DIY felt toys: 6 ideas with master classes

Step 1

Transfer parts to a sheet in a cage. Here a sheet of A4 size is laid out on 1x1 cm cells.

Step 2

Cut parts from felt:

1 - head and torso: 2 mirror parts from white felt;

2 - ear: 2 mirror parts from white felt, 2 mirror parts from pink;

3 - tail: 2 mirror details from white felt;

4 - abdomen: 1 piece of pink felt;

5 - nose: 1 piece of pink felt, cut out without allowances;

6 - lower foot: 2 mirror parts from white felt, 2 mirror parts from pink;

7 - upper foot, outer part: 2 mirror parts from white felt;

8 - upper foot, inner part: 2 mirror parts from white felt;

9 - a palm: 2 mirror details from pink felt.

Allowances are 1 cm everywhere, except for the nose part, which is cut out without allowances.

Step 3

Fold the body parts with the sides inward and make the front and back seams.

Cut allowances to 0.4 cm.

Where the part has a concave shape, notch allowances, not reaching the line of 1-2 mm. Twist the body.

Step 4

Select the longest stitch length and sew a stitch around the circumference of the nose part, backing away from the edge of 0.5 cm. Leave the long ends of the threads.

Assemble a circle by pulling the ends of one of the stitches. Put a little filler in the spout.

The allowances for the details of the torso-head in the nose are tucked inward. Insert the nose part into this hole so that the collected allowances are inside and sew manually by a blind seam.

Step 5

Fold in pairs the details of the ears with their sides inward. Each ear will consist of white and pink details. Fill the seams, leaving straight sections below unstitched. Cut the allowances as in step 3.

Turn out the ears and fill in the free allowances inward, as shown in the photo.

Step 6

Connect the parts of the inner parts of the upper legs. Stitch them as shown in the photo, cut allowances and straighten them. Then fold the outer and inner parts of the upper legs with the sides facing inward and sew, leaving the straight edges of the parts un sewn.

Cut allowances and turn out paws.

Sew the details of the lower legs and tail in the same way.

Step 7

Fill the body and head with the filler rather tightly.

Align the needle along the edge of the abdominal part with small stitches, backing away from the edge of 0.5 cm.

Pull the thread slightly. Turn the seam allowances and seize them.

Step 8

Fill lower legs with filler not too tight.

With pink thread, embroider your toes.

From below, embroider the heel with a seam back needle.

Sew the lower legs to the body, as shown in the photo.

Step 9

Fill the tail with filler not too tightly.

Sew the tail to the torso around the back seam.

Step 10

Attach the detail of the abdomen to the part of the body with the legs and tail sewn in so that all allowances are covered by the detail of the abdomen. Sew manually with a blind stitch.Remove the basting that held the stock.
