How to make your bunny costume?

As time has shown, bunny costumes remain popular on New Year's children's matinees to this day. If you needed such a carnival costume, you should not rush headlong into the children's clothing store. You can sew a bunny costume yourself, right at home.

What should I do first?

First of all, you need to remove all the required measurements. It is necessary to measure the growth of the child, girth of the hips, waist and chest. After you receive the measurement data, you will be able to proceed to the next step, the essence of which will be to purchase a cut of fabric and create the necessary patterns. By the way, to the indicators received at a measurement, it is necessary to add on 8-12 centimeters that the product did not sit too densely.

How to sew a children's costume bunny - step two

After you have made patterns, you can proceed directly to sewing. However, you need to consider that our bunny will have ears. They are made of fairly wide and long strips of fabric. It is better to take the same material as for the bunny costume. This is to ensure that the same shrinkage is obtained when washing. As a filler of the ears, it is possible to apply foam rubber cuttings. It is also necessary to use steel wire, which will become a frame for them.

The costume of a bunny should have a hood, to which the ears themselves will be attached. In order to sew it, you need to take a fairly large cut of fabric size of 20 to 60 centimeters. When you sew a hood, do not forget that you need to leave holes for fixing the ears.

We continue to sew - the third stage

When the ears and hood work is over, you can go on sewing a vest and panties.

Vest is best sewed from fur fabrics, because they are much more resistant to wear and do not require frequent washing, which may be needed after the first matinee. Children in fact quickly spoil clothes, which is not surprising.

The bunny costume also includes panties. They are sewed according to the usual ready-made models, so making them at home will not be very difficult. The main requirement - panties should not turn out too narrow, because in that case your child simply can not sit down.

The main condition when sewing panties is to meet the required size. Also, you need not forget that you will need to sew a hare-tail back from behind, which is quite easy to make. It is better to attach it slightly higher than the anatomy requires, so that it does not interfere with your child's sitting.

Completion of work

When you sewed all the parts of the bunny costume and drove them around in size, you can proceed to their connection in one piece. Take into account that the costume is not separate, but the overalls type, moreover, it is warm enough, therefore it is not recommended to put a lot of clothes under it, otherwise the child may become sick from the heat. It should be borne in mind that such suits are made for any planned activities, during which the child will have to move quite a lot.

Here we are with you and made a children's carnival costume. You can make a bunny costume for adults in the same way.
