Do-it-yourself snake costume according to free patterns by Vera Olkhovskaya

new year snake costume 01So, we celebrate the New Year in the costume of the Snake.new year snake costume 2

By popular demand of visitors to the site "Couturier" I publish free pattern headgear "Cobra", which is very easy to sew with your own hands, even for beginner tailors (photo 1, fig. 1).

In my opinion, other toiletry items do not have to imitate a snake.

They can repeat the oriental outfit (for a girl this is the Dancer's costume - photo 2, for the boy - Aladdin in photo 3) or, if you like, the costume of the Snake Charmer.

How to cut and sew a headdress for the New Year's Cobra costume.

new year snake costume 3You will need 50 cm of "dark" fabric for the snake's back and 50 cm of "light" fabric for the snake's abdomen.

We also use regilin to strengthen the frame.

It is desirable to duplicate the back.

To add volume, you can use a synthetic winterizer.

The sequence of work is as follows.

We cut out the duplicate exactly to the pattern without seam allowances, but transfer the notches to it that we see on the pattern, glue the doubler on the “light” fabric and then cut out the abdomen with an allowance of 1 cm.

At the same time, we do not add an allowance to the synthetic winterizer and cut it out exactly along the contour of the abdomen, and for the back we add an allowance of 1 cm - 1,5 cm.

We put the same notches on the details of the back as on the dubbing and abdomen.

On the abdomen we adjust regilin according to the scheme in fig. 2, and on the details of the back we make an application or painting with fabric paints.

To the abdomen, you can immediately sew a gel gum (transparent) or adapt other methods of fastening.

For example, a baseball cap or other cap attached to the part of the abdomen will greatly facilitate the process of putting the cobra on the head.

In addition, before grinding, it is desirable to make and attach the tongue.

We baste the synthetic winterizer with large oblique stitches up to 5 cm also on the abdomen and grind the “top” and “bottom” of the cobra, combining the notches.

new year snake costume 6Attention! Our back is larger than the abdomen, so it must fit!

For tailors with a lack of experience, it is recommended to first sweep the parts to be sewn, aligning the notches.

Of course, you should leave a hole for eversion.

Because of the "skeleton" it should be large and should be done in the "hood" area.

When the cobra is turned out, we sew up the hole, fasten the teeth and eyes.

Done!

If you have a Snake Charmer or Snake Temple Priestess costume, you can make a turban.

It is convenient to wrap it around a baseball cap without a visor and fix it on it.
