Unlike previous soft toys, this bear is not entirely easy to make, but the result will pleasantly surprise you.

To make this toy you will need knitting needles No. 2.5 and 100% acrylic threads (100g - 230 meters).

1. Prepare a thread in the color of the toy dress (in this example, the color is red) and start casting on 20 loops. It is worth noting that the first stitch of a row should always be removed, and the last stitch should be knitted purlwise, while knitting tightly.

Structure:

Rows 1 and 2 - knit all - thread color: red

Row 3 - purl all, start introducing white thread and alternating colors: red loop - white loop.

Row 4 - knit all - thread color: red.

The next 6 rows need to be knitted in stockinette stitch.

Row 1 - purl all - thread color: beige

Knit the next 8 rows with beige thread (the wrong side - with purl loops, and the front side - with knit stitches).

2. Now all the loops need to be collected on an auxiliary thread. At the same time, pass another auxiliary thread where the red and beige threads meet (from the wrong side - see image).

3. The face should be embroidered with dark thread. Prepare the fabric for the backing and cut a circle of small diameter from it.

4. Prepare the ribbon on which you want to hang your toy. Tie a knot at the bottom of the ribbon and secure it to the toy. Next you need to tighten the upper auxiliary thread.

5. Making bear ears. First you need to cast on 3 loops. Knit once and bind off the stitches.

6. Attach the ears to the toy’s head. Use a needle and thread to tie a knot inside the toy.

* To make the neck, thread and pull the thread between the bear's head and his dress.

7. We make the arms and legs of the bear in the form of a cord. First, cast on 4 loops using two knitting needles, and then knit 6 rows in a circle.

* For those who don’t know how to knit in the round, watch the video tutorial below.

8. At the end, the loops need to be gathered onto one thread, namely the one you knitted with. Next, using a needle, pass through the limb to the first thread, thereby the two threads will be side by side. You need to make 4 similar blanks.

* If you want to make the handles more neat, try threading them tightly into the body and tying the threads together in a tight knot.

9. All that remains is to fill the head and body of the bear with stuffing, and sew along the back seam. The handles need to be attached to the dress and a knot should be made inside the toy, and the legs, along with the hem of the dress, need to be sewn at the bottom.

DIY soft toys. Flying cat.

2. Using a simple pencil, trace all the details on the fabric, placing them on the fabric in advance. Small parts can be sewn directly on the main piece and then cut out. You will need: 2 legs, 1 tail, a back with a head, a belly without a head and the face of a future plush cat.

Original DIY toys made from socks

Delight your children by making these dolls for them. To do this you will need a little, namely:

socks;
threads with a needle;
scraps of light plain yarn;
filler;
narrow braid;
dark colored beads;
scissors.

Make these original toys Even those who do not know how to use a sewing machine can do it. Only possession of a needle will be useful.

Cut the sock in half. One part is the foot. The second is the heel with an elastic band. You only need the first one. Fill it with filler, but not very tightly. Sew with a needle on the right and left to mark the sides. You also need to make legs by stitching at the bottom in the middle. Sew up the top hole through which the body for the baby doll was stuffed.
Cut a small circle out of light fabric, gather it on a thread, tighten it a little, and stuff it with filler. Then you need to tighten the thread more tightly and secure it. Do not cut yet, but sew the resulting head to the body using the same thread.
Sew beads instead of eyes. You can apply blush on your cheeks to make them brighter. Tie the junction of the head with the body with braid.
Take the second part of the sock, cut off the heel, it will not be needed. You only need the top part - with an elastic band. Fold it in at the cut and sew along the edge on the arms. Put the cap on the doll’s head, sew it at the top so that you get a “tail” at the end.

Look at how original the toy turned out, which is very easy to sew with your own hands. You can make several of these and delight your kids with new dolls. There are other examples of using socks if one of the pair is lost, or these things have become too small for the child.

To make such an adorable cat, you will need:

2 socks;
threads;
needle;
scissors;
padding polyester;
Marker is better water soluble.

One sock should be filled halfway with filler. To make the base of the muzzle, roll a ball out of padding polyester and place it in the upper part of the sock.

Sew the hole in a straight line to create two ears.

Using a marker, draw the facial features of the original toy.

If the marker is too bright or not water-soluble, then it is better to use a simple pencil.

Now you need to embroider according to these marks, taking a thread of the appropriate color.

In order for such original cat toys to acquire front paws, you need to make them from a second sock. To do this, first cut it in half crosswise, and then as in the photo.

Now these paws need to be sewn up, stuffed with padding polyester, and sewn to the body of the toy.

This is such a wonderful animal. If you like him, make him a friend.

Original toy - cat Basik

This toy is loved by both children and adults. The cute cat is made from a material that is pleasant to the touch.

If you want to quickly create such an original toy, then use a simple pattern.

At the bottom of the back and tummy you need to make an undercut, then these parts will become more voluminous.

On the Basik pattern, the undercut locations are indicated by triangles. You just need to match the opposite sides of each shape and stitch on the wrong side.

The muzzle consists of two identical parts, cut in a mirror image. They need to be connected by stitching in the center.
For each paw you need to cut out 2 pieces. In total, you will need 4 parts for the hind legs and the same number for the front legs.
Sew the paired pieces on the wrong side, leaving the top unsewn. Turn the paws inside out and fill them with filler. Sew the muzzle to the tummy.
Here's how to sew Basik further. To assemble this original toy, place the front part on the back part, insert the front and back legs between them, placing them in place. Turn the toy inside out through the hole left at the bottom.
Stuff the animal with a small amount of stuffing and sew up the hole in the arms.

For experienced dressmakers, we can recommend another option. This Basik pattern is suitable for them.

Here are the paws and toes. Don't forget to sew a tail on the toy. It is given on the pattern.

Sew a fish from a piece of colored fabric and place it in Basik’s paws.

You can dress up the cat at your discretion; clothes for Basik are also not difficult to sew.

If this is a winter option, a hat with earflaps and a scarf will do. You will sew the first one from the remnants of fur, and knit a scarf from yarn.

Here are some original toys you can create with your own hands. Choose the ones you like and start crafting. And to simplify the process of creating new things and get ideas for inspiration, watch the selected videos.

This popular soft toy in the shape of a cute little gray bear is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. Anyone who has once seen a Teddy Bear will certainly want such a cute plush pet to live in his home. Many people know the fairly high cost of such a toy, but this is not a reason to give up on the dream. We offer Alternative option– sew a teddy Teddy Bear with your own hands.

How to sew a teddy bear with your own hands?

In the master class we will show you how to sew a Teddy Bear with movable legs and head from plush fabric at home, without special fastenings and accessories. So, we need this:

plush fabric gray:
light brown or beige fleece;
black large beads and a piece of faux light brown suede for the eyes;
floss threads;
synthetic filler;
wooden thread spools;
needle and thread.

Now we can start working.

DIY Teddy bears - master class

First of all, we will build a Teddy Bear pattern, shown in detail in the picture.

Now we cut out the Teddy Bear blank parts from the fabric, marking the seam allowances.

Before sewing, trim the lint from the seam allowances. This will make our work much easier. Let's start sewing our bear from the palms.

Next, we sew together the parts of the handle, sew the palm to the handle, leaving a small hole for filling with padding polyester. Turn it right side out.

Now let's take care of the legs of our bear. Sew together the leg pieces, leaving the feet open and a small hole in the toes for turning and filling.

Now we sew in the feet and turn the legs right side out.

Next, we sew the two halves of the tummy together, leaving a neck hole. We do the same for the tail of the bear. Turn the parts of the toy right side out.

Then let's take care of the bear's head. Fold the two parts and sew the chin line.

Now let's sew the ears to the head. Before this, we sew their parts together without filling them with padding polyester.

We continue to sew the head along the intended allowance.

Turn the finished head right side out.

Now we fill all the details of our bear with padding polyester. We pay special attention to the nose and legs so that the toy is stable.

Then, using floss threads, we embroider the toes and palms of the Teddy Bear.

We hide all the holes with a hidden seam.

Now let’s take care of the little bear’s face. First of all, we will embroider a nose and mouth using floss threads. Then we will sew two black beads as eyes. Cut out two small pieces of faux suede.

Now carefully lubricate the narrowed side of the eyelid with glue and very carefully, using a toothpick, tuck the flap behind the eye. Now the eyes have become more realistic, even as if alive.

Next, let's work on the articulation of the bear's head. To do this, take a wooden spool and a small piece of plush fabric.

We coat the coil with glue, paste it around with a piece of fabric, and also hem it for reliability. The result is a neck for a bear.

Now, using the neck, we connect the head to the body: we cover the holes with a strong thread in a circle, insert the spool hinge and tighten it tightly. For reliability, we fix the structure with threads.

We ended up with a rotating head.

Now let's move on to the legs. We fasten them using the so-called rope connection: we take a thick and strong rope, thread it through one leg and the wrong side, that is, the side adjacent to the body, then we lead the rope through the body and hook the second leg. Then we return to the first leg in the same way and tightly tie the rope into a knot.

Let's check the bear's stability - he should be able to stand on his own.

We attach the handles to the body in the same way.

And lastly, sew on the tail.

Now we beautifully comb our finished Teddy Bear.

And for beauty, we’ll tie a bow around our neck. If you wish, you can also dress the teddy bear by sewing him a shirt, trousers, etc.

You can sew such a beautiful Teddy Bear with your own hands. You and your kids will definitely like it.

Many people wonder how to sew a bear with their own hands using patterns. Today we will try to sew a bear with our own hands. If you are new to sewing bears, then this simple Master Class may be of interest to you; I will not reveal anything new to experienced seamstresses. I just want to talk about the main stages of sewing.

What you need to sew a bear with your own hands:

Let's dwell on the fabric, which fabric is better for a beginning craftswoman?

Viscose, plush (cotton and artificial), mohair. I want to write a separate article a little later about the pros and cons of each of these fabrics. For beginners, you can sew a bear from felt or fleece. The most important thing is that the fabric is thick enough.

The height of this bear is 12 cm. I would like to warn beginners, do not immediately go after miniature. How smaller bear, the more difficult it will be to sew it. Practice first and sew a bear at least 15-20 centimeters.

Sewing a bear body

Sewing a bear is different in that each part of the body is sewn separately.

To begin, we will print out the pattern and cut out the details.

The picture is clickable, click on it to enlarge

The pattern indicates how many pieces of each part need to be cut. The arrows indicate the places that we do not sew up and leave for stuffing.

Cut out two parts of the bear's body

And sew the two halves together

Then we sew the neckline with a thick thread using a basting stitch. We stuff the body with padding polyester very tightly so that the body holds its shape well and tighten the thread. Fasten the thread well.

Tailoring a bear head

Let's proceed to the most important and difficult part of creating a bear - sewing the head. We cut out the details of the head, two halves of the head, the frontal part, a nose from a piece of brown felt and ears.

The nose can be made not of felt, but embroidered with brown floss threads.

First, we sew two parts of the head from the nose to the chin, and then we begin to sew in the frontal part, align it from the side of the nose and carefully, slowly sew on the side of the nose, the frontal part, and the occipital part on both sides.

Then we turn out our parts

We fill the head with padding polyester and tighten the hole. The head was formed.

Then we make the nose. Blindstitch a piece of dark brown felt to the space between the two side seams. Or you can embroider with black or brown threads.

Let's embroider the mouth. To do this, we use embroidery thread or wool. We embroider according to the pattern below. Please note that we start the thread and at the end bring it to the bottom of the muzzle.

Sew on the eyes. First you need to find a suitable place for them on the face. We attach the eyes, pin them with a needle, and look at the result. We check whether it turned out symmetrically, if so, then sew them on.

In order to sew on the eye bead without the knot being visible, we start the needle from the bottom of the head, where we will subsequently sew it on.

We put on the bead and pull it with force so that the bead forms an eye socket (we tighten it so that the muzzle is beautiful and alive). We bring the thread to the same place at the bottom of the head and fasten it.

We sew the second eye using the same technology.

Make the ears. We sew the inner and outer parts of the ear from the inside along an arc using a basting stitch. Turn it inside out.

Sew the ears to the head with a hidden seam

We sew on the ears with a slight C-shaped bend, forming the shell of the ear, so we will give a more natural look to the head.

The head is finished!

We cut out the arms and legs of the bear.

Sew the two parts of the bear's arms together, don't forget to leave a small hole for stuffing

We also sew the leg parts together, not forgetting to leave a small hole for stuffing toys. Sew in the foot details.

We turn the sewn arms and legs inside out, stuff them with padding polyester and sew the stuffing hole.

Assembly

First of all, we sew the head to the body with a hidden seam in a circle.

And then we sew the limbs to the body.

In order to sew on arms and legs, it is better to take a special needle for toys. It is much longer than usual.

The pattern for sewing the paws to the body is as shown in the diagram:

As you can see, we do not pierce the paw all the way through, but pierce the bear’s handle from the body side with a needle, then we pierce the bear’s body at the top, as shown in the photo, and pierce the second handle from the body side.

Through the second paw

Having sewn both paws together and pulling them towards the body, go back and for the strength of the structure, sew them several times, the distance between the seams should not be more than 3-4 mm, this will allow our paws to rotate.

Then we sew the legs to the body, bring the needle out and fasten the rest of the thread well.

It is better to take a thick, artificial thread for attaching the limbs, because the legs will spin and a less harsh thread will quickly fray.

The connection of the paws can also be done using buttons. Buttons are attached to the outside of the paws suitable size and sewn on. This will allow the bear to sit, raise its arms and make it more mobile.

First of all, sew the ears and paws, connecting the parts with the right side inward. Sew the foot circles to the bottom of the paws.

Turn the pieces inside out and stuff the paws, leaving free space at the top for sewing.

If you took a fabric that is not very dense, glue a piece of non-woven fabric on the back side where the eyes should be.

If using two parts for the body, sew them along the muzzle.

Sweep side details to the body, starting to sew from the ear to the back. Then again from the ear to the bottom of the muzzle. By the way, at this stage do not forget sew in the ears and paws themselves.

Where the muzzle bends, the fabric needs to be gathered a little. It is better to secure it with a pin and then stitch it.

The result should be a piece with one unsewn seam at the back (where the butt is).

Machine or hand sew all seams except the opening at the bottom of the back. Turn the toy inside out.

On the muzzle, make cuts in place of the eyes and secure them. You can make do with beads or glue half beads.

Fill the toy with padding polyester.

Sew up the hole left earlier. Sew a loop of braid in place of the tail and a button on it.

Don't forget about the button nostrils. As you can see, making this cutie is not at all difficult.

Unusual pet self made is ready to move into your home. It will also be an excellent gift for loved ones. They will definitely appreciate your efforts and care.
