New Year is a favorite holiday for all children and adults, without exception. An elegant Christmas tree, the smell of tangerines, gifts and fun at the carnival matinee cannot leave you indifferent. But what is a carnival without a bright costume?

On the eve of New Year's parties, all parents are wondering what kind of outfit to choose for their child. This article will discuss how to sew a Petrushka costume for the holiday yourself.

Who is Parsley and what does he look like

Parsley is a comic character who is the heir to the jester of the tsarist era. The invariable attributes of the image are a hat with two or four horns, at the ends of which there are bubbles and perky bells. This is a bright outfit made of shiny fabric and slippers with raised toes and bells. A Parsley costume for a boy or girl must be colorful and fun. The image of Parsley does not have a standard, the main thing is to adhere to the basic elements of his costume, otherwise you can dream up, combining various colors of fabric and jewelry.

Suit materials

In order for Parsley's costume to look impressive, you need to choose the right fabric. It should be bright and shiny material such as satin, velor or sequin. It is these materials that have the appropriate look and are ideal for this outfit.

You will also need additional elements, such as bells, sequin ribbons, elastic bands, of course, sewing accessories and a machine.

Pants for Parsley

Sewing the pants is not so difficult as it might seem at first, the main thing is to correctly reshape the pattern from the child's pants. And even if there are small errors, they will disappear in width, because Petrushka's costume should be with wide trousers.

So, you can make a pattern in two ways:

• circle the details of the trousers by placing the thing on the paper;
• reshoot the seams by putting a transparent film on the pants.

In either case, the main thing is to correctly copy the bends of the middle seams in the front and back of the trousers, so that the thing sits well and does not fold between the legs of the child. To prevent the harem pants from getting too big, it is necessary to measure the girth of the leg at the top and add about 15 cm to this figure.Along the side and step seams, the leg can be completely flat, you just need to correctly arrange the middle seams. You can also make a small flare from the knee, and turn the edge inside out at the bottom and topstitch, making a drawstring, and insert an elastic band into it to fit the circumference of the leg above the ankle. It is not difficult to sew a Petrushka costume with your own hands, the patterns here do not require serious calculations and drawing skills. A little diligence and you will succeed!

Blouse for Parsley

It will perfectly complement the Petrushka costume. The pattern of the blouse is also not too difficult to perform. Even an inexperienced craftswoman can handle it. Of course, you can limit yourself only to harem pants and a hat, and put on an ordinary turtleneck for the child, but in this case the outfit will no longer be as spectacular as we would like.

So, the pattern of the jacket can be copied from the child's T-shirt in one of the ways described above. For this purpose, it is best to take the thing several sizes larger, so that the future product is a little loose. If there is none, then you will have to add 3-4 cm lines of reshoot along the contour. This is done so that the Petrushka costume fits freely on the child's figure.

The sleeve is removed from one side only, and when transferred to the fabric, the second part is simply duplicated. You can also make a small flare from the elbow on it, and collect the wrist with an elastic band.

Parsley's costume for a boy can also be in the form of a jumpsuit. In this case, at the stage of copying the seams, you should combine the pants and T-shirt along the waistline and draw a one-piece pattern.

What kind of hat is Petrushka wearing?

The costume is New Year's, and therefore the headdress should be decorated accordingly. Rain with asterisks will come in handy here. But which type of beanie should you choose?

After all, no matter which version of the base is chosen (overalls or pants and a jacket), it is imperative to make a hat, without it it is simply impossible to make a Petrushka costume. The pattern of this accessory, although simple, will have to tinker with the product. First of all, you need to think about what kind of hat will be, how many horns it will have and which shape is preferable.

You need to understand that a too voluminous headdress for a child will be uncomfortable, and therefore it is better to give preference to a hat with two horns, which will make the image recognizable and will not create any particular difficulties in the production process.

First of all, it is necessary to measure the head circumference and the depth of the future hat (from the back of the head to the middle of the forehead through the crown of the head). Next, on a sheet of paper, draw a rectangle half a circle long and half a height measurement. The sides of the figure are overestimated by 20 cm. Further, from the top of the lines, a triangle is drawn on both sides, the bases of which will divide the upper edge of the rectangle in half.

In order for the horns on the cap to hold well, they need to be duplicated with thin foam rubber or hard tulle in two or three layers. Two parts of the cap are sewn together and bells or bells are hooked to the ends.

Parsley's Shoes

To make the Petrushka costume with your own hands come out original and complete, you need to sew slippers. Even if at the matinee the child will be shod in sneakers or shoes, these slippers can be worn over the shoes. So, first you need to circle the child's leg along the contour in profile. From the side of the sole, you will need to indent 4 cm down, and in front of the foot, bring out the toe turned up. For slippers, you will need two fabric parts that are sewn from the heel to the middle of the foot from above, along the contour of the hole for the leg, the fabric is folded inside out, tweaked and threaded in an elastic band. Here you will also need to seal the sock with foam rubber or hard tulle so that it keeps its shape well.

