How to sew an apple from felt. DIY dolls - master class for mother and daughter

Natalya Plakhteeva

Autumn - beautiful time of the year. A rich harvest has ripened. Bright autumn fruits, unfortunately, do not retain their beauty for long. But we really want them to decorate our homes for a longer time and always lift our spirits.

And here imagination, a little free time, as well as the desire to simply enjoy an unusual vision of ordinary objects can come to our aid.

Using fabric you can make a whole collection of fruits. At the same time, they will be as similar to the real ones as possible.

I offer a very simple master class on making fruits from fabric, padding polyester and natural materials

I needed:

Scraps of fabrics of different colors and types (silk, satin, chintz, cambric);

Green fabric;

Twigs of apple and pear trees;

Sintepon.

Preparation method

I cut out a template of an apple and a pear from paper

I attached the template to the fabric and traced its outline. I basted along the intended line and then stitched it on a sewing machine. Removed the basting

I turned the blank inside out and filled it with padding polyester.

I gathered the top edge with a thread and pulled it tight. Fastened the thread

I inserted a needle and thread into the middle of the bottom edge and passed the needle back up, tightening the thread a little. This gave the workpiece the shape of an apple. Fastened the thread

I sewed the leaves to the top of the resulting apple.

In the middle of the upper part of the apple I inserted a stalk - a small branch of an apple tree

You can make a pear in a similar way. Only it is not the upper part that contracts, like an apple, but, on the contrary, the lower part.

Such fruits, made of fabric, can have a variety of purposes. These crafts are good to use in your work with children.

And also such apples and pears self made I can be an original gift for your family, loved ones and friends!

Master class "Flowers from fabric" making roses For work we need - fabric (silk, nylon) - scissors - cardboard for templates - pencil thread.

In order to make a daisy we need - fabric - scissors - cardboard for a template - pencil - threads with a needle - beads, buttons, etc. for.

Painting on fabric involves a huge amount different technologies. I suggest you consider acrylic paints on fabric using Gzhel as an example.

Goal: to introduce colleagues and teach them one of the ways to make dolls from various materials; show the versatility of the doll;.

Preschool age is one of the most critical periods. It is in this age period The foundations of health are being laid.

Felt products are absolutely unique and charming items that can be used in a variety of ways. For example, a felt apple will be an excellent addition to the interior in the living room or kitchen and will delight your child, because children love to play role-playing games with food, and can also be an excellent decoration for a handbag, gadget cases, baby stroller and many other things.
Sewing an apple from felt yourself is not at all difficult. To do this you will need:
Red and green felt.
Threads of matching colors.
Filling for apple (sintepon or holofiber).
Tweezers.
Patterns (as in the photo, the size corresponds to the desired apple size).

Let's start manufacturing.
1.Cut out 5 identical parts of the future apple from red felt using a pattern.

2. Cut out 2 small leaves from green felt (2nd pattern).

3.Sew all five parts of the apple together one by one.

4. As a result, you will get something like a small case, which we will fill.

5. Using tweezers, turn out the case - the base for the apple.

6.Fill it with padding polyester or holofiber.

7.Embroider a pattern similar to a natural leaf pattern on the leaves using green thread.

8. Pull the top of the apple and sew the leaf on top.

DIY apples and pears. Master Class.

Fabric apple

Pattern of an apple, leaf and tail.

Cut it out on fabric.

And with the simplest seam, we sew the needle forward. You can stitch it on a machine, but you won’t get the same texture.

We stuff it with padding polyester.

And we sew up the hole with a hidden seam.

We fasten the thread at the top.

This is what it looks like.

Sew on the tail and leaf.

French apples (master class) / French apples

This apple can be a cute addition to a gift!

Well, for example, on New Year embroider snowflakes on them, hearts for Valentine’s Day, pumpkins for Halloween, but you can even wait for the holidays, but do it just like that, because the apple itself is a symbol of love

Flowers, my favorite autumn oak trees, are embroidered with wool, which lately I have increasingly liked to embroider with wool, and for voluminous embroidery it is generally an irreplaceable thing. Linda 27 fabric was used as the base.

