I made at least 4 hat brims before I found one that fit correctly on the fleece hat. ![]() Then, I free-handed the fleece captain hat, but my math/measuring skills were NOT WORKING. I tried to freehand the fleece pattern, but couldn't get a good fit, so I used a free pattern from Fleece Fun and added little fleece ears into the side seam. The chevrons are glued-on bits of craft felt. They're held together in the back with a velcro strip. I cut two identical pieces from the light blue felt and stitched them together. I made the collar by tracing the neckline of the t-shirt and sketching a collar shape. Mae was very excited about the Octo-compass on her belt, which consisted of scraps of craft felt held together by a combination of sewing and fabric glue. The belt is just a doubled rectangle of felt, held in the back with two strips of sew-on velcro. I made the hat, collar, and belt from white fleece and light blue felt purchased at Jo-Ann. (One of Mae's favorite Octonauts episodes features a Long Arm Squid, so it feels very appropriate that she refers to this blue t-shirt as a "long arm sleeve shirt.")

I also ordered the rubber boots from Amazon. Me: "How many legs does Professor Inkling have?"įor the costume, I ordered the blue sweatpants and t-shirt from Primary. ![]() We were discussing how many legs different types of animals have, and I asked about Professor Inkling (the Octopus from Octonauts). Mae also got in a little "trick" on us this week. ![]() She was so excited about it that we had to take it with us on our mini-vacation last weekend. We've enjoyed the Halloween haul, and Mae even shared her full-size Hershey bar with me.
