With all the abundance of soft toys in stores, sometimes you want to surprise your friends and loved ones with a handmade gift. Present such a funny cow to one of them and you will receive a lot of compliments and words of gratitude in return. It's so easy to improve a person's mood without spending a lot of time and effort.
It is necessary
Cloth or short-piled fur, synthetic winterizer, threads with needles, scissors, paper, pencil, thin rope
Instructions
Step 1
On paper, draw roughly the same patterns of cow parts as in the picture. Cut out a paper pattern and attach the details to the fabric. Hooves and horns are best cut out of solid black dense fabric, and the cow's nose is made of pink velvety. For the body, if you have not found a fabric similar in color to the natural coloring of a cow, you can take a bright and colorful printed chintz - it will be even funnier!
Step 2
Cut out the parts of the toy from the fabric - torso 2 parts, legs 2 parts, head 2 parts, ear 4 parts, horn 4 parts, nose 2 parts. On the face, embroider the eyes of a cow with threads, not forgetting about the long fluffy eyelashes. Embroider wide nostrils on the pink nose. Sew the details of the hooves to the details of the legs.
Step 3
Sew the cow's torso, legs, ears, nose and horns, remember to leave holes for stuffing. First, insert the tail from a thin rope into the two parts of the body to be sewn, it is better to sew this place twice so that the rope holds well. Turn the parts out, gently straighten and stuff with padding polyester. Insert the horns, ears and bangs from a short cut rope into place from the front of the head part inward and sew the head, turn it out and stuff it with padding polyester.
Step 4
Sew the front legs to the cow's body, try not to see the stitches. Sew the nose to the head detail with threads to match the fabric of the nose. Sew the head into the body tightly and neatly. Hang a small bell on a string around the cow's neck so that the animal does not get lost in the meadow!
Step 5
Additionally, decorate your cow with a felt flower or embroider a clover on the muzzle in the mouth area. You can carefully insert a wire into the tail rope - the tail will bend!
If you liked sewing soft toys with your own hands, and you want to continue this exciting activity, embroider your identification mark in some specific place - this will give a special chic to your crafts.
