Beautiful soft vase with your own hands
To sew one, take:
- several cuts of various cotton fabric;
- rope or cord;
- needle and thread;
- pins;
- a bowl;
- scissors.
Cut the fabric into strips 3 cm wide. You can make it easier for yourself. Cut it only at the beginning, then tear it off with your hands. Wrap a part of the lace with a cloth, twist it, making two turns, fix it by sewing with a thread and a needle.
When this web is wound, take the second piece. Start it at the end of the first one, also wind it around the lace.
Continue wrapping around the base, twisting around it. For convenience, place the work on an inverted bowl or other suitable container. Split the turns with pins.
Having fixed the row in this way, stitch it with the previous one. Remove the pins, fasten it to the next one.
After completing the work to the end, you just need to cut the lace, tuck the fabric under it, and sew to the previous turn. You have got a beautiful soft vase, moreover, very original. If you want to make another one, see how to do it.
Such a vase for all sorts of little things is made from scraps of fabric and from old denim items. To create it take:
- denim;
- cotton canvas;
- non-woven fabric;
- cardboard;
- sewing accessories;
- rope with a lock.
Cut one equal 15 x 15 cm square out of denim and cotton. The cardboard and non-woven squares will have 14 cm sides. You also need to cut 4 sidewalls, the size of which is 14x7 cm.
Put cardboard on the seamy side of the denim square, and non-woven on it. The photo shows the place where the edges of the jeans are folded with white dots. Before doing this, cut the corners on it.
Bend the side blanks in half, tuck the sides on one side and the other, iron. Sew them to the front of the square.
Stitch the sides to the edge, stepping back 1–1.5 cm. Pass the lace through the hole in the sides, connecting them in this way. By pulling it up, you will be able to disassemble and assemble the soft fabric vase.
Sew a fabric rectangle on the other side of the bottom and your new original piece of furniture is ready.
Teapots sewn from fabric
They will decorate any home. Such utensils can be given, sold, presented to children so that they play with a safe object, arranging puppet tea parties.
Enlarge the pattern on the screen, attach an A4 sheet to it, redraw it.
The pattern will tell you how to sew such a kettle. As you can see, it has five templates. The two circles are the bottom (the larger one with wavy edges) and the teapot lid. You can make the edges not so, but even. For the sidewalls, you need to cut 8 wedges for the outside and the same amount for the inside. Above on the right in the photo is the curved handle of a teapot, below on the same side is its spout. Two such blanks will need to be cut from the fabric.
Here's what it took to reproduce this model:
- plain fabric and variegated, matching color;
- loose non-woven fabric;
- thread and needle;
- cotton lace;
- sewing machine.
Attach the side template to the variegated fabric, cut 8 pieces, leaving a 6 mm seam allowance on all sides. Cut the plain fabric in the same way.
In this example, the blanks for the front part consist of two parts. A braid was put into the seam between them, in this way they grinded the canvas, then they opened it.
Applying the wedges to each other, stitch them on the sewing machine into a single piece.
Connect the wedges for the inside of the kettle in the same way.
Attach the bottom template to the variegated fabric and cut a circle out of it. Fold the inside and outside sides of the teapot right over. Align the bottom of them with the round bottom, sew along the edge.
Turn the sidewalls over your face, insert non-woven fabric between them. Sew on your hands to separate the wedges.
Sewing a kettle with the hands of a craftswoman, that is, with your own, is very exciting. Let's get down to finishing it. To do this, cut 2 ribbons from the fabric, each 5 cm wide. The length depends on the length of the arc of the kettle's neck and bottom.
Cut out two round blanks for the bottom and the lid. You will also need two cardboard circles, slightly smaller than the fabric, so that the edges can be wrapped.
Place some non-woven fabric on the fabric circle of the bottom, and cardboard on it. Sew the bottom on the hands to the bottom of the sidewall. Turn the kettle over, sew the tape to the top of the kettle on your face. Putting a synthetic winterizer here, wrap this tape inward, sew it to the second edge on your hands.
