I saved the Pumpkin's house from Lemon and Cherry. Not afraid of Orange Onion, cheerful Cippolino! Oh, we’ll cry with him, If we want to clean it. But bitter onions will cure us of a hundred ailments!
This bitter root crop grew in the heat and slush. Although it will make us cry, it will save us from the flu.
CARNIVAL COSTUME “CIPOLLINO”
(“ONION”) consists of the elements:
1. Straight trousers with straps 2. Shirt 3. Onion cap
Recommendations for choosing fabrics
Lining fabric is ideal for making a suit. Its advantages: affordable price, ease of processing, large selection of colors, bright shades. Prepare yellow and green fabric. To duplicate the cap and voluminous appliqué, you will need a thin padding polyester and a large yellow button.
Description of work
Trousers. Consists of parts: front half of trousers, back half of trousers, strap (7 cm wide), leaves.
1. Prepare a pattern for the front and back halves. The ideal option is straight pants with elastic (pajama pants). Open it up. Sew the side seams. Mark a line a few centimeters above the knee. Place the leaves on the product face to face, i.e. with the sharp end up and position them so that the dotted line on them coincides with yours. Stitch it up. No need to iron. Now complete the instep stitches. Insert an elastic band into the drawstring and try on the trousers. Hem the bottom of the product. 2. Prepare a strap 7 cm wide (finished), adjust the length, sew. The button on the belt is decorative; the loop does not need to be made.
Shirt.
Cut and sew the shirt according to the pattern and description from any sewing magazine. Before sewing the sleeve seams, sew the leaves (see description of the trousers). Also baste the leaves to the neck (wrong side to the front side). Finish the neckline with a roll, the ends of which are also ties. The back can be decorated with a voluminous applique (the “Bow” motif, see Appendix 1); to do this, place a thin padding polyester under the applique details before stitching.
Onion cap.
We cut out a rectangle from yellow fabric, the width of which is 50 cm, and the length corresponds to the circumference of the child’s head (L) + 3 cm for seams.
Fold in half lengthwise and iron.
We cut out a rectangle measuring 25xL cm from thin padding polyester and put it inside. We fix it in several places with a needle. We perform decorative stitching. If the machine does not perform decorative stitches, you can embroider by hand using a stem stitch. We make the middle seam. To make “onion feathers” we sew thin tubes and stuff them tightly with synthetic padding. We pull the cap tightly along the top edge, after inserting the feathers. Application. Motif "Bow".

What you need to make your own bow costume
To make an outfit you may need various materials and equipment. Ultimately, everything will depend on the chosen sewing technology. Therefore, first you should carefully study the design features of the selected option. The most commonly used materials for making a suit:
- Ready-made clothes in suitable colors, which can later be decorated;
- Fabric for sewing;
- Sewing supplies (threads, needles, pins, etc.);
- Paper, ruler, pencil, measuring tape for taking measurements and making patterns;
- Finished pattern;
- Paints for fabric and paper;
- Colored paper, cardboard;
- Stationery.
For sewing, completely different types of materials that are convenient for sewing can be used. You can even use faux fur material to add volume and texture. However, don't forget that holiday events are about play and fun. Therefore, it is better to choose lighter materials in which the child will be comfortable running and jumping. The best fabrics are felt and cotton. Felt is very convenient because its edges do not crumble and it does not require additional processing of the cuts.

How to make a bow costume
There are many options for making this type of suit. Let's look at some of them. One simple option is a suit consisting of yellow shorts with a green strap with one button. On the head there should be a cone-shaped hat with a spectacular decor in the form of onion feathers. Follow the following sequence of actions:
- First you need to draw a pattern. To do this, you can take any children's shorts and trace them on paper. Adjusting the length and height of the belt is easy;
- Cut out the strap. To do this, you need to take the necessary measurements so that it fits the child well in size. If you are not sure, then it is better to take its length with a reserve, and after trying it on, make the necessary adjustments. Its width should be 5-7 cm;
- We connect the side sections of the shorts and think about processing the belt. This could be an elastic band or an opening with a zipper or button. Also, if necessary, we process the lower cut of the legs;
- One side of the strap should be sewn to the back of the shorts, and the other should be fastened with a button on the front. It is better to take a large button to make it easier for the child to unbutton the clothes.
Those craftswomen who already have basic sewing skills can choose a suit made of satin or satin. This material is more difficult to work with, because... it is smooth and slippery. But it looks very bright and impressive. Manufacturing stages:
- The costume consists of trousers with an elastic waistband. The pattern can also be taken from the finished product and added an additional 5-10 cm on each side in width, because pants should be voluminous;
- We sew the side sections together;
- The waistband will have an elastic band and we will also sew an elastic band to each pant leg at the bottom;
- To sew a sweater, take a rectangular piece of fabric and fold it in half;
- At the top we make a notch for the neck and hem the cut. We insert an elastic band inside to make the blouse comfortable to put on;
- The bottom can also be gathered using an elastic band, or you can leave it straight by processing the bottom edge of the material;
- The side sections are connected to each other;
- Don't forget to leave room for your hands. It is also better to process the armhole using an elastic band;
- Next, we make a beret-shaped hat. To do this, cut out a circle. We cut out a green strip of length equal to the circumference of the child’s head;
- Hand sew the edge of the circle with large stitches. Next, the circle is cut to the length of the green strip;
- The strip is sewn along the diameter of the circle;
- Next, decorative ornaments and other accessories are added.
Attention! At each stage of production, the costume can be measured for the child and the necessary adjustments can be made.
There are many fans of a wide version of this outfit. To make it, you need to make a sweater pattern in the shape of a trapezoid. The jacket should expand downwards. The neckline is cinched with elastic. Wide sleeves look beautiful on this product. If the clothing is sleeveless, then underneath you can wear a plain white or orange badge.
For this option, you should make a large collar with sharp corners in green. This is a small and painstaking job, during which you will have to separately sew the triangular corners together from the inside out, and then turn them right side out. Next, they are sewn onto the neck line from the wrong side. You can cut triangles out of felt. Then they can simply be sewn on, without additional processing, and the corners can be easily adjusted with scissors on the product itself.
