Often there is a problem related to the choice of a costume for a carnival in which a child will be. It is especially difficult to find a costume for a boy, since in the case of girls it is obvious - Little Red Riding Hood, snowflake, Cinderella, etc.

One of the options for a guy can be a cowboy costume. It is not so difficult to make it yourself, so you do not have to put in much effort. The main thing is to observe accuracy in patterns and be guided by instructions in which everything is signed in detail. Even for a novice craftswoman, this will not take too long.

So, how can you create a New Year's cowboy costume? Simply and easily. To do this, you will need trousers, a shirt and a vest. In order to create trousers, you should take a dense dark-colored corduroy fabric as a base. Jeans might work too. Then you should transfer the patterns to the fabric from the side that will be the wrong side. Do not forget about the seams, which should be about one and a half centimeters. After the pattern has been applied,cut strictly along the lines and fold the future trousers so that the front side is directed inward. After that, trousers should be sewn together, which will later be included in the cowboy costume. In this process, you first need to stitch, make step seams, and then overcast the edges. After that, the middle seam is made and, again, the edges are overcast.

Then you should do the belt. In order to make it, you should carefully tuck the upper part of the pants so that you get a kind of drawstring, the width of which will be about three centimeters. After that, it must be hemmed. Do not forget that you need to sew a special elastic band into the belt.

As decorative elements, a special fringe should be sewn to the trousers. This must be done in the area of \u200b\u200bthe seams and along their entire length. You can also sew a fringe only from the knees to the bottom. The pants that the cowboy costume should have are ready. You should move on to creating a shirt.

In order to make a shirt, you can take natural cotton fabric, dyed in bright colors or plain. It depends on taste preferences. The beginning in making a shirt is exactly the same as in the case of trousers. First of all, it is necessary to apply the contours using a pattern, cut out the necessary details. After sewing the half of the back from the wrong side, overcast all the seams and smooth them well with an iron. Then do the same procedure with the shelves along the side and shoulder seams.

From the same matteryou should make a facing on the neck, fold it with the front side inside and stitch. Turning the resulting product inside out, you should iron it and overcast all edges. The side seams on the sleeves should be stitched separately, after which it is necessary to sew them to the main product. This shirt, which all cowboy costumes have, is ready.

Making a vest is no different than making a shirt except for the lack of sleeves. Also, fringe should be sewn from the side of the seams. It is used as an additional element of the costume.

This boy's cowboy costume is ready!
