Tips for choosing fabrics and accessories:
To complete the costume, you will need a plain gabardine or linen; fur with pile or thick yarn or boa (from accessories for ballroom dancing) for the mane; sequins (sequins). For finishing "apples" - a can of light quick-drying paint (for example, for graffiti).

2. Finishing
We shake the can of paint and apply "apples" on the details of the gray gabardine pattern. Pre-practice on an unnecessary piece of fabric. In order for the “apple” to have a “soft contour”, it is necessary to move the hand to a greater distance at the time of spraying.

3. Tailoring

Trousers.
Details of trousers and bells to grind. Iron the seams. Stitch side and crotch seams. Put the trousers one into one and sew the middle seam. On the upper cut of the trousers, make a drawstring. Insert elastic band. Embroider the bells of the trousers with sequins.

Tail.
We attach the tail to the belt of the trousers. The length of the tail is not below the knees.

Tunic.
Cut and sew a tunic according to a pattern and description from any sewing magazine. Run sleeves with bells. Make cuts on the sides of the tunic. Treat the neck with a roll, the ends of which are at the same time ties. Embroider the bells of the sleeves and the shelves of the tunic with sequins, decorate with rhinestones.
Choose a braided belt with long ends or make it yourself. To do this, sew three long rolls and weave them with a pigtail. Sew a few bright tassels onto the tunic (see sketch). If desired, you can decorate the back with a horseshoe appliqué.

Beanie.
Cut and sew a hat Sew on a mane ( artificial fur with a very long pile or boa) along the middle seam of the cap. The free end should hang down a few centimeters behind (to the shoulder blades).
Sew the ears. We cut a large part (outer contour) from gabardine and duplicate it with a gasket (doublerin or interlining) for rigidity, do not duplicate the smaller one from light satin (or crepe-satin). We connect the contours, grind, turn it on the front side. Sew the ear to the cap along the stitching line. We embroider the band with sequins and rhinestones.

Tail. From a matching yarn (you can use a boa), make a knee-length ponytail. Fasten the tail in the back seam of the trousers.

For a child there are still two versions of the New Year's horse costume.

Option one: as the body of the horse, you need a jumpsuit Brown or pajamas (preferably from plush or velveteen), long black cuffs imitating horse hooves are sewn to the sleeves and trousers. A jumpsuit or pajama shirt must have a hood to which the horse's head will be sewn.

Then the workpiece should be turned out “obvious” and filled with any stuffing material, carefully sewn along the edge. Horse ears can be made from two pieces of cardboard covered with fabric. The eyes of the horse are made from buttons or felt cut out in the shape of a circle.