Accessories and image details

How to make an original Parsley costume with your own hands? A little imagination and creativity, and the child at the holiday will be irresistible. Chic lace cuffs on arms and legs and a collar, gathered with an elastic band and worn over the suit, will be the perfect complement. Multicolored buboes on the chest, a belt with bells for a suit with a split base, rain on the hat and beautiful textile bells - these are the details that will make the Petrushka costume unique. The photos presented in this article can become Borrowed ideas, a few of your own nuances - and a unique colorful outfit is ready!

How to distribute colors on a suit

What color should Parsley be? The costume is New Year's, which means that green and red colors, which are considered symbols of this holiday all over the world, will be an ideal combination. You can use yellow, blue and orange as a complement. However, this is not a rule at all, and if there is an idea to make a Petrushka costume out of scraps (there is a photo of such an outfit in this article), then such a decision will also be correct. The main thing is that the suit fits well.

Pants and sleeves different colors, a jumpsuit divided in half, a hat with multi-colored horns and bright buboes - just such, at times ridiculous, combination is inherent in this image. However, this has its advantages, because if there are shreds, then they can be easily used.

The buffoon is a well-known and beloved character from childhood who always acts as such a ringleader on any children's matinee... Children willingly repeat the dance movements after him, guess his riddles and perform various tasks. And if the buffoon turns out to be in the retinue of Santa Claus at the New Year's carnival, then, of course, he is given one of the most important things - driving round dances around the Christmas tree. That is why the costume of this character must be impeccable so that the enthusiastic glances of the little guests shine for a long time from the memories.

This article will describe the process of creating an outfit for this hero, from designing patterns to sewing on ribbons and shiny sequins. So, how to sew a buffoon costume with your own hands and what is needed for this?

Materials and tools

When it comes to sewing, first of all, of course, it is necessary to prepare not only but also the equipment: a machine and, if possible, an overlock. Many novice craftswomen sometimes forget about the necessary correspondence of the needle and the canvas, which leads to unpleasant consequences, such as tightened seams, gaps or holes in the material. Why is it about sewing machine? Because without her it is possible to sew a buffoon costume with your own hands, but this will take much more time. In addition, it is unlikely that it will be possible to make all the seams perfectly straight by hand.

Also, for work, you should prepare a building film or tracing paper for developing patterns, a centimeter tape and or a simple ballpoint pen for working on polyethylene.

How to make patterns?

To sew a suit of a buffoon with your own hands, you immediately need to draw clothing templates: pants and a shirt. There are two options for cutting: by clothing and by measurements. Both the one and the other method are not very difficult to execute, but you will have to try.

Pattern for clothes

To reshoot with ready-made clothes, you will need a T-shirt and Moreover, regardless of whether it is a kid's costume or an adult's. The clothes are laid out on a flat surface, covered with a film on top and, using a pen or marker, they draw a contour and draw all the seams on things. After all the manipulations, all that remains is to cut out the parts from the film, reshoot them onto the material, add allowances for the seams and cut out.

Shirt pattern by measurements

The second option is a little more complicated and will require some calculations to get beautiful suit buffoon. The pattern is built on the basis taken measurements: bust, waist, hips, shoulder width, sleeve, leg and shirt length. So, two rectangles are drawn on the film. One with the height of the length of the shirt and the width of the largest of the measured girths, divided in half, and the second is as high as a sleeve, and a width equal to twice the depth of the armhole.

On the first rectangle on top, find the center of the side and draw a neck proportional to the size of the jacket. After the shoulder seams to the edges, beveled by 1.5 cm and, before reaching the perpendicular lines of about 5 cm, draw down the armhole for the sleeve. Next, they begin to work on a rectangle to build a sleeve, where the height is the length, and the width is the measure taken along the cut of the armhole. The sleeve may not be narrowed to the wrist, but the ridge is rounded a little, cutting off the corners in the armpit area.

by standards

Wide trousers are a must-have item that a buffoon costume should include. The pattern for this garment is constructed as follows:

• first you need to draw two rectangles, where the length is equal to the length of the trousers, and the width is a quarter of the hip circumference +8 cm and plus 10 cm;
• in the drawings, from one of the sides, they go down to the measure of the depth of the seat (it is removed while sitting on the stool from the waist line to the stool itself along the thigh), on a smaller rectangle this value is reduced by 4 cm;
• from the obtained points to the side of the rectangle in the larger drawing, add 4 cm, on the smaller -1 cm and draw new edges of the part, reducing the additions to the knee line;
• then proceed to the middle seam and the bow of the trousers, where at the top of the rectangle, the details retreat 4 cm into the interior and descend to the seat line, rounding off the middle seam, before reaching the end point of about 4 cm.

After all the manipulations, you will get the most primitive pants template, according to which you can sew harem pants. They fit perfectly into a buffoon suit. Children's and adult outfits are not much different from each other, and therefore this construction option is suitable for everyone.

