Do-it-yourself lovebird cats made from felt. Toy Master class Sewing Lovebirds Fabric Pillow lovebirds DIY

Handmade is a symbol of hard work, the ability to see beauty around you and create it with your own hands. And toys made independently have always been and are considered a declaration of love, because only a loved one can give the most important thing - your time and skill. INPatterning lovebird cats will help you create a symbolic toy.

"Heart Cats"

Very simple The pattern of lovebird cats is based on the shape of a heart. It allows you to create a whole toy that is not disassembled into several components.

The pattern for such a craft looks like this.

There are 4 details here:

• 1 - heads of two cats;
• 2 and 3 - bodies of two seals;
• 4 - pattern of ears.

The front side of the toy is colored, but the back side is best made monochromatic; it will unite the two cats into one whole. To work you will need fabric of three different colors. It is best to take a heart-shaped part in a single color. The bodies of the cats should be different in color, for each body you need to cut out a pair of ears and a tail of the same color, for each of which you need a strip 3 x 15 cm wide. The wrong side of the toy can be made from the same fabric as the heart part for faces. So we get:

• plain: two parts - a heart and a back;
• colored: body, 4 parts for ears and tail for each cat.

All parts must be cut out with 5 mm seam allowances. The ears are sewn in pairs, the corners are cut as close to the stitching as possible. The finished ears are turned right side out and the seams are straightened.

The tails are sewn on both sides, the sewn corners are cut off close to the stitching, the parts are turned right side out using a pencil or knitting needle, and the seams are straightened. A piece of wire is inserted into each tail, which is twisted into small rings on both sides. On the side of the unsewn edge, the wire should protrude slightly.

The front part of the toy is assembled from three parts. All seams must be cut at a distance of 3-4 mm so that there are no creases at the seams on the front side. The front part and the back are folded with the right sides inward, and the ears and tails are inserted into them. The part is stitched along the contour with the exception of a small area through which the toy must be turned out and stuffed with padding polyester. Sew the hole with a hidden seam. Decorate the faces. Bend the cats' tails to make a heart. You can decorate the toy like this: for example, sew a ribbon from two strips of colored fabric and tie it around the neck of the toy. Heart cats look like this.

Let's hug tightly!

A funny gift for lovers - lovebird cats. The “Hugging Cats” pattern will allow you to create a toy gift for friends. The proposed pattern is extremely simple, and even a child can make a gift under the guidance of adults.

Cut out 4 identical parts using the same pattern, not forgetting to mirror the other halves. The toy will be more elegant if you take fabrics of different colors with a similar pattern. They turn out very cute lovebird cats!

The “Hugging Cats” pattern involves tie paws that will connect two parts of one whole. For them, you need to cut out strips of fabric at least 6-7 centimeters wide and long enough to wrap the resulting ties around two toys and tie a bow or knot, so the length of the ties will depend on the size of the cats.

Using the same pattern, you can additionally make two parts - half a heart and a tail. They are attached using the appliqué method. But you can not cut these parts, but embroider them with a simple seam on the finished toy.

The souvenir is sewn in several stages:

• cut out details;
• sew two cats, forgetting to leave a hole at the bottom for stuffing the toy;
• cut the seam allowances, and cut off the ends of the ears as close to the stitching as possible;
• turn the toy inside out;
• sew tie paws;
• turn the paws right side out;
• Carefully sew up the hole on the legs with a hidden seam;
• sew the paws in place;
• stuff the cats with synthetic fluff;
• sew up the stuffing hole;
• embroider faces, hearts and tails, connecting two cats in place of the heart with small stitches;
• combine two cats into one toy by tying their paws.

IN Patterning lovebird cats will allow you to create an interesting gift for friends or those who love each other.

Tail by tail!

Interior or souvenir toys are popular, for example, lovebirds. You will find a master class, patterns and recommendations below.

Souvenir patterns are selected according to the material. Since the toy consists of two parts, it is best to take similar fabrics. Textile toys love natural materials - cotton, linen, knitwear. But synthetic fabrics should not be ignored either - fleece and felt are suitable materials for creating decorative elements. UncomplicatedThe pattern of lovebird cats holding each other with their tails involves the use of two similar patterned fabrics.

The pattern for creating these cats is as follows.

The toys are cut from two parts and sewn along the contour. Only a small area at the bottom side needs to be left unsewn in order to turn the toy inside out and stuff it. A little secret: you can stuff your tail with filler using a pencil or thin medical tweezers. Push the synthetic fluff carefully so as not to damage the fabric.

