If you learn how to sew baby pillows with your own hands, original and original, this will allow you not only to decorate your interior, but also to avoid spending money and time on buying them. And with the help of various buttons, lace, bows and other inexpensive means, you can give them exclusivity. In addition, you can please your loved ones by giving them one of your masterpieces.

If you haven't been into needlework before, you can start sewing pillows using simple patterns. In any case, you will be pleased with the result, and you will see what a fascinating process it is. Gradually gaining skill, you can surprise anyone with your works.

Where to start?

To start sewing pillows, you need to prepare everything you need in advance. This will allow you not to be distracted in the process of work. The most important thing is to have pillow patterns in front of you. Based on them, it is already worth choosing fabric, filler and accessories.

Option 1

It is better to choose a wear-resistant fabric. And the color and texture depend only on your taste or interior. The main thing is that pillowcases on pillows can bewas removed and washed.

Filler is better to choose the one that retains elasticity and softness longer. Down or feathers are best. These pillows can last for decades. If you have old feather pillows that you don't use, you can use a feather from them. But you need to be extremely careful not to collect fluff all over the house.

Option 2

If this option does not suit you, we recommend purchasing a sintepukh or holofiber. Sintepuh is polyester fibers rolled into small fluffy balls. And holofiber, in turn, is the same polyester, but already in the form of a thick sheet. These fillers are quite elastic and will definitely serve for 5-7 years.

Option 3

Another type of filler is silicone granules. They are convenient in that they are easy to fall asleep into ready-made pillows through a small hole. In addition, if necessary, they can be easily removed and washed from there, and the pillowcases on the pillows can be washed separately. The main thing is not to wash these granules in the washing machine! Manual only!

Simple baby pillow option

For beginners, we will tell you how easy it is to make baby pillows with your own hands.

Take:

• dense plain fabric (length 64 cm, width 122 cm);
• filler;
• colored fabric, with cars or flowers (length 65 cm, width 145 cm);
• threads;
• scissors;
• measuring tape;
• pins;
• chalk.

Let's start with the bedding

Start from the beginning:

1. To do this, take a plain fabric and fold it in half. The length and width of the breastplate in the final version should be 60 by 60 cm. Everything else goes as a seam allowance. It turns out that the width of the piece of fabric will be 62 cm, and the length will be 64 cm.
2. Sew the sides of the fabric. On one side we leave a hole for the filler. We turn the cap on the front side. We iron well. Stuff the pillow with filler. The amount of filling depends on how thick your pillow is. It is not recommended to make high models for small children.
3. Now carefully sew up the hole.
4. Starting the pillowcase.
5. We will sew it with a valve for easy removal. First, sew the edges. We iron. Then we fold the piece of fabric inside out, so that we get an even square 60 cm by 60 cm, and another piece of 22 cm on the valve should lie on top of one of the sides.
6. Sew the sides of the pillowcase, taking into account the fact that 1.5 cm each is an allowance for the seams, and 2 cm so that the pillow fits easily into the pillowcase.
7. Turn the pillowcase right side out, insert the pillow, fill the valve. All! We got a pillow 60-60 for children.

Important! Before you start sewing baby pillows with your own hands, we recommend washing the fabric. Since the pillow material is natural, it may shrink.

Heart Pillow

Here is another DIY pillow pattern. Take:

• velor fabric;
• felt;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• sintepuh;
• hotmelt;
• acrylic paint;
• thread and needle.

Instruction:

1. We take a soft pink velor fabric. We cut out a cut of 1 m by 50 cm. Fold the cut in half and sew the sides together from the wrong side. Leave one side free.
2. Let's start decorating. To do this, cut out a muzzle of a rabbit, a heart or any other figure from felt. We have this heart. We draw strokes along the edge of the heart with acrylic paint, they imitate a seam with us.
3. When our heart is dry, we use hot glue to glue it to the pillowcase. If you do not have hot glue, you can use Moment Classic glue or threads.
4. Stuff the pillow with filler. Sew neatly the remaining edge.

Now let's talk about how to make original baby pillows with your own hands.

Patchwork Flower Pillow

Almost any of us have pieces of various fabrics at home. It can be old clothes, curtains, etc. All of these things can be put to good use. For example, sew baby pillows with your own hands. You will definitely not find these in the store.

Today we'll show you how to sew a patchwork flower pillow.

For her we need:

• 5 different scraps of fabric;
• yellow cloth;
• synthetic winterizer;
• buttons.

