DIY penguin costume

Before starting work, prepare materials. If you have them at home, you can save. In extreme cases, buy materials in sewing stores. Their cost is not high, and the total check will come out much lower than buying a finished costume.
As a basis, use white and black fleece. Give preference to thin materials that are used as a lining for outerwear. A thick fleece will cause discomfort to the child, because it will be very hot in the matinee. To make paws and beaks, you need an orange fleece.

Some parents choose satin materials, however, they have a number of disadvantages:

It is electrified, because of which the child will not be very comfortable;
The satin fabric is cold. Under the costume you need to put on a turtleneck and warm pants;
Cheapness. Outwardly, such a costume will look unaesthetic.

To create a beautiful Penguin costume, it will require understudy or non -woven. Do not forget to prepare a black zipper, linen gum and filler (synthetic winterizer).

How to make patterns for a penguin costume?

It is not difficult to make a pattern for a penguin costume. To do this, you will need a child’s T -shirt. Attach it to Watman, and circle the outline of the armhole and neck. Transfer the patel to a black fleece. It is better to make sure that it is whole, and the back consists of several parts. The width of the back should be slightly larger than before it is possible to make high -quality seams. It is better to make the back from 2 parts so that they are connected with a lightning. So it will be easier for a child to wear a suit.

The penguins have a beautiful snow -white breast. To make the costume beautiful, it also needs to be considered. The breast needs to be cut out of the white fleece, and stuck it to the main product. To stitching parts from fleece, you can use a classic machine line or zigzag. In order for a penguin outfit to be more voluminous, put the filler under the chest.
First sew a zipper to the back, and then proceed to the stitching of the parts. After joining the zipper, treat the armhole and neck. To do this, it is better to use a black box. It will also be required to process the lower edges into which the linen gum should be drawn. So the outfit will look better.

How to make a penguin's wings for a suit?

Most people know that penguins are non -lethal birds. Despite this, they have small wings. Do everything so that the wing closes the child's hand. Pre -measure the length of the arm.

To make wings for a penguin costume, adhere to step -by -step instructions:

Cut 2 details from a black fleece, and 2 parts made of white material.
Cut the elements from oak and felt in black. Their size should be 5 mm smaller than the main parts.
Place the understudy between the felt details, and fade. If instead of felt you use a fleece, then such actions do not need to be carried out. High temperatures will melt the fleece, and it will acquire roughness.
Send the seal to the black element of the wing.
Connect the white and black parts of the wing, and turn it on to the front side.
Sew the wings to the base. Place the edge of the wing under a neck seam.
To the other side of the wing, sew a loop from linen gum so that the child puts it on the wrist.

How to make additional details for a penguin costume?

If you decide to sew a hat, it is not necessary to start all the work from scratch. Take the usual hat of the child and circle it. Cut the two halves, and sew them using a zigzag seam.
From the orange material, cut the triangle, which will be a beak. Sew it to the hat, strengthening the felt. Fix the part in the middle of the cap so that its tip touches the forehead a little.

A few centimeters higher (on the sides of the beak) sew your eyes. To make them, you need 2 circles of black material, and 2 circles from a white fleece. Add your eyes to the hat with a zigzag.

As shoes, put comfortable slippers on the child that will not slide. It is better if they are an orange or light brown shade.

Now you know that there is nothing complicated in sewing a penguin costume for a child. If you stock up on ordinary materials and a small amount of time, you will get a beautiful and original outfit that will allocate your child from the crowd.
