Finally after a few years, I got all my favorite costumes I created for my son in one sewing pattern!
It started with a little white wolf.
It started with a little white wolf.
With an easy zip front, comfortable design and no extra accessories, this was the perfect Halloween costume for our little guy!
You can choose to make it out of a warmer fabric like fleece if you live in colder climates, or make it cool with a lighter cotton. It's not unusual for us to trick-or-treat in the snow, so being able to layer under the costume is a feature we love--who wants to cover their costume with a coat!
Next came the bear.
Then most recently, we added the Tricky Fox!
Featuring over sized standing ears, white tipped tail and dyed lower arms and legs!

Hi Jessica I was wondering what material you used for the fox costume? I'm making the costume for my son who will be 19 months, so something that can be layered will be great! Do you think if would work with fleece?
ReplyDeleteMelly:
ReplyDeleteThe white wolf and ewok are made with fleece, I just don't hem the wrists or ankles since they won't fray and it would be really thick.
Good luck!
Hi Jessica, I was wondering what material the fox was made of?
ReplyDeleteI used a poly/cotton blend broadcloth for the fox. I made it in the summer, so I wanted it lighter. The ewok and Max wolf were from fleece to be warm for Halloween.
ReplyDelete**Due to the poly blend in the fox, it didn't accept the dye that well, more of a stain than a dye if you're planning on dying the black forepaws, a 100% cotton will hold the dye well
Love your blog! Had a lot of fun making the fox costume and my wee one loves it. Check out my blog post on why I <3 PDF patterns. Features your woodland animal costume. http://ow.ly/ew6wE
