A handmade pillow can be a wonderful gift. Armed with imagination and a thread and a needle, you can even turn it into a unique Valentine’s card. We offer you a step-by-step master class on making an unusual pillow with a voluminous heart.

To work you will need:

ready-made pillow of the desired size;

Cut circles with a diameter of approximately 8 cm from the fabric; they may be slightly crooked and slightly different in size. This will only add volume and realism to the flowers.

Take the circle of fabric by the middle, gather it, forming folds as in the photo. Secure the workpiece in the desired position with a couple of stitches.

Sew another circle of fabric from the bottom, forming a voluminous bud.

Continue sewing circles onto the rose until you get the desired size flower.

Prepare the remaining roses using the same scheme. Their number depends on the size of the flower heart.

Sew the flowers to the pillow starting with the outline of the heart.

Place the pieces tightly together so that there are no gaps between them. A magnificent heart is ready to conquer and conquer hearts.

This designer pillow will decorate the room of a capricious fashionista or become the highlight of your living room. And she will lift your spirits just by looking at her.

Decor features

When making a toy pillow, it is not necessary to strive for anatomical accuracy. It is better to use dense fabrics - they hold their shape well. Owl decorations:

fringe imitating feathers;
embroidery on shell material;
buttons, beads for the image of eyes;
lace, bows, tassels on the ears.

This way we will have a wonderful and useful decorative element for the room.
Felt owl pillows will look good in the interior of a children's room.

An original pillow that evokes positive emotions is a stylish detail designed to decorate the interior.

An interesting solution for the living room: a pocket for the TV remote control under the owl’s wing.

The size of the product and its appearance depend on the type of pattern and material used.

Fluffy pillow

An original pillow with fringe will fit well into any interior. Pleasant to the touch fleece will make it a favorite thing not only in the children's room.

To work you will need:

fleece for the base of the pillow and fringe;
filler;
scissors;
threads;
pins;
sewing machine.

Cut two 40 x 40 cm squares from fleece.

For fringe, it is better to choose fabric of several colors of the same range

- you will get a stylish transition between them. In our case, we use 10 strips of 37*10 cm in three shades of brown.

Fold each strip in half and cut the fringe.

Sew the first strip to the base of the pillow, 1 cm from the edges. This is the result you should get.

Next, bend the fringe to one side.

Sew a second strip next to it at a distance of approximately 1.5 cm from the first.

Continue sewing the fringe in the same way. Alternate dark stripes with light ones through several rows, achieving a beautiful and smooth transition of colors.

Place a second square on top of the fringed piece and pin along the edges. Sew the pillow around the perimeter, leaving a small hole for stuffing.

Turn the pillow inside out and stuff it with filling. It is better to use padding polyester or holofiber. Natural materials, such as cotton wool and fluff, can clump over time and the product will lose its neat appearance.

Sew the opening with a blind stitch.

It turns out to be a very beautiful sofa cushion that will create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in your home.

Materials:

black fleece
yellow fleece
white calico
adhesive interlining
yellow and black threads

Filling: synthetic winterizer

So let's get started! ))

1. Redraw the pattern onto the fabric: beak and paws onto yellow fleece; body, arms, wings and tail on black.

2. Cut out all the pieces with seam allowance.

3. We sew the parts together using a typewriter. First, we sew the beak to the “carcass” (one half of the beak to the corresponding half of the body; we do the same with the remaining two parts), and then we sew two solid parts of the body.

4. Turn it inside out. It is more convenient to turn inside out using a wooden stick because... the wood clings to the fabric and prevents it from slipping.

5. Stuff the body with padding polyester. It is advisable to make it tighter, so that when you put the pillow on your neck, your head won’t fall in or fall back. We lightly fill the paws and arms with padding polyester - only the “palms”.

6. Sew up the “hole” on the body.

7. Sew the tail, paws and arms and wings to the body.

8. Using an iron and non-woven fabric, glue the calico. Redraw the eye pattern onto the glued fabric and cut it out.

9. Attach the eyes to the head using needles and begin sewing and trimming with black threads.

10. Apply the pattern to the eyes again - outline the pupils and embroider with satin stitch.

11. We embroider the smile and nose with black threads, and the beak and paws with yellow threads. If desired, we can make a forelock from the remaining claps.

12. Hurray! The duck is ready!

I apparently fell ill with Tildomania for a long time, maybe forever. If before this it was difficult to tear me away only from books or the Internet, now - from rags, threads, patterns, etc. Unfortunately, there is one “but” - my neck started to hurt. Apparently, out of habit... I searched the Internet for something that would help in this case, and came across a pattern for a pillow... for the neck. Actually, it's on the road. But it helped me. I sit down on the sofa, a pillow under my neck, and - wonderful! My neck practically doesn't hurt anymore. If you're interested, here's some information about these pillows and below are the patterns. Travel pillows Traveling for a long time in a car can cause a lot of inconvenience. To make sleeping on the road more comfortable, and to prevent your back from hurting from a long immobile position, special travel pillows have been developed. The most common type of travel pillow is the classic cervical pillow. This pillow has an anatomical shape in the form of an almost closed ring or half ring. It provides maximum relief of tension from the cervical spine and fixes the head well. When choosing a pillow for a car, you need to pay attention to the material and filling of the pillow. The material from which the pillow is made should not only be soft and pleasant to the touch, but also be easy to clean. It is better to choose pillows made of stain-resistant material. If you want to feel extra comfortable on the road, then choose a pillow made from the most delicate materials, such as a sheep wool pillow. The disadvantage of such a pillow is that it is much more difficult to care for. Travel pillows can be used in any type of transport.

