Those who have children know that sometimes they have to "work" as an entertainer, a doctor, a teacher, and even … a tailor. They said, for example, at school or kindergarten: "We need a fox costume." And everything is here! Panic! Where to get it? Run to the store? In general, the idea is good, the main thing is simple. I went to the store, chose a suitable fox costume - and voila!
Only there are still disadvantages of this way of "dressing up" a child. First, prices. They sometimes go wild for children's carnival costumes! Second, the season. As a rule, the dominance of different costumes for carnival and other holidays begins before the New Year. And if you need a fox costume for a children's play in the middle of summer?
Here a timid thought pecks out - to sew … And do not be afraid, it is not so difficult. In the end, the costumes of fairy-tale characters for children are not made for a tailoring competition, but for "entering the image." Simply put, a couple of bright details are enough to make it clear who the child is wearing, and the authenticity of the image is not so important. So, sew a fox costume!
Of course, you will need an orange cloth. Alreadyonly by color it will be possible to guess who the child is dressed up as.
If there are fiery-colored clothes in the children's wardrobe - great! Less work for you, and the baby will be more comfortable in his outfits.
A fox costume, in fact, apart from color, is determined by several details. This is a fluffy tail, triangular ears and a fox mask or makeup on the face. It is best to use faux fur. Cut out two ovals from it, pointed at one end, sew, twist, stuff with any filler: cotton wool, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer … No fur - you can sew a tail and ears from orange fabric, and paint the tip with white. Although the effect is not the same, a fox is a fox to flaunt a fluffy tail!
If there is no orange clothes, you will have to sew the outfit from scratch. Two rectangles sewn together on the sides are a skirt. It remains to hem the top and bottom, insert the elastic into the belt.
Take another piece of fabric, fold it in half, stitch it on the sides, leaving holes for the hands, and then cut a hole for the head. You can decorate the sleeves, bottom and neck of the "blouse" with faux fur in the same way as the bottom of the skirt.
If a boy has to wear a fox costume, the actions are the same, only shorts will have to be sewn instead of a skirt. To do this, cut the square blanks, as for a skirt, approximately to the middle from the bottom in the center. After that, this incision is stitched, the bottom is hemmed, an elastic band is sewn into the belt.
Now - the top, he is also the muzzle of the fox. You can again take the path of leastresistance, buy a fox mask in the store. But not every child will agree to wear it yet - not the most comfortable thing. Therefore, we again take out the fabric and pick up the needle.
Cut out a rim from cardboard equal to the circumference of the child's head, cover it with an orange cloth, cut out triangular ears from the fur, sew the parts together. You can stuff the ears a little with cotton, you can put a triangle of cardboard inside for hardness. After that, sew the ears to the rim. The main thing is that they do not come out too heavy, otherwise the rim will slide over the eyes all the time, spoiling the child's pleasure from the holiday.
As you can see, making a fox costume for a children's party is not difficult at all, it would be a desire and a little imagination.
