Character: Pierrot is a puppet from the puppet theater of Karabas Barabas from the famous fairy tale by Alexei Tolstoy "The Golden Key". "Knight of the sad image" Pierrot is selflessly in love with a doll with blue hair Malvina. He composes poetry for her and is ready to give his puppet life for her.
Costume: Pierrot is dressed in a white dress with huge black buttons, the long sleeves of which reach the knees, and white trousers. On his head is a cone-shaped cap.
For the manufacture of dresses you need a white cloth. Draw an enlarged drawing of the dress on paper (see Fig. 19 "Drawing of Pierrot's dress"), transfer the pattern to the fabric using simple pencil or tailor's chalk. Remember that the pattern is given without seam allowances and when cutting, you need to add 1 cm on each side. Overcast the sections of the middle seam of the back. Sew the right and left sides of the back, leaving a slit for the fastener. Iron out the seam. Stitch shoulder seams. Overcast shoulder seams. Cut out the neckline from the fabric. Stitch the facings together along the shoulder seams. Put a single facing on the neckline face to face and stitch along the edge. Turn the facing to the wrong side and iron. Overcast the departure of the facing. On the sleeves, overcast the slits for the hands. Stitch the main part of the dress with the sleeves and overcast the seam. Stitch the side seam of the dress and the bottom seam of the sleeve at the same time and overcast. Fold up the bottom of the dress and sleeves. Sew a button and a loop on the back of the slit under the fastener.

Craft pom poms- 6 black and 6 white as follows: cut a circle with a diameter of 10 cm from the fabric and gather along the edge with a “needle forward” stitch, pull the thread, after inserting a piece of cotton wool inside the pompom, make a few stitches to secure. Sew ready-made pompoms on the bottom of the sleeves, six pieces each, alternating white and black.
For making large buttons cut out circles with a diameter of 7 cm from black fabric (two for each button). Fold the circles face to face and stitch along the edge, leaving a distance of 2-3 cm for turning out. Turn the button right side out, stuff with cotton and carefully sew up the left incision. Sew buttons to the dress according to the indicated marks (see Fig. 19 "Drawing of Pierrot's dress").
Bertha can be made of lace 10-12 cm wide or ordinary nylon or corrugated ribbon for bows, it will take 3 m. Collect the collar on a thin elastic band, making punctures at a distance of 1 cm from the edge of the ribbon, the punctures are located at a distance of 7 cm from each other. Pull the elastic band to the size of the child's neck. Sew the ends of the mite together.
As trousers Pierrot can wear any light trousers. If there is a desire to be as similar as possible to the pas of a book hero, then white trousers are easy to sew on your own. To do this, you need to draw a pattern (see Fig. 20 “Drawing of trousers and a Pierrot cap”) on paper, and then transfer it to the fabric, adding allowances for the seams. Stitch the crotch seams and overcast them. Stitch the middle seam and overcast it. Bend the upper cut (belt) of the trousers at a distance sufficient to thread the elastic. Fold up the bottom of your pants. Pass the elastic through the waistband of your trousers.
Headdress can be made from thick paper. Cut out the detail of the cap and glue the cone according to the allowance. Make pom-poms (or buttons) from black fabric using the above method. Glue the pom-poms to the cap with glue or sew. Instead of pompoms, you can simply glue the usual black paper circles.
Makeup: With all his appearance, Pierrot shows that sadness is his usual state. If possible, you can make up the child’s face with white using theatrical makeup, and draw a large black tear on one cheek under the eye. You can limit yourself to only a tear drawn with my mother's eyeliner pencil.

Here you can also use an unnecessary attribute from the closet. Pointed edges should be trimmed to make them more rounded. As pants, you can use unnecessary trousers, jeans or sports tights (red, black or blue).
The main element of the pirate costume is a cocked hat. The base can be printed and cut out, it will be needed for the stencil. According to the workpiece, we cut out a cocked hat on non-woven fabric. For greater stability, cardboard can be glued on the wrong side.

In addition to the costume, a thick false beard is also added. The cute gnome is ready.
Heroes of the Wild West fell in love with many boys. On New Year's Eve, you can make the dream of a little defender come true by making an outfit for a brave and strong cowboy.
For sewing trousers and a vest, you will need brown suede fabric. We take measurements for patterns using other products. It should be remembered that cowboys preferred flared trousers that did not hinder movement. We impose measurements, retreating a few centimeters from the main product, cut it out. We chop off with safety pins from the wrong side and skip the line on the sewing machine.
Don't forget the fringe: cowboys preferred to decorate their costumes with additional fittings. On a piece of fabric, we measure segments of 1 centimeter, cut them out. The fringe can be sewn to the crotch of trousers, on a vest or shirt sleeves.
