Tux the Linux Penguin Costume

Step 12: Getting in and Out

Depending on your size, you may require a larger or smaller access point. Make sure you can get in and out before you put the Velcro on. I sewed the bottom half of the lower curvy part of the belly onto the main body of the costume, and the curvy part at the top, also sewing a couple inches down from the top curvy part. The rest of the area I used as my access point. Ideally I would have used a zipper for this, but I had no idea how to attach a zipper so I used Velcro instead. CAUTION, do not try to sew Velcro with a sticky side. It will gum up your needle and not sew at all. Either use the Velcro without a sticky substance on the other side, or use hot glue to hold the Velcro to the fabric.
