byu cosmo cougar costume
Well, in that location's just over two weeks until Halloween – are you gear up? I'm not. In years past I've made costumes for all four boys, starting in September and sewing abroad all through October. This year I'm only making one costume (the other kids are borrowing or recycling costumes) and I haven't even started yet!
So as I avert starting on this year'southward costume, here'due south a picayune run-down of my favorite costume from last year: BYU's mascot, Cosmo Cougar.
My son was pretty sure he was the star of his elementary school in this costume, and he certainly got a lot of compliments. The all-time part was that information technology was fairly simple to put together. Read on for a quick how-to.
I bought some faux-fur cloth at Joann'south and got started. Since the backside of the fur wasn't the most comfortable thing in the whole world I decided not to make a full accommodate of it – since Cosmo wears a shirt and pants anyway I but needed to embrace the bottoms of his arms and legs. For each arm I sewed up a long tube of fabric that went from just under his armpit downwardly past his wrist. Then I sewed a ring of elastic at the upper arm and another at the wrist to keep the "sleeves" in identify.
(I added the elastic the same way I did ruching in this post.) For his legs, I actually did full pants. I simply traced a pair of pajama pants, sewed them up, and added an elastic waistband. I also sewed a long skinny tail into the waistband that hangs out over his shorts.
I used a commercial blueprint for the hood (any sort of brute costume hood would work as a ground), but in case you don't want to get purchase a blueprint I've shown y'all the general shape of the pieces beneath. You could also but trace a hood from a sweatshirt to get the general shape.
I sewed on a little polyester stuffing in the ears and over the eyes to brand him look more like Cosmo.
Add together dark gloves and some football face pigment, besides as a BYU t-shirt and basketball shorts or football pants, and Cosmo'south ready to go!
