Some explanations on sewing according to patterns: 1. On the upper pattern, triangles are added there - allowances so that when turning out parts from dense fleecy material they do not bulge. It is necessary to carve out 2 parts for the torso and head and 4 for the ears. Stitched and stuffed (the direction of stuffing is shown by arrows) parts must be connected with the letters indicated on the pattern

2. according to the lower pattern, then item 6-6-4, then sewn into the back of the head of the rabbit's head, with a tapering angle towards the back. Detail 6-6-5 - in front of the head, at an angle of 5 to the spout. etc. All parts are numbered along the edges, due to which you can understand how they are located.

For convenience, I post both articles here:

And now our advice:

First of all prepare workplace . Immutable rule: the light should fall from the left side. On the table at which you will work, there should not be anything superfluous.

It is desirable that the surface of the table is not polished. It is better to cover it with white rough paper.
Put the tools on the right, and the samples and instructions on the left. Well, if you prepare a waste basket in advance, then the workplace will be clean all the time, which also creates a good working mood.

TOOLS:
For work you will need the following tools:
- awl;
- ruler;
- pliers;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- a cutter for a pattern;
- needles;
- iron;
- threads;
- cardboard;
- shreds;
- tracing paper;
- wire;
- copy paper.
- penknife;

Awl needed for piercing blanks.
Pliers useful for giving the desired bend to the wire frame.
needles different ones are needed. With a very thin needle, it is good to sew on bead eyes. The details of the toy are sewn with a medium needle. (A darning needle is not suitable as the eye of the needle will get stuck in the fabric.) A large needle is useful for working with fluffy threads.

Needles must be in the needle bed. If you are not working with a needle, immediately stick it into the needle bed so that you do not look later and, most importantly, do not prick yourself.

Scissors should be sharp and different size. Small scissors with rounded ends (manicure) are suitable for cutting round shapes, and medium scissors are convenient for cutting fabric.

MATERIAL FOR TOYS.
Any unnecessary shreds, old felt hats, worn woolen things are useful for manufacturing. As for cotton fabric, then, of course, it is better if the fabric is new - bright and strong.

Cardboard patterns for can be made from candy boxes or shoes.
wire better to use copper. It is easily bent and cut with simple scissors.

Braid and lace, buttons and beads for the eyes found in any home. And in order for the button to become the desired color, it can be painted with nitro paint. Well, if the button has a leg.

HOW TO COLOR A BUTTON.
We fix two buttons or beads at the ends of the wire. We bend the wire. Dip the buttons in a can of paint. We take it out, let the paint drain and hang it to dry.

PACKING.
It is best to stuff the toy with technical cotton wool, which is easier to work with than with medical one. You can use scraps of unnecessary shreds, synthetic winterizer.

THREADS.
Work well with white and black threads No. 40. Red floss colors will suit for mouths. Bangs, pigtails, manes, ponytails can be made from woolen or artificial threads.

HOW TO WORK WITH PATTERNS.
In the section “design - toy” (or by tag ““) drawings of patterns of a soft toy are given. But you need to get your pattern. Print our patterns or redraw them on tracing paper, and then transfer the pattern to cardboard through carbon paper. If there is no copy paper at hand, you can make such paper yourself. For this reverse side tracing paper should be shaded with a soft simple pencil.

Some patterns of the “toys” section are reduced. To enlarge the pattern to its actual size, you need to draw it into squares with a side of 1 cm, and then draw a grid with a side of a square of 2 cm and redraw the pattern square by square into it.

After the pattern drawing is transferred to cardboard, carefully cut it out with scissors. Keep the patterns in separate envelopes, as they may still be useful to you.

Then take the desired fabric and iron well. Lay the ironed fabric face down on the table. Put a cardboard pattern on top and circle it along the contour. For light fabric use a simple pencil, for dark - light. It is better not to use chalk, as a wide contour is obtained, which can distort the pattern.

You need to cut out the details of the toy not along the contour (except in specially specified cases), but slightly stepping back from the edge to leave room for the seams.

The fairy-tale rabbit, being a cartoon character, fell in love with many children. Every child dreams of having such a toy friend to spend time with him and fall asleep in the same bed. You can fulfill the dream of your child not only by buying a toy, but also by making it yourself. Moreover, the creation of mother's hands will be loved and more expensive than the store. In order to create beautiful toy, you will need quite a few things: just a couple of pieces of fabric, a rabbit pattern and a little imagination.

Best friend

Soft and cute rabbit toy can become best friend for any child. To do this, the craft needs to be made as cute and functional as possible, that is, do not use fragile and small jewelry to decorate it. Best for tailoring and decor choose natural fabrics or fur. When using fur material (especially natural), you should make sure that the child does not have allergies.

