Yoshi Mascot and Baby Mario Costumes for Toddlers

Step 10Yoshi Head (Cut and adjust fabric)

Yoshi Head (Cut and adjust fabric)
Decided to use fleece for the material.  The fleece would allow the costume to look like a soft stuffed animal.  It would also allow for some stretching creating a nice tight looking finish.  Some of the smaller pieces (the spikes and the eye pupils) are felt.

Using those paper templates cut the fabric and the batting.  Attached and sewed the batting in place (batting likes to stick to the styrofoam).  After that pin up the front and back pieces of the fabric and make adjustments for all the various curves on the surface.

Sew the front and back pieces together on a machine then slide back onto the model of the head.  Don't forget to add the orange spikes in the back which are just rounded triangles with some filler in them.
