The animated series "Fixies", created by the Russian animation studio "Airplane", has a huge number of fans throughout Russia. Over the years of the cartoon's existence, children have managed to fall in love with the active Simka, the inquisitive Nolik and other equally wonderful characters. Kids love to play with fixie toys, wear clothes with the cartoon logo, draw and color these little people, and sing lively songs along with fixie toys. But since the main characters of the cartoon are Simka and Nolik, the greatest attention of children is focused on them. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that often on the eve of one or another children's holiday, children ask their parents to prepare fixie costumes for them. Boys, as a rule, want to be “Noughts”, and girls “Sims”. That is why today we decided to pay attention to making the costumes of these characters with our own hands.

Wardrobe Master class New Year Sewing Fixie suit “Fire” Glue Ribbons Threads Fabric
Hello everybody!
I want to share with you the costume of the fixie Fire. Like many other children, my seven-year-old son asked me for it for the New Year. There are already several examples of fixie suits in the country of Masters, but I decided to exhibit mine too. I worked on this costume for 2.5 days (day and night). To create the fixie, I took: fabric (fleece - yellow, raincoat fabric - red), lining fabric, synthetic padding, crimson satin ribbon, wide yellow elastic band, buttons or zipper, red and yellow threads to match the color of the fabrics, instant glue. I tried to reproduce this costume exactly like the real Fire. There are, however, some shortcomings and discrepancies in the sizes of some parts. Before I started, I looked through all the pictures with Fire and chose a few of the most optimal ones. Here they are.
I started looking for patterns, but didn’t really find anything. After thinking a little, I didn’t bother too much and took my son’s usual sweater and pants, not very wide, but not tight. I redrew it onto regular A4 paper, having previously glued it together. Then I transferred this pattern to the fabric and cut it out, leaving a margin of 1.5 cm along the entire edge (allowances).
The suit consists of three layers. These layers are visible in the photo. The first layer was sewn from red and yellow fabric. I chose the cheapest and most suitable one to keep its shape.
Since the suit consists of two different fabrics in color and structure, I marked on the pattern where one fabric would end and the other would begin.
To make the suit more voluminous, I added padding polyester as a second layer. But before that I divided it into three layers. The original thickness was 1 cm. The only disadvantage of this layer is that the child will be very warm in it. But my son’s Christmas tree was held in a cool room, so this was a plus for us.
On the sleeves I sewed strips of equal width along the yellow fabric. To get the same relief as Fire.
Here's a larger picture.
And the third layer is lining fabric. I'm not a professional, but an amateur, so first I folded all three layers and sewed them together. For convenience, I secured it with needles so that the fabrics did not run away. And then I “decorated” the costume. These shortcomings are visible in the photo.
Afterwards I started sewing on the costume design. To do this, I took a medium-width ribbon and a wide elastic band. The tape lay down in the form of suspenders. It gathers when sewing, so I did it slowly and carefully.
And the elastic was sewn onto the belt so that it did not tighten too much.
I sewed pockets on my red raincoat pants. I also took a scarlet satin ribbon to match the color and sewed stripes like these on the front.
I still had a small piece left from the elastic, from which I made a detail like Fire’s at the back.
Only mine is just square and not so voluminous.
I couldn’t find a light plastic buckle, so I sewed it directly from fabric using elastic.
I sewed all the details (sleeves, front, back, etc.), and this is the result. How to properly sew parts can be found on the Internet.
The symbol in front is “Thousand!” cut from the same fabrics as the suit itself. I took the pattern from Elena Guseva on the website https://stavsneg.ru/novosti/fiksiki-kak-sshit-znak-tydyshh.html/. She needs to overlog them, but I didn’t have the opportunity or time, so I just sewed a circle of yellow fabric without fear that the fleece would unravel and glued my fingers to it with glue for a moment.

Who are fixies?
Before you start creating a New Year's costume, you should decide what kind of character you want to appear before others. Who are fixies? This is a family in which parents Papus and Masya, their children Nolik and Simka and grandfather Dedus live. The new characters in the series are Vert's classmates, Igrek, Shpulya and Fire.
The head of the Papus family is distinguished by a bright mind, extraordinary responsibility and intelligence. In any difficult situation, he is able to find the right solution, come to the rescue, troubleshoot problems and talk about the essence of his work.
Mommy Masya is the support of the family and its head, she is involved in raising and teaching children, telling them how to care for equipment. Happy to help Papus if he needs help with repairs.
The wisest fixie is Grandpa Dedus. It was he who opened a school for young people, where they learn the basics of science. The laboratory where the school operates is headed by the kindest scientist Genius Evgenievich Chudakov. A little absent-minded, but very smart and responsive.
And, of course, the main characters are Nolik and Simka. When planning a fixie costume, these are the characters that are chosen most often. The daughter is nine years old, she is responsible and smart, the youngest Nolik is only five, he always wants to play, and often gets into trouble.
