How to sew a pillow-cat (pattern and sequence of actions)?

To make a simple accessory, you need to do the following:

1. Make paper workpieces.
2. Lay out the elements on the fabric, circle with allowances for seams and cut.
3. The parts are usually scratched on the wrong side with subsequent inverting and filling with a synthepon or holofayber. Do not forget to leave a small hole for this, which is sewn by hand at the very end.
4. If the ears and tail are cut out as individual parts, they should be sewn to the finished product or to the seam.
5. The eye, nose, mouth and mustache are embroidered (do not forget to use the embroidery frame) or the workpieces are attached using a needle and thread. It is necessary to do this by grinding the joints of the base. You can stick the parts in the last place.

Work always follows this pattern, regardless of the complexity of the product. The technology differs by the number of seams that need to be made. The simplest thing is to connect two identical parts in the form of a cat's silhouette. In this case, you actually make only one seam, if the tail is not executed by a separate piece. In the figure below, the pattern assumes the presence of a lateral part in the pillow as well. For this two additional strips are made. So, the product can be given more volume.

Although it is enough to sew just two parts.

The simplest product

If you do not like scribbling along arched lines, you can choose a very easy way. You quickly and effortlessly get a pillow-cat with your own hands. Patterns here generally you can not do. The base is made in the form of an ordinary rectangle or square, and ears, tail and details of the face are sewn to it.

If you select a material with cat stories and patterns, you will get an original, eye-catching, bright accessory.

Flat product of complex shape

The first option is performed as one with the tail and ears. In the diagram, the arrow indicates the direction of the share thread, although if the size of the fabric does not allow the part to be positioned exactly this way, do as possible. It's not a dress, it's just a small accessory. The allowances for seams and the line where the stitch is made are also indicated. The opening for eversion and filling is left on the side.

The second option is a great idea for Valentine's Day. The contour of the product is very similar to the heart, and additional decorative patches of the same shape can be used in any number and size.

In the third sample, the tail is made by a separate part and sewn to the base. You need to cut two parts of each element.

Pillow in the form of a cat's muzzle

Another cheerful option is the head of an animal with an emotional expression of a face that can be both cheerful, contented, and sad, causing affection.

Using such a workpiece, it is possible to make a three-dimensional only the base itself, and the remaining parts can be sewn or glued flat. But it is even better to perform all the parts slightly volumetric. Sewing a spout or a detail of a muzzle, simply put under them some filler and connect an element to the end.
