To create a patchwork brownie we needed:
• Some denim and cotton plaid - the second was deliberately distressed, since the mythological creature lives behind the stove and doesn't care too much about its costume.
• Coarse linen-colored thread, medium-thick thread in dark pink and blue shades.
• 2 needles – gypsy and fine.
• Scissors.
• 2 large and 2 small linen buttons; 1 button, covered with plain chintz.
• A handful of cotton wool.
• A plastic cover from an unnecessary notepad, a ballpoint pen.
Sequencing:
On the plastic they drew a figure resembling an egg (body with head) and a circle (ear). Both parts were cut out. A large pattern was placed on an ironed checkered piece of paper and outlined. We made another similar detail. Two round ears were cut out of denim material.
The girl herself sewed the ears with a pink thread folded in half and placed folds on each in those places that would later be attached to the temples of the toy.At this time, I sewed a pocket with blue thread to the front lower body, then made contrasting decorative stitches on the pocket and added decor - lace flowers. A button covered with fabric turned into a nose, dark miniature buttons became eyes, and tufts of thick light threads became hair and a mustache. To sew on all the little things listed, a thin needle was used.
Together, we manually connected the parts of the body from the inside out, turned it right side out, sewed the ears into the previously left gaps, carefully stuffed the doll with cotton wool through the top of the head, and sewed up this hole on the crown of the head.
From the same ball that helped us provide vegetation to the brownie’s head, we wove 4 braids: longer legs, shorter arms. Using a gypsy needle, we attached the legs, masking the attachment points with large buttons (thanks to them, the toy man can sit when he gets tired of hanging). Instead of bast shoes, they built him something like sneakers and decorated them with imitation laces.
Under the oval patch on the back there were hidden knots that held the arms on the body. We attached a loop under the hair to hang the toy, if desired. After examining the product, we decided that the flirty flowers on the plump belly emphasized the good nature of our hero. Overall he turned out to be positive and sweet, didn’t he?
