Halloween Costume - Dinosaur

My Green  and yellow polka dotted Dinosaur. This little dinosaur is super simple to make and cute to boot.

I started with a pair of green sweat pants.  I cut a bunch of yellow circles.  I hand stitched them on while watching my favorite show one night. 

Next I made an aviator hat out of green fleece.  Make sure to add a few triangles to the hat to match the triangles on the back.

For my tail I cut yellow and green fleece squares.  I used a few different sizes. I folded them in half to make triangles. Overlap your triangles making a chain.  I stitched along the edges.  I then pinned them to the back of the shirt. To attach permanently, line up your squares on the angle and stitch down the center. Attaching the squares to the shirt.  Proceed to fold the squares into triangles and stitch the edges. 

Add a few painted dots to their face and your little dinosaur is ready to go.  

Halloween Costumes - Butterball Turkey

For my baby boys first Halloween he was a Butterball Turkey.

I started with a brown shirt and pants. I cut a yellow oval from felt.  I used my Silhouette to cut the word Butterball.  I ironed the words onto the felt.  I then stitched the yellow felt onto the shirt.

For the hat I made a basic winter hat in brown.  I used a small piece of cream felt to make a turkey timer.  I stitched it onto the hat.

I used cream to make the leg cuffs.  I cut a 6x12 inch piece of felt.  Fold it in half making it 3x12.  Stitch the top and make a casing. Thread a 1/4 inch piece of elastic through the casing.  Stitch ends together and stitch felt to the elastic. 

Your Turkey is done.