Master class "French apples"

So, for a large apple we cut out 6 petals, height 5 cm (for a small one 3 cm) + 0.5 cm for stitching and glue the allowances with PVA glue so that the fabric does not fray

We embroider the design strictly in the middle of the petal

We sew the petals from the inside with a Back seam (the fewer stitches, the better), when sewing the last two petals we leave 2 cm, turn them on the face, stuff the apple with padding polyester and finally sew with a Blind stitch

For the leaf, cut out a slightly smaller petal and carefully glue it with PVA, give it the desired shape and leave it to dry. Then we embroider the leaf itself with a Back stitch.

For the leg, cut out a square with sides 4 by 4 cm. Fold it in half, and then bend the edges 0.5 cm on each side and iron it, as shown in the pictures.

We roll it along the long side into a tube and sew it together to form a twig:

We collect all the details and the apple is ready!

Textile fruits. How easy it is to make a pattern.

First, you should find a beautiful, appetizing apple in your garden (maybe not in yours) or in a store, but the most important thing is that it has, if possible, perfect shape. Well, if you haven’t found one, then a little crooked will also do. First I wrapped it with cling film, and then with masking tape (regular tape would do, I just didn’t have it). To do this, I cut small strips of tape and carefully smoothed it on all sides of the apple.

When the whole procedure was over (which took 1-2 minutes), I pressed everything well again and stroked it with my palm. I draw a line along the entire apple with a pencil, as if cutting it in half. Then, perpendicular to the previous one, I apply another one, thus dividing the apple into four segments.

Using small nail scissors, I cut along the lines, first in half, and then again in each half.

The most difficult thing is to transfer a rounded print onto a straight sheet... but this can be quickly solved. You should not transfer along the entire length of the segment at once, but in small steps, each time trying to straighten the tape as best as possible.

The pattern is ready. And it is not at all necessary to transfer all four segments one by one; one is enough!

When transferring the pattern onto the fabric, do not forget about the seam allowances. That's the whole problem with the pattern, which was so easily solved.

I sewed all the segments one by one. At the very end I left a small gap, turned it inside out and filled it tightly with padding polyester. Then the same gap should be sewn up with a hidden seam. And also, in order for the apple to have a concave center, two opposite ends should be fastened with a strong thread. That is, with the largest needle that is in the house, we fasten the thread on one side of the apple, in the place where the spine should be, pierce the apple and remove the thread from reverse side, we fix it.

Each apple has a small black “tail” at the bottom. It's very easy to make. I wrap the black thread around two fingers several times. Then I take it off, fold it in half and tie it at the top, as if making a bubo. I cut the threads from the bottom and attach them with hot glue to the center of the apple. Spine and leaves optional. You can, for example, use a simple stick and a leaf made of felt or very starched fabric so that the edges do not fray.

Look how pretty it is. Correct shape, symmetrical. Well, then decorations as desired. I decided that the autumn apple must have rowan.

In the process... it’s a little crooked, the colors are not very well chosen, and in the end I still didn’t really understand the principle of this embroidery, but it is what it is.

I sewed a wire wrapped with floral tape to the leaves on the reverse side (you can do without it). You see the needle in the photo, it’s not because I embroider with a maxi needle, but because the leaves are very tiny.

The wire from the tip of the leaf should be bent so that it does not slip out during work.

I did the same with the pear. limada told me that instead of a pear you can take a little bulbous light bulb, I think it might work out even better.

The pear was a little crooked and not at all symmetrical. I chose the best one from all the blanks, in my opinion, transferred it in the same way as with the apple onto a sheet, folded it in half and cut it out.

I specifically tried to sew a pear and an apple from a very ordinary thin fabric. Everything is neat on all sides, nothing needs to be removed or remade anywhere. I was very pleased with the result.

Felt food. Apple

We will sew a whole apple, a quarter and a slice.

1. Print and cut out the pattern pieces.

For a whole apple, you need to cut out 6 “Outer Part” parts, 1 “Leaf” part, 1 “Stalk” part from felt.
For a quarter you need 1 part “Outside” and 2 parts “Inside”.

And just a note about the size of the parts. I haven’t yet figured out what settings need to be set when creating and saving an image so that when printed, everyone has the same dimensions. Therefore, for comparison, I added a square with a side of 1.1 cm to the pattern sheet. If, when printing the pattern, the side of this square is 1.1 cm, then you will get an apple with a diameter of about 6 cm.
I like this size - not very large, perfect for kids.

