Next up, let’s look at the arm and leg bands. Pin down the pockets and stitch around the oval. Not too much, just enough to puff up the flannel. This will create 6 “pockets” in the flannel and create the look of the turtle’s chest. Stitch three lines on the flannel: one up the center, and two horizontally across the length of the material. □Ĭenter the oval on the front of the sweatshirt and pin it in place. ![]() Note: You can hem the edges of the flannel at this point, but I chose not to since this is a costume and not something that will be worn under close scrutiny. To cut the oval, fold the flannel in half lengthwise, draw the corners of the oval on the material with a disappearing ink pen, then cut the material to create the oval. Measure the front of the sweatshirt to determine the size of the oval. The size will be dependent on the size of your sweatshirt. You will need to make an oval out of the yellow flannel. You can’t have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes without some muscles, and most of them seem to be on the chest! Let’s start off with that muscle shirt, shall we?

It will take you a little longer but I promise, if I can do it you can, too!ĭIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costumes Supplies:ĭIY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costumes: Green Sweats If you have any sewing experience at all you will be able to knock these out in no time. These were pretty much a cinch to make, even for a novice seamstress such as myself! I remember my brother being obsessed with them when we were little! They are more colorful, and more reminiscent of my childhood. My boys love to watch the old TMNT cartoons that we have on DVD, so these costumes reflect those turtles, not the new version on television now.

Normally I am a last minute type of gal getting these sorts of projects done. ![]() They are both completely obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( did you catch my 5 year old’s TMNT birthday party last month?) so it was a no brainer what they dress up as.Īnd luckily they both like different turtles!
