For children fun games, and also for home decoration, do-it-yourself pillow toy patterns will be useful. Such pillows will delight both children and adults, and in addition they can become a good gift, for example, for a housewarming party.

Most often, such pillows are sewn in the shape of cats. Cats are warm pets that bring comfort and peace to the home. They know how to curl up and take a sweet nap on sofas or armchairs, and perhaps that is why soft pillows are associated with these pets.

Pillows in the form of owls and turtles are also popular, but there are also other animals - dogs, hippos, whales, sheep, elephants, ladybugs and even frogs. You can figure out for yourself how to “adapt” your favorite animal under the pillow and make a pattern yourself.

Sewing such pillows with your own hands is not difficult even for a beginner, but skilled and knowledgeable craftswomen only need to “spot” the idea from a photo of finished pillows.

Let's get started

The master class on creating a pillow toy is basically the same for any model. The most important thing is to choose the pattern you like and purchase everything necessary materials. Usually the pillow is stuffed with padding polyester or holofiber.

Tools and materials you may need:

• textile;
• pattern;
• pencil or piece of soap;
• pins;
• threads to match the fabric;
• needle;
• scissors;
• sewing machine;
• additional elements (inserts, patches, stripes, beads).

The fabric can be of any color and texture, the main thing is that it matches the interior and the general mood. It is worth paying attention to its durability: satin and silk pillows are beautiful, but short-lived, especially when playing. Pillows made of cotton and fleece fabric are more durable and comfortable.

You also need to consider how much the fabric collects lint and dust. This may be important for those who have a beloved pet in the house.

You can make a pattern yourself or use an existing one. Usually a figure is drawn the desired shape(the main part of the pillow) and add individual details (paws, tail, ears) if desired.

A pattern can be made without additional details, the main thing is that the shape resembles the body of an animal. Here, for example, is a slightly modified square pillow, decorated to look like a fox:

Or a pattern in the shape of a bird:

A toy pillow can also be made using simple patterns: a square pillow, decorated to look like some kind of animal. You can “update” an existing pillow with fabric appliqués (muzzle, eyes, antennae) and additional elements(paws, tail), making it a toy.

These pillows have their own standard square shape, but they look like dogs:

To these square pillows The faces of the animals are simply sewn on, and now they can turn into toys (using buttons or Velcro):

Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to just animals. To really turn a pillow into an entertaining toy, just make it in the form of a puzzle. If you fold several well suitable friend to a friend of pillows, you will get a cozy and original mattress on which you can happily lie or sit on the floor.

The pattern and sewing are quite simple.

It should be taken into account that if you are using a voluminous, high pillow, then you need to sew all the sides (strip) with a separate fabric. But you can also sew a simple double-sided pillow.

When creating any pattern, of course, you should take into account seam allowances to ensure the pillow is the desired size.

How to sew:

1. We make a pattern, taking into account all the details, and cut it out;

1. We transfer the pattern to the fabric: pin the parts to the wrong side of the fabric and trace with a pencil or a piece of soap (depending on the color and texture of the fabric);

1. We cut out the parts from the fabric, taking into account allowances (1-1.5 cm);

1. We sweep the parts along the edge and sew them on a machine (you can do it by hand), leaving a small unsewn space (usually at the bottom);

1. Turn the parts inside out front side through the unstitched area and fill it evenly with filler (usually padding polyester) to the required volume;

1. We sew up the hole with a hidden seam;

1. We sew the necessary elements on top or embroider them (nose, eyes, mouth).

The toy pillow is ready!

It is worth paying attention to how to sew additional parts to the pillow. There are two ways:

• on top of the finished pillow with a hidden or regular seam;
• sweep along with the main seam from the wrong side.

Here, for example, are the owl’s paws sewn on top:

And here are the pillows with muzzles sewn into the outer seam:

Additional details do not need to be stuffed like a pillow. You can leave them without padding at all or add some volume with a small amount of padding polyester.

To make it more convenient to sew parts on top (appliqués), you can do this in advance - after cutting. It is better to sew buttons, beads and sequins last on the finished pillow.

A selection of videos on how to make pillow toys.

Many needlewomen, when decorating their interiors, think about how to sew original pillows. Today, not only utilitarian things, but also toys are used as decor. Cookie pillows in the shape of letters or animal figures have gained popularity. Today we’ll talk about how to make the last of these options, namely a dog pillow.

Pillow with dog face appliqué

The easiest way to add a touch of originality to the interior is to make something with your own hands. What could be easier than sewing a pillow? Even those girls who are far from needlework can do this. To make a pillow with a dog applique you will need a sewing machine, scraps of fabric and an hour of free time.

