The Yoshi costume I made before started out as a hoodie. That seemed to work pretty well, so I decided to keep that. But, I couldn't find a good hoodie pattern so I decided to make my own pattern. I have never made a pattern before, so I'm really not so sure if it's going to turn out okay... we'll see! Before I made the pattern pieces I drafted what each piece would look like and took measurements.
Then I bought some fabric that I believe is used to make pattern pieces... it's interfacing with a grid printed on it.
And I drafted all the pieces on the fabric...
In case you want to make your own I included how many to cut and from what color fabric. It's hard to make out the pattern lines in this picture but you can make out the basic shape from the first picture.
Next, I bought some fabric! I used fleece because it's fuzzy and doesn't need the edges finished. Plus, it's warm so I won't need to worry about wearing a jacket over it if it's cold outside.
Also pictured is a bag of polyfil to stuff the spikes, tail and saddle rim. I bought one bag to start with but I think I may need more.
Then I cut the pieces out! This is my least favorite part about sewing but it seemed to go by rather quickly.
Here's the hood, tail and sleeve...
Here's the back...
The front...
And the spikes, saddle, saddle rim, and belly.
On to Phase Two: The Build!!!!!
