DIY baby mermaid costume

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

The mermaid baby gown pattern was originally designed just as an everyday clothing item, it never really dawned on me that it could also be a costume!  But with one sister as a big mermaid, one sister as a shark, (and a brother as a vampire – irrelevant ;) )  it only make sense to use the Baby Gown pattern to make a DIY baby mermaid costume! I used the perfect mermaid scale fabric for this – it’s super soft brushed poly. I also made a coordinating headband to go with it. It’s a nice, soft, comfortable “costume” that I’ll definitely use after Halloween – or at least as long as the gown fits! I love sewing these gowns, they are mega cute but also pretty simple! I’d say the pattern is ideal for an intermediate sewer or a beginner that is ready to dive in!

If you’re looking for a mermaid costume for a larger child, check out my tutorial here!

I didn’t make any modifications to the pattern, just sewed it up as is! The knot headband was really simple, too! I’ll write a tutorial for that soon!

Here’s a little mermaid overload!

I originally made the mermaid gown for my last baby girl, here are some throwback pictures! They have their own little looks but they are definitely sisters!
