Materials Needed
Before we get started, let’s go over the materials you’ll need. You will need a leopard print fabric, a sewing machine, thread, scissors, a measuring tape, and a pencil.
Step 1: Design
Start by designing your costume. Decide on the style and shape you want for your costume. Do you want a bodysuit or a dress? Do you want long sleeves or short sleeves? Once you have a design in mind, sketch it out on paper.
Step 2: Measurement
Take your measurements and write them down. Measure your waist, hips, bust, and length from your shoulder to your ankles. This will help you determine how much fabric you need.
Step 3: Fabric Cutting
Using your measurements, cut the fabric according to your design. Cut the front and back pieces of the costume, as well as the sleeves if you’re making a dress. Don’t forget to leave room for the seams.
Step 4: Sewing
Using your sewing machine, sew the front and back pieces of the costume together at the shoulders and sides. If you’re making a dress, sew the sleeves onto the bodice. Hem the bottom of the dress or bodysuit.
Step 5: Details
Now it’s time to add some details to your costume. Cut out some black fabric and sew it onto the costume to create spots. You can also add a tail by cutting a long piece of fabric and sewing it onto the back of the costume.
Step 6: Accessories
To complete your leopard Halloween costume, you’ll need some accessories. Add some black boots or shoes, and some black gloves. You can also create leopard ears and a leopard nose using some black felt and a headband.
