How to sew a pumpkin costume?

All the details of the pattern are outlined on fleece, cut out and spent. We smooth the seams through gauze or fabric. From black cloth, we cut out the "face" of a pumpkin - eyes, nose and mouth. We glue them to the suit with the help of iron and glue fleece. If you can not find it, you can use the most common polyethylene (food film). We put an oilcloth between a coveralls and details of "face", press down a hot iron through a gauze or a rag.

The result is a very nice muzzle. If you doubt that it will not unlock, you can flush all the details around the edges with a black thread. And for the pumpkin to turn out really plump and round, you need to add a backing layer, which is filled with sintepuhom. The bottom of the suit is sewn in such a way that you can put on the elastic band. We put it in, picking it up a little. As a result, the overall becomes so round and so similar to the pumpkin.
