Carnival costume garbage bin
Children sometimes present quite a challenge. The job: "Mom, I want to go to the carnival as a garbage can." Oh dear, and nowhere a guide on how to do that! So it was said, even the woman is and ran to the sewing machine. The result is a cuddly soft ton that you do not want to take off anymore.
After some back and forth and the review of garbage cans of all kinds on the Internet, it was clear that the barrel should look like a zinc trash can. However, I can not bind my child so bad a metal drum around the stomach, so you can not finally bend down to sweets. So I was in a fabric shop for inspiration and got two meters of gray T-shirt fabric, two meters of volume fleece and plastic ribbon. The ribbon is sewn into the costume for reinforcement at the top and bottom. It serves to keep the barrel up and down in a round shape.
Sew the ton
For the garbage bin, cut 1.42 m from the fleece and 1.42 m from the T-shirt fabric. Spread the T-shirt fabric, place the fleece twice on the one half of the fabric and cover with the T-shirt fabric. The fleece is now between the gray T-shirt fabric in a width of about 71 cm. Insert one meter of ribbon at the top and sew a hem of 2.5 to 3 cm width. Sew down another seam at a distance of approx. 6 cm. That's the upper part of the barrel. To ensure that everything stays in place, it is possible to sew in a serrated thread before sewing with the sewing machine. Then another seam is stitched parallel to the upper seam at a distance of approx. 60 cm from the upper edge. Below this seam again a meter of ribbon strip is inserted and quilted at a distance of 8 cm another seam. This is the lower part of the barrel.
Next, seams are stitched at a distance of 14 cm over a length of 52 cm from the upper inner to the lower inner seam. Now it looks like a garbage bin. Who wants to can leave it that way, who wants to do some more work, can stitch right and left within these rectangles at a distance of about 3 cm to the outer seam, two more seams and these two seams top rounded with a stitching seam together. This actually has the pattern found on zinc trash cans. Afterwards, the bottom side is serged and the bin sewn together. When sewing together, sew the top edge together approx. 8 cm, then leave 22 cm free for the arm opening and sew the rest together. Cut the second sleeve hole on the opposite side of the sleeve. Clean the cuffs with a zigzag stitch.
So that the costume can not slip off the shoulder and in addition to stabilize it on the collar, the sleeves and chest part of an old gray T-shirt are cut below the armpit and sewn inside the edge of the garbage bin by hand. Now the costume can be put on like a sweater.
The lid
For the lid, a circle with a diameter of 38 cm is drawn on cardboard with a compass and cut out with the scissors. Lay the cardboard as a template on double-laid fleece, trace the outline with a pencil and cut out. Then lay the cardboard on the double-layered T-shirt fabric, mark the outline and cut with a seam allowance of 2 cm. Place the cardboard between the fleece and the fleece between the T-shirt fabric. Turn the gray overlapping fabric inwards and sew. Sew four lines and a circle over the lid like a spider's web.
Now sew the lid edge. Cut a piece of fleece 1.20 m long and 6 cm wide and a piece of the gray fabric 1.20 m long, 14 cm wide. The fleece and a 1.20 cm long piece of chopsticks band between the double-layered T-shirt fabric embrace, hit the fabric ends and sew together. Lay the border around the lid, mark the lines of the spider web in the extension with chalk on the edge and stitch it. Then sew the edge to the round lid. Finally, sew the handle of the lid. To do this, lay the fleece twice and cut off a 4 cm wide and 20 cm long piece. Lay the T-shirt fabric twice and trim a 6 cm wide and 22 cm long piece of fabric. Embrace the fleece and a 18 cm long ribbon in the T-shirt fabric, wrap the pages and sew them together lengthwise.
Sew a small cross at the ends of the handle and sew it on the dustbin cover with old rivets of jeans. Carnival can come now!
