Learn how to make a fun turtle shell costume for your child! This should fit a child approximately 3 or 4 to 10 years old.

This tutorial was written to accompany a video sew-a-long. The video is now available to watch here on Youtube.

Unlike my other sewing patterns, this tutorial is untested by anyone but me, so there may be errors.

To “buy” the free pattern, you still need to check out, but you don’t need to put in any payment information.

This pattern comes as a zipped file with two files, one with the instructions and pattern pieces, and one as a projector file.
