A soft and cozy cloud is one of the most pleasant and popular toys for adults and children. Sewing it is very simple, and today we will tell you how to do it. We offer you a pattern, some useful tips and ideas for inspiration.

Such a cloud can be a great gift for the parents of a newborn baby. Sew it in pink or blue, depending on the gender of your baby. You can embroider a name on the cloud, and then the gift will become the best sign of attention. However, such a homemade cloud will appeal to adults as well. It is so pleasant to hug him, and it is a pleasure to look at such an accessory. Replacing the usual decorative pillows in the living room with a cozy flock of clouds is a great idea even for a house where there are no kids. Well, if you already have them, it's definitely worth sewing them.

What do we need?

• a piece of dense fabric (better natural: linen or cotton)
• pattern
• stuffing material (if making a toy for a child, do not use feather stuffing - it can cause allergies)

How to sew a cloud?

Let's start with the pattern. We offer you several options to choose from.

You can print any pattern, although it is not at all necessary to do this, because drawing a cloud is very simple. Size is not important here - choose for yourself. In our case, it is 35 * 27 (to the extreme points).

Cut out two identical fabric pieces. It is very convenient to do several pieces at once. Sew on a typewriter from the seamy side, leaving a hole for an eversion.

If you don't have a typewriter, you can easily do it manually.

Please note that the edge can be further worked out from the outside or even trimmed with piping.

We just have to decorate our clouds. The eyes can be drawn with an indelible marker. You can glue the applique.

Then we just stuff the craft with soft and fluffy fillers (padding polyester, for example) and sew up the hole. You can add small pom-poms, eyelets to hang the clouds, or legs to seat the toy.

It's probably hard to find someone who doesn't like such a cute toy. Place clouds in your home and admire them. Sew a few pieces if you have children - they will definitely enjoy playing with them.

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, then you get a soft and pleasant to the touch product.

Take a Whatman paper or a piece of cardboard measuring 50x30 cm. Draw a cloud on it with a pencil. Decorate the wavy edge with a cup, glass. Turn these kitchen items upside down. A bowl will help to make bulging waves, a glass - concave ones. 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 the top and sides, and cut along the outlined contour. Now the leaf 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 into 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.

Overcast the edges with a zigzag or overlock. If the machine has such an operation, when you can create a seam at the same time and then sweep it, 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.

Through it, turn the pillow blank onto the front side. This hole will aid in filling the product. Put on a light padding polyester. 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 on the overlock. You can attach a piece of red braid, 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, use an iron to attach the glue applique. 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.

The cloud pads look very cute and fit especially well in toddlers' rooms. Parents often decorate cribs with these pillows. Usually a soft pastel-colored fabric is used as a material to emphasize that this is a children's room.

Observing the clouds, we often have feelings of tenderness, lightness and softness.

Cloud-shaped pillows will be an excellent decorative element of a child's room.

It is better to fill such pillows with synthetic fluff or holofiber, these materials are hypoallergenic, keep their shape, perfectly withstand washing and dry quickly.

Finding a similar product in a store is problematic. But it is very easy to create such a craft at home. It is quite simple to sew, because the pattern is no different from the pattern of an ordinary pillow, it just has curly edges that resemble a cloud.

The main thing here is to think over the design well so that it is interesting, to choose high-quality materials.

To make the interior fun, combine different pillows with each other.

Materials are selected based on the needs, but usually soft tissue is taken. The filler is also bought according to the needs. The most popular are synthetic winterizer or batting. In this article, we will take a closer look at the nuances of tailoring the product.

In the process of selecting fabrics, it is better to focus on the pattern and color of the wallpaper, other textile items in the children's room.

When thinking about the decor and style of the future product, be sure to take into account the style of the interior.

To sew such a craft, you do not need expensive or rare materials, the details can be found in any department or store for needlework.

It is better to sew baby pillows from dense natural materials.

• The fabric in the desired color.
• Threads to match.
• The filler is synthetic winterizer or batting, they create a flat surface of the pillow.
• Needle, sharp scissors.
• Pencil, marker, pen and crayon - for transferring the pattern to the fabric.
• Thick paper that will hold the pattern you want. You can use whatman paper, cardboard.
• On request, ruffles, embroidery threads, beads, appliques, buttons and other accessories.

The product is quite possible to sew by hand, but you will have to spend much more time than sewing on a sewing machine.

Before starting work, fabrics are necessarily washed and ironed with a hot iron in order to sew, taking into account possible shrinkage.

If you intend to make a pillow not only for decorating a room, but also for sleeping, then it is advisable to sew a pillowcase for it.

Pattern and fabric for sewing pillows

The pattern is very simple to create - download a picture with a cloud outline that you like. Print, if there is no printer, hold a white sheet of paper to the screen and draw an outline with a pencil. Cut out the cloud along the outline.

At this stage, you can improvise as much as possible, the cloud can be made whatever you want.

Now it remains to transfer the drawing from paper to the selected material for the pattern, for example, to cardboard or whatman paper. Attach the cut out cloud to the cardboard and begin to draw, but not along the contour, but retreating from it to the selected length. After all, the printed cloud is small in size, so you will have to retreat from it by 20-30 centimeters or even more, depending on the size of the finished product selected.

First of all, you need to decide on the size of the pillow.

Transferring the drawing to the mold, cut with scissors. Ready! Later, the pattern is applied to the fabric, and outlined with chalk, taking into account the indents - about two centimeters. There are no special criteria for choosing a fabric, but it is undesirable to take a stretchy one. Fleece is ideal because it is pleasant to the touch.

Fold the fabric in half so that we have 2 identical parts.

