In this article we will look at how to sew a Batman costume for a boy with our own hands.

How to make a Batman costume with your own hands

The components of the costume will be: blouse, trousers, cape, wide belt, mask.

Required materials for sewing:

4 types of material:

1. Stretch velor (black);
2. Satin (black);
3. Gold brocade material;
4. A piece of fake leather (black).

• • Plastic mask (black).
  • Black and gold sequin trim.
  • Sintepon.
  • Glue gun.

You will see how to make a Batman costume in a detailed master class:

1. We sew a blouse from velor. We are making a pattern.
   To make creating a pattern easier, you can simply lay your child’s T-shirt on the paper and trace it. We do the same with the sleeves - we transfer the shape of the sleeve head onto paper and lengthen the sleeve to the desired length, slightly tapering towards the bottom. Special precision in the pattern is not needed. The fabric is stretchy and will fit well on the body.
2. Fold the material in half, inside out, and transfer the template to the material. Cut out all the details. Be sure to leave 1 centimeter for the seams.
3. Making muscles. Along the upper part of the paper template (chest), we cut out a piece of padding polyester for future voluminous muscles and inflated “cubes”, which we stitch with a large check. Similarly, we make “biceps” on the upper part of the sleeves. Sew to fabric.
4. We connect the front and back halves, sew together the shoulders and sides. We sew in the sleeves.
5. We hem the bottom of the blouse and sleeves.
6. We process the neckline using strips of crepe-satin, and fasten it with a button at the back.
7. We decorate the blouse.
   Chest patch:
   We take the template from the Internet. Cut out a bat from black leather. We make a golden oval from gold brocade. We glue the leather mouse onto gold material. We attach the oval to the blouse using a machine. We trim the contour with gold sequins.
   Making a belt:
   From gold-colored material, cut out a strip of 24 cm x V of the boy’s waist + 5 centimeters.
   Fold in half lengthwise and stitch. On the back side of the belt, on the inside, we sew elastic in three rows from side to side. Thanks to this, the belt will fit tightly around the waist.
   We make a copy of the emblem using leather and glue it in the center of the belt. Using black sequins, we lay out an oval line around the leather mouse.
8. Let's make a mask.
   We take a purchased plastic blank. We cut off all excess. Our task is to complement it with protruding “Batman” ears.
   Cut out the ear pattern from paper. We transfer it to the skin, folded in half, and cut it out.
   We reinforce it with cardboard placed inside the leather ears. Glue the ears together and glue them to the template.
9. We sew a hood for the mask from velor and attach it to the mask. We try it on the child and sew it under the beard. The helmet is ready.
10. We make a cape.
    To sew a Batman cape, a pattern is not required.
    The Batman cape is made with your own hands like this: lay out a piece of satin on the table, fold it in two layers, again in 2 layers and cut it out in a semicircle. Cut the cloves on the rounded side. Unfold the fabric and adjust the teeth. We burn the edges of the candles.
    We make a collar with a button and sew it to the raincoat.
11. Pants.
    The principle of execution is the same as for a jacket. We take the baby’s favorite pants, make a template using them, transfer them to velor, cut them and sew them together. We insert an elastic band into the legs.

As you can see, it’s quite possible to sew a Batman costume with your own hands. The accuracy of the template is not necessary, because a child’s costume is sewn one time at a time. Next year he will already be small.