The size of the future crafts may be different, depending on the age of the baby. But many needlewomen advise not to do too much big toys so that they can be washed and dried quickly. Also, you do not need to sew a very small rabbit, because he will get tired of the child very quickly. Therefore, it is best to choose the average size, about twenty to thirty-five centimeters. As for clothes fairy tale hero, then it must match the gender of the child, because not every boy will like a rabbit in a dress. But for girls there are no restrictions.

Toy style

Among the huge number of styles of toys, Tilda crafts are especially popular. The creator of this trend, Toni Finnanger, was able to embody the simplicity of forms and the graceful magnificence of fabric dolls in her crafts. Recognized worldwide for their sophistication, all Tilda products are the favorite toys of many children. One of the features of such toys are Long hands and legs, as well as a minimal outline of the face. Also in the collection of the needlewoman there are rabbits. The charming rabbit Tilda, the pattern of which is placed below, is the most favorite exhibit of many people from among all the crafts of the artist.

When cutting out the details of the toy from the fabric, you need to take into account the fact that the pattern is shown without a seam allowance, so you should make a small indent from the edges of about 1-1.5 cm. If this is not done, you will get too narrow details that can ruin appearance crafts.

Also, the Tilda rabbit (whose pattern is placed in the article) is drawn on a small scale, which can be enlarged if desired. As a filler, you can choose a synthetic winterizer, holofiber or synthetic winterizer. As for the design of the face, you need to sew two small beads in the area where the eyes are located, and embroider the nose with a triangle, using embroidery threads. You will also need to lightly brown the cheeks of the rabbit, using blush. You should also pay attention to the fact that the ears of a fashionable rabbit can be sewn in different ways. In one case, they are cut out from one material, and in the other, a fabric of two colors is used. As a rule, the inside of the ears in this case should be made of multi-colored linen or cotton.

fluffy gift

No less charming and cute than a fabric rabbit looks like a rabbit made of fur. To create such magnificence, it is best to choose short-haired fur that will not crumble. The toy can be sewn in several ways, resorting to a combination of material and making it completely furry. In the first case, the head of the craft is cut out of some kind of soft fabric, and all other details are made of fur. This version of a toy rabbit looks very beautiful and original. Below is a fur rabbit pattern that is suitable for sewing both types of crafts.

Speaking about the design of the muzzle of a rabbit, it should be mentioned that very expressive eyes should be made on a completely fur toy. Most often they use special ones that look like real ones. Making them yourself is very difficult, so you need to use purchased parts. As for the combined crafts, they look equally charming on it different eyes. They can be purchased, embroidered or made from beads and buttons.

Long-eared surprise

Between everyone toy rabbits there are few differences, most often it is different kinds material taken for tailoring, as well as the shape of their ears. Such a handicraft may have ears middle length, erect ears, as well as very long ears, which sometimes reach the height of the craft. Below is a pattern of a rabbit with long ears that any child will surely like.

The toy depicted in the pattern can be sewn from various materials. Therefore, it may look like Tilda crafts or like the above fur version. In any case, the rabbit toy will turn out to be very beautiful. Sometimes a soft wire is inserted into the ears of such products so that they can be lifted. But most often, long-eared rabbits are made with falling and soft ears.

Desired scale

Very often it turns out that the rabbit pattern shown in the figure does not fit in size. Sometimes you want to sew a toy more, and sometimes less. In this case, you should resort to zooming in or out. It is not difficult to do this, you need to take the finished image of the details, and if you need to enlarge them, then add a few centimeters along the edges of the product. If it should be reduced, then you need to measure the pattern data with a ruler and draw it, taking into account the changes, subtracting a few centimeters along the edges.

When making such changes in the toy, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the rabbit pattern is filed taking into account the proportions of the body of the craft. Therefore, you do not need to draw images by eye, without having certain skills. It is best to follow the recommendations of the experts as stated above. If it is difficult to make a correct pattern on a regular landscape sheet, then you should use a sheet from a squared notebook or special paper designed for this purpose. It will be much easier to draw details on it and make various roundings correctly.

Unusual stuffing

As a rule, the same materials are used for stuffing toys, these are synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer or holofiber, as mentioned above. But sometimes other fillers are used to give the craft durability. Most often, these are various cereals that are pleasantly felt through the fabric. Being completely natural, such ingredients will not harm the playing child.

When using natural fillings, one must take into account the fact that cereals are heavier than synthetic fillings. Therefore, the pattern of the rabbit and the material for its tailoring should be chosen taking into account this nuance. It should also be remembered that before using any cereal, it must be well fried so that it does not deteriorate inside the craft. Although this method of filling products is completely natural, it has one big drawback - it is impossible to wash the toy. Therefore, it is most often used for crafts that are used as room decor.

