How to draw a Santa Claus costume pattern?A needlewoman who knows how to sew will probably draw a pattern for pants, a jacket and a cap without any problems, having first taken the necessary measurements. A less experienced craftswoman can use for the pattern things that fit her baby. To do this, you need to take pants and a jacket and redraw the details on paper. Keep in mind that the Santa suit should be loose, so measure and transfer all the details onto paper with a margin of 2 cm. The peculiarity of satin fabric for a suit is that it does not stretch at all, so pajamas and a suit made of satin, even of the same size, will look the same. differently.The cap can be sewn from 2 or 4 wedge-shapeddetails, having previously measured the head circumference. Cap length – 20 or more centimeters, depending on your preference. The cap can be made to connect
When the paper patterns are ready, they should betransfer to fabric, cutting 4 parts for pants, 2 shelves, back and 2 sleeves for a jacket, 2 or 4 wedges for a cap. When cutting out parts, you should not forget about seam allowances of 1.5-2 cm, and in the upper part of the pants you need to leave 3-4 cm for elastic. White fur is cut in long stripes along the length of the hem of the jacket, front, collar, bottom of the sleeves, legs and cap.
How to sew a Santa Claus costume?Sewing a suit begins with a jacket – the details of the shelves are sewn to the back, then the sleeves – to the jacket. The back is cut with the fabric folded, so it is a single piece.
The seams are processed with an overlocker or manually, because...the fabric is fraying. A piping is sewn along the sleeves, hem, collar and front. Finally, an invisible fastener is sewn on – zipper, hooks or buttons. As a belt, you can use a white ribbon or a thin strap, white or black, with a silver buckle.
Next step – sewing pants.First, the back and front halves are sewn together, then both parts are sewn into one product, and the internal seams are processed. A hem is made along the waistband and an elastic band is inserted. The bottom of the legs is decorated with a white fluffy edging or folded up. The last detail – cap. The cut wedges are sewn together, a edging is sewn along the bottom, and on the tip – pompom made of white threads or fur. How can you complement your Santa Claus costume? It is quite difficult for a small child to choose shoes that match a suit, so they can be sewn from leftover fabric. To determine the size, you need to circle the child’s leg and make a small allowance – 0.5-1 cm on all sides. The sole parts can be cut from leather or felt. Then 4 pieces covering the socks and boot tops are cut out of the fabric. The fabric parts are first sewn together, then sewn to the sole. The top of the resulting felt boots can be decorated with white fur, but then it is advisable to leave the pants without a hem at the bottom.
Another important detail of Santa's costume –mittens. Sewing them is not difficult: first you need to trace the child’s hand with his thumb out to form a pattern, then transfer the pattern to the fabric, cut out 4 parts with seam allowances and sew 2 mittens. To prevent the mittens from falling off, you can sew in an elastic band 2 cm from the top edge.
You'll get an interesting Santa Claus if you addsuit with a false beard made of white fur and a gift bag filled with padding polyester to create the appearance of volume. If the child is thin, you can place a small pillow under the suit to create an impressive “tummy”. It can be secured with elastic bandages and a belt.
