Why Eeyore?
As a kid I wanted to be Eeyore at least once for Halloween. But at that point in time, the only Winnie the Pooh Halloween costumes that you could find were for Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet. None of which I wanted to be. So at the age of 21, I made a childhood dream come true of being my favourite Winnie the Pooh character for Halloween.
The entire costume is made out of broadcloth that I paid $2.75 a meter for. 5 meters for $13.75, so I'm happy xD The costume kind of looks like pyjamas with an Eeyore shirt underneath xD And a tail.
I bought a black mullet wig to use for Eeyore. No styling necessary. I made the ears out of blue-grey faux fur that I bought half a meter of two years ago. I initially wanted to have him done long ago... but I didn't have a deadline for him before. Now, he's almost done ^^ The inside of the ears are made with some of the fabric that one of my co-workers gave me to use for her Piglet costume. They're sewn right into the wig. They sit kind of funny when I wear the wig, but they look nice despite that xD
The tail was sewn into a strap and ironed. I used doll hair for the black hairs of the tail, and using a zig-zag stitch, secured them inside the strip. I made the button out of craft foam and secured it to the tail with liquid stitch. I also used liquid stitch to secure the tail to the pants.
