Doctor Aibolit is one of the kids’ favorite characters. Children adore the hero for his kindness and originality, which also manifests itself in his costume. Therefore, if mom or dad dresses in his outfit, it will certainly not leave the child indifferent. Another advantage that Doctor Aibolit has is that a suit for an adult will cost very little. It is enough to stock up on white cotton fabric, purchase accessories and red material to create an unforgettable holiday for your child.
The Doctor Aibolit costume for children also looks great. It will be an original outfit for the New Year in kindergarten or primary school. The child will feel free, while looking festive and fabulous. It’s very easy to create an interesting outfit with your own hands. There are two options - buy a hospital version and decorate it or sew it yourself.

But, if you want to make such a costume with minimal effort and skill, then check out the following list of easy-to-make accessories and clothing items for a doctor or nurse costume.
What paper should I use?
First of all, you need to choose the right quality and type of paper, otherwise the product may be hopelessly damaged, and your time and nerves will be wasted.
There are several types of paper that are used in making things:
To create a base or give shape to an object, the following are suitable:
- Whatman paper – the structure is dense and retains its shape well.
- Cardboard – varies in composition and density.
For registration:
- Newsprint has a soft, pliable structure.
- Rice.
- Napkins.
- Packaging.
You can also purchase designer types of paper in specialized stores.
Apron
The easiest way to make a doctor's costume is to sew an apron. It can be very simple, but you can also make it more elegant.
- Cut out an apron of the required size from a piece of fabric. The top cut and side edges are folded and stitched. To the bottom we sew a ruffle from a strip of fabric about 7 cm, laying it in folds. The length of the ruffle fabric should be one and a half times longer than the length of the bottom of the apron. We make a loop from red satin trim to secure the apron around the neck, and also use it to tie the apron on the back. Be sure to make an applique of red satin ribbons in the form of a cross.
Vest
Another easy way to make a doctor costume is to sew a vest. At the same time, it is very easy to sew, even if you only have a general understanding of this process.
- We take the child's measurements. We need numbers that will allow us to find out the length of this vest and its width. In this case, it is better to measure the width of the vest with a margin. Multiply the length by 2 and cut off the excess fabric. Fold the strip of fabric in half. We cut out the neckline and process it using bias tape. We fold the side sections of the vest and stitch them. It is necessary to sew the ties, retreating approximately 15-20cm from the shoulder. On the chest in the area of the heart, make an applique - a red cross.
- The same vest can be made with buttons. To do this, you need to cut out three parts from the fabric: the back and two front parts, which will be fastened together with buttons. Don't forget to add pockets and a red cross to the vest.
Medical gown for Doctor Aibolit
The kindergarten asked me to sew two doctor's coats for the medical corner in the younger group for about a 2-3 year old child. After reviewing many patterns, I took the pattern for a boy's overshirt as a basis and lengthened it a little. In principle, for girls the only difference is that the clasp is on the other side. Overcast the edges of the hem and fold. Sew shoulder seams, sew sleeves into armholes, overcast edges. Sew side seams and sleeve seams, overcast.
Hem the bottom of the sleeves.
Stitch the ends of the collar, turn it right side out, cut off the corners, straighten the seams, iron and sew in the collar together with the collar, while turning the sides. Sew on the patch pockets, hem the bottom of the robe. Overcast the loops and sew on the buttons. And lastly, what kind of doctor would you be without a thermometer?

Costume from baby's clothes
If you don’t have time to sew a suit, then to create the image of a doctor, the child’s clothes that you have at home may well be useful.
- For example, a white tank top or T-shirt. White color is traditional for the doctor's profession. Another distinctive sign is a red cross, which must be placed on clothing. This can be applique, embroidery, drawing with a waterproof marker or fabric paint, or a sticker.
- White shirt. The shirt should be a little large so that it is long and at the same time it is possible to wear it over other clothes, like a doctor’s coat. In this case, it is necessary to trim the sleeves so that they do not dangle. It is best to insert elastic into the cuffs. If the shirt fits loosely on the child, then sew two ties at the waist level that can be tied at the back. This will make the costume look more like the real thing. In addition, it’s great if you can add large pockets to your robe. Place a red cross on your chest.
Headdress
- Scarf. This option for making a headdress for a nurse's costume. Therefore, it is more suitable for a girl’s outfit. It's very easy to make. Cut out a triangle from the fabric. We fold its edges and stitch it or process it with red bias tape. Place a red cross in the center.
- The doctor's cap is made as follows. We will need a piece of white fabric measuring 50x20 cm, a circle with a diameter of 15 cm, as well as a narrow strip of fabric 5x80 cm. We will use the narrowest strip as ties for the hat. The edges of the strip need to be folded to the wrong side and folded in half. Sew along the front side so that the edges remain inside the resulting strip. Next, take a fabric measuring 50x20 cm. Fold the side narrow edges and stitch them. We need to sew one of the long sides in such a way that we can then insert the resulting strip for ties there. To do this, bend the edge of the fabric by 0.5 - 1 cm. Iron this fold with an iron. Then we bend it again, but this time by 4 cm. We also iron it with an iron. Let's make a line. Sew the other edge to the prepared fabric circle. We insert a strip for ties along the bottom edge of the cap and try it on the child. Instead of ties, you can use contact tape (Velcro).
Master class 2 ways to sew a bib with your own hands (+ pattern)
The day before yesterday my youngest daughter went to kindergarten. To prevent children from getting their clothes dirty, parents were asked to bring bibs for their babies. I sewed this baby bib for my baby with her name embroidered.
From paper measuring 42x26 cm, cut out the following pattern. This pattern is for children aged 2 years and older. If you need a pattern for younger children, then you need to reduce it on all sides by 2 cm, the neckline will not be 11 cm, but 8-9.
We cut out a pattern from the fabric in two copies in a mirror image (top and bottom layer) + another one from oilcloth or a bag (you can do without it).
We place all 3 layers on top of each other: oilcloth, then 2 layers of fabric with the right sides facing each other.
We chop with needles so that the layers do not move apart.
We machine sew from the wrong side along almost the entire edge, leaving 6-7 cm unstitched.
Now, wherever there are roundings, we cut the fabric with scissors, slightly short of the seam.
Turn the bib right side out through this hole.
Bag
A shoulder bag is a necessary accessory for a nurse. It should be roomy enough and must have a red cross.
- The first option involves making a handbag, some type of bag with handles. We fold two pieces of fabric approximately 20x25cm right sides together. On the wrong side, we sew a stitch along three sides. The top edge of the bag must be folded and stitched. We turn two strips of fabric 50-60cm by 7-10cm into handles for the bag. We bend the long sides of these strips inward, bend them in half and stitch them on the front side. Sew the handles to the bag. Such a handbag may have one handle, but a longer one, which can be worn over the shoulder.
- Second option. We will need a strip of fabric 80x30cm and 10x100cm. We bend one of the narrow sides of a wide strip of fabric and sew a stitch on a machine. Next, we fold this prepared side at a distance of 25 cm onto the front part of the remaining fabric and lay the side seams. Then we bend the free sides of the remaining part of the fabric. The bag is almost ready. All that remains is to add a handle and, if necessary, a fastener in the form of a button, Velcro (contact tape) or button. And also make an applique in the form of a red cross.
