Sew a funny stork - tilde
1. Fold the fabric in half and transfer all the details of the pattern using a pencil or chalk. We cut it out, retreating 0.5-0.7 cm from the line. We use pins to pin all the paired parts except the beak.
2. First we sew the beak to the head. We pin each half so that the parts of the beak are at the same level. Check this by placing both halves of the body next to each other. We sew on a machine.
3. Sew both halves of the body and all other parts, leaving an opening for turning and stuffing (dotted line on the pattern). We make small cuts between the toes on the paws and the feathers on the wings so that when turning, the fabric does not stretch and the part is not deformed. Turn it inside out.
4. We stuff the stork’s body tightly with filler, especially carefully the neck. We stuff the feet and wings loosely. We use a sushi stick for stuffing.
5. Use pins to pin the stork’s body at the seams so that these seams run through the center of the back and front. We sew up the holes on the stork's body with a hidden seam. In the same way we sew up the holes on the wings.
6. We pin the paws in the middle with a pin and then stuff the lower and upper parts. At the wide end of the legs, make a hem and baste.
7. Remove the pin and make a few inconspicuous small stitches - now the legs can bend easily.
8. Using a hidden seam in a circle, we pin the paws to the foot in the place where the hole is located. We sew the finished legs to the body with a hidden seam in a circle.
9. We make feathers on the wings from black felt. We trace the outline of the wing 7 with chalk or a piece of soap and cut out crescents from felt. Using glue, glue them onto the wings.
10. We outline the place for the wings; they should be located symmetrically. We sew the wings with a hidden seam. A few stitches are enough. The wings should not fit tightly to the body.
11. Draw the eyes with black paint on the fabric, dipping the blunt end of a toothpick into it. You can use a marker, embroider the eyes with floss threads, or sew on black beads. Apply blush with a cotton swab.
12. Transfer the cap pattern to the fabric and cut it out. Finish the edge with a zigzag stitch and sew on the lace. Stepping away from inner edge lace 2-3 mm, we make a wide stitch on a machine or by hand.
13. Pull the thread until the right size and sew it with a hidden seam to the stork’s head. We decorate the cap with flowers using glue.
14. Cut out 2 parts of the baby’s body from white fabric and 1 part of the face from flesh-colored fabric. Sew it together. In the place where the face will be, we make a cross-shaped cut, turn it inside out and stuff it with filler.
15. Sew the baby’s face to the body by hand.
Advice
If there is no flesh-colored fabric, you can dye white cotton or linen by dipping it in a strong, hot coffee solution.
16. Make ruffles around the face. We sew the lace with a “back needle” seam, forming folds. We tie a ribbon around the baby desired color. We draw eyes and blush the cheeks.
17. Cut out a rectangle measuring 7x18 cm from thin cotton. Finish all sides with a zigzag stitch and sew lace on the sides. We bend the ends, retreating approximately 0.5-0.6 cm from the edge, and stitch them. Insert a thin white ribbon into the resulting hole.
18. We tie a ribbon on the resulting “envelope” and sew it to the stork’s beak. We put the baby in place.
And a lot of girls asked me to write a MK based on it and send a pattern... she promised... and very well - the thing is that maybe it was this promise that led to the fact that I was invited to a christening and a gift in the form of a Stork - that’s it ....so I urgently sewed another one - easily and joyfully...)))
So... I’m sure that everyone who liked my Stork and wants to sew it will bring only positive emotions and joy to their home... so... take advantage of it!!! This is my gift to you, creators of dolls and toys, on our holiday - Puppeteer's Day...
Well?? Let's begin???)))purrr...
Pattern - on two sheets of A-4
We print, cut out, transfer to fabric... I sew on double thread...
what is double thread and how do I then coloring toys- I wrote to MK. If anyone is interested, take a look.
Well.. I think there will be no problems with sewing..))) we sew the body, tail, crest and baby in one copy, wings, legs and feet - two each... interesting..))) cut out - and then we do this: the package, body and legs - we will turn them inside out - so we cut them out either with serrated scissors or with slits, the rest of the parts are straight, leaving 2 mm of fabric along the edge of the seam.
we turn out the body, legs and bundle for the baby....
we start stuffing the body from the spout... we stuff it tightly, but not too tightly, we stuff it up to the head... and we sew it - either on a machine, or with our hands from the head to the edge of the spout (it’s easier to sew on a machine than from the tip) and we sew it like this so that the lower part of the beak is thinner than the upper. (see photo)...
When the nose is stuffed and stitched, we stuff the head, neck, torso as tight as you can, especially the neck, it will hold the head..)))
