If we we are talking about the “do” option
If you sew a suit
You can take a ready-made pattern.
You simply cannot do without a bandana and/or a hat, like Jack Sparrow). Please note that Jack's things are a little dirty)). Therefore, you can “stain” the fabric a little with paint. But this is only if desired.
Thinking over the details
We decide in advance what it will consist of. ready set. It is quite acceptable if it is made up of short trousers, a T-shirt, and a belt. If desired, bloomers can be sewn. They are worn paired with pirate boots. The simplest pattern for sewing pants is suitable. If she doesn’t turn up, nothing terrible will happen. Children's/adults' pajama pants will come to the rescue. They are redrawn on fabric, which can be either plain or with slightly noticeable stripes.
Robber costume on New Year can be sewn by finished pattern. IN large quantities Such patterns are presented in many magazines, where you can find drawings of the basic parts.
The necessary attributes of a robber costume are:
Making the bottom of the suit
Let's start making a robber costume with our own hands from pants. We find unnecessary things in our son’s wardrobe and sew pieces of fabric on them different colors. To create a believable image, the pieces can be smeared in advance. Paint is perfect for this. Each trouser leg is torn at the bottom.
Making the top of the suit
The shirt or vest (depending on what piece of clothing is found) that will be taken may be well-worn and tattered. If the item was recently purchased, it is better to age it artificially. To do this, it is torn in several places, plus a small amount of “dirt” is added. This will guarantee that the robber costume for the boy will look more believable. A young man can put a vest on his shirt.
What's a robber without a vest?
So, robber costumes look more advantageous with this particular piece of clothing. You won’t have to rack your brains about sewing it. It is enough just to tear off the sleeves from a well-worn jacket, and we will get an amazing detail of the future outfit. If dad or grandpa doesn't mind the old vest, you can wear it. The main thing is that the vest has pockets. After all, it is from them that the bladed weapon will be displayed threateningly. Of course, a toy.
Making a headdress
A scarf or a bandana - any of these headdresses will be quite suitable option, if you have set a firm goal - to make a New Year's robber costume. Again, any fabric will do. Its color and pattern do not matter. Don't worry about the edges of the bandana either. After all, looking unkempt is quite common for this character.”>
If you sew an eye patch with your own hands, then first make a template. To make it, thick cardboard is taken. Then, according to the finished template, two parts of the bandage are cut out (the fabric should be black). Afterwards the parts are sewn together.">
Robber costumes can be presented in different variations. Let's look at some of them.
Robin Hood - a boys' dream
So, let's start sewing another robber costume for a boy with our own hands. Among necessary materials should be:
- Fabric (color green and brown).
- Dense white and gray matter (pieces).
- Pants or tights (not wide).
- Bright feather.
- Velcro.
- Sewing supplies.
A simple old technology is used to sew a shirt. A piece of fabric is cut out. Its length should be equal to the length of the finished product multiplied by two. As for the width, it is calculated by calculating the measurements of the back and the length of a pair of sleeves added to it.
Then a slit is made in the folded fabric for the collar. The back is cut symmetrically along the axis, after which a Velcro fastener is attached to it. The contours of the sleeves are drawn with chalk, and excess fabric is cut off. After sewing the side seams of the shirt, you can start working on the hem. It is cut with teeth.
«>
The “pie” hat is the main and important accessory of Robin Hood. We take brown fabric and draw four pieces on the back side of it. After all, we will need a crown (two parts) and a brim (two parts). We cut them out, turn them inside out and sew them together in pairs. Pins are needed to attach the brim to the crown. Because finished product It comes with curved brims, they are attached with the back side.
Robber costumes are the dream of many boys. Therefore, we will take their production very seriously. After making the seam, turn the fields inside out. Next, an elastic band is sewn to the hat. A bright feather (real or paper) will become good decoration fields. To sew a belt, take gray material (its length should be one and a half waist circumference, width - four times the width of the finished part).
The ends of the fabric cut are folded inward and processed. It is folded four times along its length and has three seams. After the buckle is attached to the belt, all that remains is to make holes in it. To make a knife, pieces of thick fabric are suitable. It could be felt. The parts cut out in double quantities are stitched and attached to the belt using Velcro. So, another robber costume for a boy, made with his own hands, is ready.
