Lamb do-it-yourself: patterns

For a start, you can learn sewing lamb, a template which you can draw yourself.

You will need:

1. Thick cotton
2. Paper
3. Filler for toys
4. Scissors, pencil, thread and needle

Manufacturing instruction:

• Take a piece of paper and a pencil. Draw a torso pattern. It looks like a little cloud with wavy curves around the edges. At the bottom of the body goes into a regular oval. From below in this place you need to mark the legs. They look like elongated ovals. The torso is one.
• We also outline the lines of the muzzle. It looks like an oval, on top of which we draw several wavy curls. A separate item - ears. For them we draw an oval that tapers towards the bottom - it looks like a flower petal. When all the parts of the sheep are ready, cut them out.
• Then take the pattern of parts and impose on cotton fabric. For simplicity, the material can be folded in half with its face inward. Circle all parts of the lamb along the contours, adding 5 mm to allowances from all sides. Next, we cut out the torso, head and ears along the second lines. We should have 2 parts in total of the parts of a sheep, but 4 ears.
• On the sewing machine we sew the torso along the contour, leaving a non-sewn area between the legs of the lamb. Do the same with the head and ears. The body is turned out on the front side in any convenient way. Previously, in order to nothing bristled, you can iron the seams. For this, the fabric is pushed to the sides. After turning the part, it is filled with filler. As it can be used sintepon, polystyrene balls, unnecessary rags. Then it is necessary to sew the area at the bottom of the body with a secret seam.
• By the same principle we carry the head of a lamb. We also sew the ears with the seam on the outer side, but after turning them out, we do not fill them with filler.
• It remains only to sew all the details. We start with the head. We have it about a little above the center of the body. Then we attach our ears to the head. The last thing you need to work out the face of a lamb. To do this, we mark with a seam forward the needle of the eye, the nose and the mouth. Cheeks can be made pink with the help of pastel crayons or blush.

• Then shape the head with brown felt ears. The item must be integral. You can draw a small circle on the seamy side with a pencil. Then on both sides of the upper part, draw the ovals intersecting it at an angle. It will be ears. From the points of intersection with the circle draw a wavy convex line. This will be our sheep curls. Cut the resulting part.

• Let's start with the manufacture of patterns. To do this, rethink a small cloud. At the same time on the bottom edge it should be absolutely flat - a straight line. We also draw a head in the form of a circle, the ears are elongated ovals with a sharp top. For the top of the head - a small cloud.
• Cutting templates. Take the felt and fold it in half. To the place of the fold we apply the body with the even side. We outline the part, taking into account seam allowances. The remaining items will be single. Also apply them to the felt. In this case, the head of a sheep should be beige. Cut out all the details.
• Take cotton and carve out two rectangles from it. In length, they are equal to the body plus 5 mm on the sides for allowances, and in height slightly lower. Fold them face down and sew on the sides and bottom.
• Take the torso and straighten the part. On the central fold will need to sew a zipper. To do this, carefully make an incision. We put a zipper under the felt. The length of the incision varies from its size. We take lightning by hand. We take a pad of cotton. Also impose it under the felt. The upper edges are located along the cut under the zipper.
• We begin to sweep the part on the machine. To start, flash the zipper, grabbing the lining. Do not forget to position the slider over the cutout. We cut off the extra parts of the zipper.
• We take the head of a sheep and form on it the eyes, mouth and nose of a sheep. The easiest way to do this is with black stitches. We place the head at an angle on the right side and sew with threads to match. Stitches are better for large ones. Also we sew and other details - ears and curls
