This year my 4 year old son Julian said he wanted to be Bowser (King Koopa) for Halloween. I looked for it everywhere online… but, couldn’t seem to find this costume anywhere. So I decided that it was up to me to make it. The costume is made up of a lot of felt, batting, … Read more
For my 21st birthday (which was conveniently Halloween 2012) my mom and I got together to make by far the coolest hand made Princess Peach costume I have ever had the chance to wear! Unfortunately, neither my mother or I had any experience in costume making or sewing so we bit off a lot to chew. At … Read more
For school this year my son needed a costume that wasn’t bulky or had a lot of accessories, so I knew that wouldn’t be his original costume that he would be wearing Trick Or treating. He mentioned Mario in his rambling of other possibilities and I thought Mario would be perfect, simple and very few … Read more
On the weeks preceding Halloween week 2012 our group put together six different Mario kart character costumes complete with matching adult size big wheels and flags. Bowser, Yoshi, Luigi, Donkey Kong, King Boo and Diddy Kong. We originally had a Mario, Peach and Toad but….well, you know the drill. We all purchased “Huffy Green Machine” … Read more
This Yoshi costume was requested by my daughter and her friends. It is an iconic video game character and most children and young adults can easily identify him from the Mario Brothers games.I had no idea, however, the enormity of the task of creating an adult sized costume of this beloved character. The first challenge … Read more
This Mario and Luigi girl’s couple costume is from Halloween 2004. My roommate and I had acquired an old Nintendo and our favorite game to play (usually at 3am when we got home from a night out) was the original Super Mario Bros. We thought it would be an awesome Halloween costume. We got the overalls … Read more
There are many pre-made Mario themed costumes out there but they are all so over used and lacking in good taste so this year we decided to go the extra mile. Much of the Princess Peach costume was purchased at a costume store but only when we broke out the old sewing kit to attach … Read more
This is our fun Mario, Peach, and Yoshi Family Costume. I made my dog’s costume but using a green t-shit and a yard of green fabric and felt squares in red and white. I cut the felt in the shape of a hood then cut eyes out and used an old black shirt to make … Read more
Of course my son doesn’t want to be anything easy… lol, but I love to sew and this is my one chance to shine. I went to cut octagons for his Dry Bones costume, he (7yrs old) says “no…turtles have hexagon shells not octagons”, silly me. Material was left over from last year’s Angry Bird, … Read more
This great homemade Super Mario costume I handmade. I made the hat from felt and the overalls from blue nylon material. It was not too difficult and it was a Halloween when Mario was not as popular. We put raccoon ears and a tail to be the Mario with flying powers. My boy loves Mario … Read more
Every once in awhile my husband and I refer to my little destructive infant son Henry as H-Bomb, so it was quite fitting for us to choose a Bob-Omb from Mario as his first costume. I sewed the entire costume myself (except for the long sleeve top underneath) out of fleece and felt with a … Read more
My son was having a Super Mario birthday party and we thought it would be fun if all the kids could dress as Mario. Since we had several kids at the party and I was going to let the kids keep them as favors, I had to make it easy and cheap. I found some … Read more
