Christmas costumes for a children's party can be sewn by yourself. Of course, for this you will need some free time, bright colors that can be remade, or small pieces of new fabric, accessories, a sewing machine and, of course, at least some cutting and sewing skills.

The process of creating a costume will not take you much time, and it will be very interesting and useful for the baby to watch your creative work and help in performing simple operations. A carnival outfit designed by you and sewn by yourself will be unique and more interesting than a store-bought outfit (several kids from your group or your class will probably come in these).

Since you are going to sew by yourself, you should not choose something very difficult: problems may arise during the work. In addition, the costume should be interesting and comfortable for the child.

Let's, for example, look at how to sew a gnome costume - a popular fairy tale character that a child probably knows about from books read to him.

What does a gnome look like, of course youremember. First of all, think about what parts of the costume can be borrowed from the child's wardrobe in finished form.

When making a gnome costume with your own hands, you can use the existing bright shirt, plain or with a cheerful pattern. It will be good if you trim the edges of the collar and cuffs with gathered lace.

To make a gnome costume, you will have to find a short vest, preferably bright, or sew it yourself. Its pattern is extremely simple, the fabric for such a product will need very little. Treat the edges of the product with a contrasting trim or braid. To decorate the vest, use appliqué, bright buttons, patch pockets.

To make a beautiful gnome costume you will need breeches below the knee. They are also easy to make yourself. Perhaps something suitable will be found in the wardrobe of the child. As a last resort, shorten the cute-colored trousers, from which the child simply grew out. Gather the bottom of the breeches and also sheathe with lace. The basis for the New Year's outfit is ready.

Now add some details to help create a recognizable gnome costume. Photos can be seen in your favorite children's book. You will notice that a mandatory attribute of the outfit is a cap. Cut it out from the back and front of your sweater, which still looks good but is too small for you (or from a new fabric). Turn the sleeves from the same sweater into leggings. Decorate the shoes that the child will wear with shiny bows.

And a real gnomethere must be a white beard, one can be found in a children's toy store. It is inexpensive, and later it can be used to create other carnival outfits. You can make a beard on a gnome costume yourself. You just need to find a strip of white faux fur, about 10 cm wide. First measure the required length, then attach the resulting beard to the cap.

Now the costume is complete. From the remnants of fabric in different colors, sew a bag or backpack for your child. As you can see, it will take quite a bit of time and your ability to show creativity and imagination to create a carnival outfit.
