/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I made a thread and then realized this was a halloween question, I guess. H-here I go.

I want to be an owl for Halloween. I adore owls but I usually neglect Halloween, although I think this is my year.

My basic plans were to get some sort of brownish hoodie/sweater and add on wings to the sleeves, and maybe a tail to the lower end of the back. Essentially, I want to make an owl hoodie that could still be functional outside of being an owl. Then I would like to make a mask similar to the drawing I did, picture related.

Now, is this even worth trying for someone with no sewing/crafting experience? What would be the best way to go about doing this?
