I'm also making Lucas for her brother's costume, but that's easy compared to Turtwig! -Ren near ChicagoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823701322221784260.post-11525777765578262072008-10-27T22:35:00.000-07:002008-10-27T22:35:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing great ideas for homemade Hallow...Thanks for sharing great ideas for homemade <A HREF="http://www.couponalbum.com/category/halloween.htm" REL="nofollow">Halloween costumes</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823701322221784260.post-59318456982596597792008-10-27T21:14:00.000-07:002008-10-27T21:14:00.000-07:00I forgot to mention, for the hat I sewed up a flee...I forgot to mention, for the hat I sewed up a fleece hat with yellow on the bottom as you can see to be the jaw line of Turtwig. The twig is a finger shaped tube of brown fleece open at one end to stuff. After stuffing with polyfill, I sinched up the bottom by gathering with a basting stitch and then just blind stitched it to the top of the hat by hand. It stands up on its own by the stuffing alone. I ended up using craft felt to make the two leaves as they were more stiff than the fleece. Now Ike wants me to make him some "rasor leaves" to throw around. Good luck with it! Ike would love to see a photo of your Turtwig if you go ahead with it....and so would I!LittleRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954384288938803824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823701322221784260.post-61577455098291365142008-10-27T19:45:00.000-07:002008-10-27T19:45:00.000-07:00I cut out an oval sized for Ike 20inches by 16 inc...I cut out an oval sized for Ike 20inches by 16 inches with a flattened top. I sewed a piece of black feece across the middle with a zig zag top stitch. Then I sewed a dart at 10 and 2 o'clock taking in 2 inches width at the top of each one and tapering of over 5 inches. Then I did the same thing along the bottom at 4, 6 and 8 o'clock. Then I sewed the shell onto a black oval cut 4 inches larger all the way around then the shell when it is filled out. Then I topstitched the shell to the middle of the black oval, cut a slit in the back to allow for stuffing.Now cut another black oval the same size and sew right sides together leaving 6 inches to turn right side out. In retrospect I should have put a little batting into the black edge before turning to make it not so floppy. Then I cut in green an oval to topstitch onto the bottom side of the shell stitching along the inside edge between the brown shell and black edging. I did not sew along the bottom, and I cut out a large neck hole and arm holes as well. I measured around Ike's body to determine the width necessary for this oval. Hope that makes some sense for you!LittleRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954384288938803824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823701322221784260.post-40770253537698030472008-10-27T08:12:00.000-07:002008-10-27T08:12:00.000-07:00OMG!

I was thinking I'd have to put her into yellow boots and mittens, but I love your idea for adding yellow to the cuffs. How did you make your shell? And how did you get the twig to stand up on the head? Thanks so much! Homemade is the only kind of costume we use, too, but this year I got a late start!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
