I'd love to hear how you designed the ostrich body and how you built up the neck. I've wanted to do something like this for years but don't want to waste materials figuring out how to get things like the body and neck to actually keep their shape.
Hi Oyster:
I just found this website and am also interested to see how you make this costume. I have also been searching for some insights into this tricky costume.
Can you please share?
thanks,
Pat
Hi Oyster, I know this pic is from 2009, and hope u are still using this site. I always make the costumes for grandkids, trying to utilize a pattern and then modifying.
Love the Ostrich, and am pretty sure I can do, but wondering about getting body size of bird right. How did u figure that and can u share any other handy sewing and design tips?
Thanks
