I always want to be with my beloved childbuy the best things. However, an expensive toy is not a guarantee of high quality. A young mother may have a little time to learn the basics of cutting and sewing, and then create an amazing soft horse for her child. It will not be large in size, but made with love! What materials will be needed to create a horse?

Matter. Suitable fleece of different colors, but you can use velveteen as a base. Blue horse fleece created a horse mane.

Scissors, thread under the color of the canvas.

Paper for creating a pattern.

You will get a pattern like the one shown in the picture. When you save the picture on your personal computer, it will be larger than the one shown here.The first thing you need to do is cut out the pattern.If you want to sew a small horse, then the length should be approx. 24 centimeters, and the height approx. - 18 centimeters. After the dimensions have been correctly selected, print the pattern on a regular A4 sheet. From the main fabric you will need the following parts:

2 details of the trunk of the horse with the head. One of them is required in the mirror image;
Two pieces of each horse's hoof;
Two pieces of each horse's hoof in mirror image;
Two ears are triangular in shape. Create them from the scraps. The sides of triangles should be 2.5; 2.5 and 2 centimeters.

The following parts were created from blue fleece:

Two mane patterns, the length of which is approx. 11 centimeters, and the width is approx. – 3 centimeters.

The tail is one piece. The length is approx. 10 centimeters, and the width is approx. – 8 centimeters.

Moreover, the main parts can be sewn with fleece on noses (2 pieces) and hooves (8 pieces). How to sew fleece on the nose and hooves of the future horse? This can be done as follows:

Take a piece of fleece. Use the pattern, cut out the curved edge. For example, at the hoof, which "looks" up, towards the horse's leg, and not towards the ground.

The received piece of fleece must be placed on top of the main pattern of the horse's leg. Align the cut off place along all the matches on the foot. For simplicity, use a pattern.

The details should be put together, and only then you can trim the excess, so that the allowances for the hoof detail coincide with the allowance on the fleece itself.

Lay a line to the edge that was cut first, in a pattern.

In the photo you can see how and where the stitching is done. One of the horse's legs is shown, but after stitching.The mane and tail details can be cut into fringe.Their width is approximately half a centimeter. For sewing in, it is necessary to leave uncut parts about one and a half centimeters wide. A little advice. It is better to cut out all the details of the mane and tail using zigzag scissors from the side that remains visible later. You will get a complex fringed edge. Let's move on to sewing the horse's ears. They can be created from the remaining scraps. The triangular piece should be folded in half and one line should be laid. Turn the ear through the unsewn side of the triangle. You will get double ears. However, if you prefer such ears as in the original model, then you should process the circle along the edge with a zigzag, overlock or buttonhole stitch manually from the fabric before folding and sewing in. This method is applicable only to non-fraying fabric.Let's move on to sewing the horse's body.First, take one of the horse's body parts and place it on the table in front of you with the right side up. Pin or sew the turned-out ear to this part with the raw open cut facing up, and align the seam line. The ear should be folded approximately between the two triangular marks on the horse's den. See the pattern for a better understanding. Sew or pin all the mane parts in the same way. The patterns must be connected one on top of the other so that the mane turns out thick and bright. Pin them between the marks on the horse's head and back. The uncut part left for sewing should go on top, because everything that goes into the seam will be hidden there. Before sewing, the tail must be twisted into a "snail" and similarly basted or pinned to the back of the horse. On top of the resulting part, we apply the second ear of the horse, correctly aligning it with the first. At this stage, the horse is represented by one piece, in which the tips of the ears, as well as the fringe of the mane and tail section, are directed towards the center. Nothing protrudes beyond the outer edges of the piece, except for the seam allowances of the mane, tail and ears.We put the second part of the body onsemi-finished horse, face down. Match the seams. Sew the resulting halves, leaving a small opening in the lower area for turning the product inside out and stuffing it. Before turning the product inside out, you should cut the seam allowances on the pattern where there are bends. The main thing is not to touch the laid seams in any way. Turn the product inside out. The ears together with the mane look great on the horse. Now you need to stuff the horse with filler. You can embroider nostrils on both sides of the nose. Use French knots for this. To create the eyes, use black beads. Use a blind stitch to sew up the holes on the belly, which were left in order to stuff the horse with filler. The horse's body is completely ready! Let's start creating the animal's legs. Fold the parts of the future hooves in pairs and sew them together, leaving small openings for stuffing and turning. We cut the allowances, turn the hooves inside out and stuff them with filler. Then, we sew up the holes with a blind stitch. Try the resulting hooves on the horse's body. Now you can use buttons for sewing. They should match the body material. Using a special button fastening pattern, you can sew the hooves to the horse's body. In this way, you can sew the legs to the horse's body. It is better to use threads that match the material perfectly. By the way, they should be strong enough.That's all!You have sewn a horse for your beloved child yourself. It is not that difficult to sew a toy for a baby, especially if you sit down, understand the instructions a little and set aside some time. Your baby will constantly play with such a soft product, because it was created by his own mother, who spares nothing for her beloved child. Most likely, you will still be surprised why you did not sew soft toys for your child before? After excellent results, it is important not to stop, and try to learn how to create even more beautiful things that your baby will truly appreciate and love, because mom put so much love and effort into sewing them.
