Before the New Year holidays, it's time to think about what costume to dress your child in for a special occasion at school or kindergarten. It’s quite easy to determine the image for the girl, you just need to buy a beautiful dress and several jewelry to turn her into a beautiful princess. But dressing the boy so that the child looked unforgettable, is much more difficult.
As for carnival costumes, dressing children in bunnies or teddy bears is no longer fashionable and the boys themselves are not interested. But to create a suit for him Robin Hood (a noble robber) - a good idea.
What are the details of the costume
Before you look for clothes that will go to a fancy dress, you need to figure out what parts are generally needed.
So Robin Hood wore:
- pants;
- top
- bag (in the form of a shoulder bag);
- cloak;
- a hat;
- boots.
With some details of the costume will have to work.
What can you make top
Such a detail of a Robin Hood costume, in fact, is not complicated. You can use an old t-shirt, preferably brown. Both sleeves and the very bottom are simply cut off from it.
To make the outfit more consistent with that era, it is recommended to make holes in the gate area, draw a satin ribbon in them, which should be matched to the top color, and use it as a lacing.
The second option involves processing on a typewriter, with which you can create an imitation of ties.
How to choose pants
Here, everything is quite simple - the necessary element can be found in the wardrobe of the child. The main thing is that the pants are brown. Both simple trousers and breeches will suit Robin Hood's suit. But if there is nothing suitable, then you have to do sewing.
It is necessary to take a pattern, print it, and, increasing the elements, transfer to graph paper. It is important not to forget that the details must be appropriate for the child. Then take the appropriate material, place patterns on it and, adding 1 cm allowances, circle them and then cut them. Further, the elements are folded so that the front side is inside.
The next step is the stitching of step seams and the processing of the edges.
The belt area is hemmed so that folds are obtained.
It remains to do the insertion of gum and stitching its ends.
At the very last stage, the pants are processed on the bottom.
How to make a cloak
Robin Hood can not do without such an important piece of clothing. Again, you will need a pattern that is transferred first to the paper and then to the fabric. It breaks out, as already described above, along with centimeter allowances. They are swept away from both sides, then down and then sewn on a typewriter.
For decoration you need a slanting trim. It must be folded in half lengthwise and ironed. The neck is located between the two halves of the inlay, then the latter is swept and sewn. It is completely optional to cut off both ends of the inlay, they can fulfill the function of ties at the cloak, so one more detail for the Robin Hood costume for the boy is ready.
What should be the bag
A shoulder bag, which plays an important role as a part of a suit, is made quite simple. It will take coarse fabric from which a circle is cut. Then you need to pull the rubber band into it and pull it in such a way that, if necessary, the bag can be opened and any necessary and useful trifle can be taken out of it.
The last stage of work is attaching a long lace so that the bag can be worn on the shoulder.
Hat for costume
You need to find a hat pattern, and if there is a need to make it larger or smaller. At the same time, do not forget about seam allowances. It is best to take a green fabric and cut out paired parts, which will then need to be sewn.
To complete the work on the hat, you need to unscrew the fields, and, using a brown cloth, sheathe them. If there are decorative feathers, then they can decorate a hat.
So, the do-it-yourself Robin Hood costume is ready.
