Okay, Halloween is coming up and my two month old baby will be almost 4 months by then. I really am dying to see him in a Yoshi (of Mario Brothers fame) costume! However, I can't find one pre-made and can't seem to find a suitable pattern to modify in his size.
So, this might sound weird, but there's a gaming store at the mall that has a Yoshi stuffed animal that is just about his size. Do you think it's possible to cut the little guy open, and turn him into a costume for my little man's first Halloween?
...Has anyone ever done anything like this? Do you have any pointers or tips? I hope it's not a stupid idea, but if it is tell me before I ruin a poor yoshi plush's day.
