My toddler loves Elmo. He has an Elmo pajama shirt that he insists on wearing to bed every night. He would probably wear it during the day too if I let him. So, I followed the tutorial on
MADE for making an Ernie shirt, but made an Elmo shirt instead. It was super easy to follow and turned out really cute. I downloaded a free Elmo color page from an internet search, and made the head portion larger to fit the shirt. Then I used t-shirt scraps to make Elmo.
I cut out the red head shape and made the edges jagged with my scissors to give Elmo more of a furry look.
This is based on another great MADE tutorial. This tutorial tells how to turn a large sweater into a toddler sweater vest. So, I cut out the sweater based on another shirt that fits my toddler. Then I finished the neck and arm edges with ribbing. I think it turned out well and it is honestly the best job I have ever done on finishing a v-neck without a pattern.
