Soft toy

Probably, each of us, when choosing a gift, had the thought, what if this time we did something with our own hands? After all, such present especially pleasant because they are made with soul.

It’s not at all difficult to make such a soft toy; for this we need: fleece in three colors (green, white and pink), padding polyester or other filler available to you, 2 buttons, and threads.

First, let's prepare a pattern, you can take a size convenient for you, having first reduced or enlarged this image on the computer, my cat turned out to be a little larger than A3 format.

Next, we take the green fabric, fold it face to face inward, and pin our pattern on top with needles, which we previously cut out using a paper template.

The pattern must be well attached to the fabric, otherwise the fabric will move off when cutting.

Take scissors and cut the fabric along the contour. Then we carefully remove the paper pattern, while the needles must again be left in the same places.

We sew, manually or by machine, retreating from the edge 1-1.5 cm (seam allowance), leaving a pocket of about 7-10 cm in order to fill our soft toy with padding polyester through it. Next, turn the fabric inside out - the “body” of the cat is ready. Now you need to prepare the eyes, nose and heart, also applying and securing paper templates to the fabric, carefully cutting them out and attaching them with needles. Then we sew them to the “body” of the cat with threads in the color of the fabric, using a blanket stitch. We decorate the muzzle and paws with long longitudinal stitches using pink and dark green threads.

Now we fill the toy with synthetic padding, placing the filler as tightly as possible in the ears, tail and paws of the cat. Then we carefully sew up the left “pocket.” Well, that’s all, the soft toy is ready, a funny, kind cat.)
