She will go on making belts and trimming. Also should be stocked with a thin sintepon, fleece, elastic band (elastic band) and fishing line.
Stages of work
Find any ready-made pattern, cut out andSew a blouse on it. She should have a lush sleeve-flashlights. Taking a green cloth, cut out small leaves, strengthen with non-woven fleece and sweep to the bottom of the sleeves.
Dissolve and sew a short skirt-sun. The further scheme of the work will be as follows: an elastic band (elastic band) is inserted into the waistband made at the waist. A narrow zig-zag pattern is used to process the bottom of the skirt. A fishing line is inserted into the seam door. This will allow the skirt to lie in beautiful waves. Then sew the bottom skirt. You will agree that it's quite easy to make a Thumbelina suit with your own hands.
The next item on the line is the belt. Therefore, proceed to cut out the large leaves. Details should be obtained two. They are folded on the sides, the same detail is superimposed on them (a sintepon is used to cut it out). The parts are sewn, while the straight upper part remains open. The sheet is turned out by the front part, it is not necessary to iron it. A decorative stitch is laid, it imitates the veins of the leaf. Remained a little more work and New Year's costume Thumbelina will be ready.
Harness belt (length 110-150 centimeters andwidth 12-15 centimeters) is folded along the length in half, along the short sections a line is laid. On a long piece of belt, you do not need to stitch a section that is equal to the waist circumference. Unscrew the belt, iron it. In the area left open, put decorative leaves and stitch it. At the back of the belt tie a lush bow. It remains for us to make the last detail for the Thumbelina suit - bonnet.
The head of the fairy-tale heroine must bedecorated with a cap in the form of a bell. The headdress will be six-wedged. To ensure that its details match the size of the child's head, you need to measure the volume of the latter. The resulting figure is divided into six, and two centimeters are added to the seams. The finished pattern is cut from the paper and transferred to the fabric. We should have six petals. Then the wedges of the hats are folded up by the sides, threaded. The details are turned out, the seams need to be ironed. The lining is made. For it can be taken the same fabric and based on the same pattern, or other contrast material.
The relief of each seam is trimmed with braid orcord (its color can be gray, green, blue). To decorate the hat, a leaf or stalk is made of materials such as gypsum, tulle, silk, organza. So, the Thumbelina suit for a girl is ready.
