OUCH!! Better PIC COMIN SOON! LOL
My son told me last year that he wanted to be a blue M&M.
Okay, I said, Let's see what we can
come up with.
You will need:
About a metre of material, whichever colour your child prefers.
2 White Felt Sheets
Sewing equipment, Machine, Thread, Scissors, etc.
This Pattern
Measure your child from the top of his neck at the back of his head to the middle of his
thigh. I used newsprint to make a large pattern a complete circle that is the diameter of the
number you measured from your child. For example: my son was 26 inches from the top of his
neck to the middle of his thigh, so the diameter of my circle was 26 inches. When you have
made your pattern, pin it to your coloured material and cut 2.
I held it up to him
and put 2 X's at approximately the mid humerus length (upper arm) on one of the large circles
of material on the inside. There, I cut a line about 7 inches vertically and sewed the sides to
make a hem on either side of each slit. These are the arm holes. This is the front.
To make the back, I cut a slit down the middle about a third of the way and sewed velcro on
each side to make it easy to get on and off.
Using the Pattern provided for the M, trace and cut 2 from the white felt. Sew one onto the
front good side and one on the back piece, on the good side.
Place the circles together
with the good sides facing in and sew around the circles, leaving 12 inches open at the bottom
for your child's legs. VOILA! You have an M & M.
