sewing pattern for squirrel costume

[twinsetandpearls]

I need to make a squirrel costume for dd and I was going to sew one, in the past I have found some fab patterns and made one, does anyone know of a squirrel pattern?

[twinsetandpearls]

I suppose I could adapt these I can't even think what a squirrel looks like.

[twinsetandpearls]

she is 6

You could make the cat pattern from those you linked to, but you'd need to give it a bushy tail somehow

[twinsetandpearls]

yes we have found a pattern similar to that one but from England and we are now trying to work out what to make the tail out of.

What kind of nativity has squirrels? Angels and shepherds were much easier.

well i'm having fun googling squirrels but no luck in finding patterns!

maybe put some wire in material and cover with fluffy material

[ChasingSquirrels]

[twinsetandpearls]

Feather duster?

Last year she was a big so we are moving up the animal chain

[ChasingSquirrels]

[twinsetandpearls]

feather duster is a good idea, could we die the feathers?

[twinsetandpearls]

a bug sorry, although she was quite a big bug

[southeastastra]

[Washersaurus]

Just out of interest will she be a red or grey squirrel?

[twinsetandpearls]

we love that southeastastra

[twinsetandpearls]

she wants to be a red one

[Washersaurus]

Oh well, I found some fab shaggy grey fur here

[Washersaurus]

Here is some red

[ChasingSquirrels]

i actually thought you meant a pig, and thought a squirrel was a step down, but it is a definate step up from a BUG! what kind of production are they doing??

[twinsetandpearls]

Thanks for the fur!

It is a Catholic school believe it or not, Jesus always makes an appearance but so that all the little ones get a part the Holy Family are always surrounded by an increasingly bizarre collection of pets.

I have upset dd by laughing she has just said in a very sincere voice Jesus loves squirrels.
