Military suits with their own hands

Military suits of sailors, soldiers, pilots are necessary in the educational sphere. In kindergartens, schools spend costumed holidays on February 23, May 9. And the choreographic, theatrical circles, film studios simply do not think their performances without this dress, since the military uniform of different countries is very diverse, elegant, festive. For children's holidays, you can sew or knit costumes without replicating the original.

Military suits for kindergartens

If the form is necessary for children for songs or scenes, then it is possible to sew a suit according to the original. But if preschoolers dance with attacks, dashes and solo numbers, then it is better to make the costume externally festive, and according to cut, simple, comfortable, free. Since children 4-5 years old can get confused in clothes, stumble or cling to anything.

The easiest way to make a soldier's costume is to sew shorts, a T-shirt and a cap from a khaki fabric. Shorts are better to do elongated, the type of sports pants. On the T-shirt you can glue the thermo-application with military themes, on the pilot's cap - to sew a star.

Find a pattern of a T-shirt, translate on a fabric, stitched a back from a front, sleeves. Turn the neck and sleeves. If you do not know how to sew, then take a ready-made T-shirt that covers the child's body. On a tissue translate its or her size, mark axillas, a mouth. Now remove the T-shirt, add to the measure from each side for 2-5 centimeters (depends on the fabric), cut it off. Fix the parts. Also draw a sleeve on the T-shirt, and compare the exact size with the new pattern.

Military T-shirt and T-shirt

Split the shoulder and lateral sections with needles. Fold, stitch, if the fabric is non-friable and there is an overlock, zigzag stitch. Then fasten the sleeves with needles, and also stitch. Now cut the strip (width - 4-5 cm) for the neck.

It is better to pick up a special fabric (ribbon) that stretches. Then you need from the size of the neck of the back and subtract a third, you get the correct length of the ribbon (for example, the neck is 25 cm, then the ribbon is 17 cm). Strip stitched in a ring, fasten to the neck, stitching on the typewriter.

If a military suit for a boy is represented by a T-shirt, shorts and a cap, then the jersey is decorated with a St. George ribbon, epaulettes, badges or special applique. Especially convenient is the thermal application (apply to clothes, cover with gauze, iron with hot iron).

If there is a tunic on top, then you can sew a vest-vest. It is suitable for a soldier, a sailor, a paratrooper. Also, transfer the pattern from the shirt with wide straps to the striped fabric. Sew the shoulder and side cut, treat the armpit, throat.

Shorts for boy

For the middle group, boys can sew elongated shorts like a sports pants. Measure the girth of the hips, the length of the product and the fit. Find a pattern of shorts, put your measurements, translate everything onto fabric. Sew each half to the line of the fly. Then you pin up two parts with needles, put it on the machine. Sew a belt or just turn the fabric, pull the elastic band.

For children of the older, preparatory group, you can sew trousers. They can be spotty or green, like a war suit. Beginning seamstresses will be easier to sew trousers on an elastic band, professionals can recreate the original to trifles.

In order not to make a mistake with the cut, you can open the old trousers, translate the fabric to new dimensions, swipe, sew. The back and front half of the trousers are cut out immediately on different sheets, since the second half is higher than the first, and if the article is on the belt, then you need to outline more grooves. If you are afraid of making a mistake, then you will make the product, and then measure it on the child.

Military Headdress:

No military men's suit can not do without a cap, caps, caps. You can do with a shopping cap made of khaki fabric. Otherwise, pick up the fabric, find the patterns of the cap, start sewing. For one product, three curves are required: a large one (2 pcs.), An average piece (2 pcs.), And a petal (1 pc.).

Prikalyvayut patterns to the fabric, obvodyte with allowance on the seams. Attach the convex side of a large detail with a petal, spend them. Take the second pattern of a large detail, stitch with the other side of the petal. That is, the petal forms the top of the cap.

On the upper edge, sew two middle parts from two sides. Next, take a cap with large parts and a petal, turn it over your face. Medium parts, too, turn out on your face, insert the inside of the cap, that is, the wrong side, combining the side and bottom sections. Pricking with needles, turn it on the wrong side. The bottom must be swept. Now you spend everything on the typewriter.

That is, first sew one side of the cap, then the other. Then, also process the side sections. Note that when sewing the sides, you need to use all layers of the cap to avoid holes or wrinkles. The finished product is turned on the face, ironing with an iron.

