Stages of creating a children's firefighter uniform
First of all, you need to mentally see the finished outfit, its shape, color. Then turn your planned project into reality.
Children's firefighter costume
For it you need:
1. Take measurements from the child.
2. A sketch of the overalls is drawn onto paper based on the measurements taken. If you want to surprise your child, it is possible to transfer a sketch from the baby’s suitable clothes.In this case, the sleeves and trouser legs are made a little looser than in the sample.
3. The completed design is cut out and pinned onto the prepared canvas. The outline is outlined with chalk.
Attention! When making an outline, we must not forget about the tolerances for seams with a width of 5-7 mm, depending on the density and flowability of the material.
4. The product blank is cut along the line. Then it needs to be swept away and turned right side out.
5. On the sleeves, chest, back and trousers there are ribbon strips of a contrasting shade, preferably with a luminescent or silver coating. They also need to be baited; hide the edges in the side seams. Check the accuracy of the fit of the ribbons, sew with a double stitch.
6. From the wrong side, use a sewing machine to stitch and overcast the seams. Stitch the cuffs, bottom of the jacket and trousers. Sew the collar.
7. Tuck and hem the waistband of the trousers. Thread the elastic band.
8. To make the sewn firefighter uniform look more realistic, stick the EMERCOM or 01 logos on the chest and back.
Making a headdress
A hard hat or helmet will protect the young EMERCOM officer from injury while putting out a fire. Therefore, its creation must be approached with all seriousness.
First of all, measure the circumference of the boy's head, covering the forehead and the back of the head. This will be the base of the product. To find out its height, the distance from the forehead to the middle of the crown is measured.
On cardboard draw two parallel lines corresponding to the girth length + 2 cm and fasten the edges with a stapler or glue. The result is a ring.
Now we need to draw triangles, where the base is 2 cm, and the length of each side is equal to the height of the headdress + 2 cm. The result is an isosceles triangle. Carefully cut out the petals with scissors and glue them to the prepared rim.The result is a crown with identical teeth.
To assemble the frame, you need to connect and glue the tops of the petals. After the connected parts have dried, cover the workpiece with whatman paper and paint it with gouache red. Attach a cockade to the front.
The balaclava is cut from the same fabric as the main decoration. It is attached to the back of the bottom of the finished helmet and should reach the middle of the shoulder blades, while covering the neck.
Accessories
To give your child more joy and pleasure, the fire extinguisher must be equipped with the proper equipment. First of all, this is a fire extinguisher, which can be made from a plastic bottle covered with bright red paper.
Cut an ax out of painted cardboard and buy a walkie-talkie at a toy store. Attach all these attributes to the belt that surrounds your firefighter hero.
By participating in the process of sewing a fire tamer uniform, the boy will receive true satisfaction. His dream has come true, he is a real firefighter. And let this suit not look as elegant as one bought in a store. The main thing is that it was made with your own hands, albeit with the help of your parents.
