Trying to create my own Wilfred halloween costume!

[obscuredcherub]

I plan on going as Wilfred for Halloween this year and I'm starting the journey of making my very own since I can't find it being sold anywhere. I plan on showing the exact steps I used to make it and posting it on my site (wilfred costume) for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

If anyone has any advice/experience making any costumes like this:

Please chime in! I'd love to get some expert opinions before I begin.

Fantastic! I'm glad to see this being done.

Maybe you can find a pattern with a similar build and adapt it. Surely there's a kids costume pattern that you can scale up?

Good luck!

Look at simplicity pattern #2853 in the costume section. Should do as a base.
Good Luck.

Thanks a lot, that pattern looks great. I've seen a couple others so far but that one might just be the best. I need to find the perfect grey shag material to get started as well. I want it to be perfect.

That is Pucking Fantastic! Wilfred is fricking great. I can't believe he now has a show with Elijah Wood, priceless!