We make soldiers' suits with our own hands

Military pants and tunics will be needed for schoolchildren. The gymnast is cut as a regular shirt, only from the "military" fabric (khaki, pale or dark green, marsh, light brown). Beginner masters patterned shirt can make a T-shirt with long sleeves, freely seated on the child.

For this, fold the fabric in half. From the wrong side, attach a T-shirt, folded vertically. Circle the received measure, shoulder cut a little downwards and slightly extend. This will be the back of the shirt. Add a centimeter to the seams, extend the bottom and round it (get an arc), cut out the measurement. Now apply this measure to the fabric, make a cutout deeper (translate without allowances).

Just circle the sleeves, adding the desired length. Cut the cuffs, collar, pockets. On the pattern with a pencil, mark the location of all the small details, so you will see where to start sewing. Connect the front parts to the rear. Then go back to the front shelves, process the straps for the buttons. Sew a collar, pockets. Then go to the sleeves, sew the cuffs. You decorate the tunic with small details (badges, orders, shoulder straps).

Fast-paced costume

Some novice craftsmen do not follow the standard rules of sewing, but imitate military suits. A photo of the form helps to present an approximate technique of cutting. For example, for military uniforms trousers-riding breeches. The craftsmen shift the pattern of ordinary trousers to the fabric, and then "by eye" widen the measurement in the hip area.

The belt is made on an elastic band. The gymnast is "adjusted" from the usual shirt, sewing epaulettes, pockets, large metal buttons. For a tunic, buy a regular belt. In principle, such military suits do not look worse than the form of professional seamstresses, but even the schoolgirl will master such a cut.

Another option - to link military attributes. Knitters imitate the headgear of tankmen, pilots, paratroopers, sailors. Kids like these suits very much. Shorts and a T-shirt are knitted with appropriate threads.

For girls, any costume consists of a skirt (half-sun, pencil or masonry) and T-shirts, tunics. The principle of cutting the top of the product is the same as described when sewing a suit for boys.

Seaman's Costume

The design of the sailor's military suit is represented by a cap, collar, white T-shirt and blue shorts for preschoolers. Blue pants, a shirt with a solid collar, will suit schoolchildren. The blue scale can be replaced with black trousers, a vest or a white shirt with a full collar and a cap.

For skate, you will need three parts: a band, bottom, and crown. Measure the girth of the child's head, cut off a 3-5 centimeter strip on the cardboard. Gluing the ends of the tape to determine the size of the cap on the head. Standard size will be a couple of centimeters less than the head circumference.

Further, the size of the trull is calculated (its inner radius is equal to the length of the circumference divided by 2), and the size of the bottom will be seven centimeters larger. That is, you can draw a large circle of the bottom of the cap, and note the inner radius on it.

If in doubt, make this model on paper, measure it, and then place the measurements on the fabric. The fact is that with an incorrect cut, the capillary can be large or, conversely, small; The trunk can be free and forms folds.

Sailor's Sleeper Seal

Also use a dubbed so that the band and the trunks keep the shape. If there is no duplicate, try initially to starch the material and from it to sew the product. In this case, a master class on the cut of a cap with a help of a dubbed is considered.

• Cut out a band on a dubbed 6-10 centimeters wide, as it will bend in half.
• Glue it with an iron on the fabric with allowance for the allowance.
• Cut out the received band.
• Fold it in half so that the dubber is inside, steamed away with an iron.
• Immediately cut out and paste on the fabric patterns of the crown and the bottom of the dubbed with allowance for allowances.
• You plant the band around the entire length, filling the sides of the fabric inwards.
• Apply the bottom and the tulle to each other, stitch.
• To allow the allowances on the outer circle not to pinch the cap, make incisions (triangles).
• Turn, steal the cap.
• The inner radius is inscribed with a flushing marker marking the line of connection with the band.

A cap and a sailor's collar

We continue to sew a naval military suit for a boy, starting with a cap.

• You plant a band with a headdress, adding in advance two satin ribbons.
• Then you spend it on the typewriter.
• At the front stick anchor attachment.

Another version of the construction of a sailor's headdress is represented by cardboard and cloth. The band consists of cardboard. To him from the inside is attached the fabric so that it covers his inner part and head. On the outside, a strip of fabric is glued. It turned out a kind of a cap of coca.

