We make cushion toys with the help of the owl( the patterns are attached).

It's always difficult and interesting to learn something. The desire for everything new, the desire to create is almost natural to human nature. Mastering one more skill in needlework makes us a step ahead and allows us to improve our skills. Perhaps today a new skill for you will be the manufacture of pillow toys with your own hands, whose patterns will help in tailoring.

We will sew such dozing snappers in the size 40 × 40 cm:

A step-by-step master class will help us in this.

It is necessary to prepare:

• a cotton-based fabric for pillowcases and fabric is more dense for a napernik;
• felt for the decoration of the face;
• paper to draw a pattern on it;
• pencil;
• sintepon;
• small piece of artificial leather;
• scissors;
• zipper;
• Adhesive for fabric.

Pattern on the photo with a straight bottom for easy zipping.

Circle the pattern on the wrong side of the fabric for the pillowcase and for the napernik, put the allowances on the seams. Cut out pieces of owl from both types of fabric. There should be 4 parts for one pillow.

Cut out the eyes and nose from the felt, apply and sew in zigzag.

Eyelashes made of artificial leather and glued to the eyes.

Now you need to sew the clasp. First, cut the bottom section of the fabric with an overlock or zigzag stitch. Bend the edges to the wrong side and attach one part of the zipper, covering the teeth half way, then the other.

The clasp turns out to be hidden.

Seal the parts with a straight stitch, folding them with the inside sides.

Special attention should be given to the seam near the zipper.

Allow the seam allowances to be cut close to the seam or to make incisions in rounded areas.

Screw on the front.

Cut 4 paws details.

Fold the sides and stitch, leaving the holes to be turned, the trim allowances.

Unscrew legs, line a line along the edge, overturn unenclosed place. Then peg the paws with needles, as shown in the photo.

Sew attached parts, bend the edge, and again make a stitch.

To make bulky paws, they can be filled with sintepon. If it is necessary to give them hardness, then for this from the wrong side glued linen or other material on the glue.

Similarly, make a second pillowcase.

Now you need to sew a napernik. We take the cut out details from the dense fabric, fold them with the wrong sides up and lay the machine stitch, leaving a small unshielded window. Treat the seams overlock and turn the napernik.

Carry out the packing, cover the hole with a hidden seam.

Sew another napernik for the second pillowcase.

These are owls made of fabric.

What other pillows are

Here are some photos of pillow toys with your own hands:

1. Boats.

They can be sewn from the remains of fabric or cut pieces from unnecessary things.

2. Developing soft cushion-machine will help in the game form to learn colors and geometric shapes.

An instance on the photo is crocheted.

In general, you can create a pattern yourself or draw, using the above ideas.

3. Naughty cat from the shreds.

4. This penguin is crocheted in a crochet. The main loops are half-pins with a crochet, but you can use others, based on your knitting experience.

5. Pillows of different shapes.

Recommendations for choosing the filler

1. Choose for packing to be material that is simply erased. Since things falling into the hands of a child tend to quickly become dirty.
2. The filler should be light in weight. Because pillows are used by children and as a building material for their homes, besides they constantly move from one room to another. And anyway, are you leaving with heavy things? It's probably every child that loves to make fights.

These requirements are met by holofiber, sintepuh, polystyrene.
