This cozy costume is made using soft fleece fabric. Fleece is easy to sew, doesn't fray, and requires minimal hemming.

Instructions are included to make it into a tunic length without the snap flaps.

The Baby Bumblebee body is constructed using a onesie style pattern piece with the stripes appliqued on before sewing the side seams - the black and yellow stripes are NOT pieced together. The wings are made using two layers of fabric fused together with pipe cleaners hot glued around the edges. The stinger and wings are hand stitched in place. There is a button closure in the back of the neck and a set of snaps at the bottom.
