This will give them even more charm. In order to start, you need a good pattern of a sheep toy and some fabric. And, of course, the desire to create.

Such different handmade sheep

The process of creating any handmade toy begins with an idea. You can realize the unique, most daring idea that came to mind, or you can use what has long been thought up and put into practice. In any case, a do-it-yourself soft toy sheep, made according to your own patterns or those offered by experienced craftsmen, can be a wonderful gift or decoration for your own home.

You need to figure out what it will be, how many details you need to cut out, clothes, hair, accessories. A do-it-yourself soft toy sheep can be made quite simple. One piece per head, body and legs separately. Or it can be complex and consist of many small details.

Let's analyze two patterns of a sheep toy. One is very simple, sewing it will not be difficult even for those who are not friends with a needle and thread. And the second soft toy is a sheep and the pattern for it is more difficult. Will have to make an effort. This sheep resembles handmade dolls from Tatyana Kone. Bigfoot style. It is cut from several parts: the head, body, paws and ears are sewn separately and then assembled together. A special stage will be sewing an outfit for such a sheep toy. You can choose a pattern for any clothes. It all depends on what image is intended.

Master class on sewing a simple and stylish soft sheep

Let's start. Quite simple, but such a cute soft sheep will look great in a child's bedroom. It is good for a gift to a baby or an older child. Be sure to take its rightful place in the room. To sew this cutie, you can use the pattern below for a soft toy sheep.

What you need for sewing

Let's start making. For sewing, you need to prepare:

• small pieces of fabric, matched by color, and felt for the muzzle;
• filler for softtoys;
• needle, thread and sewing machine;
• scissors;
• a couple of small beads for eyes or black acrylic fabric paint (if you want to draw eyes).

The pattern must be transferred to the fabric with a seam allowance. Cut out the details of the body and head. On the front side, attach the detail of the muzzle, which can be cut out of gray felt, and sew. From above, attach a detail of curls from white felt and sew.

Sew ears and paws. Cut and notch along the edges for better eversion. After they need to be put inside between the front and back halves of the body in the places where they should be, and sew the whole body from the inside out, leaving room for eversion. Then turn inside out, stuff tightly and sew up the turning hole by hand.

The do-it-yourself soft toy sheep is made, it remains to decorate the muzzle. You can cut a small heart out of pink felt and sew it in place of the spout, embroider a mouth with black thread and sew on beads-eyes.

Sheep that stands by itself

The simplest option was indicated above. The second sheep is a whole soft doll. Her paws and a voluminous muzzle, consisting of several parts, move. Below is a pattern of a sheep toy, reminiscent of the dolls of Tatyana Kone, a famous craftswoman.

The process of working on this beauty is quite laborious. Following the steps described above, you can sew the body of a lamb. However, you will have to tinker with your head, as it consists of several small parts. AfterAfter all the details are sewn and turned inside out, they need to be stuffed in a special way. They are filled not so densely, but the legs should be filled more strongly. A weighting agent, small stones or metal plates can be placed at the bottom of each leg so that it can stand confidently on its own. The upper and lower legs can be attached with a special button and thread or thread attachment to the body so that they can move.

Stuffed Toy Outfit

Now the most important stage. You need to dress up a sheep. Here you can dream up. Dress, skirt, jacket and trousers, summer shorts - anything. You can make your own pattern or find it online. The easiest way to dress a beauty is a tulle skirt made of tulle - a gathered strip of a certain width into an accordion and sewn directly to the lamb at the waist. The joint is closed with a satin ribbon and a bow is tied.

Shoes deserve special attention. The toy can be left barefoot, or you can make shoes out of fabric, felt or leather. In order to put on a do-it-yourself sheep toy, different shoe patterns will fit. They also sell ready-made shoes for such dolls, if you wish, you can order them on the Internet and put the toy in stylish sneakers or boots.

You can give a sheep a bouquet made from leftover fabric, a tiny sheep sewn separately according to a simple pattern, or any other item. You can tie a bow on your head, put on a wreath of fabric flowers, or make hair and hairstyle out of thread or felting wool.
