We suggest making a costume for a girl with your own hands, one of the main elements will be a black velvet hat with a mustache. Make a simple pattern in the form of a rectangle folded in half, the width of which is equal to the circumference of the head (plus 2 cm of the allowance for the connecting seam), and the height of the required headgear height (plus 6-8 cm for the lapel).
Fold the cut in half with the wrong side up and sew a vertical joining seam. Stitch the cross cut. Neaten the bottom edge of the bee cap, form a lapel and sew with a blind seam to the wrong side of the product. Fold the upper opposite corners of the headgear in triangles and connect to each other. Turn the cap out.

- When sewing from velvet, do not crease, carefully straighten the fabric.
- Allowances on the velvet part of the cut must be made at least 2 cm.

- Guide the machine stitch along the seam line in the direction of the bristles.
Longosliv
The easiest way to sew a black velvet long dress for a homemade New Year's bee costume is to use an old child's turtleneck as a basis for a pattern. With its help, complete 4 details of the cut: back, front, sleeves. Don't forget to leave seam allowances! Connect the long-slung elements with pins and sew the parts on a sewing machine. Unscrew the cutout line, bottom and edges of the long-sleeved sleeves and sew 1-2 simple stitches.
Note:
Dress
A New Year's bee costume for a girl cannot do without a dress made of yellow fabric. The basis for the pattern will be a children's T-shirt. Spread it out on paper and trace along the contour. Draw the bottom of the dress above the knee of the child, mark the seam allowances. The lower edge of the product should have a rounded shape, the shoulders should be beveled. Spread the sides of the bee's dress to the sides, like a trapeze.
Sew a simple one-piece dress. If you are not new to sewing, you can use a more complex pattern with lantern sleeves for your outfit, as well as make gathers at the bottom of the product. You almost succeeded in sewing a bee costume with your own hands, it remains to attach black satin ribbons to the front of the dress and complete the masquerade image with important details.
Important details
A bee's fancy dress for the New Year will not do without insect antennae attached to the hat. You can do them in different ways. So, use ready-made springs of the store rim. You will get a wonderful little bee girl if the antennae are decorated at the ends with hearts. In addition, you can make balls of black velvet and fill them with cotton wool or padding polyester.
Alternatively, you can attach a wire twisted several times, wrapped in woolen threads, with pom-poms at the ends, on the bee girl's hat. Springs or wire antennae will also replace two black laces with balls sewn to the top of the headdress.
Purchase a yellow-gold nylon fabric with a width of 1, 50 m and a length of 50 cm. Cut strips 30 cm wide, sew into one and singe the nylon cuts. Tie a nice bow and sew on the back of the bee's dress.
