Luchador Mask pattern

Some of you have asked for the pattern for Shelby's Luchador costume.

I made it myself, so it's fitted to Shelby's head, but if you've got a pug, boston terrier, or other flat nosed dog with a small-ish head, it's worth a try.

I didn't include the seam allowance, so you'd need to add that yourself.

It's worthwhile sewing a practice mask to test the placement of the eye holes.

As for the cape, it's just a rectangle with a half circle cut out for the neck. I didn't use a pattern. I bought the iron on letters from the sewing store, but I'm sure they're available at craft stores as well.

If you do use this pattern, please email me a picture of your dog! shelby at gopugyourself dot com. I'd love to see an army of little poochadors.

UPDATE Forgot to include the photo!

Too cute. I can't believe you found the time to make such a darling outfit for Shelby.

Hi Katherine,

I don't have the pants pattern anymore, and as I recall, they were kinda shoddy anyway. Shelby all but destroyed the felt boots just by walking around. (not my best work, for sure).

OMG! this is soooo cute.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello Winnie,

I have a 1 yr old puggle named Enzo and he is going to be luchador for Halloween. May I ask you what type of material did you use and
what did you write on the back of Shelby's cape? This costume is adorable, I love it!
Thank you,
Susan