Cut out the spout and handle of the kettle, sew the paired details from the sides. Insert a synthetic winterizer into the resulting hole.
Sew the spout on one side to the teapot and its handle on the other.
For the lid, you also need to cut out a circle of cardboard, slightly smaller than the fabric blanks. Put a synthetic winterizer on the seamy side of the fabric cover, then cardboard. Sew the front cover with the back of the cover, laying along the edge of the tape, which we also fill with padding polyester.
Using the same principle, make a small handle for the lid, sew it into the center.
Such wonderful sewn teapots are obtained as a result of fascinating needlework.
If you want to make a service, then see how to sew such a wonderful cup and saucer.
It is created according to the same principle as the kettle: wedges are cut out of fabric for the front and back sides, the gap between them is filled with padding polyester, between the slices they are stitched on the hands. It remains to stitch a small bottom from below, hem the cup on top and sew a rounded handle to it.
The saucer may have nice wavy edges. It consists of two fabrics of the same size, between them you need to lay a thin rolled synthetic winterizer or non-woven fabric. You can also limit yourself to a circle made of cardboard. The sizes of the wedges for the cup, the template for the saucer, can be found in the following pattern.
Do-it-yourself kettle warmer
Continuing the topic we started, let's see how to sew it. The hot water bottle will help the tea to brew well, will not let the drink cool down for a long time. Let's start with a simple example that even dressmakers with very little experience can master.
Such an interesting little thing will soon appear in your kitchen. Take:
- the cloth;
- non-woven fabric;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- small ribbon;
- pins.
Have you prepared everything you need? Then it's time to start a master class, the kettle warmer should be of such a size that you can easily put on it. Before redrawing or printing the presented template, measure the distance from the edge of the teapot handle to the tip of the spout - this should be the width of your heating pad. Add a little so that she can dress and take off without hindrance. Each side consists of two sheets of fabric, between them there will be a slightly smaller non-woven fabric. Pin the non-woven fabric to the fabric with pins, quilt these 2 layers. To do this, draw oblique lines with a pencil along the ruler. Some of them are parallel, others perpendicular.
Take threads to match the facade fabric, make stitches along the pencil markings.
Also arrange the second part of the front quilted fabric, fold them with the first front sides, sew on the sides.
From another fabric, cut out two blanks for the inner part, sew them together on the sides, and turn them out.
Insert the inner part into the front part so that the seams of these parts are inside. Sew the hem by folding the edges of the fabric inward.
Sewing along the edges of the workpiece for the front and inside, leave 1 cm unstitched at the top in the center. Insert a loop from the braid here, sew the hole on your hands. Having mastered this simple example, you can sew a chicken on the teapot with the pattern attached.
Each side also consists of three layers - two fabric layers, between them there is non-woven fabric. Cut the scallop and beak out of red cloth. Give these details volume, stuff them with non-woven fabric, sew in place.
The wings may not be sewn, but stitched with lace to indicate.
Having coped with this task, move on to a more difficult one. See what a wonderful chicken and chicken you can make.
Here's what you need:
- fabric for a dress measuring 35x100 cm;
- fabric for the lower skirt (quilted synthetic winterizer or insulation);
- 1 m bias inlay;
- 1.5m lace;
- filler (synthetic winterizer, synthetic fluff, holofiber);
- for the eyes, pieces of felt (white or black) or plastic;
- felt or fleece;
- eye shadow, blush or pastel pencils;
- pattern paper;
- silicone gun or fabric glue;
- thread, needle;
- tailor's chalk;
- regular and zigzag scissors;
- tape measure.
Such a teapot heater begins with sewing two skirts, the first one is inner, which keeps heat, the second is decorative. For the first, take a lining insulation or quilted fabric, measuring 30x70 cm. If you do not have either one or the other, then make the canvas yourself. To do this, you will need two rectangles of the same size made of fabric, one made of padding polyester. We put in a padding polyester between the fabric rectangles, we stretch off with transverse strips, the distance between which is 7 cm. There should be 10 of them.
