These pockets are also completely usable. You can do yours different ways like me or pick your favorite and do them all that way. I decided to do these two ways: 1) piece of fabric for pocket with a flap over and 2) a completely detached pocket. I knew I wanted two breast pockets and two side pockets on the pants. Since I just tried my best to follow the pattern as it was written, I'll just talk about things I added on. This is the biggest sewing project I have tackled to date. I know not everyone has time to do this, so another option is to buy a yellow jumpsuit.

Short Red Wig - I got mine from Ebay so this isn't the exact one I got but it can be a good one.Shoes to wear - they won't be damaged or altered.White Elastic - I'm using this thin elastic because it's what I already had.White Felt - you don't need a huge roll, but if you can find a larger piece that would help as you want to make sure it's big enough to make each piece.White Belt - you can try to sew something like a thick white ribbon if you don't want or have a belt, I found my belt at a thrift store.Sewing Machine - You can hand sew this if you want but that will be difficult.Yellow Zipper - make sure this works with your pattern, like if you need a regular zipper or hidden/invisible zipper.Yellow Fabric I decided to use Duckcloth because I wanted something not see-through and sturdy- enough for the pattern.The key things you want are front zipper, pockets, and a collar, mine had the front zipper and collar, but I actually made my own pockets.A Pattern for a Jumpsuit - I used Butterick 3508 which I think I bought on Ebay.She came up with the poses all on her own.This costume consists of 4 main parts: Jumpsuit, White Boots or Boot Covers, Red Hair, and a White Belt. Nora was quite happy to model the finished turtle shell for me. Since I made the whole thing up and only one part went wrong, I'm pretty happy. Just thought you should know that I know the green squares look weird. I'm sure you didn't necessarily want that window into my crazy mind. I'm calling this a success since I saved money and made my daughter happy. She is happy to have a baby turtle shell. She doesn't care what the shell looks like. And you certainly shouldn't tell the whole internet that you made that. Perfectionist Me: You can't let Nora wear that shell with those weird tile felt squares. Rational Me: What can I do about it now? They're all glued on. Rational Me: Yeah, I guess I should have done those differently. Perfectionist Me: Those squares look like tiles. I had a major mental battle over those when the shell was complete. I found lighter green felt sheets at JoAnn Fabrics (I bought four). I went to Hobby Lobby and bought 1 yard of green felt (although I would have been fine with 1/2 yard), 1.5 yards of green webbing (used for straps), and Polyfil stuffing.

She asked to be a pink turtle, but I convinced her to be a regular green turtle with a pink bow in her hair. So it was settled: Nora was ecstatic to be a baby turtle for Halloween. But when we were choosing Halloween costumes, we were pretty sure what Nora would like to be.įor about five or six months now, she has been crawling to me saying, "I'm the baby turtle and you're the mommy turtle and I need my turtle food." To be accurate, you have to read that in the highest pitch voice possible. Disney Princesses, Doc McStuffins, even Dora. But I couldn't find what the other two kids wanted for cheap enough so I had to get creative. This year I found a fantastic costume for Nolan (much cooler I do have a problem paying an arm and a leg for aĬostume if I think I can make it for less money than the purchase
