Scarecrow Baby Costume

Scarecrow Baby Costume

I looked many places and couldn't find a baby costume that was cute and small enough for my daughter (and everywhere I looked they were all the same) so I decided I would make her one.
The outfit was fairly easy to make (just a little time consuming) The onsie, hat, patches and "straw" are all made of fleece (so baby would stay warm). I took apart one of my daughters onsies and hat to use as patterns , and bought a pair of overalls from a thrift store. I then just hand stitched on fleece patches and some buttons I already had onto the hat and overalls, then I took the yellow fleece and sewed it into the neck, sleeves, legs, pockets and hat. Next I simply cut it into strips to look like "staw". Put it all together and you have one very adorable scarecrow!

She is just as cute as a button, and in these times of economic stress we need to do all we can to save and make life a little easier.

I just wanted to say that I used your costume idea for my son and it turned out great! I took apart one of my sons onsies as you did and it worked GREAT as a pattern, the fleece idea was my favorite, it was soo nice and warm for my 6th month old while we took our 4 year old trick or treating. Just want to say GREAT JOB and thank you for the idea!

How adorable is that? Soft, not scratchy material (like some store bought costumes can be) for such a little one, and so very warm too. My daughter-in-law has been looking for something for her little one, and I will show her this. It is too cute! The onsie pattern idea is a good one.

Great idea! I still cant find anything for my twin boys, and this is perfect! I will try my best to make them as I am not the craftiest person. Although it seems very simple to make. I still can't get over how cute it is. The best thing about the costume is that it can be worn by either boys or girls. Love it!
