Materials and measurements for the costume of a tin soldier for a boy

If you decide to sew the costume of a tin soldier for your boy with your own hand, then you do not need to particularly puzzle over what clothes details will need to be constructed for this.
It is enough for your child to have trousers with stripes, a high headdress (Kiver) and a couple of jackets. However, the upper jacket (mentik) does not have to sew at all if you do not need to achieve complete identity with the outfit of the military of those historical years.

What measurements should be removed from the child to make a suit:

For sewing jackets, you need to measure how long they should have, as well as the length of the sleeves and shoulders. As for the girths, it should be measured here: a brush, neck, chest and waist. The height of the collar also matters, so measure it.
For sewing uniform trousers, you will need to find out the size of the hips and waist girths. Knowledge of their length and width will also be needed.
For sewing a headdress, you need to take a measurement of the head of the child’s head and calculate the desired height of Kiver. If you are not a professional seamstress, then in this case you can use our tips, how all these measurements are removed.

We determine how much matter needs to be purchased:

In the manufacture of the costume, we used a simple cut, so we purchased the fabric taking into account the length of the things included in the kit.

Example: with a jacket length of 36 centimeters (if the width of the fabric is 150 cm), you need to buy half a meter of matter. If the costume is sewn for a teenager, then you need to take into account not only its length, but also the length of the sleeves.

For the manufacture of a suit (taking into account our measures), you need to get:

fabric for trousers or ready -made black classic trousers;
red matter for sewing lower jackets (50 cm);
black matter for sewing upper jackets (50 cm);
with a black cloth from which a hat, a collar and shoulder straps will be made;
lining fabric for a jacket, which is dressed from above (50 cm);
oblique fiber of golden hue (5 m);
cord of golden hue (16 m);
artificial white fur (it will need very little);
black, red, yellow, golden (lurex) and white threads;
buttons in the amount of 23 pieces;
secret lightning of the same color as a jacket;
tops;
cardboard format A4 (3-4 sheets);
circul and ruler.

DIY tin soldier for a boy: step -by -step instructions for creating, patterns

To get started, we’ll get trousers:

You will need to build a pattern - it will become the basis of this element of the costume.
Take care of the pattern and sewing of trouser details - read how to do it.
First, and then sew lamps - To do this, you will need a gold braid, you can use a scythe.

We are engaged in the lower and upper jackets:

A jacket embroidered with golden cords was previously called a doloman, and the mentik - the upper jacket, sheathed with fur stripes.
Using our schemes, build, given the measurements you removed, your pattern. Both the upper and lower jackets are sewn on its basis.
Using our instructions, build a base for the future collar of a jacket. It is only necessary to simulate the collar.

Take care of the collar for the costume of a tin soldier. This is done as follows: determine the point (B1), and from it up, following the line (wa) you need to postpone the height of this part (in our case, the height is 2 cm).
From the point (d), following the line (DS1), measure again the height of the collar. Those points that you get as a result of these manipulations need to be connected and accurately given to the collar cut.

Ready -made patterns are already half the age. It will be not difficult for you to sew the collar, using our instructions.

For the manufacture of a collar, it is also worth using adhesive tissue, from which it will become more rigid and will not crush.
Next, you need to sew on the outer side stage-stand Completely, but in the internal - do not complete it by 4 cm on both sides of the shelves. This will be needed so that the secret fastener of the Molonius correctly falls into place.

How to sew a snake correctly:

First you need to sweep out both shelves so that these parts correctly lay down to each other.

Next, you will need to attach a zipper to the inside and pin it with pins.

Make sure that the front of the jacket is not overwhelmed by the incorrectly located lock.
From the inside, you need to stitch the snake, and remove the bloom.
At the top, the zipper will need to be hidden inside the collar - from the inside, its tips can be tented with your hands.

Decorate the jacket as shown in our picture.

Sew the seats. Process the product from below and on the sleeves, decorating them with a oblique golden box, and the sleeves are also a golden cord.

It's time to do shoulder straps:

Take a sheet of dense paper on which draw a wrapper and cut it.
Grand adhesive tissue to black tissue.
On the matter for the upper part of the tin, you will need to set up a golden box.
The template must be placed in such a way that the golden strip is in its middle.
Parts for shoulder straps will need to be cut and sewn.
Ready's twin should be sewn on the shoulders and sew or glue the buttons on them.

The second jacket (upper) is sewn in almost the same way as the lower one. It will be even easier to sew it, because for her you will not need a collar, lightning and shoulder straps. But in return it will have to be equipped with a lining and stripes of artificial fur, which are sewn to the lower edge of the jacket.

I can or stick with a glue gun on the lower and upper button jackets.

How to make a kiver for a tin soldier's costume?

If the volume of the head is, for example, 52 cm, and the height of the headdress should be approximately 18 cm, then you need to take two sheets of cardboard with A4 format.
First of all, deal with building a circle that is 52 cm in diameter.

The second circle can be calculated when using the formula C \u003d 2P*R (in our case, c \u003d 52). When calculating its radius R \u003d 52: 2p \u003d 52: 6.28 It will be 8.3 cm. Using a circul, take up the construction of a circle with such a radius - this will be a bottom of the headgear.

It will be necessary to take another cardboard sheet, and, having put a cut circle to it, outline the visor of your future hat.
Take a pattern of the bottom, side and visor of fabric.
Sew the bottom of the paper to the cardboard base of the cap.

Sew the details cut out of matter. The fabric cover must be pulled onto the cardboard base. Having fixed the hat at the top with pins, stretch the matter well, while turning the excess fabric inside the hat.

Next, you will need to sew the edges and visors to this construction. The seam is covered with a golden slanting box with a glue gun.

Use to decorate Kiver to the costume of a tin soldier a gold -wicker mowing and 2 brushes of 4 parts (the same cord will go to their manufacture), and buttons. On the sides, decorate the hat with "fasteners" and buttons.
