This super cute costume features a shiny orange velvet jumpsuit, detachable tail and detailing that is made to look just like Bingo. I made a free pattern for the pointed, standing ears that you can use for any animal costume, and it comes with a large and small size.

My older boy went through a stage where it was too “babyish” for him but I notice how excited he gets to watch it at the end of his day. I wasn't really too keen on my colour match but since I'm a last-minute kinda person, it was the only option at the time. If you have some time there is also a colouring mask that your child can colour and decorate if they wish. I don’t recommend using acrylic felt or craft felt because it’ll look worn out after being washed once. I didn't give an exact measurement on how much of this felt you would need as it depends on the size of your child’s jumper.All of the pieces are going to be used by my kids this year, and the sweatshirt will be played with as a dress up or actually worn as a sweatshirt throughout the winter. I have talked to several parents who also love watching Bluey, and I realized that Bluey and Bingo could be a really popular Halloween costume this year.

I chose a cotton sweatshirt and leggings as a base for this costume since we live in an area that is cold at the end of October. If you're not able to make your own homemade bingo costume, I have found some easy Bingo or Bluey costumes that you can purchase. Wool felt in three colors: off-white, mustard, and dark orange – if you use wool felt it can be left on the sweashirt and washed. I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. I did try to convince my older son to go as Bluey but as I said at the start… according to him it's for babies and he couldn't go to school looking uncool.Lay the felt over each end of the tail and bond with the no sew adhesive as described in the method above. If you don't require shoes though, some yellow-cream socks to match Bingo's tummy and paws would look amazing. That's why you'll notice the supplies image was a little different to the list as I had to improvise.

Before sealing the end of the tail, loop the thicker elastic so the tail can be attached around the child’s waist. For the gloves, repeat the same process of ironing the adhesive to the felt shapes and then removing the backing and laying onto the gloves.Today I’m talking all about the DIY Bingo costume, and yesterday I shared all about the DIY Bluey costume! I love to inspire confidence in others to create and fill their lives (and homes) with merriment using their own uniquely awesome personality. The best part about these costumes is that all the pieces are easy to find separately and sewing is only required for the sweatshirt. It also includes a sublimated character headpiece with super soft felt ears and front closure to make it super easy to take on and off. For the felt that I added to the sweatshirt, I chose a high quality wool felt since it’s still easy to work with but can be washed.

Luckily I didn't have more than two children or the opening Bluey theme song could get really awkward for the subsequent kids. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size. I got this tracksuit in the girl's section at KMart as I couldn't find anything in the boy's clothes. But of course, something like that isn't going to stop my children from jamming out and enjoying the Bluey song!

A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper. The adhesive should have instructions but if not make sure the side touching the felt is slightly rougher than the side you will be ironing. This is definitely an adult project as it involves sharp scissors and a hot iron but kids will love dressing up. The instructions for both characters are interchangeable apart from Bluey who has some additional dark blue spots on the back of her top.
