Image Details

Perhaps, it is necessary to begin with the basic - sketch of a suit. You should think about all the details, from boots to the legs and ending with a scallop.

Materials for the costume

New Year's costumes for children must necessarily be colorful, especially if it's so colorful as a cock. Here you should use bright saturated colors: red, orange, green, blue, yellow, lilac. For contrast, you can add a black color, but just a little, so that the outfit does not turn out to be gloomy.

This outfit can be quite budgetary, since the best solution for it regarding the fabric is nylon. Here, the assortment of colors is as it should, and the price is one of the lowest, and in work it is quite "complaisant", and in combination with the tailoring accessories will keep the desired shape.

It is unique, for a cap it is necessary to take supplex. It perfectly stretches and is better than other fabrics suitable for this purpose.

It will also take about 2 cm of sintepon for tail feathers, about 4 meters of plastic corset bone, tape for the belt (best keeper with a width of at least 5 cm), a 5 cm wide and 7-8 cm length of adhesive tape, .

If the cock costume is planned to be made not on the basis of an ordinary shirt and trousers, then a cut of the supplex or satin for the overalls is required. Color in this case, you can choose white or yellow, or take the tone to one of the colored feathers in the tail.

Variants of costumes

New Year costumes for children are more convenient to make from one accessory. This will not disguise the child completely, but just add a few details to the standard trousers and shirt - and the image is ready. In this case it can be a hat with a comb, a beak and eyes, a cape with a string in the form of a beard, wings on elastic bands, a tail on the belt and fabric boots with spurs.

However, the cock costume for a boy can consist of a full-fledged overalls, fastened in front by a zipper with a tail sewn, wings and a beard and properly decorated with a hood.

Here one should proceed from the budget allocated to the image and, of course, expediency. After all, in the first and second case, the costume is quite spectacular and outrageous.

Creating a tail

The tail of a rooster is his pride. Therefore, it is necessary to work hard to create it. This is especially true of form. It should not be hanging. First of all, make templates for feathers. No, these are not small details at all, they are rather long elements in the form of hooks of different sizes. In total, 4 different sizes are needed, each such pen must be made in two or three colors. The details should be cut from the fabric, duplicated with sintepon, and a corset bone from end to end fixed along the outer edge of the curved hook.

In total there should be 12 feathers, one size each color chosen for the outfit. A beautiful combination will come out when using yellow, blue, green and red.

Further, all these elements need to be laid out with the tail with the direction of the hooks in one direction and stitched in this order to the keeper's tape or sewed into the middle back seam of the overalls.

Creating a Cap

A cap with a beautiful comb and beak will, in its original form, complement the costume of the cock. The pattern of this detail of the image is based on the measurement of the circumference of the head and is essentially a semicircle with a sharpened edge at one seam (especially for the face) and sewn into the seam of the joints of the combs with a scallop duplicated by the synthepon.

Beak and eyes can be made from felt and glued with hot glue or sewed by hand. Slits of the beak of the supplex can not be processed, this fabric will already look neat enough.

Instead of a cap, you can make the most common mask of felt.

Creation of wings and pelerine

What cock costume without wings? And how to wave your hands and prokokarekat? This detail of the image is sewn even easier than the hat. For it it is necessary to cut out circles of different size from 4 basic colors of the fabric, making them on the contour in fine waves. Then, in order of decreasing, place all wing elements on top of each other and lay a line in the middle. From one side, the elastic band should be sewn to the size of the child's wrist, and on the other, a piece of tape equal to the width of the back. The second wing is done similarly. After the tape is fastened to the cape. This detail of the costume is also covered in the form of a circle with waves along the perimeter. The detail is cut to the center, make a cutout for the neck and along the edge sew a red ribbon from the same nylon. In the center, from the back, a ribbon of wings is caught. Thus, an integral part with a beard and wings comes out.

How to sew a suit for the base of a suit?

Children's rooster costume can be made in the form of overalls. To create a pattern, you can go the simplest way. Take the panties and T-shirt baby, fold in half and transfer to paper all the main seams of the product for the front and back halves of the thing. At the same time it is necessary to combine panties and a T-shirt on the waist line.

Next, the template needs to be enlarged in width so that the product does not hamper the movements and is free to sit on the figure. When cutting, you should get two shelves for the transfer and two halves of the back with whole-knitted panties. The front seam should be stitched and processed, but in the incision on the back, you need to sew a zipper and a tail.

The overalls are best done in the same color as the cap. But also a good option with a hood. For him, you need to measure the child's head: the volume and length from the forehead to the nape through the crown. Next, on a sheet of paper, draw a rectangle with sides that make up ½ measure of head volume and ½ yard of length. On the right side at the top you need to gently round the corner, this will be the crown. To the back of the neck (bottom left corner), the line should be moved to the inside of the drawing by 3 cm. The right side of the rectangle should be extended 3 cm down and connect the sewing section with the curved line.

Perhaps, it will be necessary to correct the neck of the overalls a little, so that it coincides with the cross-section of the hood. It should be noted that in this version, the zipper needs to be sewn into the cut of the front halves, and only the tail should be attached to the middle seam of the back. However, this is not necessary, because if the accessory is on the belt, it will be more securely fixed in the correct position.

Pathos above all: boots with spurs

How to sew a cock costume spectacular, so that it stands out from the background of the remaining images? Naturally, supplement it with details. Boots with spurs and claws or crochet-shaped shoes are the best option! This element of the image will not remain exactly outside the field of view of admiring others. It can be performed in the form of golfers at the top on an elastic band and without a foot. For spurs and nails it will be necessary to sew small and narrow caps from felt or satin fabric, fill them with sintepon and insert them into the back seam of the golfs and three - in the center in front of the foot. Ideally, these claws should cover the child's shoes.

Such a rooster cost will not be left without attention. Colorful wings, a beautiful beard in the form of a bow from a tie wrapped around his neck, a scallop of bright red color and, of course, red paws with yellow claws - this is ideal for a spectacular appearance of a baby on New Year's matinee or in a production. A little imagination, effort, minimum costs - and the suit is ready!