Russian robber in all his glory
To create a grotesque costume you will need the simplest and most affordable means. Three holes are cut in a jute or canvas bag (the burlap must be unbleached) to allow the arms and head through. This robber costume for the New Year requires a belt. A rope will serve its role well.”>
There is no need to wear any additional clothing under the resulting shirt. Burlap can be used to sew pants. If this process does not cause delight, you can pick up ready-made pants in the store. Just keep in mind that they will require minor modifications. It is better to choose a simple model that is made of canvas. If this model has an elastic band, it must be replaced with rope.
You will also need a rope to tighten the legs. It looks like this: holes are made at the ankles. Then the ropes are threaded through them. There are several headwear options for this option: a ribbon or the already familiar rope supporting the hair, a roughly sewn cap, a fur hat.
To add additional color to the suit, you can sew colored patches. The fabric for them is chosen to be contrasting, for example, white with red polka dots. The seam is deliberately made rough and noticeable.
Seasoned robber - next image
If a seasoned dashing man or the ataman himself is taken as a basis, then to sew his pants (they are similar to the previous option) you will need high-quality fabric. The top of the suit consists of a fur coat or a sheepskin coat turned inside out. They are also worn on the naked body. A sash is used for belting. A bright scarf is what it can be made from. An experienced robber wears the same shoes as a beginner. Plus he carries with him the boots he got. The size and style of shoes can be absolutely any, as this is a trophy. To wear trophy boots you will need a rope (it is thrown over the neck) or a stick.
Eastern Bandit
This is the next colorful character that a child will probably be interested in. The naked torso is his distinguishing feature. But he cannot do without trousers or ports, similar to the same item of clothing of his Slavic brother. The necessary headdresses are a turban and skullcaps. You can tie a turban yourself, but it is more advisable to purchase skullcaps. An ordinary member of a gang does not need shoes. The chieftain will need to buy shoes similar to oriental ones in order to long noses were bent upward. An eye patch for the chieftain will not be superfluous. We have already described above how it is sewn.
We looked at exactly how you can sew and make robber costumes for the New Year for boys. It takes little time, but the result always pleases the tomboys.
How to make/sew a New Year's costume "Robber"?
If we we are talking about the option to do, then we can use the things that we have at hand. This could simply be jeans, a black vest, a T-shirt or T-shirt, or a bandana. And the rest of the details of the costume can be done with your own hands. For example, we can make a black headband - we can cut out two circles from black fabric. We sew them along the edge using a machine, turn them inside out and carefully sew up the area that was not sewn up before.
We sew a black elastic band to the circle - the pirate bandage for one eye is ready.

This year my son plays the role of a robber in a skit in kindergarten; I can’t find such a costume anywhere in our town (there are musketeers, animals, knights, etc., but there is no robber). I decided that I would sew it myself, or rather not even sew it, but slightly alter the trousers, buy a new white shirt, and sew a bandana and vest. So, for my creativity I took the following picture, according to which in the future I will make a robber costume. Here:
So, for the suit you will need a regular white shirt that fits larger size child, wide black or brown sweatpants, about 0.5 meters of red fabric, 0.5 meters of black fabric, black socks and shoes.
We leave the shirt as it is, but the cat sweatpants cut off the bottom and deal with the torn edges. If desired, you can sew on a patch. From red fabric, cut out a triangle with sides 40/40/40 and a rectangle with sides 1.5 meters and 5 cm. For a suit, it is better to take fabric that will not have to be overcast in the future. Use the triangle as a bandana, and the rectangle as a belt. The vest can be sewn according to the pattern given below, but of course you need to take your own sizes.
A sea pirate is also a robber, but you need a robber costume from the fairy tale The Snow Queen.
We sew pants and dark fabric length below the knees. We make the bottom of the trouser legs torn.
Pants may have elastic. We sew on two or three patches.
We put on a shirt and a vest made of dark fabric over it, a woven belt is required
A strip of scarf on the head.