Soaring in the skies

Toys in the tilde style look very interesting. Lovebird cats, the pattern of which will be offered below, can be either an independent toy or form a composition. Tilda toys have their own characteristics - they are elongated in length, their shapes are streamlined, without sharp corners or sharp bends. So cats in the tilde technique are the same - light, just asking to go to heaven, like a cloud.

These toys consist of several parts. Each one needs to be cut out, not forgetting the seam allowances, sewn and stuffed with filling. The parts are connected to each other using buttons. Below you see a pattern of a floating cat using the tilde technique.

By choosing similar fabrics, sewing two cats in a mirror image and connecting both toys with small stitches at the points of contact, you will get adorable lovebird cats! A cute composition as a gift for lovers.

The art of sewing toys

Easy to sew! The main thing is to be interested in the result and use the right patterns, in which all parts of one whole fit each other perfectly. To sew lovebird cats, you should use all the techniques that are necessary when working with a textile toy:

• It is best to choose natural, high-quality, fairly dense fabrics;
• a composition of several parts looks more harmonious if the colors and textures of the fabrics are similar;
• Before turning the sewn part right side out, the seam allowances should be cut. This is especially important to do on all bends and corners of the pattern. The corners should be cut as close to the stitching as possible. This is all done so that the seams on the front side do not break, forming unsightly wrinkles;
• You need to sew the parts together with very small, invisible stitches.

If you love your work and strive for high-quality results, then everything will definitely work out! Good luck!

I’ve long wanted to try making lovebird cats, but there wasn’t the right moment. And on the eve of Valentine's Day, I urgently needed a small talisman-present.

The Samoshveyk website has already talked in detail about lovebird toys. It's no secret that such a talisman-toy personifies not only eternal love, but is also a kind of amulet.

In general, let's move on from words to action and try to sew lovebird cats from felt.

So, let's prepare all the necessary materials and tools:

• felt in three colors: pink,whiteand red;

• sewing threads: white, pink, red and black;
• sewing needle;
• bead and ribbon for decoration:
• padding polyester

Felt lovebird cats - a talisman for Valentine's Day

The lovebird cat talisman is sewn from felt very quickly. The manufacturing process is similar to the Christmas angel.

1. Print the pattern on a printer and cut it out along the contours of the part.

2. Using a sewing machine or using hand stitches, we stitch together sheets of felt of two colors (in my case, white and pink).

3. Apply the main pattern (the middle of the pattern should coincide with the seam connecting the two colors of fabric) to the felt parts, outline with chalk, and cut out.

Thencut out the second part of the lovebird cats in a mirror image.

4. We connect the two main parts of the cats along the contour using hand loop stitches, changing the color of the threads in accordance with the color of the fabric. As we work, we fill the toy with cotton wool or padding polyester.

5. Cut out the details of the tail from white and pink felt,

bend it in the middle and sew it with looped hand stitches. You can fill it with padding polyester to add volume.

6. Sew the tails according to the markings to the main part. We make fastenings.

7. From white and pink felt we cut out the details of the paws: two white, two pink,

bend it in the middle and sew it with looped hand stitches. You can fill it with padding polyester to add volume.

8. Sew the legs to the main part.

9. Embroider the nose and eyes.

10. Cut out heart details from red felt. We sew along the contour with hand loop stitches, sew on a bead and a ribbon for decoration.

11. We hand the heart over to the lovebird cats and carefully secure it on the reverse side with hidden stitches.

The Lovecats talisman made of felt is ready!

If you glue a piece of magnet on the reverse side with Moment glue, you will get a “Lovecats Fridge Magnet.”

In my master class I want to tell you how I sew lovebird cats. The pattern of the sitting cat Tilda is taken as a basis. Having tried to combine them once, I was pleased with the result. Together they look very harmonious. Such a pair can serve as a gift on many occasions: for a wedding, wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, or just a gift for a married or loving couple.

So we need:
Pattern (pattern taken from an open source on the Internet http://img1.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/c/10/111/423/111423445_large_4...
The size can be any according to your desire. Since we will have two cats, we need to make two patterns: one (larger) for the cat and the second (slightly smaller) for the cat. I left the pattern itself practically unchanged, supplemented it with a heart (we will need it to decorate the cat) and I simplified the paws - I don’t sew on the toes.

