Clothes for fabric toys

Clothing for fabric toys can be very simple, one-piece, just symbolic. Or rather complicated, detachable, like on people, so that it would be interesting to change it. Clothes can be sewn or knitted.

Clothes for the toy can be put on while sewing the toy itself, then it will not be removable. For example, if we sewed a hare, then before sewing its arms and legs, we can make a blouse, put sleeves on the arms and then sew it on. So with pants, you can cut and sew jeans, for example, put them on the legs on top and then sew on the legs.

The simplest type of clothing will be a fluffy tulle skirt. To do this, collect a strip of tulle and sew it on the animal's waist or put it on an elastic band, then the skirt will be removable.

Knitted sweaters or dresses look very good on sewn toys.

To do this, you can knit or crochet a full-fledged sweater, with a fastener, which will be removed, or also, with details, the body and sleeves separately, put the handles into the sleeves, and the body into the body and then sew it.

Furniture fittings

Latches, hooks, keys with locks and threaded screws can be used, for example, when "building" a house.

Rustling elements

The rustling of this or that element is achieved due to the crumpled cellophane wrapper from tea or a box of chocolates nested inside.

Thundering elements

The thundering elements represent a huge scope for imagination. Place inside a plastic container for shoe covers or a plastic egg from Kinder Surprise, into which some cereals (rice, peas, buckwheat, small pasta), salt, dried cherry pits or acorns are poured.

Ringing elements

Most often they represent a small bell, bought for little money in a souvenir shop or a fishing shop.

Shiny and transparent elements

Interesting versions of books "about the baby" - they not only develop motor skills, but also help the child to better know the world around him.

Or maybe it will be just a cube, with some elements? It's up to you to choose.

All toys can be divided into 2 large groups: those with whom the child can play independently and those for which need help or the presence of an adult... Usually, the first include entertaining toys for children in the first months of life, as well as toys that develop fine motor skills. After several shows, the child will be able to unbutton a zipper or a button, unscrew the cap, etc.

The presence of an adult requires toys that develop the ability to count; find more-less, right-left, top-bottom; name colors and geometries, body parts or animals, explain rules of behavior or traffic, etc.

Toy variations and the skills they develop

Such a bracelet is useful for a very small baby (from 2 to 4 months). It will contribute to the development of the baby's hearing and vision, as well as the coordination of movements.

Here are some original toys you can create with your own hands. Choose the ones you like and get down to needlework. And to simplify the process of creating new things, get ideas for inspiration, watch selected videos.

Toys are what attracts both adults and children, they are completely different and for different purposes.
DIY fabric or textile toys are some of the safest and most attractive types of toys for children. They can be played by children from early childhood, but in adulthood, soft toys do not lose their relevance. For example, now it has become fashionable to give and decorate home comfort with handmade interior toys. As a rule, such toys are not cheap, so many consider them a sign of luxury and prosperity.
Even the simplest toy, made with high quality and with love, can become very valuable and necessary in someone's family!

For example, my daughter has become a favorite toy - the owl Angela, which I made for her a couple of years ago, she now does not part with her and takes her to sleep with her for a walk, and to the store, to the dacha, (it's good at least they bathe separately)) in in general she fell in love with her. I think most children either have a favorite toy, or really want to have it.

Therefore, today I propose to make a beautiful toy for a gift, and for whom it will be up to you to decide!

Below I have collected templates with a pattern of toys, as well as a step-by-step master class on making.

How easy it is to sew a stuffed animal. DIY soft toys for beginners with templates

For beginner craftswomen, the easiest way to sew will be from a simple pattern.

For example, take a bear template and print it on a printer, increasing it to the desired size, but you can also redraw it on paper, for this, increase the template you like to a suitable size on a computer monitor, attach a white sheet of paper to the screen and carefully trace all the contours of the pattern with a pencil.

Then cut the paper template along the contours.
Choose a pretty fabric for your toy.

If this is not a complicated toy, for example, like a bear in the photo, then here you need to fold the fabric in two with the front side inward, you can fix it with pins for convenience so that it does not slip, then attach a paper template to the fabric and trace the contours of the fabric with soap or chalk.

Cut out fabric blanks, leaving seam allowances.
We sew on a typewriter with the usual straight stitch, leaving a small hole in order to then turn the toy onto the front side.
Notches should be made in the places of the folds so that the fabric does not pull in these places.

Now everything is turned inside out on the front side and stuffed with padding polyester, padding polyester or other similar fillers.
It should not be stuffed too tightly, but so that there are no empty areas, the filler must be distributed evenly.

The hole through which they were stuffed at the end is sewn with a blind stitch.
We glue or embroider the toy's eyes and mouth, nose.
We add beautiful details, for example: a bow, a flower, a scarf, buttons, or in general, you can sew clothes. There is a huge field for creative experiments.

Implement the idea!

Simple fabric cat pattern.

Another easy-to-sew model is a kitty.
It is sewn and cut according to the same principle as the bear, only here two parts are cut out.
This is the cat itself in two parts and the tail, also in two parts.
They are sewn separately, small holes are also left for turning inside out and for stuffing with filler, then the tail is sewn to the base of the cat.
You can decorate as you like to your liking.

I got such a kitty.

Gave it to my sister for home comfort)

How to sew a complex toy? DIY fabric ball, an interesting idea

A toy that is more difficult to manufacture is one that contains many parts and which is assembled in a certain order.
One night I got an idea, why not sew a ball out of fabric, it seemed so simple in my head, but when the idea got down to business, without an example it was difficult to understand what to cut, how much to cut and how then all this is correct sew.
Therefore, I share an example by which I did.

You will need two templates, a hexagon and a pentagon. We transfer them to paper, or even better to cardboard.

We need to cut 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons from the fabric. I used the fabric in two colors, but this is not necessary, you can make it completely monochromatic or, on the contrary, colored, this is at your discretion.

As you cut the required number of polyhedra, it is better to expand them so that you can visually understand how you will sew.
This is what the ball layout looks like.

Another layout option

This version of the ball is made of felt, it is easier to sew.
I chose to sew from coarse calico and on a sewing machine, so you still need to leave allowances for the seams on the fabric. And iron the seams. You don't need to do this on felt.
All parts are simply sewn into two halves, and then these two halves are joined together. You need to connect from the seamy side, and then leave a small hole not sewn up and turn it out through it.
Fill tightly with padding polyester, and sew up the hole with a blind stitch.

Such is the ball - I turned out handsome!