To make petals:

1. Cut out the shreds6 squares. We fold them into triangles with the wrong side up. We sew one side. Then we turn it right side out, fill it with padding polyester and sew it up. We sew all the resulting petals with each other - so that we get an inflorescence.
2. Making the middle. We take a yellow fabric and cut out a circle with a diameter of 60 cm from it.
3. We make stitches along the edge of the fabric, and then tighten it. Stuff with padding polyester and sew up.
4. Insert the middle into the inflorescence and sew together.
5. Next, we take pieces of fabric, preferably green, and cut out leaves 35 by 14 cm in size from them. Cut out the same leaves from foam rubber. Now we sew the leaves from the flaps on one side, then we put the foam rubber inside and sew it on the other side. Do the same for the rest of the leaves. Sew the leaves along the middle with one line.
6. From the same fabric we cut out two circles with a diameter of 24 cm. We sew them from the wrong side, leaving a hole, turn it inside out, insert the foam rubber inside. Sew to the end.
7. Sew the leaves to the flower. From below we sew a round base.

You can also decorate our flower pillow by sewing red buttons along the yellow center.

Pillow doll

And one more kind - this is a handmade baby pillow for newborns. This will be the original hot-water doll. For her you will need:

• ball of thread;
• synthetic winterizer;
• light fabric, children's tights will do;
• weave flesh or pink, you can take a sleeve from a blouse;
• piecethick fabric;
• piece of soft cloth;
• cherry pits (they need to be boiled in advance, with the addition of vinegar, and then calcined in the oven);
• threads;
• needles;
• scissors.

Get Started:

1. Sew a heating doll. The body of our doll should be 24 cm high, 28 cm wide, 33 cm diagonally. Head circumference 22 cm.
2. Cut out a cover from dense fabric, which we will stuff with bones.
3. Sew the edges from the inside, leaving a hole. Turn right side out and fill with cherry pits. Sew up.
4. Make overalls for dolls from soft fabric. But we sew it a little more so that you can easily insert a cover with cherry stones there.
5. Sew inside out and turn inside out through the hole cut in the neck.
6. Cut the overalls from the neck down, a little short of the edge, so that you can put a cover with cherry stones there. To close the overalls, you can sew on a zipper or buttons. We process all edges.
7. All 4 edges of the overalls are filled with padding polyester. You don't need to hit hard. You should get 4 buboes. They must be tied with a thread.
8. Let's get to the head.
9. To do this, take a ball of thread and wrap it with padding polyester.
10. If the head turned out to be the right size, then we tie it at the bottom with a thread.
11. We take a light fabric, better than tights, and put it on the doll's head, tighten it with a thread at the base.
12. Cut off the excess, leaving a smallneck, and sew. To make the face embossed, we tie a thread in the middle of the head.
13. Now we pull a flesh-colored or pink knitted fabric over the head, so that there are no folds. Tie a thread between the head and neck.
14. Cut off the excess and sew up.
15. Now we mark facial features with a washable felt-tip pen. At the same stage, you can cut out and sew the cap. We try it on the head and mark the place on the head where the edge of the cap will be.
16. From the same fabric as the jumpsuit, we sew a triangular cap for the doll. A frill can be sewn along the edge where it will be attached to the head.
17. Embroider the face with threads, hiding the knots in the place where the cap will be put on.
18. Sew the cap to the head, as close as possible to the frill.
19. Blush the doll's cheeks.
20. Next, insert the neck of the doll into the neck and sew.
21. Final stage - insert the cover with bones inside and fasten the buttons.

To make the pillow doll become a heating pad, the cover with bones can be put on the battery or in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and heated. This heating pad can be used for colic in the stomach or simply put in the baby's stroller in winter and go for a walk.

Pillow letter

There are a variety of pillow patterns. Finally, we will tell you how to sew children's pillows with your own hands in the form of letters.

For example, let's take the letter "P". We will need:

• color fabric;
• plain fabric;
• filler;
• thread and needle;
• ruler;
• scissors.

Initially:

Cut out a large letter "P" on paper. Then we transfer it to the fabric. Cut out the letter

Cut out a strip from a plain fabric. We sew this strip from the wrong side to the letter. Sew the second edge of the strip to another letter, leaving a place unsewn through which you will stuff the pillow. With a round hole in the letter "R" will have to tinker. It can be sewn to the second part of the letter through the space left for the filler

Turn inside out

• Stuffing the pillow with filler.
• Sew the remaining edge. The pillow is ready.

On the side of it, you can embroider with the full name of the child

Now such pillows are gaining popularity and many sew them to order.
