Halloween costume is sold out - advice?

[CloudBee]

We finally decided to break down and spend $49 on his costume, and now it's sold out.

Anyone know of an Etsy seller who could do this?

I considered making it myself, but the local fabric store only has lemon yellow and lime green felt by the yard.

We showed him a million costumes and this is the only one he says he wants to be. I even tried putting a robot costume (he loves robots) on him last night and he cried. LOL.

He's tennis obsessed.

Could you make it with fleece fabric instead of felt?

It says "adult costume, child pictured".

I almost bought it the other day and then read the description.

Isn't this lime green?

I feel like I'm color blind when it comes to the color of a tennis ball. LOL.

So lime green is ok?

It's SO weird because it says one size fits most. Damn it.

I would buy this one and then take it in if it is too big.....I mean tennis balls are supposed to be big, so it should not be too difficult.

No, it is chartreuse.

For a 2 yr olds costume, I think we can go with lime green felt. He doesn't have to be a regulation tennis ball.

Ha, I mean I agree with that. I was just saying that color isn't lime green

All of the websites I see if on only have it available in the adult size. He's 2, so even the youth size looks like it will swim on him. I don't think he could walk in the adult size. It would be hard to alter.

It looks like the adult one is foam. Huge.

Get a pillow case, RIT dye it the appropriate green, paint on white striping and stuff. It would be easy to alter a pillow case to be more rounded if necessary.

You could probably even use a trash bag.

Okay, I may order this fleece. I like how fuzzy it appears.

LOL I thought you were being facetious.

Good luck CloudBee! I think it should be doable.

What a weird costume to sell out.

What about baby sizes? Seems you could always cut out head and arm holes bigger and wear his own clothes.
