I looked all over the internet and could not find any Yoshi costumes for my little boy to wear. We had decided to do a Mario Brothers theme for the whole family for Halloween and we were so excited about it that I knew I had to find a way to make a Yoshi costume for him.
First, I measured him from head to toe. I then went out and bought some thin green and white fleece. I made the body of the costume like a one-piece outfit and then I added a tail and stuffed it with some pillow stuffing. I made a hood and attached Yoshi’s face, stuffing where it was needed as I went.
Using orange fleece, I cut a zig-zag pattern to make the “spikes” going down his head and stitched them on. I sewed the hood onto the body at the back. I added a white zipper up the middle of the front. On the back I put a big red circle and put a bit of stuffing into it, not enough to make it fluffy, just to pump it up a little. I added a white ring around the red circle.
For the boots I just cut a very simple shoe cover pattern out of orange fleece and stitched it down the back.

We are doing the same for Halloween this year. Can I buy it from you for our son? His birthday is in Oct and all he wants is a Yoshi costume. Yours looks a lot more like Yoshi than any of the other one i can purchase. If so please comment back. Thanks!
Do you make and sell these? My 5 year old wants to be Yoshi for Halloween this year.
Your costume is perfect! I was searching all over for a yoshi costume – although all of the costume stores had it listed on their sites, non of them have it in stock. You have inspired me to make it myself! Thankfully, I was able to order the yoshi plush hat off the internet, so I won’t have to make that!
Good job!
i would love to buy one from you for my 4 year old!!! please let me know if your interested!!

Hello, I have tried looking everywhere for a yoshi costume. My son really wants to be yoshi for Halloween. Do you make and sell them? I would try and attempt it but I don’t have the best sewing skills, wish I did. Please let me know if you do make and sell them.
Thanks
Hi!
I have looked everywhere for a great Yoshi costume for my 5 year old and they all look nothing like Yoshi.
Do you sell Yoshi costumes? I cannot sew to save my life and this would be perfect for Halloween.
Please email me if you sell, I will purchase immediately!
