Before starting work, the material must be ironed well and get rid of wrinkles. Then we proceed according to the scheme:
- The pattern of the toy dog is transferred to the material, all fragments are cut out along the contour.
- We work with two parts of the legs. We use them to insert them from the inside, aligning them on the flat side. Mark a line in the center. The length should allow the master's hand to pass inside. The filling will be carried out through the hole. We secure the fragments with pins and make a seam near the edge. We do not sew the marked gap.
- We open the paws from the inside out, placing one side on the part of the dog’s body. We fasten with pins and make a seam near the edge.
- We proceed in the same way with the second element of the body and the other part of the paw.
- From each leg we remove the material in turn from all corners and sides. Carefully press the stitching on the sides and bottom. We make marks on the sides and retreat a centimeter from them. We draw a segment and make a seam along it. This will increase the stability of the toy.
- We attach the ears with pins to the head on the dog's body. We make seams on both sides, leaving a centimeter at the end of the unstitched material. We connect and sew the triangular fabric of the crown.
- We attach the lower part of the head to the body, sew on both sides, leaving a free centimeter of fabric at the end.
- We connect and stitch all the elements.Only the gap for stuffing the toy remains unsewn.
- Turn the product onto your face. Using a crochet hook, carefully draw out the details of the tail and ears.
- To fill the legs we use cereal. It can be replaced with sand. This gives the toy stability. We make four bags for filling. You will need four pieces of material 16x8 centimeters. They need to be folded in half, sewn along both edges, filled with cereal through the unstitched side and sewed up.
- We stuff the dog with padding polyester, holofiber or other material. Initially, insert one bag of cereal into each paw. After filling the main part, similarly insert the filler into the tail and ears, then into the remaining elements.
- We manually stitch together the filling gap left earlier.
- All that remains is to decorate the toy with a “noble” bandage around the neck. We put a bell on the ribbon. We sew the ribbon and hide the seam under the pendant.
- From threads, beads or other materials we make the animal’s eyes and sew in a nose.
