Carnival costumes for children: “Snow Maiden” Your baby has expressed a desire to go toNew Year's party as the Snow Maiden, but there is no way to buy her a costume? Don’t be upset, after spending just a little time, you can please a girl with such a costume. To create a Snow Maiden costume you will need:

- white fur for the edge.

In addition, the work requires white thread, scissors, an overlocker, a sewing machine, pattern paper, a centimeter and a ruler.Cutting and sewing the dress yourselfto draw a pattern, you will need some parameters. Measure your child and determine the length and width of the dress and sleeves. It is necessary to measure the length of the product; usually the Snow Maiden's coat is sewn below the knees.Then draw on the fabric folded in half.full size pattern. Beginners can be advised to use a ready-made item when creating a pattern – dress, jacket or shirt, changing the shape of the dress and sleeves. To create a pattern, mark half the width of the chest, waist, and at the bottom the part expands like a trapezoid. After drawing the pattern on paper, transfer it to the fabric and cut it out with seam allowances (1.5-2 cm). This will be the back, so the neckline is minimal. Let's start cutting the front part. The pattern will be similar, but with the following changes: the fabric is cut in the middle, later we will sew a lock here, make a cut for the yoke and the neck will be cut with a large cutout.Cut the white fur into strips of equal width, but try to take into account the direction of the fur so that the pile is in one direction, otherwise the costume will be ugly.After cutting, start sewing the dress –First, we carefully sew the back and shelves together with basting and try them on for the future Snow Maiden. Then sew on the sleeves and shirtfront with a temporary seam and try it on a small model. The suit should be loose, so adjust it to the required size.We begin to attach all the seams.Finish the inner seams with an overlocker and sew in a zipper. Then you need to sew white fur along the hem, front, bottom of the sleeves, edge of the shirt front and collar. The dress is ready, it can be put aside until final finishing. We carefully cover the sleeves with fur. Cutting and sewing bootsWe will sew boots from blue fleece.First we cut out the sole – To do this, simply outline the child’s leg and add 1 cm from all edges. Then we cut out the toe part of the boots and two rectangles for the tops, measure the height according to the child’s leg, the boots are designed for one third of the lower leg in height. We transfer the pattern to the fabric, and cut the second boot in a mirror image! Similarly, we cut out the second layer of soft fabric so that our slippers are similar in density to boots. We sew all the necessary seams, making double high slippers.We sew a strip of fur along the edge of the boots andwrap it inside. From white fleece we form two identical bows, which we sew onto the back of the boots. They are made as simply as possible, cut out an elongated rectangle and gather the fabric in the center, so you get a bow.The cut of the kokoshnikFor the Snow Maiden's headdress we prepare a handle andcardboard. We draw a small kokoshnik; there is no need to create a separate pattern – You can draw on the back of silver cardboard. We cut out two parts so that after combining the back part looks no less beautiful than the front part. We take silver paper on the front part and add a layer of synthetic padding in between.Sew both pieces together along the edge, thenWe trim the edges of the kokoshnik with a thin strip of white fur. We sew ties or elastic at the back. The finishing of the kokoshnik will be important; we do it in accordance with the traditional Russian costume. that is, we add rows of beads. which will hang down into the forehead area.Decoration of the Snow Maiden costume Snow Maiden costumewill not be complete without decoration. According to the rules of good manners, it is not advisable to decorate too lavishly, so you should act carefully. To decorate the shelves, I chose two identical blue appliqués and sewed them on. The appliqués were first fixed with a warm iron, then I went along the edges with a fine overstitch, the threads would securely fix the pattern on the suit's hems. To make the appliques look more elegant, they can be embroidered with beads, beads or, like me, bugles. I evenly sewed six snowflakes along the surface of the shirtfront with large elements of bugles in the center. I decorated boots and a kokoshnik with the same snowflakes with bugles. In addition, I decorated the kokoshnik with threadswhite beads. You need to proceed like this: fasten the thread on one side of the kokoshnik, put six beads on the thread and fasten the resulting loop after 1.5-2 cm. Thus, make several loops, placing them symmetrically. Start the second row from the middle of the first stitch of the first row, and the third - from the first loop of the second. You will get a decoration that imitates the ancient decoration of hats.Your little beauty will surely love the resulting outfit and you can go to the party!