Dimensions, of course, are not important here: you can sew an apple larger or smaller, based on your preferences.

Does everyone know how to print a pattern larger or smaller? Or do you need to show it? In the print settings we simply change the scale.

2. Trace the details and cut them out.

3. Let's start with a leaf and a cutting.

We make characteristic teeth along the edge of the leaf: carefully cut the edge at an angle. We draw out the veins with a disappearing marker.

Now, starting from the bottom of the sheet, we “embroider”: we make a basting with small stitches to the top.

When we reach the end, we tighten the thread a little so that the leaf gathers slightly and looks more natural.

Now let's go back. To do this, we make the stitches in reverse: if the thread passed from the top of the sheet, now it should pass from the bottom, etc. This results in a continuous track of stitches, identical on both sides. When we reach the side veins, we fold and embroider them as well

The sheet is ready.

Fold the cutting in half along the long side. Sew across the top using an overlock stitch. If it's not clear, there is a video below that shows how to make this seam. We sewed it to the end of the cutting, secured it, but did not cut the thread (then we will use it to sew the cutting).

4. Let's proceed directly to the details of the apple. Take 2 pieces and put them together. Sew across the top with an overlock stitch.

Sequentially sew the sides of all 6 parts together. We stuff it with holofiber or padding polyester and sew it up.

We make sepals (remnants from the flower) of the resulting ball, while simultaneously sewing up the junction of the parts.

Now we stick the needle in again and pull it out from the opposite side of the apple (where the leaf with the stem will be). It is convenient to do this with a long needle. We stretch the thread and get a depression where we have sepals.

Using a few stitches at the top of the apple, we fix the thread tension. We insert the leaf and stalk about 1 cm deep into the apple and sew it on. First, you can use the brown thread from the cutting, then fix it and cut it. And then finish stitching with the red thread we used to sew together the parts of the apple.

When everything is sewn up beautifully and firmly, we stick the needle in again and pull it out from our sepals. Again we pull the thread so that there is a depression in the handle. Fix the thread well and cut it.

The apple is ready

Now let's start sewing a quarter of an apple.
We sew the outer red part with the inner white parts (this is the middle of the apple). We stuff it with holofiber and sew the 2 internal parts together.

We mark and embroider the “bones”.

And the last thing is apple slices. What if we bake a pie?
Here we don’t sew anything anymore, we just cut and glue.
We cut out the slices according to the pattern from milk felt - 2 pieces per finished slice.

We cut out the peel from felt using a ruler and a roller knife. You need a strip less than 1/8 inch wide (about 2-3 mm).

Now we take a glue gun and glue 2 blank slices together (let the slice be thicker). By the way, felt sticks very well. And it holds up great.
Now we apply glue to the end of the slice and apply the “peel”.

We bring them to mind: trim off the excess peel, trim the edges if necessary. If the peel turns out to be thicker than the slice itself, cut off the excess protruding part of the peel. Cut out the “bones” from the slice.
That's it, we dealt with it

Felt food. Pear

This and subsequent posts will no longer be as detailed as the post about apples. After all, the principles of tailoring do not change. I will dwell only on the key points.

We will sew the whole pear and its parts again.

1. We sew a whole pear using this pattern. Found on the Internet. Unfortunately, I don’t know the author; in any case, thank him very much

With a part length of 12 cm, the finished pear is about 8 cm tall.
We cut out 4 parts and gradually sew them together

The leaf and stalk can be cut out according to the pattern of the leaf and stalk for an apple, or you can use the second pattern - see below.

The pear leaf is smooth along the edge, so we don’t make any jagged edges. We embroider the veins more densely than those of an apple.

We embroider the sepals, pull the bottom of the pear slightly inward to form a depression, sew in a leaf and stalk, and form a depression along the top of the pear. I think it turned out great

2. Parts of a pear: a quarter and a sixth.

If you want to sew a quarter pear, you need to cut out parts No. 1 and No. 3.
If the sixth part is a pear, parts No. 2 and No. 3.

We sew a quarter.

