red leggings, cut out rectangles that will fit over the knee area, making sure to leave room to sew the edges under and finish them with a sewing machine. Alternatively, you can use a hot glue gun to do this as well.