If you want to create a cloud with legs, then follow the steps described above to transfer a drawing from a picture from the Internet to paper. Just choose a cloud with legs.

Their popularity is well deserved - such products are easily sewn, they look incredibly cute.

They are ideal for decorating children's rooms.

Sewing pillows

There is nothing complicated when sewing a pillow, the main thing is to do everything carefully. If you plan to decorate the product with a ribbon or lace along the edge, then immediately after cutting out two parts of the pillow from the canvas, a ribbon is sewn to one of them from the wrong side. It is better to sew the tape, bending it a little, to get a beautiful curly line.

We cut out with allowances of about 1-1.5 cm.

Cut out two parts of the future pillow from the fabric, taking into account the indents of two centimeters. If you plan to embroider a design or attach an applique to one side of the craft, do it before you start sewing the pillow.

We sew along the contour on a typewriter with a regular seam, leave a hole of about 30 cm from below, as small as possible.

Fold the two pieces right side in. Sew two parts by hand or on a typewriter along the edge (taking into account indents), leaving about ten centimeters to turn the product out. Now fill the craft with a sealant. Sew the hole very carefully by hand.

We will fill our pillow for volume through the hole.

For the base of the filler, you can take a regular synthetic winterizer.

We outline the stuffed pillow along the unsewn edge.

We connect the two edges with the hem of the edges of the fabric inward and sew on a typewriter along the edge.

The cloud pillow is ready. If you want to make a whole composition of pillows, then save this template. You can make several different products and decorate a room with them.

It turns out this is such a cute pillow that will perfectly fit into the interior of any children's room.

For the base, it is better to choose plain fabrics or denser upper fabrics so that the pattern is not visible.

Volumetric heart of roses

A DIY pillow can be a wonderful gift. Armed with imagination and a needle and thread, it can even be turned into a unique valentine. We offer you a step-by-step master class for making an unusual pillow with a volumetric heart.

For work you will need:

• ready-made pillow of the desired size;
• fabric for roses, which does not require overcasting;
• scissors;
• needle and thread.

Cut out circles with a diameter of about 8 cm from the fabric, they may be slightly crooked and slightly different in size. This will only add volume and realism to the flowers.

Take a circle of fabric by the middle, gather it, forming folds as in the photo. Lock the workpiece in position with a couple of stitches.

Sew on another circle of fabric from below, forming a bulky bud.

Continue sewing the circles to the rose until you get the flower you want.

Prepare the rest of the roses using the same scheme. Their number depends on the size of the flower heart.

Sew the flowers to the pillow, starting from the outline of the heart.

Place the workpieces tightly to each other so that there are no gaps between them. A magnificent heart is ready to conquer and win hearts.

This designer pillow will decorate the room of a capricious fashionista or become a highlight of your living room. And she will cheer up at just one look at her.

Fluffy pillow

The original fringed pillow will successfully fit into any interior. The pleasant to the touch fleece will make her a favorite thing not only in the nursery.

For work you will need:

• fleece for the base of the pillow and fringe;
• filler;
• scissors;
• threads;
• pins;
• sewing machine.

Cut two 40 x 40 cm squares out of the fleece.

For a fringe, it is better to choose a fabric several colors of the same range- you get a stylish transition between them. In our case, 10 strips 37 * 10 cm are used in three shades of brown.

Fold each strip in half and cut into fringes.

Sew the first strip to the base of the pillow, stepping back 1 cm from the edges. This is the result you should get.

Next, fold back the fringe to one side.

Sew on the second strip next to it, about 1.5 cm from the first.

Continue sewing on the fringe in the same way. Alternate dark stripes with light ones across several rows, achieving a beautiful and smooth color transition.

Place a second square on top of the fringed blank and pin along the edges. Sew along the perimeter of the pillow, leaving a small hole for stuffing.

Unscrew the pillow and fill with filler. Better to use a synthetic winterizer or holofiber. Natural materials such as cotton wool and down can clump over time and the product loses its neat appearance.

Sew a blindfold on the turnout hole.

It turns out a very beautiful cushion that will create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in your home.

To decorate the toy, lace, bows and a wooden flower button are used. If you are using a life-size pattern, then cut out an 8 * 16 cm rectangle and a 4.5 cm square for the bow, or resize these parts in proportion to the owl.

Sew on the beak and lace with a zigzag stitch. Lace is placed in the center of the body, between the wings.

Sew the wings and eyes with the same seam. Manually attach the black pupil buttons.

Fold the owl body parts right side in, secure with pins and sew. Leave a hole at the bottom between the wings for further manipulation.

Turn the toy inside out, iron it and fill it with filler. If you used regular scissors to cut parts, before turning out, make neat notches near the ears and in all convex places so that the fabric does not pull together.

Decorating pillowcases with plant prints

An original way to decorate a pillowcase with floral patterns is to transfer prints of living fresh grass and leaves onto it. A product with this design will be unique and one of a kind. And it will also warm you on winter evenings with thoughts of a warm summer.

For work you will need:

• natural light fabric;
• freshly picked plants;
• hammer;
• scissors;
• parchment, preferably siliconized for baking.

Fern, plantain, clover are perfect for prints. Pluck the plant you want, spread it on the cloth and cover with parchment.

Experiment with different leaves, stems and placement to get the desired result.

Decorative pillows are one of the easiest ways to noticeably change your interior. We are used to the standard square or rectangular sofa cushions.

You can also decorate this pillow with an embroidered lettering.

The color scheme of such hand-made pillows can be completely different - it is not necessary to use the traditional white-gray-blue colors for clouds and clouds. For example, the pink color of the pillows, as in the photo below, looks great in the bedroom or on the bed in the nursery.

More restrained colors are suitable for the living room or for children's games.