Sew together the outer part of the pear with the inner parts. Be careful here.
We start sewing from the bottom, aligning the marks on the parts of the inner and outer parts.
Like this:

We sew, slowly unfolding the inner part relative to the outer part, combining the cuts.

This will form the curve of the pear.

They sewed, stuffed, embroidered seeds and sepals. You can add a cutting and a leaf. Ready.

We sew the sixth part (it is clear that it is narrower than the quarter) and a pear from parts with Velcro (from 6 parts).
Here I have 2 sewing options:

1) I sewed 3 parts of the pear with Velcro;
2) 3 parts of the pear with Velcro fabric (if you don’t have Velcro fabric, all 6 parts can be sewn with Velcro).

Velcro details.

We cut out parts No. 2 and No. 3 from felt. We seal parts No. 3 with collar tape (I do this so that when disassembling/assembling the pear, the felt does not sag, but holds its shape well).
Please note that parts from dublerin need to be cut out in a mirror image, i.e. Don't forget to turn the pattern over before cutting out the second piece.

Using a hot iron, glue the dublerin to the felt (the inner part of the pear) through an ironing iron. We embroider the bones. We cut out the Velcro and attach it to the pear using a machine. We hide the ends of the threads on the wrong side of the parts.

Velcro fabric parts.
Velcro fabric is special fabric, to which the stiffer side of the Velcro is molded. It has a layer of glue applied to the reverse side.
This is my first time working with Velcro fabric.

We cut out part No. 3 from Velcro fabric with allowances of about 7 mm. Don't forget that the details are also mirrored.
We cut out 4 parts from collar duplerin (I reinforce the velcro fabric with 2 layers of dublerin, since it is thinner and softer than felt).
Glue dublerin to the wrong side of part No. 3. We cut the allowance of the velcro fabric in the places of rounding and wrap the velcro fabric over the dublerin (on the wrong side).

On top, from the wrong side (where the seam allowance is folded), we apply the second piece of duplerin and glue it with an iron through the ironing iron. In this way we simultaneously strengthened the Velcro fabric and hid the raw edge inside.

Once all six parts of the pear are sewn, you can join them together. You can sew a leaf and a stalk to one of the parts, or make a leaf and a stalk separately with Velcro.

The parts of the pear turn out to be larger. And, unfortunately, it doesn’t fit completely. By the way, it somewhat reminds me of quince

I have more ideas for joining these felt fruits/vegetables; Let's see, maybe I'll try them out when preparing the next posts.

3. Lobules.

Some of the slices were sewn similarly to apple slices.

And part of it is this way.
Cut out 1 whole piece of felt and 1 piece without a core. We cut out the core separately from felt of a different color.

By using glue gun We connect the 2 parts of the slice and glue the core.

Glue the peel.

We sew a zigzag stitch on the machine along the junction of the slice and the core.

We hide the ends of the threads in the middle of the part. We embroider the bones. Ready.

It's hard to find a child who doesn't like funny Stuffed Toys in the form of pupae, animals or

fruit. You can easily sew such a felt toy for children or young-at-heart adults yourself. This activity does not require any special skills, but you just need to show your imagination and find quite a bit of free time.

Making a felt toy with your own hands is a fun and useful creative activity. Your creations will always be original and unique. Felt toys are safe for children. They have a pleasant-to-touch structure, colorful colors, and all kids adore them. And most importantly, homemade toys carry the warmth of mother’s hands.

You can sew anything from felt: dolls, animals, birds, cars, and even vegetables and fruits. It is advisable to select for creativity bright colors felt, and use synthetic padding as a filler. You will also need a set of sewing supplies and various decorations. It is important that all prepared materials are natural and safe.

We offer you several simple master classes on sewing felt toys that will help you surprise and delight children with real toy wonders.

We will need: colored felt, filler, two beads, thread, needle and scissors.

Step one: we make patterns for the details of the dog according to the proposed pattern, transfer them to pieces of fabric and cut out all the resulting parts. Next, we sew the legs to both halves of the body.

Step two: sew the spots to the head and the heart to the back of the dog.

Step three: sew both halves of the dog together, leaving a hole at the bottom for stuffing. We fill the toy with padding polyester and sew up the left hole. We sew on the beady eyes, and then embroider the nose and mouth.

