Supplies for Raichuu

Went shopping at some thrift stores for Raichu today! Supplies from Goodwill would have only cost about $10 if I hadn't splurged on two more dresses for me (red and blue for makeshift flareon or vaporeon cosplays if needed) and some boots for my mom. XD I bought way more than I needed, but at least this way I have somewhat of a backup. I'm planning on starting with the fleece jacket thing, cutting off the sleeves, taking in the sides a bit, cutting off the black neck and zippered part, sewing some of the middle back up so my chest isn't all hanging out all willy nilly. Pictures below!

 

 

(It's really red, not pink. o.O)

Then I went to pat-catans and purchased stiff brown felt for the ears on the hat (which now I'm wondering if I should just make it a headband for simplicity's sake.) I already have yellow fabric left over from pikachu costume to use for the inside of the ear.

Then I got flimsy brown felt from Michael's for the stripes on Raichu's back.

Sadly, I havent had a chance to make it to Jo-Ann's yet. Maybe if I had went there in the first place, I could have found EVERYTHING I needed instead of having to check 5 different places. XD I tried Target for some cheap brown gloves, but they didn't have any! I am so bummed out that these stores don't have the things they used to!

Items still needed to obtain: brown winter boots (somewhere in my closet back at home), cream-colored felt for the belly, brown gloves, orange fleece for the hat (unless I decide to just to a headband, then I'd just need... a headband XD), stuffing (back at my dorm), cord for the tail, and yellow fleece for the lightning bolt on the tail (which I have leftover from pikachu).

Comments or suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated! :3