A pistol holster at the waist, a black hat and a thin bandana around the neck will serve as an addition.
Advice! Instead of suede trousers, you can use old jeans.
Many boys are fond of the theme of the Middle Ages, inspired by stories from cartoons and fairy tales. For the celebration of the New Year, the image of a bold and brave knight is suitable.
The clothes of a real knight were heavy and reliable chain mail. To create a festive outfit, silver or gray fabric is suitable. We cut out a kind of vest from it approximately to the middle of the thigh, make a cut for the head and sleeves. The bottom of the product must be further worked out: make peculiar cuts or cut out turrets.
The chest is decorated with the family coat of arms. To do this, you can print your favorite pattern, transfer it to the fabric. A coat of arms stencil will also come in handy when designing a shield. We transfer the drawings to a bright fabric, cut out all the components. Sew to the cape. Any black sweatshirt or pullover will fit under the bottom.
The shield can be found in any warrior's toy box. Using a stencil, we decorate the shield with the family coat of arms.
It remains to add the finishing touches - a sword and a helmet. The costume of the faithful and brave knight is ready.
Advice! The shield and sword can be replaced with a crossbow and a bag of arrows.
Conclusion
The celebration of the New Year for each child creates a special feeling of a fairy tale and a miracle. Carnival costumes of various heroes will help every mischievous boy remember the holiday as a special and important event.
“Ah, Arlekino, Arlekino needs to be funny for everyone ...” - who doesn’t come up with these lines from Alla Pugacheva’s song when mentioning the name of this character ?! However, if it is necessary to make a Harlequin costume, many may be confused, because not everyone knows what his outfit looks like.
Distinctive features of the costume
Meanwhile, Harlequin (or Harlequin) is a character known not only for a cheerful song. Initially, this is the hero of the traditional Italian commedia dell'arte, which means "comedy of masks." Such a theater has existed in Italy since the 16th century, and it involved actors dressed in masks, who mostly improvised on stage than played prepared parts. It was from that time that the invariable attribute of the Harlequin was a bright outfit made of fabric in a pattern with multi-colored rhombuses. Harlequin is essentially a servant who amuses his master, and multi-colored rhombuses on his shirt and pants symbolize only patches. By the way, such a print is now also called "Harlequin", so it would be more than appropriate to use fabric with multi-colored rhombuses for sewing a carnival costume.
Also, if you are planning to make a traditional Italian Harlequin costume, you will also need a mask. Traditionally, she was black in color, with a large wart, strongly pronounced eyebrows and forehead, and disheveled hair. However, if your task is to make carnival costumes for boysfor a matinee, then such a mask will look too intimidating and is more suitable for a masquerade of older children or adults.
The second accessory of the traditional costume is a cap. Italian actors decorated it with a hare tail, but today a cap with two cones lowered down and bells at their ends is more recognizable.
Arlekino is perhaps the only character in Italian comedies who not only began to appear in theaters in other countries, but also firmly entered pop culture.
For Russian children and adults, Arlekino is better known as a character in Alexei Tolstoy's fairy tale "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio." Despite the fact that the character of Arlekino in the fairy tale is secondary, he is just a friend of Pierrot, his bright red suit in the film was remembered by many children.
Harlequin costume based on overalls
So, let's start creating a costume for this fun character. One option is to sew a jumpsuit in bright satin with a large collar and long cuffs on the arms and legs. If you couldn't find a fabric with rhombuses, then you can cut them out of another fabric and sew them over the suit. You can also take two pieces of bright fabric and sew a Harlequin costumefrom two different halves. The traditional colors in this case are red and yellow.
The easiest way to make a jumpsuit pattern is to trace any child's overalls on paper or directly on the fabric. Fold it in half lengthwise and circle it on fabric of the same color. Transfer the other half to a fabric of a different color. Add 7 cm to the length of the sleeves and legs for cuffs. Cut out the blanks, taking into account the seam allowance.
With help sewing machine stitch first in front of the suit, connecting two colored blanks, then also stitch the back. Sew the side and shoulder seams next. Overcast the edges of the sleeves and legs. Use a special thin elastic band that is used as a thread. She can sew cuffs to collect them with beautiful folds.
The clasp of the jumpsuit can be made on the back with a hidden zipper or sewn on with Velcro or buttons, with such clasps, carnival costumes for boysand girls are always more comfortable. You can also make a simple tie at the gate.
Pants and shirt suit
Another version of the Harlequin outfit - costumes for children, consisting of a wide belted shirt and trousers. To sew a shirt, a very simple pattern is enough. For example, circle any of your child's t-shirts, increase its width and the width of the sleeve, so that the outfit is spacious. Also, for simplicity, you can make the sleeve one-piece. The front and back of the shirt can be identical in cut, only the collar in front needs to be deepened a little more than in the back, so that the shirt can be easily put on over the head.