And as an example, the bandits from the Bremen Town Musicians. To avoid being very naked during New Year's party, We put on a black vest.
To avoid the wrong size, we ripped open the child’s old pants and made a pattern based on them.
The robber costume is suitable for an active, active boy.
Nowadays the Jack Sparrow pirate costume is very popular.

The shoes are black, any pants can be sewn.
The pirate costume is very beautiful and your child will definitely like it. Personally, I often confuse bandits with pirates, although their costumes are roughly similar. A robber's bone can be made from available materials:
You must also not forget the beard.
The most economical option is not to sew a costume yourself, even from old fabric, but to take small things that the child has outgrown. We shorten and roll up the pants, put a scarf on our head (you can buy fabric with skulls). Leg warmers and a torn vest. Jewelry to suit his mood, almost every boy has a skull, you can put a clip on your ear.

Leather gloves (fingerless) are better suited for such a suit.
The robber can hide his face behind a mask. It can be made from paper or cardboard. Or you can use a black strip of fabric with holes cut out for the eyes. It is better to take knitted fabric, as it stretches well. Sew around the edges of the mask and don't forget the ties.

To make all the components, you can use old wardrobe items. This could be pajamas, a sweatshirt and pants. The main thing is a must white.
For buttons from red fabric, cut out 3 small circles and sew along the edges. We stuff them with padding polyester and sew them up completely. We sew the finished buttons to the blouse. The outfit is almost ready.
The main detail of any snowman is the nose. Traditionally, a carrot is used as a nose. It can also be cut from red fabric. Measure out a small cone and carefully cut it out. Sew along the edge with wrong side and turn it inside out. On the sides we mark two points for the elastic band. We make small holes and sew the elastic to the nose. We sew up the hole for the cotton wool with a small circle.
As decoration, you can add a cap made of colored paper, and tie a small strip of tinsel around your neck.
If you wish, you can sew the costume yourself. This process also does not take much time. You can use everyday items as a pattern for a blouse and pants.
Advice! The blouse can be made longer and more voluminous at the bottom.
All components are stitched using a regular stitch on a machine. We fold the bottom of the sweater and skip the seam, not reaching the end. We stuff it with cotton wool or synthetic padding. This results in a rounded tummy. We completely sew up the product. For decorations we use buttons, a carrot nose, and a cap from the method described above.
Many boys love pirates and sea robbers. You can go to the celebration dressed as the legendary and beloved Captain Jack Sparrow.

For greater effect, add a few accessories. You can cut out the pirate coat of arms (skull and crossbones) from white non-woven fabric and stick it on the hat. Don't forget about the eye patch and pirate knife - faithful companions. With this outfit, any mischievous person will become a small copy of Captain Jack Sparrow.

To complement the costume, a thick false beard is also added. The cute gnome is ready.
Many boys fell in love with the heroes of the Wild West. IN New Year's Eve You can make your little defender’s dream come true by dressing up as a brave and strong cowboy.
To sew trousers and vest you will need suede fabric brown. We take measurements for patterns using other products. It should be remembered that cowboys preferred flared trousers that did not restrict movement. We take measurements, stepping back a few centimeters from the main product, and cut it out. We pin with safety pins from the wrong side and skip a line on the sewing machine.
Don't forget about the fringe: cowboys preferred to decorate their costumes with additional accessories. On a piece of fabric, measure 1 centimeter sections and cut them out. Fringe can be sewn to crotch seam trousers, vest or shirt sleeves.
Accessorize with a pistol holster around the waist, a black hat and a thin bandana around the neck.
Advice! Instead of suede trousers, you can use old jeans.
Many boys are interested in the theme of the Middle Ages, inspired by stories from cartoons and fairy tales. The image of a brave and courageous knight is suitable for celebrating the New Year.
The clothing of a real knight was 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 needs to be further worked out: make unique cuts or cut out turrets.
The chest is decorated with the family coat of arms. To do this, you can print out the design you like and transfer it to fabric. The coat of arms stencil will also be useful when designing a shield. We transfer the drawings to bright fabric and cut out all the components. Sew to the cape. Any black sweatshirt or pullover will fit underneath.
