How to sew a hare? Selection of material, pattern, order of work

Many needlewomen, who have small children, are concerned about how to sew a hare. This article presents several sewing techniques. Let's talk about what fabrics are best used for making soft toys with their own hands. There will be a detailed master-class on sewing fur toys, as well as a technology for making a long-eared friend from the sock.

Materials and Tools

We recommend keeping all items handy before you start work. They just need to work.

Cardboard or polyethylene for patterns. The most convenient material for the patterns is dense polyethylene. Through it, the material is clearly visible, and it is impossible to err in the layout of the pattern. This is especially important for fabrics with a pattern. The patterns of polyethylene are not torn and do not crumple. You can store them in a file for documents. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase such polyethylene, then replace it with cardboard.

Marker for marking the material. Optimal choice - disappearing marker. As the alcohol evaporates, the image disappears. Do not need anything to wash and worry that the marks will spoil the appearance of the product, over which you have piled so much. The only disadvantage of the disappearing marker is the high price. Yet this is a professional tool. If you are not sure what will be sewing in the future, then you can do with small or graphite pencil.

Professional tools: roller knife, ruler, mat. At first you just need to have in your arsenal a school ruler, a centimeter tape and ordinary scissors (you can stationery). If you want to sew soft toys in the future, you can purchase professional seamstress tools:

• Tailoring scissors;
• Scissors-zigzag (so as not to fall off edges);
• Roller knife (for quick cutting circles and ovals).

Threads

It is important that they are quality: strong and not shed. Since we will sew a stuffed toy, the seams will be stretched during the packing. Seams should be strong, but elastic. For sewing a hare, get strong polyester threads for machine stitching.

How to sew a hare and how to fill it

A soft toy will need something to fill. Let's consider the main types of fillers. We will conditionally divide them into two groups: natural and synthetic. Take care of this in advance.

Natural Fillers

Vata. The most affordable and cheap type of filler. In addition, it is completely natural, and nothing terrible will happen if the child even swallows a small part. A huge disadvantage is that the cotton material absorbs moisture. Over time, the toy may appear mold, which is absolutely unacceptable for children's things.

Significant disadvantages you can find out when stuffing. Experienced craftsmen know about them well, but they can spoil the beginner's needlewomen.

Cotton is hard to stuff a toy with a complex design: elbows folds, hard-to-reach and bottlenecks. After washing, a thing stuffed with cotton wool looks awful, the natural material is stuck in lumps. It will not be possible to sweep it inside the toy - it will be necessary to unpack the product.

Wool. This is a good kind of filler for a toy, sewn from a dense dark fabric, or a knitted thing. Through a thin light fabric, all the irregularities on the soft friend's body will be visible. Many needlewomen use remnants of woolen threads for this purpose. Raspushayut them and stuffed products.

Quality, but not cheap filler - a sliver . This is the sheep's sheared wool. The huge disadvantage is that it is sold in rolls. It is not profitable to buy it for making one toy. Buy a sliver, if you want to let the manufacture of expensive and high-quality products to flow.

It's not easy to work with a slicker. First you need to fluff the material. To fill a toy it is necessary slowly, gently pushing a filler with a stick. You can not wash the product. You can put it in dry cleaners or freeze for disinfection in the freezer. You can put the toy in a bag with soda, shake well, get the product and vacuum it.

Herbs. If you want to sew a toy for sleep, then an excellent choice will be a filler of herbs. You can collect them yourself or buy at a pharmacy.

Synthetic fillers

Synthepuh. With this filler, you can achieve a perfectly flat surface. It is very light and soft. The material was invented specifically for stuffing toys, so it has almost no cons, and it's easy to work with it.

Synthepon. Inexpensive filler, which can be found in any handmade store, it is sold in rolls. Before work, you need to break it with your hands. The material is not suitable for filling dolls with a tilde with thin legs and handles. Puppet girls will have "cellulite" from this material.

Before you sew a hare, you need to choose a harmonious combination of colors of fabrics. If you use several colors, you can use the color wheel. Try not to combine cold and warm colors. Focus on how "tasty" the combination looks. Remember that a properly selected palette should delight the eye and evoke emotions and a desire to touch a thing.
