A gymnast is the main element of military decoration

The upper one-toned shirt, belted with a belt, with a standing collar, two patch pockets on the chest and an anterior cut with a covered bar - it looked like a tunic or earlier "gymnastic shirt" for military personnel. Gymnastics differed in color and buttons - depending on the kind of troops and rank. Also at the rank of soldier pointed shoulder straps and buckles. Like other military clothes, the gymnastic shirt had a simple and functional cut. That is why it is not difficult to sew a reduced copy of this element of military uniform, even to those mothers who do not have sewing skills. So, we sew the military uniform to the child by all rules independently.

9. We sweep the basic elements of the tunic - in front and back.
10. Next we sew the cuffs to the sleeves and the collar. Again, do not forget about the decorative stitch and loop.
