Stage One: Model Selection
We adults can only admire how the girls remember the names of each heroine of a favorite cartoon. Each of the babies has a favorite, about which they know absolutely everything and try to imitate her during the game. Therefore, it is best to consider Monster High costumes with your child, because you cannot find the best adviser in the development of the model.
The costume may consist of short shorts, leggings or skirts and a blouse or tunic. At first glance, it might seem that stitching these things together is difficult, but this is an erroneous opinion.
Stage Two: Fabric Selection
The fabric should be selected based on the selected model. The Monster High suit for girls should be colorful and perky. Therefore, shiny sequins, tulle and velor are suitable for a skirt. Shorts can be sewn from knitwear with lurex or velvet. For a blouse, you can also take the listed fabrics. The main thing is that the fabric should be either knitted or with good extensibility. It is easier to work with such fabric, and the child will be more comfortable in it. In addition, minor defects that are possible with a cut will not be noticeable, as if it were a dress canvas. By the way, this type of fabric is also suitable for a skirt with an elastic band , especially if it is organza or brocade.
In order not to make a mistake with the color, you can view the outfits of the dolls and copy the combination of colors. However, this is not necessary at all, because Monster High costumes will look chic anyway. Here, leopard colors and canvases with Chinese motifs in any colors, as well as black, purple, red, pink, white, blue and green colors will be appropriate.
Stage Three: Cut Fabric
In order to sew a Monster High suit for girls, you should take a child’s t-shirt and panties, turn them inside out. Next, on the fabric in one layer, you should decompose things and circle around the contour, marking all the main seams. After this, the part is cut with allowances for seams. The same is done for the manufacture of the front and rear shelves of sweaters, for sleeves, for the front and rear halves of pants.
Monster high suits are made with skirts like "sun" and simply assembled with elastic. A tutu skirt will also look good, which is made from elastic band according to the waist of the child and strips of tulle imposed on it. Here you can experiment a little with color, combining black with pink or red so fashionable for these heroines. Or make the skirt plain.
For a sun skirt, you will need to cut a circle of fabric with a diameter equal to the length of the product + 5 cm. In the middle of the circle you should make a hole slightly larger along the perimeter than the circumference of the hips. You will also need a strip of fabric to design the belt.
The simplest version of the skirt is a fabric, assembled on an elastic band. The pattern is a strip of fabric.
Stage Four: Sewing Process
You can sew a Monster High costume for a girl manually or on a typewriter. Here you can do without processing parts on an overlock or zigzag. Loose fabrics can instead be scorched over a candle.
The process of sewing a blouse begins with shoulder seams. After grind the sleeves and process the neck. Next, close the side seams.
Panties are collected from the middle seams of the front and rear parts. Next, close the so-called bow and then process the side sections. On top sew a gum.
With a skirt work even less. If this is a simple model from a strip of fabric, then it is closed with one seam and tucked on top, making a drawstring for the elastic. The bottom of the product can not be processed.
There is also nothing complicated in the sun skirt: a strip of fabric for a belt is sewn together, closing in a circle. After folding in half and attach to the top of the skirt around the perimeter of the neckline. Next, it remains to pull the elastic into the girdle, and the skirt is ready.
