Before parents of small children often risesthe question of sewing a carnival costume for some holidays, events, performances. Take an attire at the box office is expensive and do not want a child to put it on after someone else's. After all, you do not know for sure how these costumes are actually processed after each donning. Most likely, in any way. Especially when the season of New Year's holidays and there is a record for the costumes. One surrenders, the other takes an hour. It's better to try and sew a suit yourself. Then your child will be safe, and it is not necessary after the holiday to flee to hire to return the outfit on time.

In this article I will tell you about twodifferent ways of sewing Kolobok's costume. The photo shows how these clothes look ready, a step-by-step description of the tailoring is presented, and what materials for this need to be available.

Costume Kolobok with your own hands

Such a costume has an element with an imagefairy-tale character. The rest of the outfit can be matched from the ready-made items in the wardrobe, or you can sew a cape and hat to complement the Kolobok image. To sew a suit like this, you need to prepare a yellow fabric (it's more convenient to use cotton: it's easier to work with), orange fleece, threads, needles, thin sheet of foam rubber, scissors, a sheet of Whatman paper, a pencil.

First you need to measure the distance from the bottomneck to the navel. This will be the diameter of the circle. You do not need to do any more, since the child will be uncomfortable to move or sit in such a dress. We transfer the dimensions to the sheet of Whatman and draw a circle. Then we transfer this pattern to the matter folded in half to cut out at once two identical parts, and we cut out the foam wheel on the template.

The next step is to fold cookedblanks with the wrong side outward and stitched or stitched by hands in a circle, leaving a small hole for the subsequent insertion inside the foam rubber. Turn it to the front side, iron it with an iron and insert the foam rubber, gently spreading it all over the interior space. Then the remaining hole is sewn with the inner seam so that it can not be seen.

Costume decoration

After the preparation of the base, onlymake a mouth, eyes, ruddy cheeks and a tuft, and a Kolobok suit, sewn by hand, ready. Some advise to make small handles on both sides. But this is optional. Eyes can be made using two oval buttons. For ruddy cheeks, cut out two small circles of fleece. They can be glued, but it's safer to sew. The mouth can be made with the help of a gypsy needle and knitting threads, sewing a decorative seam along the drawn contour. Chub fairy hero can be made from fleece, cut into strips, as in the photo.

Strengthen the resulting circle, either with the help of ribbons on his back, like a backpack, or sewing it on a waistcoat or a child's shirt.

Kolobok Costume: the second option

Another variant of sewing such a dress for the holidayconsists of two similar circles. The principle of sewing is the same, only you can use a thin sintepon instead of foam rubber. The pattern is also slightly different. If in the past method was just a circle, now on the front and back you need to cut the armholes under the sleeves and the neck. Sleeves can not be sewn, as this requires skills and the availability of a sewing machine. You can simply put on a Gingerbread Vest over a yellow shirt or golf under the throat.

The back of the circle, which will be on the rearside, can not be sintepone. So the child will not be hot on the matinee. It is enough if there is a large front. From the bottom we leave part of the circle without a seam so that it can be put on the child's head. Pants can be any color: black, blue, yellow, brown.

So, making a Kolobok costume for yourselfcompleted! It's not difficult, and in one evening you can create an outfit that will be remembered by the child for a long time. Yes, and a photo about the memory of such an interesting role will be reminded of the efforts of the mother for her baby.