What is a toy pillow? Choosing an idea for a pillow

Pillow filling It is difficult to imagine modern life without such a wonderful thing as a pillow. It's no secret that a properly selected pillow will give you good and bright dreams. In stores you can find a huge number of different pillows, including toy pillows. Let's figure out together what they are and how you can make them yourself.

As the name suggests, a toy pillow is a pillow made in the shape of a soft toy (most often some kind of animal). You can play with such a pillow, take it with you to bed, sit on it or lie on the floor. Such a pillow can be an excellent decoration for an interior made in a certain style.

Tutorial for Making an Owl Pillow

To sew a soft sofa item in the shape of a bird, you need to stock up on tools and supplies for the job. Creativity begins with a pattern - you can make it yourself from an old newspaper, a sheet of Whatman paper, or use ready-made forms. The material for the pillow shell will be any fabric found in the house, and to design the outline of the owl, felt, leather, etc. are used. Tools - needle, pins, scissors, sewing machine. Other items: buttons, beads, colored threads, pencil, glue, padding polyester as a filler.

Original and cheerful pillows are a fashionable and stylish interior detail.

Fabric base

Before sewing owl pillows with your own hands, patterns are made for each part of the body and bird's head. The base for the body is chosen from dense, preferably denim, fabric. The muzzle, beak, and eyes are made from felt of different colors. Work order:

They designate one of the halves of the body with the front, drawing the head and stomach on it.
The bird's beak and eyes are glued or sewn on. If adhesive is used, the operation can be performed after the shell has been filled.
Connect the front and back parts of the pillow with a seam.

Print out the pillow pattern in full size.
Having sewn the parts together, turn the shell inside out through the hole left so that the eyes and beak are on the outside.

Important! Cutting fabric involves leaving an allowance for the width of the seam. The details of the head are cut out without reserve - exactly along the contour.

Felt shell

Felt is a dense woolen material for making hats and toys. The colors are bright and different. To sew felt blanks, use a “forward needle” stitch: skips, stitches alternate at an equal distance. Manufacturing techniques:

colored details on felt sheets are fixed with pins;
a knot of thread is hidden between the patch and the base;
An alternative option for attaching the eyes and beak to the shell is gluing.

The owl toy pillow will perfectly highlight your design with its modern style.
Tip: maintain a distance of 5 mm between the eye circles.

A tail is sewn onto the back of the body. The felt body is sewn together, stuffed with filler through the opening left, after which the hole is sewn up.

Sewing a cushion for the head

The owl pillow can be of any size and perform various functions. It all depends on the imagination of the craftsmen and the materials at hand. The prepared parts are sewn together with a machine using a zigzag seam (for appliqués).

You can experiment with the color palette, volume, texture.

The standard pillow size is 50x70 cm, but the dimensions of the decorative headboards can be any size. Owls are small - up to 200 mm in height, large - 0.7-0.8 m.

In any case, the natural size of the bird will be respected.

Hint: a pillow in the shape of a couple of owls will be within the recommended standard of 5x70.

pillow toy

The toy owl pillow is made for a child - you can play with it and take it to bed before bed. Patterns are taken from the Internet, the designs are transferred to the fabric, and the details are cut out.

A bright, soft and functional owl pillow will surely please your child.

Sew on the beak, wings, eyes. Buttons are used to imitate pupils. Sew the halves together with the right side inward, leaving an opening in the upper part for inserting the filler. The last step is to sew up the hole.

Side for a baby crib

An owl-shaped pillow can serve as a kind of fence inside a crib: its cylindrical shape contributes to this. To make the side, cotton fabric is used as the base. The material should be selected in bright colors.

Don't stick to anatomical accuracy. A DIY owl pillow will look better if it is made in a playful manner.

The manufacturing process is no different from sewing owl pillows for other purposes. You can fill the shell with pieces of foam rubber or down.

It is better to use dense fabrics; they hold their shape and create a realistic image of the animal.

Developmental headrest for children

A pillow made in the shape of an owl can be improved by adding a pillowcase with developmental elements sewn on top. Their forms depend on the age of the children: the interests of a 2-3 month old baby differ from the desires of a three year old child.

The work process will take very little time, but the result will be an excellent product that will decorate the interior of the children's room.

The pillowcase is made using the same patterns as the owl's body. Developmental objects are chosen in different shapes: circle, square, flower, apple. Material – wood, plastic, foil.

Important! All elements must be attached to the pillowcase firmly and securely, so that the child cannot tear off, bite off, or chew off the item of interest to him.

Sewing a bunny pillow

Step-by-step instructions will help you make a soft toy in the shape of a hare yourself. For work you will need the materials that were used to sew the owl. The fabric can be used orange, white, black. Performing operations:

Cut out a pattern of a head with long ears from paper - the basis of a bunny pillow.
Transfer the contours of the template onto the fabric using pins, and make 2 blanks.
Sew both halves, leaving an unstitched area.
Fill the shell with synthetic padding and sew up the hole.

Kids will really love the bunny toy pillow you sewed.
The paws are sewn to the finished pillow - the head of the hare, and appliqués are glued on, depicting the elements of the face: eyes, mouth, nose.

Attention! Before stuffing with filler, the shell is turned inside out to hide the seams.

In conclusion, ready-made patterns for sewing animal pillows and birds speed up the process of making a useful toy, but making your own blanks makes the decor original. Especially if a child is involved in the creativity.
