He wants to be Sludge from Nate the Great. I am having trouble finding a brown or beige sweatshirt and sweat pants. Do you have any suggestions that I can use for the base of the costume? I am unable to sow a suit from a pattern..i suck at sowing. I am able to hand stitch. I havent had luck finding a costume at any of my local stores...and the ones that I did see were for infants look way too hot anyway. He needs to be able to wear the costume to school. Please help!
Why not make it out of felt... ? Have your son wear sweats and over the sweats make a light felt overlay.. If you can whip stitch it should be ok.. Just get some brown felt, maybe a dark brown/lighter brown and cut it into large oval's and whip stich it together. Make him a dog collar out of foamy strips and put a name tag (sludge) on it so people know who he is... Get some or make some dog ears out of a cheap headband and some extra felt pieces. That should be pretty good/cheap.... Good luck
