For sure! All things considered, the pattern for the helmet is pretty easy as far as sewing goes and even if you need to give it a few tries it'll probably still save you the headache of crafting your own helmet from EVA. Plus, I can tell you my helmet is totally indestructible just in case you ever need to pack it for a far away con. But anyways! Here's the links to the helmet cover: https://www.etsy.com/listing/280180054/pdf-helmet-covers-pattern (I'm pretty sure I found a free version of this years ago but after doing some digging it seems long gone)

I think the shipping has been bumped up on this a lot since I bought it so I'd dig around a little bit to find a better priced one.
This may be obvious but make sure you're using a 4 way stretch for the helmet cover or you will want to die.
Also, for his shirt stripes, I painted them on using frog tape and jacquard lumiere so I could match the gold to the letters on my helmet. Went thru the wash pretty well but cracked a little bit since I used it on stretch lycra. Not sure this is a reccomendation but I figured I'd let you know how I tackled that since I'm aware it's a real pain!
Pic related is how both turned out. Apologies for the shit ass quality, I'm away from home rn so I'm trying to Frankenstein all this together with what I've got on my phone. Hope this helps!
