How to sew a fairy costume of Dinh-Din with your own hands?

A wonderful fairy tale about Peter Pena J. Matthew Barry and her mischievous heroes are equally popular with boys and girls alike. Therefore, your daughter is sure to be pleased with the offer to put on a New Year's costume fairy costume Ding-Ding. It's quite easy to make it with your own hands, especially if you have a great desire to please your child.

What is required for this

To sew a fairy costume of Dinh-Dinh, except for the sewing machine, you need to have at hand:

• Closed children's swimsuit or any T-shirt and panties of the daughter, which fit it (will be used instead of a pattern);
• Paper and pencil;
• Chalk;
• scissors;
• A sufficient number of different pins, including English pins.

You also need:

• Well stretchable fabric, best stretch velvet of any shade of green;
• Thread in tone;
• Decorative gum (can be white);
• A rigid grid of white or pale green for sewing a lush skirt;
• Usual wide elastic band.

If you do not want to buy ready-made "butterfly wings", which are sold in toy stores, then for their manufacture you need to acquire:

• Sufficiently rigid, but easily bent wire;
• Cardboard;
• White nylon stockings or golf;
• Glue.

Fairy costume Dinh-Dinh own hands: master class (option 1)

Sewing a dress of a little fun fairy-girlfriend Peter Pen is made in the following order:

• Children's swimsuit (or panties and a T-shirt) fold in half and put on a large sheet of paper. Circle along the contour and get a pattern for the back and forward.
• Cut both parts from the main fabric, taking into account allowances for seams (about 1.5 cm).
• Connect them with pins (can be swept away) and stitched in the groin and at the sides.
• Process holes for the feet. It is best to do this by simply folding the edges inward and sewing with a machine zigzag stitch.
• In the same way, the armhole and the upper cut are treated, which must be straight for both the transfer and for the back.
• For the sleeve-wings, cut an oval (a slightly flattened circle) 40 cm long. Cut off 5 cm from each edge. Divide the part in half. Bend from the cut 1 cm and stitch on the typewriter. In the resulting kulisku insert an elastic band about 15 cm long and prisborivayut sleeve. The semi-circular edge is treated with an overlock or zigzag.
• Attach the sleeves to the base with pins and sew.

New Year costume fairy Ding-Ding: sew a skirt

This important element of the outfit is made as follows:

• Measure the waist circumference, multiply by 2 and cut out a strip of fabric of such width and length;
• Cut out triangles from this strip without violating its integrity;
• Single side seam is used;
• They gather the skirt in regular folds;
• Fasten them, having sewn to the top edge of a skirt an elastic (it is better decorative).

Wings

When the skirt and the base-swimsuit are ready, it remains to make this main detail, which will turn just a beautiful outfit into a fairy-tale New Year costume of Ding-Din fairy.

To make wings, like a butterfly, you need:

• Take two pieces of wire;
• Bend the base from them (separately for each winglet);
• Pull on a white golfcloth or stocking;
• Fix the nylon with a few stitches or thread the thread and tie the knot;
• Crop excess;
• Fasten the wings with pieces of cardboard and glue so that a jumper forms between them;
• Glue a pair of rubber bands to her hands;
• Cover with cloth.

Accessories

The costume of the fairy Dinh-Din will become even more beautiful if you complement it with a lush bottom skirt. Sew it can be very easy. To do this, you just need to attach a rigid mesh fabric (the length is the same or slightly larger than the main skirt).

As for shoes, then any green shoes that need to be decorated with fluffy pom-pomants will do. They can also be done on their own. It is enough to take a bright green yarn, cut out a "bagel" from a cardboard with a small hole inside and tightly wrap around in a circle. Then the edges of the outer circle are cut off, and in the center the pieces of yarn are gathered into a tight knot. By the way, pom-poms can be completely replaced with green feathers, if they are rather magnificent.

At the last stage of the work, you can connect to the creation of a carnival costume for the daughter and father, who will certainly be able to cope with the manufacture of the magic wand with ribbons.

Option 2

Choosing a carnival outfit for the daughter for the New Year party, pay attention to the fairy costume of Dinh-Din, whose photo is shown below. Its sewing is not particularly difficult, especially if you have a green T-shirt with a sleeveless top with a large cutout. In this case, you do not have to spend much time on sewing a bathing suit. So, let's get started.

Sew the top

For this, cut out from a green cloth (for example, sateen) small leaves, truncated where there should have been a stalk. Stitch two and twist, iron. Cutout T-shirts in front drape into the folds. Paste over the folds of the leaves, tucking their blunt ends.

If the T-shirt is too spacious, you can make new side seams, having retreated from the old ones from the center on both sides the right amount of centimeters.

Skirt

Like the previous fairy costume of Ding-Ding, this outfit is also multilayered. You will need to first sew the jug from the mesh, and then cut out of the tissue 12 leaves, truncated from the cuttings. The width of each such part at the top is calculated as follows:

• Measure the waist circumference of the child;
• Add 20 cm;
• Divide by three.

All the details are stitched in two and turned over. Connect and fasten the ends of every three, getting two skirts from leaflets. They put them on each other so that all the leaves are visible. Sew together on top. Make a kulisk and pass the elastic band. Bottom put on a lush pullover made of white mesh. If there is a desire, they complement the outfit with a belt and wings, which are made as described above.

Now you know how you can make your own hands a beautiful fairy costume for Ding-Ding for a girl. Regardless of which option you choose, your daughter will look in it, like a real little sorceress.

Of course, you will have to spend time and energy on it, but the baby will forever remember how you cut the petals together from the fabric or made fabulous wings.