For a striped collar, measurements of the neck, width of the shoulder and the length of the product are required. On the pattern, mark the beginning of the measurement horizontally, consisting of the neck and shoulder data. To do this, make two more calculations.

• Half-neck the neck, divide by 3, add 0.5 and divide all by 3. This parameter will determine the height of the bend of the neck.
• Half-neck the neck and divide by 3 and add 0.5. This parameter, along with the length of the shoulder, is marked on the pattern.

Seaman's Suit

Vertically mark the length of the collar, add the parameter of the height of the bend of the neck. The result was a square. Now from the extreme point, indicating the size of the shoulder, along the vertical determine the length of the straps (30 cm will be enough). At the base determine their width. Now from the webbing to the point, indicating the length of the collar, draw an arc.

Translate the resulting pattern to the folded fabric. Sew white strips on the front side. Then do the same detail, so that the collar on both sides was beautiful. Sew both halves with the wrong side.

You can also sew a military suit for a girl. Just replace the shorts with a skirt-half sun. To do this, you will need to measure the length of the product and the waist. On the folded fabric from the upper corner, note the length of the waist girth with the addition of 12 centimeters. That is, if the half-shell is 28 cm, then on the fabric mark 40 cm.

From this point, draw an arc. To make the line flat, from the corner of the tissue, measure the specified parameter from one side to the other. If you did everything correctly, then the resulting arc will be a couple of centimeters more girth of the waist.

Now from the arc, note the length of the skirt, also draw a line. In this case, only one side seam is required. Belt bend, insert the elastic. At the bottom, sew white stripes (as on the collar).

How to make a costume for a girl

Military suits are loved not only by boys, but also by girls. You sew a tunic and a tunic for the same type as for boys. And the bottom of the costume is done with a straight skirt or with folds. Straight cut is combined with a tunic, and a skirt with folds looks chic with a T-shirt.

To cut a straight skirt, you will need to measure the length of the product and the waist circumference. Calculate the width of the product. For this, the waist girth is multiplied by 1.33. For example, if the waist circumference is 53 cm, then after multiplying we get the value 70.49. We round off this number to the whole, we measure on the cloth 71 centimeters.

Cut two rectangles on the fabric. The first corresponds to the length of the skirt and waist circumference (in our version 71 centimeters). The second rectangle is for sewing a belt. To do this, measure the length of the waist circumference (in our case 53 centimeters), and width - 15 centimeters.

Both rectangles are connected in a circle separately. Belt folds neatly in half so that the loose ends are on top.

Straight Skirt

Thick elastic band (width 1.5-2 cm) along the waist circumference also connect in a circle. Insert it into the belt, connect both ends of the fabric to the machine. Now on the belt and skirt measure with pins 8 points. To do this, fold the product in half four times in different directions, pinning the place of folds on both sides with pins.

You connect the belt with the skirt, start to tuck the parts from one pin to the other, pulling the belt up to the mark on the skirt. Bend the bottom of the product, go through a zigzag stitch or machine seam "double needle".

If the fabric is expensive, you can save. Buy a t-shirt of military coloring on the child (wholesalers cost from 70 rubles per set). From it, make a straight skirt. To do this, prune the bottom of the T-shirt and the line of the armpit. Crop on it.

Fold the fabric, forming a belt, insert a wide rubber band. This model can be made from an adult shirt or T-shirt, cutting off excess fabric from the side. The skirt is ready, and with a tunic and a pilot's cap the real form (military) has turned out. The costume can be made easier from a T-shirt and a skirt with pleats.

Skirt with folds

Such a model is sewn as follows. Measure on the cut length of the skirt with allowance for allowances (about 3 centimeters). Width is calculated from the girth of the waist and the size of the folds. If you bought a cloth in the store, then you calculate based on its footage.

The wrinkles can be the same or the opposite, stitching with needles. See that the top corresponds to the waist circumference with the addition of 2 centimeters. Spread out the skirt, steal the folds, process the bottom of the article, sew the belt. It can be made on an elastic band or sew a secret zipper.

With a T-shirt and a cap, a good dance military suit will turn out. The female option to sew faster than the male. If you do not have the experience of cutting, then "every minute" try on your product on the child to avoid mistakes. Remember: only with practice comes experience.
