Costumes of Halloween Past–Pikachu

This is my little Pikachu.  My boys went through a Pokémon phase.  I think many boys do.  He begged for weeks for a Pikachu costume.  So I came up with this.

I used a costume pattern to give me the 1 piece outfit.  We made his zip down the back so you wouldn’t see the zipper.

Then I added Dark Brown Ric Rac across the back.  I cut a tail out of Peltex and fleece.  I sandwiched the peltex  in between the 2 pieces of fleece and stitched around the edge. I sewed  the tail onto the back of the costume. 

The hat used a basic winter hat pattern and I added the ears.  That was it.  He loved that costume.  He asked to wear it the next year.  But I think he was to tall.   He was toasty warm for trick or treating and as happy as can be.
