New Year's party in kindergarten can not do without children's costumes. Pig costume is simple to manufacture. We will consider all stages of work on it in our material.
Decide on the pattern
Shirt, pants, hat - these are the three main parts of the future outfit. Patterns of these details and we need first of all. The costume of the pig differs in quite curvaceous forms, which means that it will be more successful to take patterns one size larger.
The sleeve pattern is modeled on the model of a flashlight. It is better if the shirt is fastened on the back. Sleeves, a shirt and pants in the lower part must be assembled with elastic.
Cut and assemble
The most acceptable fabric for sewing is a flannel. It is distinguished by a suitable texture and reasonable price. Another option is knitwear with a fleecy surface. We outline the details, not forgetting to leave allowances. You can get to work with panties. First you need to grind stepping seams. As a result, we get a couple of “pipes”. We turn one of them with the front side, then the other side with the wrong side. After we put the first part into the second (while making sure that the upper sections are aligned). It remains to sweep and sew. Having bent the trouser-legs in the upper part two times, we hem and insert the elastic bands. Be sure to overcast the seams. A crocheted tail is an indispensable attribute that distinguishes our outfit. This part is a fabric tube in which a wire is inserted.
We sew a shirt
We understand how to make a piggy costume . And the next stage of our work is sewing a shirt. Tucks are optional for her. Acceptable if the length of the product is slightly lower than the waist. The shirt is going in the usual way:
- Joints are connected: lateral and shoulder.
- The sleeve is sewn and wound.
- After checking the landing, it is tucked into the armhole.
- We process the neck.
- The lower part of the product, as well as the sleeves, are hemmed, an elastic band hangs.
We sew a hat
We keep tinkering do-it-yourself pig costume, photo of which is given below. The next step is next - sewing hats. In this case, a cap pattern is well suited, which consists of two parts: the bottom and sidewalls. Great if there is a ready-made pattern. It will only need to be increased. The length of the strip for the sidewall should be sufficient to slightly pick it up. We sew the details and hem the sidewall. It can be sheathed. To do this, you need thin lace.
Pig costume almost ready. It remains to add only the ears. We cut out four triangles for them (they should be the same in size). We put them in pairs. Make sure that the parts are adjacent to each other with the wrong sides. The sides by which the ears will be sewn to the headgear must be left open. Insert the pieces of cardboard inside (also some flat thin elastic foam will do). Having bent open edges inwards, we will notice ears to a hat. Now let's take a break and try on what happened. Ears should not fall or fall. If the result is quite satisfactory, then it's time to sew the ears. You can also starch the hat without any cardboard inserts in your ears.
When we make a pig’s costume for children, it’s important to remember that the pig is an indispensable part of the character. The easiest way is to draw it on your face with the help of face painting.
So, we have figured out how to make a piggy costume . It will look original at any children's holiday. If the parents are completely limited in time, then the solution for them will be to buy pink trousers and t-shirts in the store. You can also make a mask. For this, either paper or a disposable plate is suitable. By the way, if desired, the outfit can be varied with gloves and shoe covers.
