I started making stuffed animal clothes out of felt, and came up with awesome creations. You can make a bat costume by using pointy ears and wings[just fold some felt in half and cut out wings and sew them on] i just cut the skirt cool. Make a cat by using cat ears.

Get Out All the Things You Need

If you get out all the things you need first, you won't have to run around, getting stuff you need the whole time. You need black felt, cow spots felt{If you can't find that, just sew black felt cow spots on a piece of white felt ] a piece of clothing from your animal{i used a dress} sewing scissors, and of course, the animal so you can try the clothes on it sometimes, if you're not sure you're doing it right.

Cut the Skirt

Put down a piece of felt long side down and cut out a rectangle {height is important here} out of the black felt. Make sure the rectangle is longer then the top. If it's not, cut out two. You can cut an interesting edge on the skirt.

Sew on the black rectangle onto the top like a skirt. Fold and sew. If you're dress is about or the same length as mine, start sewing the skirt a little bit beside the armholes. Cut out two rectangles of felt if you're dress is pretty big.

You can make these creations too, With a border with a strand of felt, or long sleeves of even a shirt! Make sleeves by cutting a good sized square of felt, a good size for you're animals arms. Turn it inside out and sew the side shut, then sew it to the inside of the dress.
