Textile crafts apple pocket pattern patterns. Fabric apple

Or maybe we can get down to business together? A rag doll will become another character in children's games or a gift for loved ones. Here is a detailed master class with doll patterns and photos.

I was taught to sew when I was very little, and I spent many happy hours making outfits for my dolls. Having mastered the simplest stitches, I began to enjoy the fact that I could create clothes from scraps, and I was proud that my hands had made beautiful things.

As I got older, I started sewing clothes for myself and since then I have constantly used the skills I acquired in childhood. Now my daughters are learning to sew and enjoy it just as much as I once did.

Collect buttons and ribbons and store them in jars and boxes. Don't throw away old clothes. From all this you will then create amazing models. Don't be discouraged if everything doesn't work out right away: with practice, the stitches will become neater and smoother. And remember: when you can see that something was made with your own hands, this gives it special value.

Rag dolls

Add one of these adorable dolls to your toy collection. You'll need to get a large piece of plain fabric: white, nude, or even dark brown (if you want your doll to have a bronze tan). You will also need a one-color hair piece. Otherwise, you can get by with fabrics of any colors that you have on hand.

You will need:

Paper and pencil
Scissors
Felt for torso, arms and legs
Felt of a different color for hair
Pins
Floss and embroidery needle
Fiber filler (or cotton wool)
Felt pieces for eyes and mouth

How to make a pattern
Print out the template, place a sheet of tracing paper on top, through which the outline of the template will be visible. Trace the outline with a pencil and cut out the part. This is the pattern. Before attaching the pattern to the fabric with pins, lay the fabric out on a flat surface so that there are no wrinkles. If the fabric is wrinkled, iron it. Place the pattern close to the edges of the fabric to reduce waste. If you need two identical parts, then fold the fabric in half and then attach the pattern. Cut the pieces as close to the edges of the patterns as possible, then remove the pins and remove the patterns.

Using the templates, cut out patterns for the torso, arms, legs and hair from paper. Set your hair patterns aside. Fold the felt in half for the torso, arms and legs. Pin the patterns onto it so that the long edges of the patterns fall on the fold of the fabric. Cut out two parts each for the torso, arms and legs. Don't forget to take out the pins and remove the patterns.

Pin the two parts of the body together. Thread the floss into an embroidery needle. Make a puncture with a needle on the inside of the body and sew both parts with a hidden seam, but do not sew up the bottom. Secure the thread also on the inside of the body. Don't forget to take out the pins.

Blind seam
Used to join two layers of fabric or to sew up gaps in seams. Secure the thread with a few short stitches or tie it in a knot. Then pierce both layers of fabric with a needle and thread from the bottom up, a few millimeters from the edge, and pull the thread out. Use a needle to grab a few threads on the second layer of fabric, then pass the needle and thread through the first (closest to you) layer of fabric. You will get a stitch. Continue making the same stitches. They should be quite tiny. Do not tighten the thread too much, otherwise the stitches will be visible from the front side.

Take the felt leg piece, fold it in half lengthwise and pin it together. After tying a knot at the end of the floss thread, sew the edges, except the top, with a blind stitch. Take out the pins. Sew the other leg and both arms in the same way.

Fill the torso, arms and legs with the filler, carefully pushing it with a pencil into hard-to-reach places. Don't use too much filler or the seam will crack. Take the filler in small pieces and distribute them inside the parts not very tightly. Leave some space in the upper arms and legs.

Place the legs into the opening of the body and secure them with pins. Tie a knot in the floss thread. Use a running stitch to join the legs to the body while sewing up the opening. Secure the thread with a knot.

Running stitch
This is the simplest of all seams, but not very strong. They can be used to stitch two layers of fabric or embroider. Secure the thread in one of two ways. Pierce the fabric and bring the needle and thread to the right side. Make a short stitch and pull the thread to the wrong side. Thus, make stitches at a small distance from each other. Try to keep the seam even.

Use blind stitches to connect the open edges of the arms to the upper body. Stitch often to make the seam stronger. Secure the thread with a knot.
Using the patterns you made, cut out the hairstyle details from felt. Tie a knot at the end of the thread. Sew the pieces together using blind stitches. Secure the thread with a knot. Place the hairstyle on the doll's head and secure with a few small stitches. Then cut out small circles from felt for the eyes and smile. Sew them to the doll's face, securing the thread with a knot. If desired, you can sew or glue a bow or a beautiful flower to your hairstyle.

Next time we will sew clothes and treats for the dolls.

Hi all!
Today we are sewing apples and tomatoes from fabric.

Sewing is not difficult at all and very fast. It turned out much faster than with felt. Maybe because I trained on felt)))
So let's get started.
Take a fabric that is not very thin. I sewed the apples from thicker Korean cotton, and the tomatoes from American cotton, but some specific one, thinner and with a papery feel to it. So it was easier to sew from Korean, and the fabric lay better and looked better in the product.

1. We take the same pattern that we used to sew

Immediately prepare the cuttings and leaves. I made them from felt (the same as before).

The length of my apple pattern is 11 cm. The size of the finished apple is about 7 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height.

We cut out 6 parts without seam allowances.

On each part, on one side near the top, draw a line - a mark to which we will sew the parts (for me it is at a distance of about 9 mm from the tip of the part). As a result, we will get an apple with a hole in the top (we will do the stuffing through it).