We need two types of fabric that can be combined with each other. Checks, polka dots, stripes, small flowers look good - but everything, of course, depends on individual preferences. I chose discreet coffee tones.
Also for work you will need:
Sewing machine
Scissors
Steamer
Threads to match the fabric
Four buttons in matching colors
Iris threads (for decorating faces)
Four black beads (for eyes)
Lace, decorative key for decoration elements
Stuffing material (I use holofiber)
We determine what fabric the cat will be made of. For the cat, I usually use fabric with flowers or the brighter one of the companions.

Let's get started: let's start with the cat. We fold the fabric in half with the right side, apply the pattern, do not forget that we need two legs, trace it.

Now we sew on the machine (stitch pitch 2 mm). Leave room for turning inside the legs and tail as shown in the pattern. I sew the carcass itself a little differently. I stitch it completely except for the bottom corners. I used red pins to show the unstitched area for turning.
Cut it out. It is imperative to make notches on all corners and curved places (at the ears, on the back, in the inside of the tail), otherwise the parts will bulge when we turn them inside out.

Now you need to form a beautiful bottom for the cat.

We cut out the corners with an indentation of 1 cm. Then we unfold the corner, combining points A and B. You should get a corner like this.

I marked with a red line the place where I should sew. We do the same with the second corner.

This is the bottom we should get.

We turn out all the details

Let's start stuffing. This process is probably the most uncreative, but very important, because the appearance of the finished product depends on how well and correctly we fill our blanks.
I use holofiber for stuffing, I’m quite happy with this stuffing material, it allows you to make the stuffing dense and uniform. I help myself with a wooden sushi stick - a very convenient device. We stuff the legs tightly, the tail tightly, but at the end just a little, the carcass itself tightly, evenly, we pay attention to the ears so that they do not remain empty.
When everything is ready, we sew up all the holes with a hidden seam.

Now let's take care of the legs. First of all, let's form the “toes” on the paws. Using strong threads, we tighten it over the edge; I used red pins to mark the places where the needle would be inserted.

Now we need to sew the legs together, this technique will allow us to sew them to the body more evenly, and they look more attractive this way. And now we can sew on our buttons; for us they serve as a decorative element, i.e. You can, of course, do without them, but with buttons it’s much more interesting.

We sew the tail in this way: first we sew it to the body in the place where we stuffed the carcass.

Then we turn it in the direction we need - the one where the muzzle is planned. Pin and sew.

It should look like this.

Now we sew on the paws, they will also serve as a support for the cat so that he can stand (or sit?) on his own. We place the cat evenly on the table, try on the paws, pin them with pins and sew them on.

This is what we got.

Let's start designing the face. I love the "face" expression suggested in the pattern. The cats turn out to be so decorous, important, full of significance and dignity. Let's start with the peepholes. Use pins to mark the place where the eyes will be and sew on black beads.

Using black iris thread (or floss in 3 folds) we embroider a cross-nose and mouth. I hide all the nodules under my eyes.

All that remains is to give our cat a mustache. You can embroider them with floss using one thread, it turns out very neatly. But I often make it from thick linen thread.
Our kitty is almost ready.

A cat is sewn in exactly the same way, only when we sew on the paws and tail, do not forget to “turn” it towards the cat.

Now “decorating” is the most interesting and enjoyable stage of our work, because, firstly, the entire “mandatory program” has already been completed and our cats are sitting and looking at us (and we are looking at them and we REALLY like them), and secondly Secondly, you can give full rein to your imagination.
I usually give the cat a heart to match the cat, and the cat a rose. There are a great many options, it can be bows, flowers, lace, etc.

We sew (or glue, or tie) decorative elements on the necks of the cats. I also add thin cord collars to them.
We plant them next to each other, and the lovebird cats are ready.

Handmade toys have always been in great demand, because such products differ from ordinary store-bought ones not only in originality and exclusivity, but also in the certain style of a particular master, his individuality and, of course, the warmth of the soul and love invested by the creator in his creation.

Among the many wonderful toys that you can sew with your own hands, I would like to mention the category of lovebird dolls. Such a product can be presented as a gift for any occasion, but lovebirds look especially cute and touching on Valentine’s Day, as well as on a wedding day or anniversary, both for a couple in love and for family people. A compliment toy in the form of lovebird cats will be an excellent gift that will certainly be remembered for many years - for your friends and loved ones.

Cats as a means of escape from a bad mood

There are many master classes that show in detail how you can sew a toy called lovebird cats - a symbol of fidelity, eternal love and family warmth.

