Sew an unusual pillow in an hour. It will be pleasant to lie on it, take a nap, putting a light cloud under your head. The product is good because even inexperienced craftswomen can create it.
Fabric, pattern
Start sewing your pillow by picking the fabric. You don't have to go to the store for it. Maybe your child has grown up, but his blanket is white or blue? It will do just fine. You can create a designer item from an ordinary white sheet. If you have a piece of pink fur fabric with a small pile, velor, flannel, you will get a soft and pleasant to the touch product.
Take a drawing paper or a piece of cardboard 50x30 cm in size. Draw a cloud on it with a pencil. Decorate the wavy edge with a cup, glass. Turn these kitchen items upside down. The bowl will help to make bulging waves, the glass - concave. In this process, complete improvisation is allowed. You can render the cloud the way you want. Lovers of regular shapes can fold the cardboard in half lengthwise, draw a wavy line on top and sides, and cut along the outlined contour. Now the sheet unbends and a symmetrical cloud appears before the eyes.
Cutting, sewing
Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other. Attach the finished piece to the wrong side. Pin it off the canvas. Not pressing hard on a simple soft pencil, sketch out the outlines. Remove the pins and pattern, cut along the pencil lines, leaving 1 cm on all sides for seam allowances.
Zigzag or overlock the edges. If the machine has such an operation when you can simultaneously create a seam and then overcast it immediately, use it. If you have nothing to process the edges with, you don't want to do this on your hands, it's okay, you can leave them natural, but you need to sew 2 halves of the cloud pillow together. Do not forget to leave an unstitched space equal to 10-15 cm on one of the small sides.
Turn the pillow blank through it to the front side. This hole will aid in filling the product. Put on a lightweight synthetic winterizer. First, you need to cut it into small pieces. Spread the filler evenly. Take a needle and thread to match, sew a hole on your hands. The cloud pillow is ready.
Decorating
If you are sewing for a child and want an applique on one side of the product, create it in advance. After you have made the cut, swept the edges of the parts, start decorating. The idea for the application will be suggested by a children's picture book. Transfer this design to the fabric.
Attach the appliqué details to the fabric of a suitable color, cut without seam allowances. Now place them on the front side of one of the cloud cushion pieces and sew with a overlock stitch. You can attach a piece of red tape, making a frame of a smiling mouth out of it, and stitch it with a regular seam. The blue tape will become the eyes. The cheerful face of the cloud is ready.
If these decoration methods do not work for you, attach the glue applique with an iron. Then sew the pillow parts, leaving a gap, and put a lightweight filler through it.
The child will be delighted. On a pillow with his favorite characters, he will fall asleep faster. And an adult will like a comfortable thing.
