Preparation of material for tailoring the costume

Hussar's uniform consisted of several details. The main ones were a mentik - a cape with fur, a doloman - a short jacket, a shako - headdress, chikchiry - cavalry trousers, boots - narrow high boots. Before sewing a hussar costume for a boy, you need to determine the details, prepare a monophonic fabric of red and black colors. You can refuse the mentik because the child will be uncomfortable and hot. You can also simplify the sewing of clothes by cutting rows of loops. In the decoration of chikchir you can limit yourself to stripes, except for the presence of buttons. Accordingly, to make a suit, you need 3 meters of gold cord, 8 large copper buttons for fastening the doloman and 16 smaller buttons that will decorate the ends of the loops. To create a shakkin, you will need cardboard.

We sew the hussar doloman

The costume of a hussar for a boy should begin with the tailoring of a dolman. As a pattern, you can take a denim jacket child and, turning out, circle the details on a cotton cloth of red color. The collar of the dolman should be standing up. The golden braid is sewn in eight rows on the shelves, creating a loop on the left side, and to the right to sew large buttons. They will be fastened with a jacket. Decorate the ends of the loops with small buttons. Also, if desired, the cord adorns the back and cuffs of the sleeves of the doloman.

The New Year's costume of a hussar for a boy must have epaulettes. Expand the shape of the shoulder four parts. Two of them duplicate. Stitch out the details in pairs, turn them out, sew a hole with a hidden seam. Attach the epaulettes to the shoulders of the jacket, decorate the edge with the same golden cord.

We sew hussar pants

What kind of hussar uniform without chikchi? Soldier trousers should be narrow. You can remove the pattern from underwear or pantyhose, slightly increasing it. To create pants, take a cloth black or navy blue, transfer the details of the pattern, cut out. Then stitch the side and step seams from the wrong side. On the front side of the trousers draw a hussar knot from the cord. On the sides also decorate the legs with stripes. Handle open edges, insert the rubber band.

Creation of a headdress

The carnival costume of a hussar for a boy must necessarily include a shako. Before making, you need to make a pattern of cardboard, which will later serve as a frame. First draw a rectangle, the long side of which will correspond to the circumference of the child's head. Add 1 cm for a loose fit and 2 cm from one short side to connect the part. The tip of the cyber cylinder in front is slightly overestimated. To create the appearance of the vertex, divide the length of the rectangle in half, lift the middle 5 cm upwards. Connect the resulting point to the tops of the sides. Next, glue the cylinder joints on the back of the head. To make the top of the headdress, attach a rectangular pattern with the part where the top will be located, to a piece of cardboard and circle the marker. To the resulting oval, add an allowance of 2 cm, cut out the pattern, make incisions. In the future, the allowance will need to be bent and, inserting inside, glued to the cylinder. You can decorate the shako with a cloth of black color. Cut out the same parts that were made for the frame. The visor is shaped like a crescent. Adhesive patterns paste on the inside of the cylinder. And also sew it with a cloth of black color.

Then the headpiece is decorated with a gold cord with brushes, which should be on the front of the shako and, freely crossing it from left to right, hang down to the shoulder. At the top of the cylinder, attach the sultan. You can make it from a cocktail tube covered with fur.