First of all, you need to decide on the details: what size your cats will be, what color, whether they will have any additional elements in their paws or whether traditional “hugs” are planned, etc. In a word, imagine a full-fledged image of future cute cats.

Having decided all these points for yourself, you can choose fabric for the toy and prepare other materials and tools:

• when selecting fabrics, try to take ones that would be in harmony with each other in color, since it is better to make seals not in the same range and, of course, not in the same color (you can take a piece of plain fabric and several pieces with fragments of different colors, and then beautifully combine them);
• in order to sew lovebird cats you will also need a pattern (they are quite simple, you can use the pattern diagram for the tilde cat, because these toys are very similar);
• be sure to stock up on padding polyester for stuffing cats or a special filler for toys (you can take holofiber);
• do not forget about the usual tools - scissors, glue, threads, needles;
• additional accessories and decorations that you want to see on your lovebirds (ribbons, bows, pendants, flowers, etc.);
• You should also look for eyes on sale for toys or dolls (they have running pupils) to make the cats look even cuter. However, if you sew them like tilde toys, you can simply embroider the face, make it out of felt, or even paint it using acrylic paints (master classes on making tildes show these techniques in detail).

Having prepared everything you need, you can start working on a sweet couple of cats in love.

The main stages of a master class on making lovebirds

1. First, you will need to print out the pattern and cut out all its details (depending on the size of the pattern, your cats will turn out to be the same size; for example, from a pattern on A4 sheet size, toys with a height of about 15 cm will come out).
2. Then take the fabric and cut it according to the pattern (first fold the fabric with the right side inward). Secure the pattern with pins so that the fabric does not move, and carefully trace it with a pencil.
3. Do the same procedure with a different type of fabric (for the second cat).
4. Don't forget to leave a few centimeters for allowances.
5. If you just want to make cuddle toys, then you will need to draw a tail and paws on each future cat (just machine stitch over the applied drawing and then erase it).
6. To get regular cats, choose the appropriate patterns. For example, with the help of voluminous tails you can create a support and make lovebirds stand firmly. At the same time, details of tails are often sewn onto cats as appliqué.
7. Baste and sew the pieces together, making small, neat cuts at the ears and the edge of the head.
8. Turn the blanks inside out (you can use a tube or stick for this, as in the case with) and fill them with filler. Pay attention to all corners and ears. Stuffing must be done gradually, spreading the filler evenly throughout the toy and distributing it so that there are no “dips” even in hard-to-reach places.
9. When everything is ready, sew with a blind stitch the holes that you left for stuffing.
10. You can do the faces. If you have chosen plastic eyes and noses, then glue them on (it is very good to use Moment-Crystal glue for toys, as it will simply be absorbed into the fabric and will not leave any marks). If you don’t want to do any gluing, make embroidered faces or paint them with acrylic paints.
11. For two separate cats, you can choose the method of attaching them with a bow from a beautiful ribbon, and if you chose a one-piece pattern, you will need to separate the lovebirds using a stitched line (you can stitch it before stuffing or stitch it manually at this stage).

The ancient teachings of Feng Shui convince us that souvenirs in the form of a couple attract and retain love. Therefore, Valentine's Day is an excellent occasion to present such a talisman to your loved ones.

To sew lovebirds, prepare:
- cotton fabric with a small pattern and threads that harmonize in color;
- filler;
- black and white acrylic paint;
- sewing tools (needle, scissors, sewing machine, tailor's pins);
- a small piece of felt;
- satin ribbon and floss threads for decoration (optional).

So let's get started.
1. You can use a ready-made pattern, or you can draw it yourself (then your product will definitely be unique). Let's place it on the material, folded in half, facing inward. Let's circle it.

2. Sew along the contour using a machine and cut out with allowances. We cut it with scissors for ease of turning.

3. Turn it inside out, straightening the seam. On the front side, draw a line with a pencil that will separate the animals. Let's machine stitch it.

4. Fill tightly with filler.

5. Sew up the bottom edge (use a blind stitch). Fold the edges of the cut corner inward and also sew it with invisible stitches. Let's repeat with the second corner.

6. Let's draw a face with acrylic. We decorate the figures at our discretion. For example, let's sew on a felt heart with embroidery, which will be very popular on Valentine's Day.

To make the souvenir brighter and more interesting, you can combine fabric of different colors. To do this, we will cut out the animals separately and change the pattern.

1. Let's transfer the silhouettes to pieces of fabric that are harmonious in color.

2. Sew and cut as described above.

3. Turn it inside out and fill it tightly. Let's sew up the bottom.
