It is the children who so eagerly await gifts under the tree from old Santa Claus, write him letters with all their sweet wishes and with such incredible fervor believe in miracles on this holiday. And also on New Year's, every child wants to change his everyday outfit for something new, original. To put on a costume of a favorite hero, a magical character or a favorite animal. And the task of every skilled mother is to make her child's dream come true. And to make this task easier, we present to your attention a simple and original pattern of a costume for a girl. Let's make a New Year's cat costume together. The presented outfit has become very popular thanks to comics, cartoons and movies about Catwoman. The main character not only wore a cat outfit every night, but also fought for justice and equality, while demonstrating amazing agility, dexterity and flexibility. Even if your child is not fond of this character, the costume of an ordinary black cat will be no less beautiful and popular with your daughter. Moreover, its production requires very little effort and time.The original suit was black, but youYou can always choose a coloring that would match the character's style, but would not be so gloomy. First, before we start creating the pattern of our children's costume, we will make a simple basic pattern. All the measurements that you will take from the child must be accurate so that the costume ultimately sits on the girl beautifully, and she is comfortable in it. Let's move on to modeling the costume. Let's do the side seams. On the front side of the dress pattern, from point T2, put aside two centimeters in both directions. Mark the new straight sides of the front, as well as the back of our outfit. Measure down six centimeters from the waistline, draw a straight line along the front and back. Cut along the formed lines. We make a neckline. It must be deepened in the front and on the back. To create lantern sleeves, familiarize yourself with the provided drawings. Cut our sleeve along the roll line, and then spread it.To properly construct our sun skirtfollow our drawing. First, make a skirt pattern according to the length of the measurement. After that, cut it and spread it apart. You can additionally make folds, or, without bothering, make a simple assembly. Let's start cutting out the cat costume itself. From the knitwear you have chosen, you need to cut out the following parts:

The front part of the suit is one piece with a fold;
The back of the outfit is one piece with a fold;
For sleeves, two parts are necessary;
The skirt is cut from the satin and two layers of the net.

It is also necessary to make a strip of mesh threecentimeters wide, its length will be the bottom of our skirt, multiplied by 1.8. For the image of a catwoman, you will also need leg warmers. Using a regular tape measure, measure the circumference of the girl's shin, as well as the distance from the foot to the top of the shin. Then draw a rectangle according to your parameters - and that's it, the pattern is complete. You need two of these parts. You will also definitely need ears. They should be attached to a hoop, which can be purchased at any store. If necessary, cover it with black fabric to create a better image. Sew the ears or glue them to the hoop with superglue. To make a tail, you need to cut a strip of fabric, 35 to 45 centimeters long, depending on the girl's height, the width is about 9 centimeters. You will also need a regular black knitted elastic band. You can also find it in specialized stores.Let's start sewing the suit.Sew the side and shoulder seams on the fragments on the overlock. Process the neck with an overlock stitch, then fold it over and go over it with a double needle. Sew elastic bands or drawstrings to our sleeves. Thread the elastic bands and tighten. Process the sleeve seams. Then fold them under from below and go over it again. Sew the finished sleeves into the armholes. Sew each part of the skirt along the seams separately. Place them on top of each other and baste them boldly along the top. Pick up the skirt along the upper edge, connect it to the top of the suit and sew it.Sew the frill strip right in the center,then tighten, having previously adjusted the length. Run the machine along the bottom of the upper skirt. Let's move on to the tail. Fold the cut out part in half lengthwise, and then stitch along the long side and one short side. After that, turn the tail inside out, fill it with cotton wool or padding polyester, at your discretion, and attach the finished tail to our costume. Let's make leg warmers and arm warmers. Fold the parts in half and stitch carefully. Cut eight strips of elastic, four for leg warmers and arm warmers. It is important that the elastic is slightly stretched. Sew all eight elastic bands along the short sides. Then, stretching a little, run along the bottom, and then along the top of our parts.The last part is the cat ears.Make two pieces of our fabric and four pieces of black. If the whole costume was made of black material, then two pieces should be lighter. Secure two pieces of black fabric with thermal fabric. Then stitch the other two pieces, which were not secured, onto the pieces of light fabric. Carefully fold the piece of each ear in pairs face to face, and go along the two lower and upper sides. Leave only one section untreated, through which you will then turn our cute ears inside out. After that, sew up the unclosed section. When the ears are ready, attach them to our hoop. If desired, you can decorate it with something, for example, a bow.Congratulations, our cat costume is ready!Of course, you can use different materials and decorations for the outfit. Using paints and makeup, draw a cute nose and whiskers for the girl to make the image of the cat more real. Also, feel free to choose accessories. The most important thing is that everything looks complete, and nothing is superfluous. Enjoy your holidays.