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 - the sword and helmet. The costume of a faithful and brave knight is ready.
Advice! The shield and sword can be replaced with a crossbow and a bag of arrows.
Conclusion
Celebrating the New Year for every child creates a special feeling of a fairy tale and miracle. Carnival costumes of various heroes will help every mischievous boy remember the holiday as a special and important event.
Robber costumes are most suitable for mischievous and active boys, who will feel harmonious in this image. The robber costume can be made in several variations. The first is the image of an old robber, the second is a modern one. Let's look at each of them.
Modern look
Modern cinema and cartoons depict the robber exactly in this form, as you can see in this photo.
If you decide to make such a suit, you must know what parts it will consist of. This:
- black trousers or trousers;
- striped sweater or T-shirt;
- mask;
- additional accessories.
Now let's move on to the actual production of each detail of the image.
Cloth
To create a robber costume for a boy, you don’t have to sew your own clothes. If you can find the necessary things in your wardrobe, then use them.
The robber is wearing black pants or trousers. Perhaps you can find them in every closet. But if not, you can always make your own pants. A classic cut and versatile material are chosen.
The top of the suit is striped sweater or a T-shirt. If you don’t have one like this in your wardrobe, you can paint the sweater white yourself. Robber costumes do not have clear standards, so you can combine existing items.
Hiding your face
As a mask, you can use a black strip of fabric with cut out holes for the eyes. It is better to use knitted fabric, it is convenient to work with. Sew around the edges of the mask and don't forget the ties.
You can choose an alternative - paint the mask with paints. Regular black watercolor paint is suitable for this.
Addition
In order to complement the ready-made robber costumes, hats and gloves are used. A headdress that is suitable for this image should fit snugly to the head, and must be black. You can choose a hat a few sizes smaller so that it does not completely cover your head.
It is better to prefer leather gloves without fingers. But thin fabric ones will also work.
An additional accessory is a money bag that you can make yourself. To do this, two rectangles are cut out of thick fabric or burlap. They are then sewn together to make a bag. Turn it inside out and fill it with foam rubber or crumpled newspaper. To make it clear that there is money in the bag, you can decorate it with a dollar emblem, which is drawn with a marker on the bag or cut out of green fabric. One of the options for how to make a robber costume with your own hands is shown in the following photo.
Rogue Pirate
The image of this robber has been known since ancient times and is often found in cartoons and films. If you have chosen such a suit, you can see an example of what it might look like.
These robber costumes may look a little like pirates. The outfit consists of the following items:
- pants or breeches;
- T-shirt or sleeveless vest;
- headband;
- additional attributes.
Let's look at how to make each of the listed parts with your own hands.
Torn clothes
For the bottom of the suit, old ones that you don’t mind cutting are suitable. The cuts are made in the form of triangular teeth. In this case, the length is removed to create breeches. Such a robber costume for a boy should not look strict.
For outerwear, choose an old jacket or T-shirt. Why old? It’s unlikely that anyone will like cutting new and still wearable clothes with scissors. Using the same principle, we make a torn jacket.
If you do not have the opportunity to use ready-made clothes, you can sew them yourself. To do this you will need fabric and a sewing machine.
A vest is often used as an addition to clothing. At the same time, clothes can have different emblems and designs.
Kerchief
As this headdress, scraps of fabric of the required color can be used. Twist the fabric in several layers to make it wide horizontal stripe, which is placed on the forehead, tied on the reverse side with several knots. You can use a bandana, the same scarf that covers your entire head.
Robber attributes
In order to create a bright New Year's robber costume, we advise you to supplement it with paraphernalia. Toy weapons are perfect for this. Revolvers or shotguns can be used to add credibility to the image. And if you tie a fabric belt on your pants, then this weapon will be easy to secure. Sabers and daggers made of plastic will also suit the image of a robber.
As an interesting addition, you can sew a small bag that is filled with coins and worn on your belt.
The ear clip in the shape that pirates and robbers traditionally wore looks good. You can complement the image with other details if you think it is necessary.
