Felt makes excellent soft toys because... This is a very pliable and pleasant to the touch material; when cutting, its edges do not fray, and the choice of colors is quite wide. For example, you can make a cute cat out of felt as a gift, or use it as a keychain for a woman’s handbag or a bunch of keys. And if you increase the size of the pattern, you can sew a decorative pillow in the shape of a cat for a nursery or living room.

Cute cat

To work you will need:

Orange felt (medium density);
Paper pattern;
Threads to match the base material;
Sintepon, cotton wool or synthetic padding for stuffing the product;
Scissors;
Finished nose and eyes;
Glue "Dragon".

Work process

We cut out a cat pattern from thick white paper, having first drawn a drawing with a pencil.

We lay out a sheet of felt on a flat table surface, apply the pattern, and trace the contours of the part. We put the same pattern next to it, only in a mirror image, and outline it.

Using scissors, carefully cut out both parts of the future toy.

We fold the two parts face inward, sew them together along the edge with a backstitch with a needle, retreating from the edge of the fabric at least 3 mm. You can also use a standard machine seam. Or sew the toy manually from the front side with threads of a contrasting color, using a loop stitch. The last option will be an additional element of finishing the product.

When sewing the parts from the inside out, we leave a small section unsewn so that through it you can turn the product inside out and stuff the toy with soft filling. If you can’t turn out small parts with your hands (legs or tail), we help ourselves with the back of a ballpoint pen or pencil.

If there are no ready-made toy eyes and nose, at this stage they can be sewn to the face, having previously been cut out from scraps of black and white material.

To give the product volume and softness, we fill it with any filler (sintepon, padding polyester, scraps of soft fabric, cotton wool). We distribute the filler evenly throughout the toy, helping with the back of a pen or pencil. We pay special attention to the tail and legs so that they do not remain empty inside. But you also don’t need to stuff it too tightly, because... The seams may not hold up and come apart in places, and such a product cannot be called soft.

After filling, sew up the missing section of the contour with a hidden seam or on the outside with neat small stitches. We glue ready-made eyes with a nose to the stuffed toy, having previously adjusted their location on the cat’s face.

You can decorate such a toy in different ways: glue a nameplate, attach a bow near the ear or a butterfly on the neck.

Cheerful cat-fey

This toy will cause a lot of positive emotions and will quickly lift your spirits. It’s not at all difficult to make, you just need to have some material on hand with a good mood to boot.

To work you will need:

1.5 m of gray thin felt;
A piece of knitted fabric in gray tones for the legs and belly;
A piece of black and white leather;
Red ribbon for scarf;
Hollow fiber for stuffing;
2 eyes;
Threads with a needle;
Scissors;
Sewing machine;
Paper pattern with a design.

Work process

On a sheet of white paper we draw a cat figurine, marking the areas with knitted inserts. Carefully cut out the cat along the contour with scissors, cutting out areas with knitwear (3 legs and tummy).

We place the pattern on a sheet of gray felt, trace it along the contour, not forgetting to mark the holes for the inserts. Cut out the cat and holes for knitted inserts. If the head does not fit on a standard sheet of felt, then it can be cut out separately and then sewn to the body with a connecting seam.

We also cut out the back - the back part of the toy, only without holes, in a mirror image.

You can use any old sweater or golf shirt of a suitable color as knitted inserts. If you don’t find such a thing, then small parts can be knitted separately by hand from gray and white yarn with knitting needles or crochet. The size of the knitted parts should be slightly larger than the holes provided for them so that they can be sewn in neatly. It’s better to cut off the excess after sewing.

From white leather (you can use any other material) we cut out two circles for the eyes. Cut out a nose from black material. We glue the resulting parts, and for reliability we additionally sew them with black thread. We randomly embroider a mouth with a mustache using a stem stitch, making preliminary markings with chalk or a pencil. We also glue or sew a piece of white material onto the tip of the tail.

Now we pin the knitted piece of fabric to the hole on the stomach, and sew it on the machine with threads of a contrasting color (in our case, red threads). We perform the same operation with the pads of the three paws. We cut off all excess knitwear with scissors, stepping back 0.5 cm from the edge. We embroider three claws on each foot with black thread. This completes the work on the front part of the toy.

Now we place the upper part of the toy on top of the lower one. For convenience, we chop off the parts in several places with pins.

We begin to sew along the contour using a sewing machine with gray threads, making a seam allowance of 0.5 cm from the edge. Gradually, when grinding the parts, we fill the toy with holofiber or other filler, filling it not very tightly.

Having completely sewn the parts together, we tie the threads in a knot and hide the ends in the fabric. If there are any unevenness along the contour, carefully align them by cutting them off with sharp scissors. The cat is almost ready, all that remains is to glue the toy eyes and tie a scarf around his neck.

These toy cats can be made by the whole family; children will especially enjoy the work. Kids can be tasked with cutting and gluing parts. Older children can embroider themselves or sew parts together under the strict guidance of their parents. Moreover, all the presented patterns are quite simple, and the toys are easy to make. Working with your hands will bring you and your children a lot of pleasure, and felt cats will always please the eye. Good mood and creative success to everyone!

