To learn how to this Big Foot Costume, watch the full episode with Rob and Corrine.
You will need a 2 recycled fur coats (fake or vintage).
On the center back line, cut the coat five inches from wherever your crotch line is.
Then cut a slit on the center back neck line, so the neck does not not choke you.
Make
two leg tubes lining up one side of the crotch slit with the one side
of the coat opening right sides together. Sew a seam up to where the
slit starts.
When sewing, set straight stitch to the longest length, use a leather needle and upholstery thread will work best.
Sew both legs tubes.
WIth the other fur coat, rip out the lining.
Tear
the fur into two long wide strips and many other short pieces. It may
be best to use an utility knife to cut the fur on the back side.
With these cut pieces, attach to the legs of your costume with the longest pieces in front.
With the left over piece of fur, create a contrasting chest piece.
Make
sure when you piece the fur together that the nap of the fur is hanging
towards the floor. When sewing fur, remember to sew with the direction
of the nap.
For
any hard to reach spots, feel free to sew by hand with a leather
needle, and very strong thread. When finished sewing, use a comb to
comb fur away from the stitch line.
Make
about 5 to 6 holes about 3 inches apart down the back of both sides of
the back of the coat . Stop where the leg tube starts.
Take a long rope-like tie, attach a safety pin to each end and lace up the back like a corset.
