On the eve of the matinees, preparations begin in the kindergarten. Parents have a very difficult time during the holidays, because a lot of responsibility falls on their shoulders. Preparing the child, learning songs and poems - all this requires time and enormous effort. There is practically no time left for the most important thing for a child - outfit. And the little girl really wants to look like a real princess, even in a pumpkin costume. How to make an elegant pumpkin costume so that a girl will like it, and not spend a lot of time on it. We'll find out now.
Sew a pumpkin costume for a girl
Analyze the suit itself. Much can be supplemented with things from your own child’s wardrobe. For example, you can take black shoes and black or green tights, if available. The costume will need a headband, it can be made of a variety of flowers, it is important that the colors are black, orange or green. This is the only way it will complement the image of the entire suit. It's very hot in a hat, it's better to have a light bandage. You can use a green satin ribbon and simply tie it in a beautiful bow on your head.
Materials and tools
To work you will need:
- orange T-shirt;
- orange tulle 1-2 m;
- satin tape;
- black felt;
- threads and needles (glue).
“T-shirt decoration” stage
For the top you can use an orange T-shirt. You need to cut out two triangles from felt for the eyes, a square for the nose and a boat-shaped mouth with square cutouts for the teeth. All these figures can be glued or sewn using black threads.
Stage “rim”
Using a decorative black elastic band and a satin ribbon, you can make your own headband for a girl. Make petals using the kanzashi technique for the flower and sew them to a decorative elastic band. You can use glue.
When using glue, the product becomes heavier and the petals will not last as long as those sewn with thread.
Skirt stage
Measure the satin ribbon to the required length (waist circumference plus 50 cm for the bow). Cut and burn the edges a little so that the ribbon does not unravel.

Sundress/dress in the shape of a pumpkin
A one-piece pumpkin costume is a small sundress. It also won’t take much time, and your daughter will definitely thank you. And the product is so nice that you simply won’t want to leave the party. And how many cool photos you can take for the girl!
The most interesting thing is that the costume turns out to be very budget-friendly, since you only need a meter of fabric, a little felt and ribbon.
The very simple pattern is impressive. Even if mom is not a craftswoman, she can make this pumpkin. The child's chest circumference and hip circumference were measured. Multiply the indicator by 2 - this is the side of the square.Next, fold the fabric in half and make a small incision in the bend, no more than 10 cm (armhole for the sleeve).
There is an elastic band along the bottom of the product, forI will need to make a pocket for it. We folded the bottom of the product by 4 cm and stitched it. We did the same with the top part of the pumpkin. Only here will the satin ribbon be threaded further.
We made another seam - we stitched the side part, leaving 10 cm for the armhole. All that remains is to insert an elastic band, ribbon and decorate with felt.
Stage “decoration”
We make the decoration from black felt. You need to cut out triangles - three pieces (two for the eyes and one for the nose). The mouth can be cut in the shape of a boat with one notch for the tooth. All these details can be sewn on with black thread using neat stitches or done on a machine.
Headdress
An original and not too warm headdress for a pumpkin costume is a headband with a pumpkin-shaped appliqué. A little felt in orange, black and green will come in handy. These steps will help you do it quickly and easily:
Step 1. We measured the circumference of the child's head and cut out a circle with a similar circumference. We repeated the pattern. Fold the right sides inward and stitch in a circle, do not sew the seam all the way through - leave 10 cm.
Step 2. Turn the product inside out and stuff it with a small amount of cotton wool or other lightweight filler.
Step 3. We finished the seam where we left 10 cm. We marked the lines for the diagonal seams with soap and machine-stitched the resulting pad. You can use a contrasting thread.
Step 4. We cut out a square of black felt and rolled it into a tube. This will be the tail at the very top of the hat.
Step 5. A leaf of any shape was cut out of green felt and also sewn to the top of the product. All that remains is to attach the applique to the headband or decorative elastic band.
This is such an interesting pumpkin, thanks to the efforts of the master. Therefore, we do not despair that there is so little time left before the celebration, we purchase all the necessary materials and make the child’s holiday bright and memorable. Let him have fun and ease in the new suit that his parents carefully made for him. And don't let the difficulties scare you.
