Decorate pillowcases with plant prints

There is nothing easier than sewing cat pillows with your own hands. Pillows in the house perform several functions: they make the house cozier, decorate it and serve as armrests and headrests. Now you won’t surprise anyone with store-bought ones, but cat pillows sewn with your own hands are quite likely. Sew or knit interesting pillows and stencils to your taste, it’s quite within your power.

It is very pleasant to lie on the couch, relax, soak up with your pet. And when he is not around (someone must hunt), then a beautiful pillow with cat symbols will be a pleasant reminder. Probably the easiest way is to draw a cat on the fabric.

Although, there are other ways to make a bright pillow, for example, deliberately choose a colorful fabric and cut out details from it.

Or choose a material and take it to a workshop that specializes in thermal transfer printing - they will “draw” what you want, and you will also cut out details from this canvas and make something unusual, creative.

Still, it's nice to do something on your own. Stencils are perfect for this type of pillow. Drawing can be done acrylic paints or special, for textiles.

Stencils can also be made independently from scratch, or a complex drawing with some details on thick paper, or you can take a finished drawing. For cutting, it is worth using a clerical knife, carry out the process itself by placing a sheet with a pattern on a wooden cutting board or a sheet of plywood specially designated for this.

To get the desired drawing, you can do without printing it. Just transfer it to paper or tracing paper directly from the monitor.

Fleece

We will need: a small piece of fleece of the desired color, a piece of light beige or milky felt, sewing threads to match the main fabric, holofiber, brown iris (or floss) threads, a fabric marker, needles, pins, scissors, lace, ribbons, buttons, beads to decorate your cat or kitty. Pattern with centimeter scale:

We sew two cats at once, so we have more details in the photo. We fold the fleece in half, transfer the pattern to the fabric, it is very convenient to do this with a disappearing fabric marker.

We sew our details on a sewing machine along the contour, cut out with an allowance of 0.5 cm.

We make an incision on one layer in the area and turn the body inside out. We also cut one layer of the tail in the upper part and turn it inside out.

We stuff the body and tail with holofiber.

We sew up the holes through which the cat and tail were stuffed with matching threads.

We mark it with a disappearing marker, embroider the muzzle with iris or floss threads.

We try on our muzzle on the cat's body, closing the sewn incision, fix it with pins. With a seam over the edge, we sew the muzzle with threads to match the felt.

We try on and sew a tail with a hidden seam so that the cat can lean on it and stand on its own.

That's it, the cat is ready.

It remains to decorate it according to your desire - with bows, braid, flowers, skirts, buttons - with everything your imagination tells you! See how different cats can be:

sleeping cat

A cat in the house can most often be found on a sofa or in an armchair. She loves to sleep. Let's try to sew a decorative pillow with a sleeping cat's face. It looks so much like her.
For work we need:

1. A piece of fabric (color optional).
2. Threads, scissors.
3. Pattern.
4. Disappearing marker for fabric.
5. Interlining.

We select fabric for the future pillow, the choice of which is unlimited. It all depends on what exactly you have on hand at the moment. For living rooms, any kind of fabric is suitable; for a children's room, a pillow can be made from old children's things with a funny pattern.

We transfer the pattern of the main part to the fabric using a disappearing marker.

We cut out the part, while leaving about one centimeter for allowances. Now we transfer the pattern of the main part to the interlining, trace and cut along the contour. We do the same with the second part of the part, we make it from fleece. We make a pattern of legs, tail and ears and cut it out. It is also necessary to duplicate the details.

Using an iron, we glue one part of the main part with interlining. Now we take all the small details: paws, tail and ears, fold them in pairs with the front side. After that, we grind each part on a typewriter along the edge, leaving a small hole for stuffing. We process all the edges of each part with zigzag scissors or we do it with ordinary scissors. After that, we turn it on the front side and stuff it with any filler, and sew the holes with a zigzag stitch.

All the details are ready, which means we need to sew them to the main part. To do this, use pins and fix each detail in the right place. With the help of a disappearing marker, draw a muzzle on the pillow. We turn over and put a fleece piece on top, sew it together, leaving room for filling. Turn right side out, smooth out all seams. The pillow can now be stuffed to the desired density with any stuffing, we sew up the hole. Now we sew the paws, for this we use buttons. We embroider the muzzle with floss threads dark color. The cat pillow is ready, you can decorate it with a bow, heart and other applique if you wish. On such things, a drawing made with acrylic paint looks good enough.

Give your kitty a gift - a sleeping cat pillow. It looks on the sofa - just great, but guests like this one, so it can be a great hand-made gift.

You can decorate the neck with a bow or hang a medallion on it - there will be a cat with decoration. The pillow will look great on your sofa!

Fleece motifs

Fleece is a very soft and pleasant fabric, it is ideal for various needlework. Let's spend detailed master class for the manufacture of a cat pillow from fleece.

• threads, needles, scissors;
• all sorts of decorations, if desired.

We make a pattern, the figure shows a pattern with a scale without certain numbers, decide for yourself what size your pillow should be, and calculate its size.

We transfer the finished pattern to the fabric with a pencil, pen or marker so that we can clearly see the contours. We chop off the fabric, folded with the right side to each other, so that it does not move.

Now we sew on a typewriter or sew with our hands right along the contour, leaving room for the possibility of filling with the insides. When everything is stitched, cut out with scissors in the shape of the parts, but leave a slightly less than one centimeter allowance.

We prepare a small incision in place of the mouth. This should be done if you forgot to leave room in the seam for filling the inside. After stuffing with filler, this incision is sutured.

Having drawn it on a leaf, we transfer it all to the fabric and embroider. Now the finished face is pinned for fitting with needles. And if everything that we got suits us, we sew it on.

Add the tail last.

The simplest cat pillows

The easiest way to make a cat pillow is to use a regular rectangular or square shape pillows and stick an application on it.

You can choose the material and take it to a workshop that specializes in thermal transfer printing - they will “draw” what you want.

In this case, the image of the cat can be absolutely anything. But it will look best if, for example, two cats sit on the pillow. They can be located close to each other - this is how you can make “cats in love”. Or, on the contrary, you can spread the image on different sides of the pillow, turning them back to each other. We get - "offended seals."

The drawing can be done with acrylic paints or special ones for textiles.

Stencils can also be made independently from scratch by drawing only the silhouette of a cat or a complex drawing with some details on thick paper.

It is very easy to make such products:

• you can sew a square or rectangular pillow that matches the shape;
• but you can take a finished product;
• in accordance with the size of the pillow, choose a pattern of two cats - while the color of the animals should be in harmony with the color of the pillow itself and be in contrast with it;
• it is advisable to choose a fabric for textured appliqué - so the image will look more realistic;
• recommendation - in order to cut a stencil out of fleece, you can use a clerical, sharply sharpened knife;
• the appliqué can be glued with a special glue, or it can be sewn on by hand using matching or contrasting threads, but at the same time keep an eye on the accuracy of the stitch being performed;
• if the image includes elements of the muzzle, then cut and attach them in the same way to the pillow.

For cutting, it is worth using a clerical knife, carry out the process itself by placing a sheet with a pattern on a wooden cutting board.
