With the New Year holidays approaching, parents are faced with the question of what kind of costume to prepare for the child for numerous matinees. I would like the costume to be original and, at the same time, not too complicated to perform. The pirate costume is one of the easiest to make. Plus, the pirate theme is in vogue thanks to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Let's take the outfit of the unforgettable Jack Sparrow as a model.
It is necessary
- Women's white silk blouse with a turndown collar.
- Dark trousers.
- Dark one-sided fabric.
- A piece of red fabric.
- Leather boots, no less than mid-calf height.
- A flap of imitation leather in the color of the boots, 100 x 100 cm.
- Gold braid 2 - 3 cm wide.
- Toy knife and gun.
Instructions
Step 1
A regular white men's shirt will not work as a white pirate shirt. We need chic. Therefore, the shirt should be with puffy sleeves and preferably made of silk fabric. Even if it is artificial silk. So find a women's silk blouse with long, puffy sleeves. Sew the buttons on the cuffs so that the cuffs fit snugly around the baby's wrists. This prevents the sleeves from drooping. On the contrary, they will lie with a good slouch. Of course, a blouse, even a woman's, will be too wide for a child. You will hide the excess width under a long vest and pull it with a sash.
Step 2
But any trousers will do, as long as the color is dark. Iron your trousers so that there are no arrows on them. Pirates cannot have ironed arrows on their trousers.
Step 3
You will have to sew a long vest. You will need a dark, one-sided fabric, that is, a fabric that looks the same on the back and front sides. To sew a vest, cut out three rectangles. The length of the largest rectangle that will become the back should be equal to the distance from the shoulder to mid-thigh. The width of this rectangle is half the circumference of the child's hips plus 5 cm. Cut out two more rectangles. These will be shelves. Their length will be equal to the length of the large rectangle, and their width will be half its width plus 10-15 cm. Sew shoulder seams from the edges to the middle. In this case, do not sew the shelves to the end, leave 10-15 cm of the upper cut free. These will be the lapels. Throw a semi-finished vest over your child, fasten the side seams with the armpits so that it is convenient to move your arms. Stitch down from this place. The side seams on the bottom do not need to be sewn up to the end. Side cuts are allowed on the vest. Sew all sections, except for the inner ones, with gold tape.
Step 4
For a sash, you need a red fabric about two meters long and 30-40 cm wide. You don't even need to process it, but simply wrap it beautifully around the waist. The main thing is that the material from which you carve a sash is not free-flowing. Cut a bandana out of the same fabric. This will be a 50x50 cm square flap.
Step 5
The hardest part is real pirate boots. Put on the boots you chose for the suit. Measure from the top of the boots to the knee. Cut two trapezoids out of faux leather. The height of each trapezoid is equal to the measured distance multiplied by two, plus 5-10 cm. The short side should be equal to the calf circumference plus 2 cm per seam, and the long side should be 5 cm more. These will be the tops of the boots. Sew each trapezoid on non-parallel sides. Sew the longer side with gold braid or curly cut, for example, teeth. Slip the cuffs over the pants, right side in. The wider hole should be at the top. Then put on your boots so that the bottom edge is inside the bootleg. Tuck the trousers into the bootleg. Fold the boots right side out and cover the place where the cuffs and boot meet. The seam on the cuffs should be on the inside of the leg. So that your baby can actively move at the holiday without fear of losing his boots, fasten the cuffs with a few stitches.
Step 6
Well, it remains to apply a few small touches. Put on a bandana, stick a knife and pistols into your belt. For completeness, you can depict the beard and antennae with special makeup paints. Before you is almost a real Captain Jack Sparrow.
