And all right, if the costume was only required for the New Year, in many kindergartens all the thematic matinees are held costumed. And on children's birthdays are often asked to bring a child in a suit. So you want - you do not want, and it is necessary for many mothers to take up a needle and scissors and remember what they were taught in school at needlework lessons. But not everything is so complicated, even a novice craftsman can sew a bear costume.
"Quick" Bear Costume
This suit is suitable for a morning performance in the garden andyou can make it in just an hour. There is an outfit of ears, a mitten, a tail and a bow on the neck, like a bear from the cartoon "Masha and the Bear". We need a small patch of satin, brown artificial fur, a thick bezel and a pair of safety pins. We make a bow tie from calico. From fur it is necessary to find out the gloves, ears and the tail of a bear. Then cut off the strip of material, trim it with a bezel, attach the ears on top. Preliminarily, you can compact the ears and tail with a sintepon or cardboard. Butterfly and tail are fastened to the child's clothes with safety pins. The bear's suit is ready!
Carnival costume of a bear
To sew this suit, it will take a littlemore time, about four hours. For him, you need to take 80-100 centimeters of artificial fur, a piece of leatherette, artificial eyes from the needlework store. We measure the volume of the child's head and cut out the bear's beak-muzzle. From the leatherette we make a spout, from the fur - the ears, we sew them on the cap and glue the eyes. We cut out shorts made of artificial fur, a waistcoat and gloves. To shorts sew a fur tail, glue on the gloves triangular claws, cut from leatherette. To paws did not fall off the child, you can insert a rubber band around them.
Suit overall with hood
Sew such a bear costume is somewhat more complicated thanprevious, but the result will be excellent. If you take instead of brown white artificial fur, you get a polar bear costume. Most likely, the child will ask that the outfit be worn not only on holidays, but also for everyday games. The basis of the suit is a coverall. Patterns appropriate to the age and size of the child can be found in needlework magazines or the Internet. And you can lay out on the fur fabric any overalls from the wardrobe of the baby and circle, not forgetting to leave allowances on the seams. Do not worry, fur will hide all the flaws. Sleeves for this suit can not be cut out. In front of the bear's costume should be fastened with a zipper, inner buttons or buttons. On the edge of the pants and sleeves, you need to insert the rubber bands, to sew the ears on the hood, to the assailant.
