Supplies needed:
- 1/2 yard of shag “fur” fabric* (this is enough for 2 girl costumes or 1 teen/adult)
- 1 pair of knee high socks
- scissors
- sewing machine, matching thread (seam ripper if you’re like me)
- 1 yard of elastic
- Optional – blank t-shirt and Varsity Iron-On letters
*Shag fur fabric comes in many colors but it’s kinda pricey. It was $24 a yard at my fabric store but because it comes in 60″ length a half yard was more than enough
Instructions:
- Cut the foot off your knee socks.
- Cut your “fur” to size – use the length of your remaining sock and circumference of your wearer’s calf for the width.
- Use a zig-zag stitch to attach the “fur” to the top of the sock. Leave about a half inch of the sock un-sewn to the “fur” (this will allow for some stretch to get the sock off and on.
- Measure your wearer’s waist and cut a length of elastic 1 inch longer. Overlap your extra one inch and sew your elastic into a circle (as pictured). Cut a piece of “fur” the same width as the elastic, you can decide on the length (I picked 9″). Sew the “fur” onto the elastic, slightly stretching the elastic as you go.
- Optional – Iron the letters PNK to a t-shirt.
(you don’t have to use 2″ elastic as I have pictured here, it is just the only elastic I had on hand)
Monsters University comes out on Blu-Ray Combo pack on October 29th and you can pre-order your copy now. When it arrives my (oh my gosh when did she get so big) little girl will have her own dress up costume to watch the movie over and over and over again, just like her little sister does when we watch her princess movies!
