Making a kitty house for bags with your own hands – interesting and detailed master class
Where do you store the bags?Or do your bags not have a specific place? Bag holders are a great combination of functionality and interior decor. Your bags are now always at hand and in perfect order. I suggest sewing a Cat - Bag Holder.We will need:
- Cat body fabric (white coarse calico)
- Fabric for dresses
- For the priming of the body (Clay pva, coffee soluble the cheapest) Acrylic paints and brushes for face painting
- You will also need a sintepon or any other filler for toys, a narrow elastic band, a spider web narrow, lace for the clothes decor at your request.
My cat body pattern is the most primitive.Trace the body parts onto the fabric.I first sew the pieces together and then cut them out. The stitch length is 1.5 mm, make fastenings at the beginning and end of the line, do not forget to leave openings for turning (these places are shaded on the pattern).
Cut out, leave an allowance of 0.5 mm, leave 1 cm - 1.5 cm in unsewn areas.
Turn out the parts.Stuff the body tightly with filler, sew up the opening at the bottom with a blind stitch. Do not stuff the paws and tail completely, leave 1 cm of fabric, also sew up the stuffing holes with a blind stitch, sew to the body. Stuff the ears loosely, steam with an iron (they will become flat and dense). Stitch the ears along the seam, sew. In my photo, you can see a thread at the back. I make such a loop from the thread before priming, I hang the workpiece by it to dry.
The body is ready for priming.Before priming, I take measurements and make a pattern so as not to waste time. While the workpiece is drying, I sew the dress. I make the composition for the primer like this: 100 ml of water, 1-2 tbsp. PVA glue, 2 tsp. of the cheapest instant coffee.
Apply the solution evenly with a brush, preferably not to wet too much. Prime and hang to dry.
Now let's get to the clothes. To create a pattern, I use this cheat sheet. I found it on the Internet a long time ago.
I made a pattern according to my measurements and transferred it onto the fabric.
For further actions you will need a narrow adhesive web.
I changed my mind about making cuffs on the sleeves, so I processed the lower edge of the sleeves. Put the web, fold the fabric and iron.
I sewed on some lace on the elastic band.
I processed the cuts on the back in the same way.
Sew the shoulder seams.
Sew in the sleeves.
Prepare the collar and cuffs for assembly.(If you decide to sew a dress with cuffs). Fold the piece in half, right sides together, iron. Sew along the short edges and turn inside out. Iron the open edges inward.
Insert the neck opening into the collar.
Baste first on one side. When basteed, distribute the neckline cuts evenly in the collar.
Baste on the other side and sew.
I sewed the back here with a blind stitch.
For the sack skirt, I cut out two rectangles 27x50cm. If the fabric allows, you can cut out the whole piece at once.
Cut a drawstring from the fabric for the elastic. The length is equal to the width of the skirt, the width of the drawstring is 4.5 cm.
Turn the edges inward on both sides and iron them well. Treat the bottom edge with adhesive web, fold the top edge and stitch at a distance so that the elastic band can pass through. Sew on the drawstring.
Insert and secure the elastic into the drawstring and into the top of the skirt, decorate the hem as desired and using your imagination.
The last step is to sew the side seam. We dress up our cat. I sew a loop of tape to the back of the collar so that the bag can be hung on a hook.
I also decided to sew an apron.Cut out a rectangle, process the bottom edge and sides with cobweb. Gather the top with a thread, gather, straighten the folds, sew on a belt. I used a white satin wide ribbon as a belt.
Now let's get to the face and make it"face". Of course, you could have drawn the muzzle earlier, but the choice is yours. I first sew the clothes, and then choose the color of the eyes to match the clothes. First, draw with a simple pencil.
And we paint with acrylic paints. I am not a good artist, so I will not describe the face painting. I got this little face.
The cat - bag holder is ready.
Now your bags have their own house. You can buy this fake at the "Fair"