DIY toys: simple master classes, best patterns, interesting ideas.

As the great Coco Chanel said, “Handmade things are a luxury. It is not necessary for everyone to have them. Anyone who wants to have them makes them himself or pays the master for his work.

Soft toy is the first association of plush baby bear. But there is much more to the concept of a soft toy. This is an interior toy Tilda, and funny toys in the car, and much more. This article contains a variety of types of soft toys, as well as techniques for their implementation and step-by-step master classes.

DIY soft toys

Such toys can be divided into several subspecies: for children and adults, interior toys, with practical use (for example, needle beds).

Also, toys can be divided according to the type of material used: fur, from cotton or linen fabrics, from felt, from fantasy fabrics.

Today, folk toys have regained special popularity, as well as Stuffed Toys made in national needlework techniques.

DIY soft fur toy

Fur toy created with my own hands especially warm and beautiful. For its tailoring, you can use both natural and artificial fur. With artificial, of course, it is much easier to work, but deciding to sew a toy with natural fur you will receive a unique author's toy! First you need to decide on the pattern of the toy, the more ready product the easier it will be to work. Small details are especially difficult for beginners.

Circle the details and cut out with a margin of 0.5 cm per seam. Unlike fabric, it is best not to use scissors when working with fur. If you don't have a special tailor's knife, use a sharp utility knife. Cut with sharp short strokes, do not drive the knife deep so as not to cut off the fur.

To sew the fur, it is necessary to apply two front sides to each other and straighten the fur outward. After sewing the toy, it is necessary to leave a small hole through which the toy is turned inside out and stuffed with filler. Previously, toys were stuffed with cotton wool, pieces of leftover fabric.

But such stuffing dries for a very long time when washing, and often after cleaning the toy was thrown away only because the stuffing did not dry out and mold appeared inside. Modern fillers are made of synthetic materials (synthetic winterizer and others), which dry quickly and well, do not stray and retain their shape. Having stuffed, it remains to sew with a hidden seam.

The final touch is the eyes, nose and mouth. You can embroider yourself, or you can buy ready-made accessories in the store.

DIY soft toy made of felt

Today, felt toys are the most popular at children's master classes and needlework circles. But they appeared not so long ago, and there is even an exact date of their appearance.

Margaret Steiff and her first dolls

Enterprising German woman Margarethe Steiff came up with the idea in a housewives magazine to sew a soft toy with her own hands from felt. In the magazine, absolutely free of charge, Margaret published a pattern and a detailed master class. But in the note she said where exactly you can buy felt for such toys.

Such a move in 1879 made it possible to establish a toy empire in just a few years. The nuance was that the toys were both sewn at the factory, and they sold blanks for toys that could be sewn on their own. She left the empire to her children and grandchildren, and gave the world fashion for a soft toy.

Master class felt dog

For work you will need: brown, white and black felt, scissors, a needle and thread, beads or eyes for toys and a hot glue gun.

We print out the pattern, cut and sew each piece step by step.

Depending on the type of seam, you can create completely different textures of the toy.

If the parts are glued together, the toy can only be cleaned in a dry way. When wet, the parts will separate.

DIY soft toys made of fabric

Fabric toys appeared much earlier than felt ones. But with the advent of fur and plush toys they were unfairly forgotten for some time. With the advent of plastic, even children's toys made of fabric fell out of use. But today with a new wave of popularity on manual work once again revived the popularity of the fabric toy. The most popular interior toy today is Tilda.

When looking at the Tilda doll, one gets the feeling that the roots of this toy go far back to the Middle Ages. Not at all. The appearance of Tilda was in the 90s of the last century by a young designer Tony Finnanger. The girl was full of ideas and one of the many ideas was Tilda. Today, without it, it is impossible to imagine a gentle, homely interior. And craftswomen from all over the world are simply in love with Tony's idea and create prototypes to their taste.

Fluffy easter bunny. Sewing from fur with ears using dry felting technique. Master class from the author - Irina Shcherbakova Irentoys

To create this rabbit we need:

• fur (I have a plush with a pile of about 13 mm);
• eyes 12 mm;
• cotter pin O-shaped - 2 pcs. or T-shaped - 1 pc.;
• washers for cotter pins;
• disk with a diameter of 20 mm - 2 pcs;
• wool for felting to match the fur and a little dark wool;
• felting needles (No. 36, 38, 40);
• scissors;
• kapron thread for tightening;
• glue;
• pastel.

The rabbit pattern is given below, but since I didn’t have it at first, I had to fashion a bunny from plasticine.

