This homemade costume for pets entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Amy, the 'Lion' costume creator:

My golden retriever Tessa is wearing a lion costume I made. Simple to make - Measure the beast, sew the body to slip it over her head. Sew round ears with light fabric in front, dark fabric in back. Cut holes in the mane, turn inside out and feed the ears through the holes and sew.

I just saw this today and am going to make it for my Granddaughter's yellow lab next year - Thank you for posting it - It is too cute! - Tessa doesn't seem to mind too much (but then goldens pretty much put up with anything :-)

What type of fabric did you use, or how did you find that material? I am hoping to make my dog be a lion too!

Sorry I made this for my dog. It was super easy though. If you have basic sewing machine skills you can do it. I'm awful with the sewing machine, but thankfully the fabric hides all my mistakes!

Is there a pattern somewhere?

#7 comment by Amy September 30, 2014

No, I just measured my dog and drew my own pattern.

Awesome! I have a red fox Lab and want to do this! Did you just sew a tube? How does it stay on? Would love to know what this fabric is called. Looks more lion like than most faux fur I've seen
