Suit of cabbage by own hands: master class №1
For this costume you will need:
- elegant fabric of two green hues;
- thin foam rubber;
- elastic band-elastic;
- small piece of Velcro.
First you need to sew a sundress using a pattern of cabbage costume. We begin by cutting out a rectangle from the fabric, whose length is equal to the volume of the hips multiplied by 2.5. The width can be selected depending on how long the final product you want to get. It is desirable that the sundress does not reach the knees a little.

To make the outfit more voluminous and lush, you need to make a few grooves from above and below. Also we will duplicate the sarafan cloth with foam rubber and put it on the lining.
Cut out cabbage leaves - semicircular details, which need to be processed on the bottom by a narrow stitch-zigzag. At the top of the details of the leaves we turn, make a line with large stitches and slightly attach. Then, we put the obtained leaves with tiers and sew on the base, moving from bottom to top.
Bottom and top of the sarafan we turn, we make a kulisk and insert a wide elastic band. The bottom on the elastic makes the sundress round and more like cabbages.
We cut out and we cut out wide straps and we put them to the top of the product, and on them on the place of the shoulders we sew velcro - its hard part. Velcro we need to securely fix the pelerinka.
The cape is cut out in the form of "sun", making the neck on the elastic band so that it is convenient to put it over the head. We work the bottom of the pelerine with a fine zigzag, and on top of it we sew cabbage leaves with several tiers. The length of the cape should be such that to cover the sarafan by 10 cm. Note when fitting the place of contact of the pelerine and straps, sewing on the pelerine from the inside a soft part of the Velcro.
As a headdress, we suggest you make a scarf that can be wrapped around the head and tied in front to a knot. In ready-made form, such a cabbage costume looks quite impressive and realistic.