Then remove the pattern on tracing paper, transfer it from tracing paper to paper and bring it to mind.

Here is the pattern. It shows letters that can be transferred to the fur so as not to get confused. The arrow indicates the direction of the pile. Paired parts should be mirrored.

We transfer the pattern to the fur, according to the direction of the pile. We cut out the details, not forgetting the allowances (about 7 mm) for the seams.

First, we sew the tucks on all the details of the head. I perform all seams with a frequent seam “back needle”.

Now it's time to sew the head pieces together. On the pattern for this, letters are affixed. First, we sew the side symmetrical parts (segment AB). Then we sew in a small detail of the chin (sections BV and WB).

Here's what happens. Now it's the turn of the top of the head.

We sew (segments AG and GA) and turn out through the remaining hole.

Important! If your material is spilling along the edge, then you need to coat the edges with PVA glue diluted 1: 1 with water. In my case, the base of the fur is very strong, dense and not loose, so I don’t do this.

We stuff tightly.

Before sewing up the head, we insert the cotter pin into it according to the scheme. We sew the head with a hidden seam.

We proceed in the same way with the details of the body. First we sew the tucks, then we sew the parts according to the indicated letters, leaving a hole for eversion. Having turned out, we put the body aside, we return to the head.

With a strong thread (I have a nylon thread) in two additions, we tighten the eyes. We introduce the needle into the place of the tucks on the segments AG and GA of the upper part of the head. Then we introduce a needle next to this place by 7 mm towards the back of the head. We remove the needle in the place where the fastener is located. We tighten and tie.

Let's start grooming the rabbit. On the entire muzzle in front we leave a uniform short pile, with smooth transition on a long pile at the back.

Trimmed cheeks and lower part and we see that a mouth has appeared, which also needs to be pulled away. For tightening, we introduce a needle with a thread to point B, then to the place where the eye was pulled, then to the place of attachment. Do the same with the other end of the thread.

I took transparent eyes and painted them with dark brown acrylic. In places where the darts on the top part coincide with the side parts, eyes will be sewn in. We find these points and mark with pins. Check the symmetry of the pins.

We sew an eye into this place. Behind the eye, towards the crown, we also cut off the pile.

We smear the knots of threads from tightening and from sewing on the eyes with glue. Cut off with scissors.

In the workpiece of the body (at point E), we introduce a fastening pin with a head. We put a disk and a washer on the cotter pin. We twist, or rather, wedged the cotter pin with thin-nosed pliers.

For the same twisted cotter pin, we fasten the nylon thread in two additions to tighten the body. We thread the ends of this thread into the needle and bring out the bottom of the body at point G, leaving a small distance between the ends of the threads, for further tightening.

Pour in the granulate. Stuff with padding polyester and sew with a hidden seam.

The final step along the sewn part will be the tightening of the calf.

The result is a blank, which is simple and which we will complicate with attached parts. Go.

Take two bundles of wool for the ears. We dump the approximate shape of the ear with a coarse needle.

We try on, given that the ear will still decrease by a third. We work the surface with a thin needle, forming the bends of the ear.

In addition to the lower fluffy part, which will cling to the head, the entire ear is polished completely. We try on, fixing with pins.

It's the turn of the front paws. We take the same amount of wool for each. We begin to form a foot from wool with a fluffy end for sticking to the body. The fluffy end should be pointing up.

On the paws, we work out the fingers with a needle. We try on, securing with pins.

Every mother wants her child to have only quality toys, but you can't be sure that a toy is made from hypoallergenic materials. Or you can sew a soft bunny toy with your own hands and decide for yourself what materials it will be made of. Many toys are easy enough to sew, even a beginner can easily handle it. For example, you can sew a bunny for your child.
First, draw a hare pattern on paper and cut it out. Then take any light fabric, you can even take an old T-shirt.
Outline the pattern on the fabric, folded in half, right sides inward. Cut out, leaving allowances around the edges.

Then pin the fabric with needles and sew along the line. To turn inside out, make an incision on the front side, in the place where the eyes will be.

Turn inside out and straighten all seams.
It is better to stuff a toy with a padding polyester. It is not worth stuffing tightly so that the toy is soft and pleasant to the touch to the child. Start stuffing the paws first, and then the torso and head.
Now you need to sew up the incision. Eyes can be made from white felt or any soft fabric.

First, cut out two circles and embroider eyes with threads. Then we sew around the eyes to the toy. To make the eyes more voluminous, you can put a little synthetic winterizer inside.
At the end, we embroider the nose, circles on the paws and a cross on the stomach with black thread. It is convenient to embroider with a back seam needle.
This is such a funny bunny. Delight your kids more often with new toys at no cost.