Selection of fabric

How to make an interesting do-it-yourself buffoon costume? Patterns are half the battle, the main thing is to choose the right material that will set the mood for the whole outfit. For this purpose, a fabric with a shine, such as satin, supplex or velor, is great. The last two should not cause any problems at all in the work, since the cuts can be left without processing, and the ability of the fabric to stretch conceals possible cut defects.

What color should the buffoon suit be? An adult and a child will easily answer this question, because everyone knows that the outfit of this hero must necessarily have many bright colors. Yellow, red, green, orange, blue and pink - all these colors can be combined in this outfit with each other. These can be patches on a suit, frills inserted into the seams, or simply cut details sewn from fabrics of different colors.

Finishing and details of the costume

Accessories are an integral part of any outfit. For the buffoon, this is a cap with bells, as well as a beautiful lace and angular collar with bell pendants. A buffoon costume for a girl can be made with tight knit pants and a multicolored tutu skirt.

The trousers and wide sleeves of the suit are gathered at the bottom with an elastic band. To add charm and zest to the outfit, the elastic is sewn in so that there is still fabric left after it, which will be gathered in a beautiful frill. A sequin ribbon will fit nicely around the edge of this frill, adding sparkle to your outfit. It can also be sewn on the chest of a shirt by laying out any or simple vertical stripes.

How to sew a hat?

To sew a buffoon cap, you need to take a measurement of the girth of the head, then draw on the film a rectangle with a width equal to half the measurement and a height of about 40 cm for a child and 50 for an adult. Further, stepping back about 15 cm from the bottom up, draw the future horns of the cap, diverging from the middle. The whole hat will definitely need to be duplicated with dense tulle, and the horns - also with padding polyester, so that they stick out well. You will also need to make a lining in such a hat so that the tulle does not prick your forehead. Difficulties should not arise here, you just need to cut out two more of the same parts from any fabric, just cut off their horns about 16 cm from the bottom of the hat.

Parsley is a favorite hero of farce fair shows. A cheerful, sharp-tongued buffoon, who is not afraid to ridicule either the law enforcement officers, or the royal boyars, or the Tsar-father himself. The doll Petrushka was necessarily in Russia in every traveling theater, and the genre scenes played out with her participation invariably gathered crowds of peasants and townspeople in any locality. Appearance toys are easily recognizable, and your child in this image on New Year's party will have an undeniable success!

Details and equipment

Petrushka's costume must meet two requirements: the brightness of the design and the preservation of the Russian folk color. Let us emphasize: this is precisely the Russian folklore hero. About him, his pranks, unknown authors from the people created their plays, and then professional writers.

The outfit consists of a cap, a shirt with a sash, and boots. It is not difficult to make it from improvised means, with some additional accessories.

Cap-beanie

Petrushka's costume can be either with a single cap or with a double-horned cap. The first is made of flexible cardboard and painted to match the clothes. Or it is covered with a cloth, and multi-colored circles, patches, etc. are glued to it. Be sure to decorate your hat with confetti! After all, this is an outfit for the holiday! The cone of the hat ends with a bell (you can buy a small sample in a souvenir shop) or a bell pom-pom - it is not difficult to make it from a piece of cloth and cotton wool. You can diversify the Petrushka costume, giving it a fabulous shade, and instead of a pom-pom, make a tassel from sparkling Christmas tree "rain" or tinsel.

It is a little more difficult to make a two-horned headdress - you need to sew a hat from two caps. The material should be taken multi-colored. Decorate like the first option. To keep the "horns" in shape, you need to stuff a little cotton wool or foam rubber into them.

Top of the outfit

Petrushka's costume includes a shirt in the manner of a Russian blouse. The color should be bright, catchy: scarlet, orange, sunny yellow. Sewing this is not difficult! Yes, you need to take the material "with an ebb": silk, satin, satin. If you do not know how to sew, but there is no one to turn to, we get out of the situation like this: an ordinary plain T-shirt (only one size or two more than necessary) is taken At the collar it must be pulled off with a lace or elastic band (so that there is no wide neckline). Glue the bottom of the sleeves with a decorative shiny ribbon from those that make up bouquets. with the rest of the decor, it will magically transform the T-shirt. And trim the bottom of it with a shiny ribbon. Do not be afraid to be clumsy! At the carnival, it is in place!

Bottom of the outfit

Parsley assumes pants of a special style - wide, tucked into boots, sewn from material of two contrasting colors: yellow and blue, green and red, etc.

Colored patches are also sewn onto the pants (the more cheerful the color scheme, the more successful carnival costume work out).

Belt

An accessory such as a belt is very important for a dress. Firstly, it very successfully complements the costume, emphasizes ethnic motives in it. Secondly, it helps to hide unnecessarily big size"Shirts". The carnival belt is sewn like a regular one, only decorate the ends like a hat - pom-poms, bells, tassels (so that the accessories are in harmony and give the image completeness).

Shoes

Any boots will do. You can also decorate them if you wish.
