Moms dress their children with cute animals for the holidays. The image of a teddy bear for a boy is more than ever welcome.
Today's master class is devoted to the question: how to sew a bear costume with your own hands for a boy.
DIY bear costume for a boy: materials and tools
The fabric from which the suit is sewn should be breathable, and if it is faux fur, then the knitting should be loose and loose. This is in case you want to sew a suit out of an old thick plaid that looks exactly like a bear skin. If the material is too dense, the child will sweat quickly. In this state, the baby will not want to have fun at the holiday. For the same reason, this master class offers a separate version of the suit, where the vest and pants are sewn separately.For sewing, you will need the following materials and tools:
The top or front fabric is brown or beige, terry or fleecy (the length of the pile does not matter);
The bottom or inner fabric does not matter what color, the main thing is that it be made of natural material (linen, poplin, satin, cotton);
Plastic eyes and nose to represent a muzzle or ear rim;
Strong threads, scissors, measuring tape, sewing machine.
If you have a plain natural dense fabric or satin, then the bottom or inner fabric is not needed.
DIY bear costume for a boy: a separate costume
For this costume, you will need to sew a vest, shorts or pants and a hat or ears on the headband. Boots and mittens are sewn at will. A child without them will look like a bear. At the request of the parents, the image can be supplemented with little things.So, for example: a vest can be sewn both with ties and one-piece, with a bow around the neck and a fabric of a different color on the chest and stomach.
Option 1
Here is a solution for making a costume can be offered from brown satin fabric.![](https://i0.wp.com/alebed.org/uploads/posts/articles4/kostyum_medvedya_svoimi_rukami_dlya_malchika_sposobi_shitya_kak_sdelat_udobnij_kostyum_medvedya_svoimi_rukami_2.jpg)
For this product you will need a piece of fleece fabric, satin fabric, a red bow or fabric on a bow, and a wide elastic band.
Stage 1
Before drawing the pattern, measure your child with a measuring tape. You will need to know the height of the jacket (from shoulder to hip), sleeve length, arm circumference, collar circumference, shoulder width (from collar to shoulder angle), chest circumference. For pants: thigh circumference, leg length from the waist to the ankle (if these are shorts, then to the knee), the length of the inside of the leg (from the groin to the ankle), leg circumference.
Stage 2
Measure the fabric, draw the details and cut them out of the fabric. You should get: two parts of the jacket (front and back), two parts of the sleeve, two parts of the pants. Note that the front of the sweater should be cut out of the fleece fabric.
This pattern of pants is the easiest and fastest.
Stage 3
Sew together the front and back of the jacket. Sew the sleeves into the arm holes.
Sew the details of the pants together along the upper side cuts. Scroll the product so that the seam lies between the parts, and the two parts lie on the sides of the seam folded in half. In this position, stitch each piece separately. This seam will go between the legs.
Stage 4
Tuck the cut-off part of the sleeves and the bottom of the sweater and sew, stepping back from the edge one centimeter. Fold and stitch the waistband and leg opening in the same way.
Insert a wide elastic band into the sleeves and waist on the jacket. Insert the same into the pants at the waist and legs.
Stage 5
Sew a ready-made butterfly to the neck. If you do not have a purchased butterfly, then you can make it yourself.
You will need a 20 x 20 cm square of fabric for a bow and a 5 x 10 cm strip of the same fabric. Sew together two opposite edges of a large square and turn the seam so that it lies in the middle of the resulting tube, and not on the side. Turn inside out and iron the fabric tube.
From the strip, in exactly the same way, make a small circle. Insert a large circle into a small one and stretch exactly to the middle. Butterfly is ready. You can safely sew it to the bear costume.
Option 2

For this type of costume, the vest is worn wide open.
Stage 1
Choose a fabric and apply vest details to it. If you chose a fabric with faux fur for such a suit, then a natural fabric lining is usually sewn on its inside. And this means that if you sew in the lining, then the patterns must be duplicated. That is, the drawing of the details is applied both to the front fabric with artificial fur, and to the lining or inner.
For sewing, you need to get two parts of the front side and one part of the back side of the vest from the front part and exactly the same parts from the inner fabric.
Draw the outline of the details for sewing pants or shorts on the fabric.
Stage 2
Cut out the resulting parts and sew together the parts from the inner fabric and separately from the outer fabric. The vest is sewn on the shoulder and on the side.
It’s worth mentioning right away that shorts or pants are sewn according to the same principle as in the first version of the suit.
Stage 3
If you are sewing a product without a second inner layer, then turn all cut edges (sleeve, neck, hem, trouser leg and belt on pants) inward by one or two turns and sew, stepping back from the edge no more than one centimeter.
If you decide to sew a suit from two layers (inner and outer), then assemble the resulting parts together. Fold the pants sewn from the inner fabric with the pants from the artificial border right side to the front. Sew along the cut edge, namely at the waist and at the legs. Do the same with the vest.
Leave a small piece (15-20cm) unstitched. Turn your pants and vest inside out through these holes. Hand-sew the unstitched section of the fabric with a blind seam.
