Sew a funny toy for small children with your own hands - soft cubes from shreds of bright fabric.
You will need: multi-colored cotton fabric (chintz, satin, but you can also take denim, fine wool, felt), sewing threads in color, a needle, pattern paper, a pencil, a ruler, padding (you can use holofiber or synthetic winterizer from an unnecessary pillow, also, of course, the special stuffing material for soft toys, which is sold in a store for needlewomen, is also suitable). You can also take foam rubber and cut a cube out of it, which will then need to be put into a fabric cover.
We build a pattern of six identical squares. Thus the pattern is designed to have fewer seams, but you can also cut six of the same squares out of the fabric and stitch them together. The size of the pattern can be varied to your liking. Do not forget about the seam allowances (about 0.5-1 cm)!
We pin the pattern onto the fabric, cut out a detail from the fabric and sew it (from the inside out). You should get something like a box with a lid that can be sewn on one or two sides of the three. Then we turn the cube through the hole left, fill it with padding polyester.
Gently sew the last side of the cube with a thread in the color of the fabric.
Helpful hint: the cubes can be decorated with appliqués depicting animals or letters, but the drawings must be done before stitching the cube, immediately after the cube has been cut out of the fabric.
