Everyone loves soft toys. They remind adults of a carefree childhood, and for children they are friends and comrades.
If you want to give your baby a sincere gift, sew this wonderful toy yourself, putting all your love and skill into it. The child will certainly feel and appreciate the positive energy emanating from the craft.
In this article you will learn how to make linen toys with your own hands.
Toy patterns can be taken from the Internet, or you can make them yourself.
We suggest making a simple teddy bear with a simple shape, but very cute and playful.
The pattern consists of only 3 parts: a body with ears and legs, a nose and 2 arms.
Materials:
- Thick linen;
- Black beads – 2 pieces for eyes;
- For the nose – a circle of black skin.
Master class on making Misha:
- We cut out the body of the bear from fabric - 2 pieces;
- Cut out handles - 4 pieces;
- Nose circle;
- White circles for the eyes, equal in size to the nose - 2 white pieces.
Master class on handmade linen toys
- Sew 2 white circles to one half of the body - for the eyes.
- We sew two pairs of handles, leaving the straight part unsewn.
- We fold the parts of the body face to face, insert the handles inside, and chop them off.
- We sew the torso together, retreating 1/2 centimeter from the edges, leaving a small hole between the legs.
- Turn it inside out and sew up the hole.
- There are some details left - we embroider the mouth with thread.
- We take a leather circle, stitch it along the contour, and tighten it. We put padding polyester inside.
- Attach the nose to the teddy bear.
- The final touch is to sew the pupil beads to the white circles. Sew them right above the nose. You will get a very funny face.
Patterns using this technique are very simple to make and very original in appearance. You can make several similar animals and decorate your child’s room with them.
Or you can make the same bear using a different pattern - a more realistic image.
In terms of manufacturing, it is also very simple - 2 parts. One is the body with a head and 4 legs, the second is the nose.
Materials:
- Linen fabric for the bear's body;
- Filling – holofiber, padding polyester;
- Black beads for eyes.
It is very easy to make linen toys using this pattern.
The master class is as follows:
- We fold the piece of material in half, face inward, put the bear pattern on it and trace the outline. Cut out, leaving a seam allowance of ½ centimeter.
- We sew the contours along the wrong side, leaving a small area for filling.
- We make small cuts along the rounded parts so that the fabric does not tighten.
- Fill the bear tightly with padding polyester, first turning it onto its face, and sew up the open area.
- You can draw a nose, you can cut a circle out of black fabric, tighten it around the perimeter, fill it with padding polyester and sew it on.
- We draw dots - eyes.
- We tie a beautiful delicate satin bow around the neck.
- Instead of a clasp, we sew 3 mother-of-pearl beads.
- To finish the job, dip your fingertips in blush and give our Misha a blush on his cheeks.
Soft toys can be very diverse; you can sew any animal and any object. The letters of your child's name, made of fabric and filled with padding polyester, look very interesting.
To sew such toys, it is better to choose linen fabrics with small, discreet pastel patterns. This is a small pea, a delicate flower, a dot. In this design, they turn out to be very delicate, beautiful and will certainly become your baby’s favorite toys and a worthy decoration for the interior of his room.