Fixie suit for a boy. Nolik
All the characters in the series have unique outfits. Nolik is different from everyone else with his gorgeous blue hair. You need to start sewing a costume with a hat, which will help create the image of Nolik. For work you will need the following materials: foam rubber, glue, scissors, ruler, pencil, spray paint.
You need to cut out a rectangle 20 cm wide from foam rubber, the length will be equal to the size of your head. Having retreated 10 cm along the entire length, you need to draw identical triangles and cut them out. The blank resembles a crown.
When combining triangles into one vertex, you need to glue them all together. See the pattern in the photo. You will get a cap, this will be the base.
Now we cut out various geometric elements from foam rubber, which we will then paste over the base. The parts are glued in a circle upwards; they should fit snugly against each other.
After the base is covered with various foam geometric shapes, give the cap time to dry. Take a can of blue paint and paint the item. It is better to do this outdoors in protective clothing. Leave the cap to dry. Mandatory part No. 1, which is included in Nolik’s fixie costume, is ready.
How to make a costume
The first thing to do is cut a rectangle from a sheet of foam rubber. For the length you need to take the size of the head, and the width should be about 20 centimeters. At a height of 10 centimeters you need to draw isosceles triangles - along the entire length of the future hat. After this, they should be cut out to form a crown. The cut triangles need to be glued together, uniting them with one vertex. You should now have the basis for Nolik's headdress.
According to the diagram below, you need to cut four parts. These parts should be glued together along the side sections. It is necessary to take the largest part as a basis. Now the first finished element should be secured to the base of the cap. When making a cap for a fixie suit with your own hands, you can show your imagination and try to glue together different complex geometric shapes. All parts must be glued tightly to each other onto the headdress. It is best to decorate the top of the head with four triangles.
After the glue has dried, you can paint the hat. It is best to take blue paint in a can for this. The hat is ready!
Nolik's clothes
Nolik's clothes are also blue. You can take a regular turtleneck to match the color of a ready-made jumpsuit. If you are good at sewing, then make a complete fixie suit with your own hands.
You will need blue fabric. Fleece is perfect for this product. Create a pattern for the back, front and sleeves. It is important to calculate the dimensions correctly. You can take your son’s old unwanted turtleneck as a basis, rip it open and transfer the details onto the fabric. Don't forget to leave seam allowances. The front and back parts need to be sewn together, sleeves and collar must be sewn on. The top of the suit is ready.
Using the same method, using old sweatpants, cut the trousers onto the fabric. Sew the trousers. For convenience, insert an elastic band on top. The top and bottom of the zero are the same color. This makes the costume look more realistic.
Fixies emblem and attributes
And, of course, if you are sewing a fixie costume with your own hands, do not forget about the main attributes and emblems of the heroes.
The costume must have an emblem in the form of a hand. It won't be difficult to redraw it. For Nolik it will be blue, and for Simka it will be orange. If you are good at machine stitching, you can use a zigzag stitch. Sew the circle with the emblem on the front of the suit, on the chest.
A fixer won't be a fixer without a helper. What is a helper? This is a backpack containing various tools that no master can do without. The button on the helper can be cut out of padding polyester, so it will look larger and more realistic. The straps of the backpack can be made of varnish from any old belt.
Don’t forget about the mittens; for each of the fixies, they also need to be selected according to color.
So the costume of the cartoon character is ready. Your baby will be simply happy to turn into a smart, resourceful fixie.
DIY fixie suit. Simka
When choosing a fixie outfit for a girl, many prefer Simka's look. A bright orange suit and a wig of the same color will make Simka's New Year's costume very noticeable among the other characters of the carnival. The wig cap can be made from the same foam rubber as for Nolik.
We make the base exactly as described above. Then we cut out not various geometric shapes from foam rubber, but long ribbons in the form of elongated triangles. Glue them in a circle to the cap, they will imitate Simka's hair. Then you need to collect the tops of the foam curls and secure them, leaving a “bun”, see the example in the picture where the characters are depicted. In this case, the wig needs to be dyed bright orange or pink and also allowed to dry.
What you will need
As in the case of Nolik, you can use an orange turtleneck and a cute orange jumpsuit to create a costume for a cheerful and active girl. The clothing must be marked with a patch of the Fixie logo and silver stripes. And so that the child is as similar as possible to his favorite character, we suggest making a fixie costume with your own hands, or more precisely, a wig cap!
Simka clothes
The pattern of Simka's fixie suit resembles the pattern of ordinary children's pajamas. To create clothes you need to take bright orange, yellow and red fleece. On orange fabric, cut out a model according to old patterns of children's pajamas in the desired size. Leave 1 cm at the seams. Simka's suit has red and yellow inserts. You can simplify the task and sew multi-colored stripes on the sides of the pants and at the waist. An option is a red fleece vest, which will be worn over orange pajamas.
As for shoes, you can make them from ordinary house slippers. Take the same orange fleece and line the top of the slippers. Cut strips from red material and add inserts to the product that will act as decoration.
