You don’t even have to spend a penny on it if you have fabric and any filler for toys at home (this can be foam rubber or padding polyester from old toys or pillows).

It will be convenient to sew on a sewing machine, but you can also sew a cat by hand.
Let's make a pattern for small details (ears, legs, arms and tail) The body will be large enough, so we draw it directly on the fabric (on the wrong side, folding the fabric in half). To draw the body even, you need to draw a half of an oval, then fold the fabric in half and cut it out. Then cut out the ears. To make them look prettier, you can make the front part of a bright fabric. Also cut out details for handles from another fabric.

We sew all the details. We sew the arms and legs completely. When you sew the torso, leave an unsewn area in the tail area.
To turn the legs and arms from behind, we make small cuts. Then turn inside out and fill with padding polyester.
We also fill the ears with a padding polyester a little, then we make two cuts in the body and insert the ears there as shown in the photo and lay the line. Then we turn the body inside out and fill it with padding polyester. No need to stuff tightly, the body should be soft.
Sew up the cuts on the arms and legs. We fill a little with synthetic winterizer.

8) Turn inside out.

9) Fill with filler.

10) We sew up the hole through which the pillow was stuffed with a hidden seam.

It is impossible not to fall in love with the original little animals and cartoon characters made in the form of pillows - they immediately win the hearts of kids and adults. Thanks to a special cut, using a toy pillow is convenient, pleasant and healthy, since, in addition to aesthetic qualities, the product performs an orthopedic role.

Even a novice needlewoman can settle funny new settlers in her house.

Do-it-yourself pillow

Splyushki toys are easy to make with your own hands, even without a special pattern.

To brighten up the rest of the child, keeping him company in traveling through night dreams, the cool cat Bayun can.

The cat shown in the picture is sewn from satin. The eyes, nose, mustache and claws of this soft toy, as well as similar models, are usually embroidered with floss threads or wool. It is not recommended to use buttons and other protruding plastic parts - during sleep they will put pressure on the baby's skin, and an awake child, while playing, may accidentally tear off loose fragments of his pet's muzzle.

To sew splyushki toys with your own hands, it is not necessary to make patterns. Such patterns are easy to draw on your own. The principle of their construction is the same - the “cushion” needs to take the place where the head of the sleeping child will be, and at the location of his neck, at the head, there should be free space.

This is more clearly seen in the photo..

The cow, the dog and the owl shown in the photo will "hang" their legs on the child's shoulders, and the baby's head will comfortably sit on the tummy of funny toys.

Standard patterns of do-it-yourself pillows-toys are not needed, because it is better to make product patterns according to individual measurements. For example, a cow and a dog can be sewn according to the same pattern - the toys have exactly the same body shape, and the difference is only in the design of the muzzle and in some other details. By sewing long ears to the body, cut out according to the same pattern, and by applique or embroidering eyes, nose and toothy mouth, you can get a bunny, and by making shorter triangle ears and a long tail, you can get a cat. That is, a dog in skillful hands can easily turn into a cat or a bunny.

star pattern

The star pillow pattern consists of:

• 2 pieces of a star pattern;
• 1 rectangular facing.

The width of the facing is equal to the height of the pillow, and its length is the length of all the rays. In the process of sewing, the facing is connected into a ring, and then sewn to the rays around the entire perimeter of the future pillow.

The corners at which the rays end are slightly rounded when sewing. sharp edges protruding triangles can not be cut.

At the end of the work, one of the beams is left unsewn - the product is turned out through it, filled with stuffing material, and only then the resulting slot is finally sewn up.

More details step by step description making a star pillow can be found on the Internet pages of craftswomen mothers in the master classes provided by them.

Typewriter diagram

Any boy, including one who stubbornly refuses to sleep during the day, will gladly take a nap in his own car.

The scheme is shown in the figure.

Such a machine is able to decorate the baby's bed and is sewn like a pillowcase, so that if necessary it can be easily removed and washed.

pillowcase toys

The magic hands of moms can turn an ordinary pillow into a toy or an animal. In the above models, not the pillow itself, but its pillowcase will undergo changes.

The easiest way is to reconstruct a pillowcase for a book cover. To do this, you need a bright fabric with an interesting pattern that imitates a palette, and fine striped fabric for the “pages” of the book.

The final result will look something like this:

No less difficult will be the transformation of a baby pillow into a bear or other animal. To do this, from the same fabric as the pillowcase, you will have to sew and stuff the head of a toy animal. The paws of the animal will turn out by themselves if you tie the pillow in the middle with a ribbon.

Do-it-yourself patterns of toy pillows can not be found, but such patterns are built in the same way as the head patterns of any soft toy you like. It is only necessary to slightly adjust the scale of the proposed template so that the size of the animal's head is approximately 1/4 the size of the pillowcase.

Product Requirements

The pillow toy is primarily intended for children, Therefore, products must meet the following requirements:

The pillow should be stuffed moderately - the product should be soft enough and not too hard, otherwise the child may experience discomfort during sleep.

