Snowman's costume with his own hands

We will sew this carnival costume for a snowman:

It seems that it is difficult to make such a snowman costume with your own hands, in fact it is very easy to get rid of:

It is better to prepare a snowman's costume for a child from fleece: firstly, this fabric is very light, warm enough, looks very beautiful, and secondly, it is very convenient to work with.

For the costume we need: white fleece, black fleece for buttons and hats, foam rubber, red and green fleece for scarf, white floss, white and black threads.

1. On the given pattern it is necessary to prepare details of a suit from a white fleece. For now, we cook only the overalls, without a hat.

On the necessary dimensions we cut out the parts and cut them out taking into account the allowance at the seams:

2. Now you need to sweep away all the stitches. First join the side seams, then - the inner, step. It is better to throw not a white, but a contrasting thread, so that later you can easily remove it after processing the line with a typewriter.

3. Now we spend the side and step seams:

4. We also process shoulder seams. Overlocked internal seams can not be processed, since fleece does not crumble at the places of the cut tissue.

5. Now we need to sew a zipper in the suit. To lightning was not visible from the front side, it is detached with an indent from the edge of the fabric at the width of the foot:

6. As a result, we should get such a nice overall:

7. It remains to sew up his sleeves.

We sew the seams of the sleeves on the typewriter. Then we unscrew the sleeve and from the underside of the overall we just insert it into the armhole. It remains only to sweep the sleeve so that it does not move out during the processing on the typewriter:

8. Now we process the bottom of the sleeves and trousers. We need to put the sleeves and trousers on the elastic. For this, we prepare the kuliska by wrapping a piece of fabric from below:

9. Using a pin, insert the elastic band into the kuliska.

10. So the sleeves are ready:

11. We process the neck. For this we need a slanting bake. It can be cut from the same fleece. The length of the beak is equal to the length of the head circumference, width - 6-7 cm, angle of inclination - 45 degrees.

Here's what should happen in the end:

12. Prikalyvayem beiku to the neck face to face and tucked indented on the width of the paw sewing machine:

13. Now, from the face, bend the jam on the wrong side so that the side-by-side line is located below the line from the outside, and sweep:

14. It remains only to stitch the bake on the machine, and the neck is ready.

15. This is how the ready-made overall from the snowman costume looks like:

16. We decorate the costume with buttons. For the buttons we cut out 4 large details of fleece and 2 pieces of smaller foam.

17. Details made of foam rubber are the filling of buttons. Foam is placed between two black preforms and stitched "over the edge into a loop":

18. Two nice volume buttons are obtained:

19. It remains only to sew them to overalls. You can decorate overalls with stars or snowflakes. We stopped at the bright gold stars:

20. We prepare the hat. First of all we cut out the fields of the hat.

For this we need to measure the circumference of the child's head. The head circumference is the value L. The formula r = L / 2π allows to calculate the inner radius of the hat, and the outer radius is calculated by the formula R = r + 7 (this is the width of the fields) in cm.

We calculate both indicators and on their basis we build a pattern: from one center we notice the radius of the inner and outer circle:

21. For the cylinder of the hat, we cut out a rectangle. The length of the cylinder is equal to the length of the circumference of the child's head, the height is arbitrary (we took 15 cm).

22. We cut out all details from foam rubber, without any increase:

23. Details of fleece will need two for each piece of foam rubber, as foam rubber serves as a filling for the hat, the same as in the buttons. And for details of fleece, we make small indentations, about 1 cm from each side:

24. Now we trim each part in the same way as we sew a button.

25. The finished parts are sewn with a hidden seam. The hat is ready:

26. It remains only to sew a scarf from the stripes of fleece in different colors:

27. So our snowman costume for a children's holiday is ready:

If there is a desire to make such a suit warm, so that the child can run in it on the street, you can make a snowman costume from a sintepon for the same pattern.