Step four: sew ears and a bow to the head.

Step five: in the same way we sew the remaining dogs, the diagrams of which are in front of you. Such a family of small puppies can be hung on a mobile for newborn children, as well as on a crib. And if you use beads or cereals as a filler, the toys will further develop fine motor skills baby.

Felt apple - master class

We will need: dark green, dark brown and green or red (for a red apple) pieces of felt, brown, green or red thread.

Operating procedure:

We make cardboard patterns according to the diagram and cut out 6 apple pieces from green pieces of felt and 1 piece for a leaf from dark green felt. A pattern is not required for the stalk. We simply cut out a small rectangle measuring 1.5 by 2.5 cm from brown felt. We mark the upper part according to the diagram on the apple parts.
We sew all the parts of the apple together using double green thread, leaving a hole of about 5 cm for stuffing. Turn the apple right side out and then stuff it with filling. Sew up the edges by making a large knot in the middle of the top of the apple, wrapping the thread 5 or 6 times around the needle.
We pass a needle and thread through the center of the fruit and lightly tighten the lower and upper parts. This will give the apple a more realistic shape. We pass the needle back through the middle and secure the thread well.
We roll up the brown stalk and sew it along its length. We embroider veins on the leaf with green thread.
We wrap the leaf around the stalk and sew them together at the base. Sew the leaf to the apple. You can sew other fruits and vegetables in the same order.

Charming felt cat - master class

We will need: bright pieces of felt, filler, two beads, small bows and bright threads.

Operating procedure:

We draw the cat according to the indicated diagram, make a pattern of the toy and cut out two parts of the cat.
We design the cat's face. We cut out the eyes and nose from felt. Attach beads to the center of the eye. We embroider the eyelashes and mouth on the face with thread.
We sew both parts of the cat with a loop stitch, leaving a hole for stuffing, and fill it with padding polyester. Finally, we sew bows to the toy. These cute cats in bright colors can be sewn in any quantity and hung on a mobile for newborn children.

Felt dog with a flower - master class

We will need: beige felt, two beads, a button for a flower, a ribbon.

Operating procedure:

We draw a pattern according to the diagram, transfer it to felt and cut out 2 parts of the dog’s body, 2 parts of the lower part of the body and 1 insert for the head.
We sew the parts of the toy together using a loop stitch, not forgetting to leave a hole for the padding polyester. We stuff the toy with it, sew on the eyes and decorate the dog with a ribbon and a flower. We cut out the flower from felt, and sew a button to it as decoration.

Fruits and vegetables from felt - master class and diagrams

Operating procedure:

Using the patterns we have proposed, you can sew a whole set of vegetables and fruits that will delight your children.
We make toys in the same order as we sewed the cat and the dog. We copy the patterns from the diagrams. It's okay if they are slightly different from the original. But your toys will be unique.

I haven’t shown fabric crafts for a long time, today I’ll tell you and in the master class I’ll show you the correct pattern on how to sew an apple from fabric with your own hands. The homemade product is quite complex and requires some sewing skills. You can decorate any room with it or give it to your child as a toy.

For the fabric apple we need:

— Velvet (velor), base for crafts;
— Artificial velvet;
— Gabardine fabric for sheet;
- Scissors;
— Twisted cord, approximately 7 centimeters;
— Sintepon, padding polyester, holofiber, any filler;
— Extended needle;
— Sewing machine;
— Glue gun;
— Pins;
- Threads.

First you need to make the right pattern. Let's draw two such details on paper. On the edge where it says “fold”, we make a fold so that when the part is cut out, it will be mirrored.

These are the cut fabric pieces we will need.

On velvet, which is artificial, we create many deep cuts.

We make lines along the edges, on the apple itself, and also on the leaf. We don’t sew up 1 centimeter on the sheet; we put the filler through this hole.

We cut off the tip of the sheet, turn it inside out, and fill it just a little with synthetic padding.

We turn the apple blank inside out, fill it, then use a regular seam to make bastings. At the same time, retreating 1 centimeter.

Gently pull the apple and hide the edges inside.

We thread a needle and thread from the side of the stamen, pull it out at the other end, and so on several times. Thus, this will give shape and stretch the end of the apple with a thread of resentment.
