Sew a toy from scraps of cloth

To make this kind of clown youyou will need to find many different pieces of tissue - it can be and scraps or old unnecessary things that do not mind cutting. The main thing is to have a motley and bright coloring. In addition, prepare the fabric that will go to the trunk (here it is better to choose a plain material) and the filler (sintepon, cotton wool). To make hair, you will need yarn or yarn for felting, depending on what you plan your hair for your clown. However, you can use other materials that are suitable for the hair of textile dolls - satin ribbon, crochet, bunched yarn, etc.

Take the patterns and transfer them to the fabric. You should get four parts - one head, one cap and two mirror elements for the trunk in two colors.

To assemble the trunk, add two parts(in different colors), align and sew on the middle line. Similarly, you need to do with the two remaining elements. Properly iron the seams and fold in front and back, what you have turned out (face to face). Sew along the contour, but leave a gap on the line for honing the head.

Turn out the trunk, iron and stufffiller. To form handles and legs, make small balls from the filler and push them tightly to the very end of the leg. Take the double thread and pull it from the inside out, where there is a double layer of fabric with allowances and then walk through the top layer of the material along the arc. Similarly, sew on the reverse side, tightening the thread tight and tight so that your ball does not slip away.

So gradually you will manage to make pens andlegs. Now you can tackle the head. As in the previous master class with circles, this kruglyash too need to be stitched with a stitching line along the edge and tighten, filling it with stuffing.

Before you sew your head to the torso, take a stitched stitch along the line of the neck to tuck the allowances inward.

Sew your head, and then walk through the line from the neck to the armpits of the toy (grasp the backrest and in front of it together). Take it well.

Sew a clown cap, and around the neck pick up the lace.
