New Year's costume "Clown" in an hour

A situation familiar to every second person: the pre-holiday bustle and trotting around grocery and souvenir shops distracted from more important acquisitions. It so happened that tomorrow is a children's party, but the New Year's masquerade has not been purchased. Don’t be upset and don’t let your child be sad because of such a little thing! You can make an outfit for your baby from what you have on hand. For example, a clown costume from my mother’s old dress. Very quickly, without material costs and special skills. All you need is a wild imagination and an hour of time.

Materials for work:
• Old (preferably very bright) mother’s dress – 1 piece;
• Elastic narrow tape (elastic band) – 35 cm;
• Remains of brightly colored knitting threads – several balls;
• Thread, needle, sewing machine.

Stages of work:

First stage: preparing the base.
We are looking for a suitable dress in my mother’s old things.

Unzip the zipper on the back half of the dress from bottom to top by 20-25 centimeters.

We cut the front half of the dress (hem) to approximately the same distance. If there is no zipper on the dress, then an incision must be made on both the front and back halves of the hem.

Second stage: forming the trouser legs.
We turn the dress to the left side.

We connect the front and back parts of the dress along the cut line.

Using the front part of the cut, we “wrap” the zipper.

Stepping back 1 centimeter from the edge, sew the connected parts of the cut.

At the junction of the cut, we make a seam perpendicular to the bottom line of the dress.

The result is the legs of the overalls.

Cut the elastic tape in half.

We sew an elastic band along the bottom edge of each pant leg, pulling it tight.

The result is an assembly that does not allow the pant leg to fall off. This is why the length of the dress does not matter.

Third stage: making pom-poms.
Cut out two circles from cardboard. Cut out small circles in the center of each circle (the smaller the inner circle, the larger the pompom you will get). Cut out part of the side of the circle.

We select the remaining knitting threads that match the color.

Place a thread on one cardboard circle across the entire width (2-3 layers), leaving the edges on the cut-out line of the side of the large circle.

We place the second cardboard circle on top of the thread, matching the cutout lines.

We insert scissors between the cardboard circles and cut the winding.

We tie the ends of the thread inserted inside the cardboard circles into a knot, pulling it tightly. It turns out a pompom with a tail.

If you wrap cardboard circles with threads of different colors, the pompom will turn out to be multi-colored.

In total we make 2 pom-poms of one color and 3 of multi-colored ones.

Stage four: connecting the parts.
We wrap the pompom tail around the shoulders of the dress and make several knots.

Thus, we shortened the length of the dress's yoke so that the baby's hand would not fall out of the adult armhole.

We sew the remaining pompoms in the center of the front of the dress.

That's all! The kid is happy that there is something to show off to Santa Claus, the mother is happy that she spent little time, made a unique suit, and didn’t have to throw away the dress, the dad is happy with the integrity of the family budget.