Pants can also be tailored to any pajama or sweatpants, or you can use a plain leotard. And a wide satin ribbon can serve as a belt for a shirt.
Collar Harlequin
New Year's costumes for children should be bright and recognizable, and the most noticeable detail of our character's costume is a wide accordion collar. Perfect for making this collar. corrugated paper. It is dense, keeps its shape well and will perfectly decorate the carnival baby suit arlekino. Simply cut a 150 x 15 cm rectangle out of paper. Fold the paper like an accordion and run a strong thread along one edge. Using thread, pull the accordion so that it folds into a round collar. Do not sew the edges, but attach Velcro to them so that the collar can be easily removed and put on.
How to sew a Harlequin hat?
To sew the Harlequin hat, use the same fabric as for the costume. If you sewed the main outfit from different fabrics, then use the same colors for the cap. First, measure the circumference of the child's head and the distance from ear to ear. Using these data, draw a square of a hat on the fabric and lengthen the corners upwards, so that you get horns. When finished, they will hang down, so you can lightly stuff them with padding polyester and sew bells to the ends.
It is even easier to make a hat out of paper - roll a wide strip of paper around the circumference of the head and glue horns with bells to it.
Makeup
To design the final image, you can use makeup, however, since the Harlequin costumebright on its own, some make-up may be required. For example, you can make ruddy red apple cheeks or draw diamonds on your face that repeat the pattern on the fabric.
As you can see, the creation of a Harlequin costume is possible even for those who do not know how to sew and cut. And you will need a minimum of materials, but the image of a child at the carnival will turn out to be bright and funny.
My experience in sewing a leather hat
1. We sew the skin patches together end-to-end with a zigzag stitch on a typewriter. I stitched twice, for reliability. To make this very "joint" smoother, I adjusted the pieces with scissors and a ruler. 
2. After you get a large leather fabric sewn from pieces, you should cut out the brim of our hat and tulle. The diameter of the fields is up to you, but with the tulle and the "hole for the head" it will be a little more difficult. You will have to remember the math, take a centimeter tape and measure your head. The resulting number is C. C=2Pr
Based on this formula, it is easy to find the radius of the circle to be cut. The resulting circle of skin will become the crown of your hat. 
3. Depending on the height of the cap of your future hat, you need to cut out a rectangle, the length of which will be equal to the circumference, that is, C. Sew it with the same zigzag stitch to make a ring: 
4. Sew these parts together. no longer a zigzag, but a regular line. Along the very edge. It turns out such a leather "bucket": 
5. We turn this cylinder to the other side and sew it with a straight line to the fields 
6. It remains to attach one of the fields to the cap of the hat using blocks. It turns out such a thing. Wear with pleasure!

Recently, a creative competition among kindergartens was held in our city, in which there were several nominations. In the first nomination, it was necessary to present a fairy tale character. And as the folk say wisdom: "Meet by clothes ...", then an important role for the contestants was played by suits.
« Costume- this is the second shell of the actor, this is something inseparable from his being, this is the visible mask of his stage image, which must merge so integrally with him in order to become inseparable.
A. Ya. Tairov.
Theater, as you know, begins with a hanger. For spectators - from the wardrobe, for artists - from the dressing room and dressing room. But costume artist is not just beautiful clothes, he "working", allowing you to better express and convey to the viewer the image created by the artist on stage.
To begin with, I needed a material of two contrasting colors, for me it was orange and blue. basis costume is a jumpsuit. I sewed it from two halves of different colors.
Since the material was monophonic, I had to halves suit glue rhombuses and circles in a contrasting color, and then sew the halves. And that's what happened.
I made the sleeves and trousers longer than necessary, then cut out the edges with cloves and attached colored pompoms to the corners.
It remains to add details.
First, I made a skirt, cutting out each rhombus separately and sewing them one by one. Each wedge was decorated with contrasting circles, which I pasted with the help of a cobweb and an iron. I also sewed pompoms on the ends, inserted an elastic band into the skirt. One more element suit ready.
Now it's the turn of the collar. I made it in the same way as the skirt, only instead of elastic, the collar is attached to the buttons, which I sewed on the wrong side. It turned out like this.
The cap remains. For him, at first I drew a template on paper. I transferred it to the fabric and sewed it, also alternating colors. I again sewed contrasting pom-poms on the ends, as on the legs and sleeves.
I put an elastic band on the bottom of the cap so that it does not fall during the performance. In the middle I stuffed a synthetic winterizer.
like this « harlequin» I got it!
I wish you all creative success and prizes!
