One of the most traditional heroes of variousfairy tales is a rooster. Its image - multi-colored, colorful and bright - stands out favorably against the background of others, so if your child has such a role at a matinee or carnival, then you need to seriously approach the preparation of the appropriate costume. However, this does not mean that you need to run around the shops and buy or rent an expensive outfit, because you can sew it yourself.
Preparatory stage
Ready to feel reala fashion designer? Don't be scared - nothing too complicated awaits you, just rely on your imagination and creative ideas. The image of a cockerel can be made very simply (this will be especially relevant for very young children who do not need realistic costumes): dress the child in a yellow or white T-shirt and red pants with suspenders, plus - use only characteristic elements, for example, sew a comb and a beak to a cap, add a bright collar or cuffs to a blouse, decorate the legs or sleeves with sequins, etc. If you need to sew a carnival costume for an older boy with your own hands, then you will need a pattern, and fabric of different colors, and all kinds of fittings or accessories.
Let's get down to work on the image
Start with the headdress. This can be a separate cap comb (you can make it in patterns - cut and sew the two halves, and then sew on top of the picked up scallop). The comb can also be voluminous - two parts need to be cut from the red fabric, sewed and filled with foam rubber. Such a comb can be sewn even to a bandanna, even to a simple children's cap with strings. If there is no time to mess around, use the carnival mask of the cockerel.
There is a slightly more difficult option - to make a completethe upper part of the suit, that is, sew the hood to the cape, which will represent the cockerel's wings, and to embroider the comb in the inner seam of the hood, plus - add the eyes and the beak. For the peephole, cut out the oval from the white fabric, and on it, wash a small circle of black cloth. You can add a bead or shiny threads. The beak can be sewn from a fabric (on the center, sew a red triangle stuffed with filler) or make of paper (color the cardboard gouache with the addition of PVA glue and cover it with a yellow or red cloth) or papier-mache. On the sides of the headdress sew red beards (you can also fill it with sintepon or leave them flat).
It is best to sew a shirt using the bat principle.You can use a regular kosovorotka, just decorate it with a multi-colored collar or a bib, add lush cuffs to the sleeves, and add teeth to them, like feathers. And if you tie a voluminous large bow on the neck (it is better to take shiny fabric), you will get a real cockerel beard. You can attach a bib with feathers to a turtleneck or T-shirt (only with long sleeves) ‒ it will play the role of a chest. To do this, you need to cut an oval out of the fabric, and make teeth along its edging (they will also imitate feathers), and then sew on a lot of multi-colored patches (cut them in the shape of droplets). You can make a gorgeous cape in the same way from a large semicircle, sewing it to a blouse on your hands (also embroider with feather patches. By the way, this cape can be a single piece with a hood - a headdress). If you don't want a cape, cut feathers from fabric of different colors according to a template and sew them in a checkerboard pattern, starting from the shoulder. Stitch a lot of feathers in several rows to add brightness and variegation to the costume.
Bottoms can be trousers, trousers or evenshorts. It's good if the pants are slightly below the knee. Decorate the bottom with denticles or wash the same feathers as on your hands, so that the carnival costume looks harmonious. As feathers for the top and bottom, you can use many different colored frills flounces of scraps of artificial silk or satin ribbons.
If a child is wearing Czechs or sandals, thenpick up colorful colorful golfs (suitable as monophonic - yellow, white, or multi-colored or striped). With your hands you can make almost real boots. To do this, simply make paper boots with lapels and buckles to the shoes, then paint them, and fasten the buckles with foil and put them on the tape. You can simulate the paws, sewing soft flannel with three fingers on the foot.
For an adult carnival costume, you canadd and other interesting details, like a vest or a sash of red satin with brushes. An interesting idea for adults will be the creation of the image of a famous rooster from the "Bremen Musicians".
The most important part of your work is the tail. Be sure to take into account the comfort and comfort of the child so that he can move normally in a suit, sit, dance, without fear of breaking something or spoiling it. Therefore, the wire frame is not suitable for everyone. Try the "soft" option. Cut out many feather blanks, glue them from the wrong side with non-woven fabric and apply a sintepon. Sew the parts. Divide the feathers of the tail in half. Taking the longest pen, put another, shorter, and stitch it on top of both of them - one more until you reach the smallest one. Do the same with the other half of the feathers. Then connect the two pieces by stitching the two longest feathers and sew two Japanese sticks into each of them at the junction (this will make the tail more rigid and stable). Make a velcro belt and sew a tail to its middle.
As you can see, there are many options for sewing a carnival rooster costume, from which you will definitely be able to choose the most optimal one for yourself. See similar master classes:
