To sew lovebirds, prepare:
- cotton fabric with a small pattern and threads that harmonize in color;
- filler;
- black and white acrylic paint;
- sewing tools (needle, scissors, sewing machine, tailor's pins);
- a small piece of felt;
- satin ribbon and floss threads for decoration (optional).
So let's get started.
1. You can use a ready-made pattern, or you can draw it yourself (then your product will definitely turn out unique). Let's place it on the material, folded in half, facing inward. Let's circle it.
2. Sew along the contour using a machine and cut out with allowances. We cut it with scissors for ease of turning.
3. Turn it inside out, straightening the seam. On the front side, draw a line with a pencil that will separate the animals. Let's machine stitch it.
4. Fill tightly with filler.
5. Sew up the bottom edge (use a blind stitch). Fold the edges of the cut corner inward and also sew it with invisible stitches. Let's repeat with the second corner.
6. Let's draw a face with acrylic.We decorate the figures at our discretion. For example, let's sew on a felt heart with embroidery, which will be very relevant on Valentine's Day.
To make the souvenir brighter and more interesting, you can combine fabric of different colors. To do this, we will cut out the animals separately and change the pattern.
1. Let's transfer the silhouettes to pieces of fabric that are harmonious in color.
2. Sew and cut as described above.
3. Turn it inside out and fill it tightly. Let's sew up the bottom.
4. Let’s position them mirror each other and connect the side and ears of one cat with similar parts of the body of the other using a hidden seam.
5. Draw the face with acrylic paints. We will tie it with a thin satin ribbon and lace, which we will attach in several places with small stitches to the bodies of the animals.
Just like that, quickly and easily, the symbol of love and fidelity is ready to give its owner the warmth of your heart.
