Biscornu is a simple pillow,often used for needles. And here the buts begin. This is not quite an ordinary pillow, it is like an irregular curved toy. In general, such a product looks unusual and always bright. The photo of the biscornu is surprising and touching, and it is not always clear right away how exactly to make it.
It is not difficult to find a master class on making biscornu, often such explanations have several photos, but practice alone decides everything.
Types of biscorms
Biscorn can be:
- Standard;
- Fragmentary
- Five-piece.
Padded biscoron in the classical version -Embroidered, often with a cross. It may well be embroidered smooth, but the manufacturing technology requires it to sew it in a certain way on the seam. The seam is also specific and requires a counting tissue. Against the backdrop of a picture embroidered with smoothness, such a seam will look too rough. If an uneven pad is made from pieces of different fabrics, it is already patchwork, and has little to do with biscorony. It is possible to use any other technique of embroidery on the marked squares. The main thing is that the schemes fit well together and create the illusion of a whimsical pattern. Most often in biscorony it is either an illusion of a curved mirror or an optical pattern rotation, which is achieved by turning the embroidered elements and their shifted cross-linking. The seam in such products must be dense and durable, since it is for the skin of the circuit to hold separate elements.
Standard The most simple, but no less elegant, curved cushions are made of two squares.
Each square is sewn with a special seam. Most often, a thick one is chosen
. In this case, the thread should be tightened so that the thread does not hang down and passes tightly along the base. In this case, you cannot tighten it to the folds on the fabric.
Patterns for embroidery of squares are most oftenchoose the same ones. When making the simplest biscornu, the embroidery is done symmetrically and crosswise. After both squares are ready, they are sewn together.
The main point in sewing biscornu isto correctly attach the parts to each other. We attach face to face. The corner of one square to the center of the second. You should sew not for the fabric - the basis of the embroidery, but for the threads of the stem stitch. This way the squares turn out more convex, and the pillow acquires its unusual shape.
When the seam reaches the corner, the corner of the firstsquare is at the level of the middle of the side of the second. There is no need to turn anything out, since the biscornu is sewn immediately on the front side, regardless of the pattern embroidered on it. When there is a small distance left before the end of the seam, we stuff the cushion. This should not be done too tightly, but also not make the sewn product empty, since after sewing, the cushion must be pulled together in the center. When the cushion is stuffed and the seam is finished, a thread is passed through the central part of the biscornu in several folds. 2 identical buttons are sewn in the center of the upper and lower parts. The biscornu is ready.

Fragmentary
These biscornus are somewhat more complex.They consist of a larger number of elements. Here, the patterns for the elements can be completely asymmetrical, this will not affect the result. The fragments are embroidered on squares of the same size. You will need 8 of them. First, you should sew 4 squares together. To do this, turn each square, like rotating a photo on a monitor. Sew the first square to the second, turned 90 degrees. Sew in the standard way - corner to corner, side to side and only one side. Turn the third square 180 degrees and sew the top side to the bottom of the second square. Turn the fourth square 270 degrees and sew the top side to the side of the first, and the right side to the side of the third square. This will create a square in which the selected embroidery seems to be turned over - the highest class, significantly confusing the viewer who does not understand the intricacies of creating such products.
Cross-stitched pillows are always popular, becauseThey indicate a desire to decorate the room and the surrounding objects and the time spent on this. Biscornu also requires a certain dexterity in assembling and forming the pattern.
When two squares are ready, on each of themthe embroidery rotates in a circle as if under a kaleidoscope, they need to be sewn together. This seam connects the corner of one square with the side of the second. This is how a biscornu is obtained, on both sides of which the embroidery seems to be scrolled to the center. Without finishing the seam by 2 cm, you should stuff the pillow. After it becomes dense enough, the seam should be closed. The finished biscornu must be pulled together in the center with several stitches, and identical buttons should be sewn into the center.
Pyatiklinka Especially complex biscorony, whichOften called banurukotti. It is surprisingly difficult to sew such a biscuit. Not so difficult as troublesome and if it turned out - a new master is ready to make biscorony. The main thing here is attention and accuracy. In the photo, such a pillow may seem round, embroidered with some sort of unprecedented tricks.
This biscornu consists of three rows of embroideredelements. The cross stitch on each of them can be different. Ideally, these are 3 asymmetrical patterns. Each square of the upper part will carry one pattern, the side part - another, and the lower part either the pattern of the upper part or a completely different one. All 15 squares can be embroidered with the same patterns, but this will make the biscornu too simple.
5 squares with the same, preferablyasymmetrical, with one corner of the pattern facing the center. Sew the first square to the second by the sides, the second to the third, etc. Sew the last square to the first. This is how we get the upper part of the biscornu with five protruding corners. Each square is connected to two adjacent ones by the side and they are all connected in the center by corners. We assemble the lower part in the same way. Carefully lay out the remaining parts so that they lie strictly in the same order. The main feature of the biscornu, despite all its apparent asymmetry, is symmetry and repetition of motifs.
The five-piece is formed not from two, but from threeplanes. Therefore, after forming two surfaces, we proceed to sewing the side. Each fragment of the side surface is sewn with its sides to two adjacent squares and the corner to the junction of their corners. This is how a cross of three corners is obtained. The next square of the side surface is sewn between the next two parts of the upper part. As a result, a row of side squares seems to lift the upper canvas. In the photo, it looks like a huge fluffy flower with two types of petals.
When the side is sewn, the resultingthe detail is sewn to the bottom part. It should be sewn so that it is not noticeable to which of the parts the side details were sewn first. 2 cm before the end of the seam, you should stop, thoroughly stuff the biscornu with filler and finish the seam. We pull the thread through the center and make several tightening stitches. Sew a beautiful button on each side of the resulting biscornu.
Unusual biscorning
Biscornu "Tulip"If the five-piece isunconventional, but quite often used form of biscornu, sometimes there are completely exotic forms. The base may not be square, but hexagonal or even octagonal. And sewing it using the biscornu technique, you can get a truly fabulous beauty. Such biscornu do not have a separate name, they are little known and quite difficult to make, although the result justifies such an investment of labor and time. No matter how many corners and sides there are, you can always slightly turn the product, connecting the corner of one of them with the side of the second. In such biscornu, you need to carefully count the number of corners, so as not to forget to sew on any of them. When stuffing such biscornu, you should pay attention to each corner, so that they all protrude evenly, you need to push a tuft of stuffing into each corner, and only then fill the core. So the biscornu will have the correct and symmetrical shape.
And although the patterns for biscornu mostly imply cross stitch, they can also be used with bead embroidery, bargello, and half cross stitch.
There are also some very funny triangular onesbiscornu. In this case, they can be created from two triangles, when the upper and lower parts consist of one whole triangle. In the second case, each part of the triangle consists of three separate triangles. The result is a sophisticated biscornu of six small triangles. Here, the placement of the pattern on each element depends solely on the imagination of the master.
Biscornu requires:
- Select a picture;
- The created symmetry (it is necessary to decide whether the symmetry will pass through the figure itself, or it will be created by connecting the elements);
- The choice of the form and the number of elements composing biscorony.
You can choose a shape based on the pattern, but you canTo choose a composition for the already existing baubles. You can start with the lightest model, and you can immediately show the class and create such a multifaceted and pretentious miracle of needlework that those who saw it just gasp in surprise. Do not be afraid of the creation of biscorn, it is made quite simply, but it looks original, attractive and always unusual, breaking traditional views on the symmetry of things. Such products always find use in everyday life and as a decoration, and making them will bring many vivid impressions.
