We sew a turtle

We will need:

• multi-colored shreds of cotton;
• cardboard template;
• synthetic winterizer;
• buttons or beads for the eyes;
• needles, threads, scissors.

Work:

• We make a pattern. To do this, draw the head, tail, paws and torso (with a radius of about 15 cm, make the bottom of the shell a little smaller);
• We attach the template to the wrong side of the material, circle it. Next, you need to cut two parts for the head, tail, shell and 8 for the legs;
• We make 4 tucks on the upper part of the body. This will add bulk to the product;

• Sew together the parts of the head and legs, stuff them with a filler. Also stitch the tail. We do not fill it;
• We sew all the details of the shell, leaving holes for the limbs and the filler;
• We connect all parts of the product with a hidden seam, sew the tail;
• We make eyes. The turtle is ready!

Soft toy "Cat"

In order to sew the “Cat”, we need a sock, and a new one. Next, decide which cat you want to get as a result - fat or thin. It depends on what place you need to cut the sock.

For a fat cat, you need the part that covers the sole. The upper part of the elastic must be pushed to the side. Then stuff the toy tightly with the filler so that the body is larger than the head.

We bend the edges of the hole inward, pin it with pins and sew it together. Stretching, we form the ears. The next step is embroidering with a thread of contrasting color of the eyes, nose and mouth.

The finished product can be decorated with a beautiful ribbon, scarf, bow, brooch.

Below are photos of a variety of soft toys that you can sew with your own hands.

Sewing toys at home is not at all difficult, and the result of such work will bring satisfaction. We wish you success!