We decorate the side edges and at the bottom with an oblique inlay, in the photo it is pink. We collect the upper side, which is not framed with an oblique inlay, on a thread. In this case, the opposite edges should be fixed with an overlap.
Cut the upper skirt from 35x100 cm fabric. Overlock the edges, hem the bottom of the skirt, sew lace on it. Join the side edges, sew.
From the same fabric, cut out a semicircular pocket measuring 16 by 10 cm, process it on all sides with an overlock. Gather a 40 cm long strip of lace, stitch it to the rounded part of the pocket.
Place the pocket on the front of the skirt, pin it in, then sew it here. Gather the top of the skirt with a strong thread, fix. Place the top of the skirt on its bottom, sew on the belt on the hands.
Here's how to make such a heating pad for a kettle further, you need to cut out the sleeves for the chicken dress with your own hands. To do this, take two rectangles of fabric measuring 15 x 35 cm. Overlock them, fold 2 short sides together, stitch. Slightly above the lace, gather the bottom of the sleeves on the thread with a needle. Stuff the sleeves with padding polyester, sew them in place.
From the base fabric, cut a 15 cm square. Cut the corners to make a circle. Sew along the edge with a basting seam, tighten the thread, but not completely, but so as to fill the resulting part with a padding polyester. You will sew it inside the skirt.
There is very little left for the kettle warmer to be ready, hand-made chicken and chicken patterns will help complete the work.
Re-photograph them.
Where the pattern says "do not sew up", you do not need to grind down the details. Pay attention to how many blanks you need for each item. Cut the chicken out of yellow felt or fleece, cut the chicken's head out of white, the scallop, beard and beak out of red material. Stitch the paired blanks of the wings on the wrong side, process the edges with a zigzag, turn them over to the face. Insert into the sleeves of the dress, sew.
Glue the eyes in place, sew on the beaks of the hen and the chicken. Sew paired details of the comb, beard, fill them with padding polyester, sew on the hands to the heads of the characters.
It remains to add beauty to the chicken, walking over the cheeks with blush. Instead of chicken, you can put tea and coffee bags in her pocket.
Here you have such a wonderful kettle warmer in the form of a chicken. Let's see how to make another interesting piece of fabric to please very young children.
Soft fabric ball for kids
This one is intended for babies under 2 years old. They will be able to touch the ball by its ribs-slices, roll, toss. For needlework, take:
- several pieces of fabric of different colors;
- soft filler;
- a needle;
- saucer;
- threads.
You will also need a sewing machine. Attach the saucer to the pieces of fabric, outline it, cut it out, leaving a seam allowance. If you want the ball to be slightly larger, use a dessert plate for the template.
Sew these circles in pairs, leaving one small pocket on both sides for stuffing them with padding polyester.
In total, you need to create 5-6 such blanks. To avoid unnecessary gathers in place of the seam, cut it in several places with scissors. Fold these blanks so that the pockets for the filler are on the outside, sew them down the center.
Gradually fill each slice with padding polyester, sew up the holes.
One ball is ready. If you want to see how to do the second, check out the workflow.
To do this, take: scraps of fabric; filler; threads; a needle; scissors.
For one ball, you need to cut 8 oval blanks and two round ones, the edges of which bend inward by 6 mm and iron them.
Three balls are created in the photographs at once. Sew all the workpieces one by one on the sides.
To make it easier to sew, pin the pieces of the sidewalls of the ball in pairs, sew them on one side. Then chop off paired elements, sew those.
As a result, you should get a ball like this, which you need to fill through the hole that is not sewn up with a padding polyester. When done, sew it on your hands.
To make the ball neat, stitch on both sides along a round piece of fabric, after which another masterpiece of needlework is ready. See how to make a teapot out of fabric.
In the second video, some interesting ideas have been selected for you. Having familiarized themselves with them, many will also want to create a knitted teapot or fabric heating pad.