Let's get started. The dog pillow will be quite utilitarian, so first you need to sew the pillowcase. To do this, you need to cut out two square blanks. We sew them together on three sides, facing inward. So that you can wash the pillowcase later, we sew a lock into the unstitched side. Now let's get to the most interesting part of the work. We need to make the dog's face. To do this, you can buy felt or use scraps of fabric available on the farm. From white material cut out the eyes, black pupils, nose and ears. By the way, they can be made different. All that remains is to cut out a beige oval and a red semicircle. Now we sew all the details to the pillowcase with a hidden seam. We embroider the muzzle with thick black threads. AND finishing touch- sew on the ears.

Knitted dog pillow

If a girl doesn’t like to sew, but knows how to use knitting needles well, then she can easily make a dog pillow with her own hands from yarn. To do this you will need to knit a pillowcase. There is nothing complicated here. We knit two circles with a regular elastic band. This is the base of our dog pillow. Two teardrop-shaped parts of a different color will be the ears. We knit a small circle from dark brown color - this will be the nose. We make a pug from white threads. We knit two large circles, and at the same time you can make two more small circles of the same color. These will be the eyes. The mouth and pupils can be cut out of felt, or can also be made on knitting needles. All that remains is to put our pillow together. We sew the base together, turn it inside out and stuff it with padding polyester. Using a “forward needle” stitch, we assemble two circles of the muzzle and one circle of the nose. You should get balls. We stuff them with padding polyester, not too tightly, so that the pillow can be used not only as decoration, but also for its intended purpose. Sew the stuffed balls to the base and add ears, eyes and a mouth.

Pillow with dog silhouette appliqué

A needlewoman who wants to decorate her interior can act not only standard scheme, but also to show imagination. For example, sew a whole set of sofa cushions. Dogs will combine them all into a single composition. Such pillows are sewn by analogy with the first paragraph of our article. First you need to make pillowcases. Now we take felt or scraps of printed fabric and cut out the outlines of the dogs using the pattern.

We have attached one drawing as an example, but you can draw your favorite breed. It is not necessary to use colored fabric, but the dogs will look more interesting if they are not realistic, but with a hint of cartoonishness. We sew the applique to the pillow with a hidden seam. Dogs can decorate not only your sofa, but also your windowsill. IN Lately It has become fashionable to spread a blanket on it and use it instead of a sofa.

Pillow in the shape of a dog

If there are children in your house, they will be happy with the new soft toys. And you will be glad that even when your child grows up and moves out, his memory will live on your sofa. Making a dog pillow pattern is easy. You can print our example or draw your own. We cut out the body and head of the dog from white or any other fabric. These parts need to be cut out in 2 pieces. We sew the cut parts together one by one. Don't forget to leave a gap to turn out and stuff our parts. We sew up the hole and move on to making the ears and nose.

In our version, we cut out these details from black fabric, and you can choose something more interesting, for example, a floral material. We sew the ear parts together and turn them inside out. There is no need to stuff them. Sew to the head. Now let's make the nose. Using a “forward needle” stitch, we assemble the part into a ball, stuff it and attach it in place. Wool threads We embroider the dog's mouth and sew on the tongue. A handmade dog pillow will delight you and your household.

To sew a pillow, especially if it will serve not only for interior decoration, but also for sleeping, it is better to use natural fabrics.

Patterns for this pillow:







First we sew the scraps together, and then the parts cut out from the patterns. We stuff the pillow with filler and sew it up. Instead of eyes, it’s better to sew not large buttons (so that they don’t interfere if you sleep on a pillow), but rather circles of black fabric.

And I also found a description, how to sew a dog pillow step by step. I just don’t know, this dog reminds me more of a hare. Although if the ears are sewn not on the top of the head, but on the sides of the head, then it will look quite like a dog. Of course, you can use the idea of ​​sewing such a pillow.

But right now you can start sewing this dog pillow:



*You can sew a dog pillow either from felt (natural or artificial) or from any other dense fabric (you can take fabric from an old coat or jacket).

*The pattern diagram is shown below.

You just need to print it and enlarge it to the size you need.

*Parts for the muzzle can be simply glued on special glue for fabric. It's best to do this before you decide to start stitching the pieces of the dog's head together.

If you don't have glue on hand, you can sew a zig-zag stitch along the edges.

*Two ears are sewn together in two parts.

Then they are turned inside out and loosely stuffed with padding polyester.

It is better to baste the parts well so that there are no shifts during sewing.