Have you seen my assistant? So green. My daughter graciously allowed her Om-nyam to live on my table. He has a super important mission: not only to monitor everything that is happening, but also to carefully store the spools of thread that I have in my work)))
We put our parts in pairs face to face (the marks should be on one side) and stitch them together on a typewriter. The stitch width is 1.5 mm (standard stitch width is 2 mm). We try to maintain the same allowance along the entire edge of the part (for me it is 4 mm; I use the edge of my foot as a guide; you can make the allowance a little more or a little less, the main thing is that it is the same on all parts).

We start the line from the very tip of the part and sew to the mark on the other side. We make fastenings on both sides.

Iron the seam. I don’t iron it, I just iron the seam itself to relieve tension from the stitching.

Now we put together 2 pairs of already stitched parts, combine the seams on both parts at the top and stitch again in the same way. Attention here! In order for us to get a beautiful bottom part of the apple, we need all the seams on the top to come together at one point. When sewing an apple, inaccuracies in connecting the tops of the parts can be hidden when we embroider the sepals. But when sewing a tomato, you won’t be able to hide anything.
We grind all the details. We get a closed something with an open top on one side (where we had marks, and we did not complete the details). Iron the seams again. Either we cut close to the stitching in the rounded areas, or, as I did, we go through the seam allowances with zigzag scissors.

We stuff it tightly. After stuffing, you can steam the seams through a damp iron.
We embroider sepals on the lower closed part with brown threads.

Now you need to sew up the top. We draw allowances on each of the parts at the top (let me remind you that mine is 4 mm) and carefully sew adjacent parts together using a hidden seam.
Like this:

When all the pieces have been sewn, we insert a stalk and a leaf into the middle and sew it on, while simultaneously completely sewing up the hole in the top. Now we tighten the top of the apple and the bottom (just like we did when sewing an apple from felt). We fix it, cut the thread and admire it)))

Tomato.
We prepare the cuttings immediately. Again, I made it from felt.
I cut out a “star” like in the photo.

I walked along the edges with basting stitches, carefully pulling the thread in different areas to twist the ends. It seems to me that this way the look turned out more finished and natural.
We insert the cutting into the resulting “star” and secure it with threads.

Now let's get down to the vegetable itself. When sewing a tomato, until the top is sewn up, we do everything in the same way as sewing an apple. And we simply pull the top together with a thread. Insert the cutting and sew it on. That's all.

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, will delight your child, because children love to play role-playing games with food, and can also be an excellent decoration for a handbag, cases for gadgets, for a baby stroller and for 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.

9.The finished felt apple can be used for its intended purpose.

Your child will definitely like this original toy. You can also sew a whole “kilogram” of these apples, place them in a basket, decorate them with ribbons and give them to your mother, boss or just a colleague! They will be delighted!

Textile APPLES for memories of summer. Master class from the author Kotova Lyudmyla

Tatyana Bushmanova inspired me to do this work for the nth time (see). I am very, very grateful to Tatyana for her magnificent MKs, thanks to which I had the opportunity to try myself in a new technique.
I really wanted to not just copy someone else’s work (albeit insanely beautiful), but to bring my own notes and my own vision. I'll be honest, it wasn't easy at all. I looked at Tatyana’s work - nothing could be removed and nothing added... I had to do a number of tests to create my own image - a summer meadow with blooming poppies. I really hope that I was able to realize my plans, but doubts still remain... In addition to the apple, I also sewed a pear

These are patterns for an apple and a pear, 4 elements for each product, everything is very approximate, I drew it by hand and did several tests. At first I sewed from ordinary fabric, filled it and looked at where it needed to be sewn in or added, and only then I sewed from stitched fabric that I made according to Tatyana's Mark. But I still corrected some points later. So these patterns are not exact, but as an example I decided to show them anyway.

In progress.

This is how I made "weed". I wound DMC threads of different shades of green around the frame, secured the ends with tape and coated it thoroughly with PVA diluted with a little water. You need very little glue and water, a few drops each. Then I dried it all in the sun and then embroidered grass with it. The threads became hard and held the shape I had in mind well.

And today I want to show my discovery. If anyone remembers the last time I sewed an apple and a pear in the summer version, I wrote that I couldn’t find the exact pattern online and struggled with sewing for a long time. The pear was especially hard for me then (it just didn’t work out), and on the first apple I sewed, my son actually said “what a cool pumpkin”... well, in general, there was a lot of trial and error, I already began to think that I would never return to sewing these harmful failed apples and pears. But that was not the case...about two weeks ago I was surfing the net and looking for something, and a photo of a car steering wheel all wrapped in tape accidentally caught my eye. I was attracted by this strange photo and I went to the site to see why people wrap the steering wheel with tape (well, not because it broke into two halves and they decided to fasten it that way!). And what was my surprise when I read and looked through everything to the end - it turns out that this is how they remove the exact pattern of the steering wheel for covering it with leather. As a person who is absolutely not interested in any type of transport, except for a time machine, of course, all this information was not at all interested in me, but I was impressed by what I saw. At night, as usual, I often don’t sleep, and for some reason I remembered exactly this very trim... and OH, EUREKA!.. after all, in exactly the same way you can remove a pattern from a pear, and from an apple... and from anything from any fruit! In general, my deepest gratitude to all car enthusiasts, especially those, thanks to whose photos and developments I now have a beautiful autumn apple.

So let's get started. First, you should find a beautiful, appetizing apple in your garden (or maybe not in yours) or in the store, but the most important thing is that it has the ideal shape if possible. 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.
This designer fabric is made using the same technology as last time, thanks to Tatyana Bushmanova!

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 bring the thread out from the back side, fastening 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. Regular 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 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.

Carefully 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.
