Materials
To put this Baby Mario costume together, you will need:
- Red fabric with 50%+ stretch (mine is from Croft Singer)
- Blue or denim-look fabric with 50%+ stretch (mine if from Luna D’Avalon)
- The FREE Grow with Me Romper pattern
- The FREE Baby Hats and Bibs pattern
- The Baby Dakota pattern
- This appliqué file
- A scrap of white fabric
- 2 yellow buttons
- An embroidery machine with red thread loaded (if you don’t have an embroidery machine, this appliqué could be accomplished using the method found HERE)
Method
The first thing to do is cut your hat and appliqué a Mario symbol front and center. Then complete the hat and the Baby Dakota pattern according to the pattern instructions. Next, square off the neckline of the “romper back” pattern piece and the “romper back lining” pattern piece. Cut two romper backs from the main fabric, and two romper back lining pieces from the lining fabric. Finally, sew the romper according to the pattern instructions, and hand sew two yellow buttons to the base of the straps at the front.
The perfect DIY Baby Mario costume is complete! Enjoy your adorable baby Mario on Halloween, a Super Mario party, or as an everyday look for extra smiles.
