If you are “friends” with a needle and a thread, then in this case boldly get down to business-and from under your hands will appear the carnival costume of the most real cowboy! Moreover, it will not be difficult for you to sew it with our help. The most important thing is to have for this some time and, of course, the desire to deliver joy to your child.

DIY Cowboy costume

Since a cowboy is far from a fairy -tale character, you can combine a suit for a small “American shepherd” from the clothes that will probably be found in his wardrobe. But at the same time, it is necessary to take into account all those elements that are inherent in cinema heroes. However, the cowboy suit will look the most cool in the boy, if you sew all its elements yourself.
Are you already “ripe” before creating a suit with your own hands? Then you will need to purchase artificial suede brown (you will need a meter cut), thread in tone and get a star template.

We sew pants for cowboy:

You will need to fold the matter 4 times, and draw the part of the pants on top, adding 5 cm to the seams.
At the bottom we make the part rounded.
On top of the workpiece there is a waist line and the point of the beginning of the step seam.
From the waist line you need to draw strips, the width of which varies from 5 to 7 cm - The loops will be located there. Connect their upper part with the beginning of the seam, which will be laid along the inside.
Cut the part drawn on the fabric.
Using a stencil, cut 5 stars.
The fringe is cut from a suede strip of 7 cm width.
The loop strips for threading the belt will need to be folded in half and stitch them.
Stanines are folded by the front sides, fringe is applied inside (to the outer seam), and then the sides of the trousers are conjugated.
In the form of an application to each trouser, set up along the star.
Through the belt of the pants into the loops, take the belt - so the trousers will not subside during active games.

We sew a cowboy vest:

The vest pattern is simply made: a shirt is outlined, suitable in size to your boy - the contours of the shoulders, sides and bottom, and the armhole and neck are finished later. After the pattern, you should get two blanks.
One of the parts will need to be cut in two, and then fringe is attached to each half.
The second detail is decorated star and fringe.
Fold the parts of the sleeveless spaces inward and lay the side seams with the machine in the shoulders.
It remains only to turn the vest.

We complement the image of the cowboy with accessories:

The image of a cowboy will only be completed if the boy, except for the vest and pants, will be equipped with:

Bright neck scarf. The scarf should be in the same color scheme with basic elements of the costumebut without a drawing, since the cowboys of the Wild West used them in the form of a protective agent. Therefore, such a handkerchief was not considered a decoration, but rather served as a kind of mask from dust and insects.
And, of course, the brave hero with his help could remain unrecognizable for the people who are indignant for him.

The handkerchief is tied in several ways:

But it is not necessary to tie a scarf on the child’s neck.
The costume will look very good if you complement it with an accessory in the form cervical lace - It is easily fixed, but looks elegant.

Cowboy belt. Complete the cowboy costume with a black or dark brown belt. A prerequisite - so that the buckle on it is large; Its form is not of fundamental importance.

Star. Sheriffs adorned with such a star as a symbol of his power. So let your boy will be in the role of an omnipotent sheriff. To do this, sew on a vest either an attribute carved from a fabric, or a plastic purchased in a store.

Pistol in the holster. Put this attribute of a real cowboy in the store and attach it to the belt. Your little “cowboy” will be able to grab his formidable weapon from the holster during the matinee and hit them with his conditional enemies.
Cowboy hat with bent fields. Without this attribute, no self -respecting cowboy can do. A suitable hat can be purchased in a store, or made it yourself using fabric and cardboard.

Important tips for creating a cowboy suit for a boy for the New Year:

sew a vest and trousers in one tone - this is how the ensemble will be the most spectacular;
sew the pants so that the child is not too close or wide in them. Since outgoing events usually practice outdoor games, the boy should be comfortable in the suit;
make sure that metal parts (belt buckle, icon) do not have sharp edges so that the child could not get hurt about them.

If a loving mother will make a cowboy suit with his own hand, then the boy will look unique at a costume event, and his joy will be a real gift for you.