These cute, furry animals are among the most popular pets in the home. There is probably no person who does not love a kitten. Both an adult and a child would be delighted to receive a gift in the form of an animal. You can make beautiful pincushions, neat pillows, and coasters with cats yourself. You can make a thing in the shape of a pet in different parameters and from textile materials.

It will not just be a beautiful product, but also an interesting piece of interior decor or something practical to use.

As for patterns, you can find them on the Internet or draw a blank yourself, taking into account the imagination and dimensions of the future product.

Pillow models and options

A novice craftswoman can easily cope with the task and sew an interesting decorative cat with her own hands.

For this you will need:

Sew by hand if the toy is small. You can use a sewing machine if you have no experience in such work. Then the seams will be even and the product will turn out neat.

When you don’t have specific skills in creating toys, you can use simple patterns consisting of two parts. This will be enough for a beginning craftswoman to gain the necessary experience in stitching and correct, uniform filling of the product.

This toy consists of two parts. First, the pattern needs to be cut out of paper and transferred to fabric using a chalk or felt-tip pen. Then cut out two parts. On one of them attach eyes (they can be drawn later or sewn on blanks in the form of beads or buttons) and a nose, the mustache can be highlighted with white threads.

Sew the parts together, but not entirely, leaving space so that you can turn the workpiece inside out and fill the toy with holofiber. In order for the future pillow to be soft, you need to give a little filler, but distribute it evenly throughout the entire part. Then sew up the filling area with a secret stitch. The toy is ready.

This option is considered simple; you can also make pillows from several parts. H The more elements we eat, the more interesting the product will be.

This option also uses felt of different colors - for the details of the eyes, nose and belly. You can sew a tail on the cat, then the pillow will also be a decoration for the sofa.

To make the sewn pillow comfortable to use, it is recommended to cut it into an oval shape.

Patterns of cats and cats from fabric

An interesting option for decorating a sofa could be a sewn sweet couple: a cat and a cat. If you make large toys, it will be a full-fledged pillow. If the parameters are small, you will get a beautiful souvenir or gift for Valentine's Day.

Of course, you can look for patterns on the Internet, but it’s also easy to draw a blank yourself.

You can make beautiful eyes and noses for animals, sew on antennae or paint them using acrylic flowers. Craftswomen do this part before starting to sew the parts together, so it turns out neater and more beautiful. But you can simply use a glue gun and attach all the parts of the muzzle with silicone. This option is considered fast.

Ready-made patterns of soft cat toys can be found on the Internet and simply printed for further work..

Sleeping cat

An easy toy to make. It is easy to cut and sew using the material of your choice. If you choose felt or fleece, the cat will be dense and will keep its shape well. If the fabric is softer, then the pillow will be comfortable to use.

First you need to print the pattern.

The resulting toy can be used as a decorative element or as a beautiful pillow. Some needlewomen decorate the primitive style with fabric elements or additional accessories.

Cat using the Tilda technique

Everyone loved this technique for its ease of execution, airy details and beauty. A needlewoman without any special skills can sew an original toy. It all depends on the chosen pattern. Elements must be transferred onto the fabric carefully and accurately so that the details are smooth and neat. The result will be an airy and stylish thing.

To make it you need:

First, the parts are cut out, then sewn together along the wrong side, taking into account the seam allowance. Then, using a stick, you need to turn the fabric outward and fill the insides of the toy with filler - tightly enough so that the product holds a beautiful shape.

Attach the tail to the filling area and sew with a hidden seam. Decorate the face and add a light dress.

A charming cat made of felt will not leave anyone indifferent. You can make such a cute souvenir for Valentine's Day with your own hands. To create such toys from felt yourself, you do not need a sewing machine - the parts are sewn by hand. All you need is a few materials and careful work. We offer a detailed master class on making a toy cat from felt with your own hands with a photo and pattern.

So, to make a felt cat we will need:

Master class “Cat with a handbag - do-it-yourself felt toy”

1) Pattern for a toy: The pattern can be copied directly from the computer screen: attach a sheet of paper and draw a translucent outline with a soft pencil (the size of the picture is pre-adjusted in the word program).

2) To sew one cat, you need to cut out the parts in the following quantities:

body - 2 pcs.
big heart - 2 pcs.
handbag - 2 pcs.
ear inserts - 2 pcs.
belly - 1 pc.
muzzle - 1 pc.
small heart - 1 pc.
ponytail - 1 pc.

3) Place the parts of the body next to each other and sew them together with a buttonhole stitch. We leave an unstitched area of 3-4 cm under the foot to fill the toy with padding polyester. It is advisable not to break the thread; after stuffing, we use it to sew the cat up to the end.

4) We push small pieces of padding polyester using the tips of scissors, first into the ears, head, paws and, finally, fill the tummy with stuffing.

5) Sew up the hole under the foot and break the thread.

