Lesson of tailoring Tilda lamb with a pattern.
It didn't take long for textiles todolls to win the hearts of all craftswomen - needlewomen who make toys with their own hands. Searching for creative ideas for sewing dolls on the Internet, you can find a large number of manufacturing variations worthy of respect and admiration. And this applies not only to dolls in human likeness. More and more representatives of the rich world of flora and fauna appear. And a striking example worthy of everyone's attention is a sheep, examples of which are very many. There are many varieties of sheep dolls. These can be sheep in traditional guise, in human clothes with accessories and noble interior dolls that will decorate any home. Depending on which doll you choose to make, the list of necessary materials and the pattern model will vary. Before you start your work on making a sheep, you should familiarize yourself with the basic recommendations:
- in order for the doll to come out well and proportionally, the pattern must be transferred and the details cut out carefully and accurately;
- When deciding on the dimensions of your pattern, always keep in mind that when stuffing the body, the doll will become wider;
- Always pay special attention to the pattern and sewing of the head, as this is the most difficult and responsible moment;
- When cutting out all the details, take into account the quality of the material and its ability to stretch.
To make a sheep you will need two- three types of fabric (two types of fabric will be needed to make the body and one - for the chest heart), stuffing material, embroidery threads, paints for decorating the muzzle and most importantly - a pattern for a sheep doll and a sewing diagram. The consumption of materials will always depend on the size of your doll. And below you can see the pattern of our sheep itself and the diagram by which all the pattern parts are assembled.
It is also worth dwelling separately on the nuances of the sewing itself:
- It is better to make the body of the sheep from terry cloth;
- for the heart on the stomach, a brighter fabric will do, and you can also use it to make the inner part of the ear;
- When filling the doll, make sure thatthe filling material does not "run" to the sides. Secure it with a few stitches through the places where the brown material meets the fur;
- the nose, eyes and mouth should be embroidered with one thread. For greater effect, choose coarse threads;
- sewing the head - this is a very painstaking job. It is better to do it by hand, sweeping it;
- Before sewing the head, connect it to the ears.
So, following all the recommendations and knowing all the nuances when sewing, you can make such a cute sheep with your own hands.
