Roomba costume

Step 2 Make patterns

The pdf file with the pattern for the mouse pieces is the guide for all following steps. It's not at all to size, but it is roughly to scale. Based on the measurements of your own Roomba, use it as a guide. You may want to enlarge each shape to the exact size on a copier, or just roughly copy the shapes onto scrap paper. The brown paper from cut-up paper grocery bags is ideal because it won't mark up whatever fabric you're using (unlike newsprint).

When I was making the mouse, I didn't bother with making patterns for the top and sides at all - I just drew and cut directly from the Roomba itself (see Step 3).

Cut whatever pieces you've made out of whatever kind of paper you're using.
