Simplicity 2506: Dinosaur Costume

Pattern Description:
Toddlers' animal costumes, including toddler mouse costume, devil, dragon, angel, bear sewing patterns

Pattern Sizing:
A- there was only one size. I made the dinosaur costume.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked how easy it was and how quickly I was able to make it. This was my first time sewing with a nap (corduroy), but that was really easy as well.

Fabric Used:
Green corduroy and orange broadcloth

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I pretty much followed the pattern, but I did not use the foot part. I knew my son would be walking around out side in the costume, and I wanted him to wear sneakers.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Absolutely! Everyone thought it was a store-bought Halloween costume!

Conclusion:
My mother always made my Halloween costumes, and I want to follow that tradition. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it in time, but once I cut the pattern out, the rest was really simple.
