Bear costume with your own hands

The teddy bear costume is one of the most popular among the New Year's carnival costumes. On sale most often there are dark standard versions of brown or white flowers. If you want to dress up your child in something more vivid and original, take a pair of scissors with a needle and start sewing yourself. We offer two simple ways how to make a bear costume.

How to sew a bear costume out of a sweatshirt?

Baby sweaters on or without a snake made of fleece with a hood are very comfortable and cozy. From such a sweater you can make an excellent costume. This method is suitable for those who want to sew a bear suit with their own hands, but can not make a pattern yet.

We will need:

• a fleece jacket or a tight foot;
• two cuts of fleece light and dark brown hues;
• Threads in tone and sewing machine.

Now consider step-by-step manufacturing.

1. We will transform this blouse into a carnival dress. To do this we need a circle of light fleece fleece.
2. We take any object that has a round shape. The important point: when you make a pattern for a bear's costume to a child, choose the size of the circle that will occupy the entire front of the jacket.
3. That's how your workpiece should fit in. Pay attention to the following: if the jacket is with a zipper, make sure beforehand that the baby's head will crawl after sewing the tummy of the teddy bear.
4. We select on the typewriter a line zigzag and we tie a preparation to a jacket.
5. The pattern of the bear's costume ears for a child consists of three such blanks.
6. First fix the front parts.
7. Then we put the two large halves face inward and make a line. We turn out.
8. We make the cuts in the hood and insert the ears. Then lay a line near the base.
9. New Year's costume teddy bear is ready!

Teddy bear costume for a baby from a soft toy

If the house has a big bear in the growth of your child, you can even use it! The fancy dress of a bear will turn out to be really original and you will not see this any more.

1. Using a knife, make an incision along the line of the stitch and pull out all the contents.
2. If the feet are sewn separately, they must first be flayed and the filler removed. The lower part of the body is also torn open to get holes for the legs.
3. Then sew them to the base. At this stage, sewing a bear's costume with your own hands, you can also prepare a place for a zipper.
4. The author of the lesson proposes to attach a zipper along the line so as not to cut the round part in the middle. From the chin and to the lower paw, we break off the seam.
5. The head of the bears needs to be filled with a little sintepon so that it is bulky. We pre-sew the latches manually so that the head holds the mold. To do this, you can use these plastic holders for computer wires.
6. Now we sew the lining. The upper part is something like a hood. You can take any sweater and make a pattern from it. The rest of the details of the pattern of the bear's costume can be made by their own hands in the same way: we twist the bear on the wrong side and circle it on the fabric.
7. It is enough to make a lining only around the torso of the bear.
8. The lining itself can be sewn by hand with a hidden seam. To make the suit more believable, in the front part you can add a little sintepon around the tummy.
9. Next, we sew a snake around the circle so that you can zip up the suit.
10. Cut off the extra legs, then the child will be able to pass arms and legs.
11. The bear's suit with its own hands will be quite warm and cozy. The child in it is quite convenient and on any carnival, he definitely will not go unnoticed.

With your own hands, you can make other interesting costumes, such as a penguin or a cat .