To update the interior of the children's room and make the baby's bed more comfortable, it is enough to decorate it with a couple of decorative pillows. We offer creative mothers to sew them with their own hands, because this is done quickly, simply and on a budget. The main thing here is to invent interesting design and choose the right materials.

In this article, we have collected 30 inspirational photo examples of baby pillows for beginners and experienced crafters, and also prepared 3 step by step master class sewing by hand:

1. Pillows-toys in the form of a cloud.
2. Letter pillows.
3. Patchwork pillows.

• Combine different pillows with each other, so the interior will be more fun. The composition can be combined by the shape, color or print of products. When choosing fabrics, it is easiest to focus on the colors and patterns of the wallpaper, as well as on the rest of the textiles in the children's room. For example, pillows can echo curtains, sofa upholstery and, of course, a blanket.
• Thinking about the style and decor of the future product, consider the style of the interior. If, say, for modern interior you can sew bright toy pillows, then products are more suitable for soothing colors and traditional styles in the form of rollers and pillows with ruffles or tassels as in the photo below.

• For sewing baby pillows, it is advisable to use natural and dense fabrics (linen, cotton), which are much easier to wash, say, felt, and look much more beautiful than synthetics like fleece.
• Before sewing, the fabric should be washed and ironed, then you will sew already taking into account the shrinkage of the material.
• It is clear that children's pillows should be washed often, but how to wash decorative pillows that do not have pillowcases and must always retain their shape? As a filler for children's spy toys and soft sides, we recommend using:

1. Sintepuh (not to be confused with synthetic winterizer);
2. Holofiber.

These materials are hypoallergenic, hold their shape well after washing, and can be washed in washing machine at low temperature even with spin. Unfortunately, synthetic winterizer, natural fluff, buckwheat, batting, foam rubber and other fillers do not have such properties.

• If you want to make a decorative and sleeping pillow at the same time, for example, a cushion or a side for a crib, then it is recommended to sew not just a pillow, but a pillowcase with a pillowcase. After all, removable pillowcases are much easier to wash, besides, by sewing one pillowcase and a pair of matching pillowcases, you can update the interior according to your mood.

Master class number 1: Sweater cloud pillow

As you know, the world of children's interiors has its own trends, and such pillows in the form of clouds are just at the peak of popularity. They are good because they are easy to sew, look cute and are suitable for decorating the room of both a boy and a girl. In this master class, we will tell you how to sew a soft cloud with your own hands from any sweater in a pleasant color.

Materials:

1. Sweater (preferably made of polyester, not acrylic. By the way, instead of a sweater, you can take an old cotton sweatshirt, T-shirt, etc.);
2. Sintepukh;
3. Sewing accessories;
4. Sewing machine (if any);
5. Paper for making patterns.

Step 1. We draw a pattern on paper in the form of a cloud or any other figure that you like.

Step 2. Turn the sweater inside out (!) and attach the resulting template (including the back layer of fabric) to it with pins as shown in the photo. Then we trace the contour of the cloud and begin to cut out blanks with an indent of about 0.7 mm (for allowances).

Step. 3. Now we begin to grind the two parts of the pillow along the previously drawn contour, but be sure to leave about 10 cm unsewn.

Step 4. In the places where the cloud is rounded and in the corners, we make cuts - this will make the shape of the pillow neater and more correct.

Step 5. Turn the pillow inside out and stuff it tightly with filler, helping yourself, for example, chopstick. Lastly, close the opening with a blind stitch.

Woo-ala! The baby pillow is ready!

Based on this master class, you will be able to sew pillows of the most different forms and colours. For example, a cloud may have arms and legs, beady eyes and rosy felt cheeks.

Instead of a cloud, you can sew a star, a raindrop, a moon, a heart or candy. See examples of such pillows in the following selection of photos.

Master class number 2: Pillow-letter

And now we offer to sew another simple, but original letter pillow, which will help to personalize the nursery or bed, if, for example, there are more children.

Materials:

1. Textile;
2. Sintepukh;
3. Sewing accessories;
4. Sewing machine.

By combining 3 types of fabric, you can use leftover leftovers and make the pillow design more fun.

Step 1. Select a letter, draw it (or print it in A4 format) and cut it out along the contour.

Step 2. Now we need to cut out two parts of the pillow - front and back.

• To cut the front of the pillow, you need to: on the fabric lying face up, put our template with the same face up, circle it and then cut out the blank.
• To cut out the back side of the letter, you need to: do everything the same, but first turn the template upside down, that is, according to the principle of mirror reflection.

Step 3. Now you should prepare the sidewall of the pillow.

• Its length should be equal to the perimeter of the letter + 2 cm for allowances. You determine the width of the sidewall yourself, for example, it can be 4 cm, then, taking into account the 2 cm allowance for the seams, the width of the workpiece will be 6 cm.

But since you probably won't be able to cut a single strip of fabric, you will need to cut several strips of the same width and sew them together to end up with one strip of the desired length.

Step 4. Sew the sidewall to the first letter. To do this, we fold them facing each other and begin to grind around the entire perimeter of the workpiece.

• For convenience, the side strip can be attached with pins.

We repeat the same procedure with the second half of the pillow, but leave a small segment unfinished.
