To at least slightly reduce costs, you can replace some of the details of the attire with the child's clothes. The bottom part can serve as tights, leotards or blue leggings. As a top, put on a turtleneck, a tight sweater or a long-sleeved T-shirt in the same scale as the bottom.

As a New Year's suit also suits a suit, you can use sports clothes. Boots of boots should be sewn from felt in the form of overlays or to use golf shoes of red color. The main thing is that Superman's carnival costume is easy and does not hamper the movement of the child, as he will have to dance, play and participate in various children's competitions. The presence of shorts is optional. You can not include them in the outfit. As for the cloak and logo, we will find out how to sew them together.

Cloak

Approximate to the original should be a suit. Superman in comics and cartoons has a long fluttering red raincoat. A certain pattern does not exist, many sew it at their own discretion. You can use the scheme below. The smaller the child, the more economical will be the cutting of the raincoat. Attractively looks a streaming long cloak. For tailoring it is better to take an atlas.

To create a cloak, you need to take measurements from the baby, from the base of the neck and to the knees. Then draw on a piece of paper a semicircle with a radius equal to the desired length of the cloak. From the center, measure a value equal to the half-grip of the neck, and cut out. This will be the collar zone. Pattern apply to the fabric, circle the contour with chalk and cut. It is desirable that the material is integral, and you do not have to make stitches. To avoid this, the semicircle can be reduced by a quarter or even half. The cloak can be sewn to the T-shirt, make an outfit or button up.

Icon

The Superman costume must have a logo on its chest. This distinguishes him from other superheroes. The icon of our character resembles the shape of a diamond. First you need to create a template. On the cardboard, draw a triangular figure with equal sides with one vertex down. Then cut off the upper corners. Inside the mold in the form of a diamond, having deviated from the edges by 1.5 cm, draw a small copy. Inside the figure, draw the English letter S with a wide base. Connect the sign to the frame representing the diamond, erasing the common lines. Cut out the logo and the excess parts between the frame and the letter with a stationery knife. Using this template, you need to create two pieces of fabric.

Sewing an icon

Place the logo on a yellow fabric (fleece or felt) and circle it. Cut out the whole shape - this is the bottom of the logo. Then attach to the blue material a pattern with a letter and draw all the details. Carefully cut the excess. Duplicate both parts. Then, overlap each other, sew. Part of the sign, painted in red, should be on top of the "diamond". Attach the applique to the top detail of the dress in the chest area and sew with a decorative stitch. The Superman costume for the boy now has its own distinctive badge.

Shorts

If desired, you can put on shorts or panties on top of the leotard. Of course, the baby's underwear will not get pulled on his pants. Therefore, they will have to be sewn by yourself. As a pattern, take the baby's shorts, attach to the fabric of red and circle. Increase the size of the model and raise the waist by 12 cm to pass the belt. In order not to have a seam in the crotch, which causes discomfort, mirror the detail vertically.

Cut out the shorts, fold the front and back pieces in the crotch and sew the side cuts. Leave three necessary holes. The upper edge, bend inward by 6 cm and stitch. Then make a few slugs and sew on the waist line. Cut out a belt 5 cm in width from the yellow material. The length should be equal to the waist circumference with a slight increase. Attach a gold buckle to your belt.

Mask

We learned how to make a Superman costume. Many, creating an image of a realistic superhero, also wear a mask. If desired, it can be purchased at the store, but it's best done by yourself. To do this, you will need tight cardboard, fabric and elastic. The workpiece can be printed by increasing the size, or you can draw yourself. Measure from the child the distance from the left temple to the right one. Draw a line on the paper, equal to the measure, divide into 4 equal parts and draw two circles with the compass. On the resulting blank you can simulate any mask. To form well-seated and do not interfere, it is necessary to measure the distance between the eyes and determine the length of the holes. Using the created template, cut out 2 pieces from the red fabric. Sew along the edge of both parts, putting the ends of the elastic between them. Treat the stigma outside with a decorative seam.

The mask can also be made of cardboard. The drawn template should be cut out from a red sheet of thick paper and decorated with various small details. On both sides of the mold, make holes and thread the rubber band. Another original version of the mask - makeup. A special paint, used for the application of aqua-grime, accurately draw an image on the face of the child.
