Roomba costume

Make a furry mouse costume for your Roomba.

Supplies:
1 yard 60 wide fake fur
1/4 yard pink felt
pink thread
brown thread
straight pins
wire
2 2 pieces of sticky back velcro

Tools
Needle/thread/sewing machine
Scissors
Measuring tape

Step 1: Measure Roomba

If you're being careful, use a measuring tape to get the diameter of your Roomba at its widest, and the height of your Roomba at its tallest. That way, your patterns are less seat-of-the-pants. I was not so careful, and just traced the patterns directly from the Roomba.

My girlfriend already thinks the stock roomba is cute in its mousy movement... and calls it "Roomba" in the first person. I can't put a costume like this on it or it'll be too cute! Also, I was wondering if you covered the vacuum exhaust or if you left an undocumented hole for it? Wouldn't want people to cover that up...

Oh, good question. I don't remember, and don't have the costume on hand to check. I didn't end up using the costume that much -- it was cute, yes, but kept falling off.

Oh, I love this! When I get a Roomba I'm definitely making costumes for it. :D

I was expecting of costume to make you look like a Roomba, but this is way better. I just gotta ask, Does it only suck up cheese now?