DIY bear costume for a boy: hat or headband with ears
In order to make it clear that you have a bear in front of you, and not another animal, you need to sew a hat with the face and ears of a bear.Stage 1
In order to sew a bear hat, you need to measure the circumference and depth of the child's head.
Stage 2
Apply a pattern of a hat, ears and muzzle to the fabric according to the following pattern.
Stage 3
Cut out the resulting parts and sew together. Pre-sewn ears are inserted into the ear holes, and the seam is stitched on a sewing machine.
Turn the bottom edge of the hat over and sew around the entire circumference.
Stage 4
Sew the muzzle onto the front of the hat, leaving a small section unsewn. Through it, push a lot of filler under the fabric and finish the left segment. These will be the cheeks of the bear. He has large ones, so the larger the shape, the better.
Sew the nose and eyes in place. The hat with the bear's face is ready.
If you don't feel like messing around with sewing a hat, you can make bear ears and attach them to the rim.
According to the scheme above, only the ears are cut out and sewn together. The bottom edge is not stitched. The ears are turned inside out and put on the rim with the lower edge. Sew up the cut edge so that the rim remains hidden inside between the fabrics.

New Year is coming soon and you need to make a teddy bear costume for a matinee? The cost of a good costume is rather big, and every second child will wear such an outfit. Today we want to talk about how to make a bear with your own hands.
If you have sewing skills, you can start making a bear outfit from scratch. But manufacturing takes a lot of time, so if you have it in short supply, you can choose a faster option for making an outfit.
For example, you can make it from improvised material. You can make a bear costume for a boy from a sweatshirt with a zipper, preferably with a hood. Also for the manufacture of the costume you need pants made of soft fabric. The color scheme of the sweater is not particularly important, because it will be greatly changed.
In addition, to make an outfit, you need a brown fabric and matching threads. When buying material, keep in mind that you need to completely cover the jacket. You don’t even have to make a pattern, because our task is simply to wrap the old sweater in a new fabric.
Wash the fabric and jacket in advance. Iron. Then start tracing every detail. First we cut out the back and front, after that we move on to the sleeves. All details must be cut, taking into account seam allowances. Pay most attention to the hood of the blouse. To do this, we need to cut out four circles for the ears of the future bear. After that, we sew the circles around the edges. Leaving only 2 cm. After we turn the blanks for the ears. Next, you need to fill the ears with filler. A circle of a lighter color is sewn on each ear. Sew the ears to the hood.
After that, we proceed to the manufacture of the nose of the bear. To do this, we sew two black circles with a diameter of 6 cm. We also fill it with filler. Eyes can be sewn on ready-made, which can be purchased at any needlework store.
The next step will be mittens. To make which will not be difficult. You just need to circle the child's handle, make a seam allowance, cut and sheathe along the contour. On the inside of the mittens we sew the same details of a light color.
Step-by-step instructions for creating a bear costume for an adult ![](https://i2.wp.com/tkaner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Kostyum_medvedya_1-193x300.jpg)
If you need to make a bear costume from scratch for an adult, then you need to prepare patterns in advance. You can make a bear both whole and separate, so choose the option that suits you best:
- Common details for any bear costume will be paws, mittens, ears that can be attached to a hat or hoop.
- To make the bottom, you can make loose pants from soft material. The blouse is also sewn from soft fabric, which is complemented by mittens.
- For a pattern of pants, you can take any of your pants, which are made from top to bottom with an elastic band. Any sweatshirt is also suitable for a sweatshirt.
- A suitable material for making a bear would be fleece or faux fur. But keep in mind that moment, it will be very hot in such a suit.
Reference! If you decide to make a jumpsuit, be sure to make it with a zipper. It is not worth making a lock in the middle of the abdomen, because it will not look very attractive. It is better to make a side zipper. Be sure to overcast the edges of the product so that the suit does not crumble.
To make a vest, you can also use an old jacket, according to which you will make a pattern. It will be fastened with hooks or buttons. For a vest, it is still recommended to use faux fur, because it will not look so impressive from ordinary material. Be sure to overcast the product on all sides so that it does not crumble. Each hook is sewn parallel to each other.
Making a New Year's costume is a simple matter, the only thing that can cause difficulty is working with dense fabrics, which are quite difficult to sew, and besides, not every machine can sew even dense fleece. How exactly your outfit will look is up to you, feel free to create unique looks that will be different from everyone else.
What accessories to complement the costume ![](https://i2.wp.com/tkaner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Kostyum_medvedya_3-227x300.jpg)
You can decorate a bear costume with a butterfly, which you can sew with your own hands or use a ready-made one. To do this, cut out 2 squares of black or red material 20 * 20 cm in size and another 5 * 10 cm. A small square is trimmed to make a tube. After that, the workpiece is ironed. Large squares are also stitched from the wrong side, while remembering to leave room so that the workpiece can be turned right side out. This will be the main part of our bow. It is put on a large square and it turns out a bow for a bear.
If it is not possible to sew a bear hat, then it is quite possible to get by with a mask. On the Internet you can find a mask for every taste, print it on a color printer, or, in extreme cases, decorate it with pencils. Do not forget to attach an elastic band to the cardboard mask so that you can put it on.
