Superheroes today have become real idols for boys. And every child wants to try on the image of his beloved character. Why not please your child and sew a Spider-Man costume with your own hands? Moreover, making templates for the outfit is quite simple, as well as giving the costume the necessary look.
Materials and Tools
Before starting work, you should determine what it will take in order to create a Spider-Man costume with your own hands. First of all, this is fabric. Knitwear is best suited for this purpose. New Year's outfit can be made from a beautiful and brilliant supplex. And if the costume will be used as pajamas, you should choose the most natural fabric: a cooler, interlock or footer.
Also for sewing, you need threads matching the material, acrylic paint for textiles for decoration, a thin brush for drawing and a sewing machine.
Image Details
Particular attention should be paid to the color scheme of the costume and design, so that the image is recognizable. It uses a combination of red and blue on the jacket and pants, and all the decoration patterns are applied in black paint.
How to make Spider-Man costume as close as possible to the original? To do this, you need to correctly distribute the colors: the pants should be blue, sewn from the knee with red material. The jacket must be made with a hood that will be good to find on the face, and in the appropriate places you will need to make holes for the eyes. The distribution of colors is as follows: hood, shoulders, strip on the chest, back and sleeves are red, and the sides and the parts of the sleeves adjacent to the body are blue. In the center on the chest should be a superhero icon in the form of a spider, and for all red details it is necessary to put a picture in the form of a web.
Cut fabric
To properly cut out the details, you need a pattern of the suit. Spider-Man is an outfit that consists of a T-shirt and pants, which means that in order to easily and quickly make patterns of these things, you need to take sportswear and a child’s T-shirt. Next, things are turned inside out, laid out on paper and carefully circled them along the contour, indicating on the drawing all the available seams. In order to correctly retake the template from the trousers, they must be turned out and one leg tucked into another, and then alternately circle around the front and back of the trouser leg.
To determine the boundaries of the combination of different colors of paintings, on the finished templates make the appropriate labels, which cut the parts into elements.
Assembly and processing of the product
In what sequence to collect cut elements to sew a Spider-Man costume with your own hands? First you need to put together the details of the cut together. That is, to make whole sleeves, back, shelf and parts of the legs. After grinding, the details are treated with an overlock or zigzag. After proceeding to the assembly of products:
- grind shoulder seams;
- collect and attach a hood to the neck;
- stitch sleeves to armholes;
- close the side seams;
- stitch the front and rear halves of the legs at the middle seams;
- grind internal and external seams;
- process cuffs, bottom of legs and sweaters;
- on top of the legs make a twist, build it off and put on an elastic band.
Drawing a decorative pattern
To make a quality Spider-Man costume with your own hands, it is best to use acrylic paint for textiles in your work. It impregnates fibers well, is firmly fixed, withstands a huge number of washings and is not taken by the crust, which cracks when stretched, distorting the pattern.
At the same time, the texture of the paint should not be too liquid, otherwise it will leave wide stripes, spreading out over the fibers of the fabric. Therefore, you need to carefully dilute it with water. You should also use the thinnest brush. First, rays are drawn for the web, and then - curved jumpers. This allows you to evenly and symmetrically distribute the pattern. So that the paint does not penetrate other parts of the fabric, a cardboard sheet is placed under the canvas.