6) Drop a drop of glue onto the muzzle and glue a red rhinestone - this will be the nose.

7) Then, using black thread, folded in half, we embroider the antennae and separate the cheeks with a stitch under the nose. All knots should remain on the wrong side.

8) Lubricate the back side of the pink parts with super glue and glue them to the body of the animal.

9) Glue plastic eyes onto glue (they can be replaced with black beads).

10) We select threads to match the felt from which we will sew the handbag. We sew the parts together in the same way as the animal - with a buttonhole stitch. We don’t break the thread at the end, we pass it through the cat’s head and fasten the knot on the other side of the bag.

11) We sew the heart together with red threads, fill it with small pieces of pre-loose padding polyester and sew it up to the end. Place the resulting heart in your purse.

12) To make the cat more elegant, decorate the ear and tail with bows. We select a ribbon to match the handbag and cut 2 pieces of 6 cm each, burning the ends. We fold the ribbon so that the ends overlap each other by a few millimeters, sew the middle with a regular basting stitch and tighten it. The result was a simple bow. It can be sewn or glued to the ear.

Felt cats are cute creatures that will decorate any home. It is unlikely that anyone will argue with this. Everyone loves kittens, so decorative items featuring them will be great gifts for your loved ones.

We offer you a pattern with cats, with which you can create unique and very original accessories with your own hands. These soft toys look cute and very funny.

In the photographs you will find some interesting ideas for using cat patterns. You can enlarge or reduce the stencil to the desired size and transfer the image to any material.

Then everything is in your hands. Feel free to make a soft toy from a pattern (stuff it with padding polyester - it will turn out great!), decorate household and kitchen utensils with felt kittens, make felt brooches, and make appliques on children's things. In a word, wherever you want to see cats, put them there!

We live in a time when it is already difficult to surprise a child with a toy gift. There are now a great variety of toys, for every taste, color and budget. Only a toy made with your own hands has always been much more valuable. The process of creating a cat from felt with patterns is so easy that some of its manufacturing steps can be entrusted to a child.

Using this master class with step-by-step photos as an example, we will learn how to make a cat out of felt. This material is so dense and holds its shape well that it makes a great toy. And how pleasant it is to the touch! Surely your child will want to take this toy with him to bed. By varying the size of the craft, you can make a small keychain, a toy, or even a large sofa cushion.

In order to sew a cat from felt, we will need:

felt (three colors: gray, red and brown);
matching threads with a needle;
filler for toys (sintepon, cotton wool, foam rubber);
buttons or beads, as well as satin ribbon for decoration;
thick paper or cardboard for patterns;
marker or pencil;
scissors;
pins;
glue.

First you need to choose felt. It is advisable to select medium-density felt; such felt is perfect for sewing (it is dense and at the same time soft). The color scheme can be selected at your discretion, thereby creating a unique masterpiece.

Once you have decided on the choice of felt, you can begin choosing the filler. The filler determines how the product will keep its shape, as well as how it can be cleaned in the future. The synthetic padding is perfect for machine washing; it washes well and dries quickly without deforming. The amount of filler also affects the appearance of the toy, a large amount will make the toy bulky, and with a small amount of filler you will get a pillow toy that you can lie on. Threads also play an important role, since the seam when sewing will be superficial, it is very important to select the color of the threads tone on tone. When sewing an internal seam, the color of the threads is not important.

Making a pattern

Now let's start making the craft. To do this, you need to draw a cat pattern on thick paper. Draw a cat to your liking and in the size that you need.

You need to draw the details of the pattern on paper folded in half, this will turn out symmetrically, and subsequently the toy will turn out even.

The pattern can also be downloaded from the Internet and printed on a printer. Then you need to glue the printed pattern onto cardboard or thick paper and only after that start drawing it with chalk on felt. Each detail of the pattern must be cut out after drawing.

Then you need to spread the felt on a flat surface and pin the pattern to it using pins. We will need three colors of felt: gray (main), red (for the nose and decoration), brown (for the mustache). Using chalk, outline each pattern piece and cut out along the outline. In total, you should get a couple of parts for the body, head and tail, as well as one part for the nose and heart, and four parts for the ears. From brown felt, cut strips for the mustache in random order.

Elegant cat

We start sewing the cat from the head. We take the front part and sew the eyes, whiskers and nose of the cat onto it. Eyes can be made from buttons or beads, you can also form them from felt or buy ready-made eyes - accessories in a specialized store. The ends of the mustache can be sewn first and then carefully glued with special glue. We do not sew the nose completely, leaving a small hole for the filler. After the nose is filled with filler, it can be stitched completely.

Sew two ear pieces. They do not require filler.

Sew buttons onto the cat's tummy for decoration. Buttons can be chosen in any texture; they can also be replaced with beads or small bows.

Sew both parts of the body, leaving a small hole for the filling. Fill the cat's body with padding polyester or other filler and sew up the hole.

We do the same with the head as with the body (first we sew it together and then fill it with filler). All seams are done at the top. We sew the finished head to the body.