In addition, you can supplement the bear with a barrel of honey. Of course not real. To make it, you need a fabric of two colors to create the appearance of wooden planks. To do this, you need to cut a rectangle measuring 40 cm by 40 cm and two circles with a diamond of 15 cm each. You can sew a rectangle of two shades to imitate wooden boards. After that, we attach circles on both sides so that the point turns out to be voluminous, and we sew the side of the workpiece. Do not forget to make a beautiful inscription "Honey". Now it’s clear that we have a bear in front of us.
Of course, you can buy a fancy dress in the store. The choice there is simply huge: the traditional costume of a bear or a hare hangs next to the outfit of a robot, Zorro or Spider-Man. But modern costumes are not cheap, not every family can afford such a purchase. And okay, if a costume was required only for the New Year, in many kindergartens all themed matinees are held in costume. And for children's birthdays, they are often asked to bring a child in a costume. So if you like it or not, but many mothers have to take up a needle and scissors and remember what they were taught at school in needlework lessons. But not everything is so difficult, even a novice craftswoman can sew a bear costume.
"Fast" bear costume
This costume is suitable for a matinee in the garden and can be made in just an hour. The outfit consists of ears, mittens, a ponytail and a bow around the neck, like a bear from the cartoon "Masha and the Bear". We will need a small patch of satin, brown faux fur, a thick headband and a couple of safety pins. We make a bow tie from chintz. From the fur you need to cut out the mittens, ears and tail of the bear. Then cut off a strip of material, sheathe a bezel on it, attach ears on top. You can pre-seal the ears and tail with padding polyester or cardboard. We attach the butterfly and tail to the child's clothes with safety pins. The bear costume is ready!
Carnival bear costume
It will take a little more time to sew this costume, about four hours. For him, you need to take 80-100 centimeters of faux fur, a piece of leatherette, artificial eyes from a needlework store. We measure the volume of the child's head and cut it out. We make a nose out of leatherette, ears out of fur, sew them on a hat and glue the eyes. We cut out from the shorts, vest and mittens. We sew a fur tail to the shorts, glue triangular claws cut out of leatherette on the mittens. To prevent the paws from falling off the child, you can insert an elastic band into them in a circle.
Jumpsuit with hood
Sewing such a bear costume is somewhat more difficult than the previous ones, but the result will be excellent. If you take white faux fur instead of brown, you get a polar bear costume. Most likely, the child will ask that the outfit be dressed for him not only on holidays, but also for everyday games. The basis of the costume is a jumpsuit. Patterns that match the age and size of the child can be found in needlework magazines or on the Internet. And you can lay out any jumpsuit from the baby’s wardrobe on the fur fabric and circle it, not forgetting to leave allowances for the seams. Do not worry, the fur will hide all the flaws. Mittens for this costume can not be cut out. The front of the bear costume must be fastened with a zipper, internal buttons or snaps. You need to insert elastic bands along the edge of the legs and sleeves, sew ears on the hood, and a ponytail on the ass.
Top. Shirt-kosovorotka of any bright intense color (red, pink, blue, emerald green, yellow) with polka dots or plain (Fig. 1).
Fastening at the back with a button, front - imitation. On the bottom of the sleeves (it is also possible on the bottom of the shirt), along the collar and along the cut of the collar, a colored multi-colored braid is sewn, harmonizing in color and pattern with the fabric of the shirt. If there is no suitable ribbon, you can sew 2-3 narrow colored ribbons at a short distance from each other, or sew a narrow ribbon between two narrow ribbons (bindweed and another zigzag) or even lay out a pattern from a narrow ribbon. You can also sew on not a braid, but a narrow strip (2-3 cm) of bright colorful fabric. Belt - a colored scarf or a piece of fabric. At the very ends of the belt, fringe, braid, or brushes are made. You can embroider patterns on a sewing machine.
On the hands- black, brown or gray gloves. Pads are put on and sewn on manually, giving the paws massiveness (Fig. 2). They are sewn from the same fabric as the hood. If the fabric is thin, then between the glove and the cover there are 2 layers of synthetic winterizer.
Bottom. Pants (Fig. 3) - bloomers, plain or striped (for example, a white stripe on a dark blue background). Top and bottom - rubber band.
On foot. Massive shoes or boots.
On the head. Half mask with a hood (Fig. 3) made of baize, faux fur (for example, from an old fur coat) or any brown fabric, preferably with a pile. It is good to use knitwear (an old plain sweater or leggings). If the fabric is thin, then the hood descending to the back will need to be duplicated with synthetic winterizer, batting or dense fabric.
Nose(muzzle) sew from 3 parts (Fig. 4), stuff with padding polyester or cut foam rubber, slightly gather the edges and sew by hand to the hood. The muzzle can also be made from
A plastic bottle, gluing it with calico and PVA glue to a rigid base.
Ears(fig. 5) turn, turn inside out and sew to the mask. The mouth can be made from a red soutache or a narrow ribbon. The tip of the nose is made of black leather (old gloves, bag) or shiny black fabric.
Eyes- a circle of white fabric, on which a round dark button is sewn (Fig. 6).
