I will get round to making a Kigurumi one of these days I swear... ^_^

The Simplicity 3639 pattern could be modified to create a Kigurumi (it's a penguin costume ). Substituting the wings for sleeves, altering the hood etc. should do it.

These links may be helpful too:

If you've got a bit of sewing experience, it may be worth trying to work out a pattern yourself. I can't see it being too difficult! Good luck!

Actually I just got my Pikachu kigurumi. I bought it cheap from EuroGAL. If you really want to make one, I don't know if you've checked the LJ community. If not it's http://community.livejournal.com/kigurumin/profile. Some people have made their own..