In addition to the padding polyester, I added scraps of fabric to the body below for weight, but the stork will sit well anyway due to its wings and legs.
we stitch the bottom of the body from the middle to the edges and bend the corners inward, which turns out just like in the photo. due to this, the body has a base on which the stork will sit.
We begin to stuff the wings - without turning them inside out, a little bit of padding polyester into each feather - through the unstitched hole on the outer part of the wing... the concave part of the wing is the front, the curved part is towards the back.
stuff it very lightly and loosely - this is what it looks like...
We also stuff the ponytail and crest. and sew on a machine over the stuffing - first we sew up the hole, then the pattern we sew with is purely fantasy, imagine something like wings and feathers and sew... there is one nuance - the part that is on sewing machine from above, it seems to be pulled together, so decide which wing is right and which is left and stitch it in a mirror image - then both wings will bend inward towards the body or outward from the body - the main thing is symmetrically.... well.. I hope I explained it clearly... ))) sew the tail, no need for a tuft..)))
Sew it to the body... this is what it looks like...
The tail is directed towards the butt - this is understandable - on the side of the body where there is no nose..)))
Oh... I forgot... first, we turn it inside out, stuff the legs and sew to them the feet that are not turned out and stuffed through the hole..)))
We stuff the feet like those of a chicken or a goose. Tildochka, whoever sews will understand... whoever hasn’t sewed, look for MK, everything is clear there... when we stuff the legs, in the knee area - tight shin - space - knee - stitch the joint at the top and bottom of the knee with thread and then we fill the thigh... due to this we will get such a stork’s leg, with a knee..))
And now let’s do what I call fraying..))) when we cut out the wings, feet, tail, we left about 2 mm of fabric around the stitching and with our fingers, using our fingernails, we fray the fabric, shaggy it, if very long ends of the threads appear, we trim it a little- the edge should look like in the photo. this will give the stork an imitation of plumage..))) oh, bent..)))
Well, we sew it on at the end - the wings to the body - I just sew it through with a harsh thread, without any sophistication, they will still hold on, but they need to spin just enough to hold the baby and not drop it..))
Here he is, naked, ready..))) let's go paint??))) first paint coffee-vanilla-cinnamon-PVA, you paint as you are used to... you can just prime with PVA - as you like and want... this is necessary for an interesting shade, a nice smell and so that white and black acrylic fits better on the surface of the stork. And at this moment it is very important to figure out how and on what wing the stork will hold such a precious cargo and put the wings wet as you need - so that now they take the shape that will then so tenderly embrace the priceless bundle..)))
dry, and paint - first with black paint - I have ordinary construction water-based acrylic for walls and ceilings, you can acrylic paint for fabric, if you have a lot of it...
I paint with a thick, hard brush - it additionally sweeps the edge of the fabric...
This is how I stain the tail, the wings on the edge inside and outside and the crest... when the black paint has dried, I also smear it with white... I paint the body with a semi-dry brush so that the strokes are visible - it also looks like feathers..)
Use red paint with PVA to paint the nose and legs with feet - completely, painting them completely. Well, in fact, here is our PSIS..)))
Well, what next??? Yes, your creativity... draw the eyes, add the outline of the nose and nostrils, tint along the seams. At this stage, I decided that the stork should be varnished - and the entire fabric was covered with acrylic water-based varnish - now it is more resistant to dust and dry cleaning. You don't have to do this, it's up to you...
..we finish the baby - stuff the blanket, sew on a circle of fabric in a lighter tone - the face, decorate with various lace ribbons and give the bundle to the stork in the hands... ugh... in the wings...))) for insurance - we grab the baby with a thread to the wing with one or two sides.
Voila))) if you have any questions, ask, I will answer...purr...
... all the best mood when sewing such an important character for every woman and family...
when reprinting, a link to this MK is required, showing the result of your work is not necessary, it is enough to indicate the author of the idea, but if you show off your birds, I will be very happy and proud...purr...inspiration to everyone!!!
How I sewed a stork
Yesterday I had to stretch my imagination. And it's all the bird's fault. Stork. It was like this: having decided that two identical gifts are boring, and I don’t want to make a second cake out of diapers, I decided to “comb” the Internet on the topic: “How to pack a gift for a newborn in an original way.” And I saw such a wonderful stork - a basket:
It also came with a pattern (though in Spanish):
And then a stupor attacked me... Questions began to pop up in my head one after another: if the head is cut with a beak, why is the beak pattern given separately; what kind of wedge is this near the wing; and this incomprehensible design in the form of circles and part of a rectangle...????
In general, armed with an E-mail translator, I learned that:
- I “identified” the wing, leg, paw and head correctly;
- a separate “beak” is actually a BEAK (I still don’t understand why it is, so I didn’t cut it out);
- an incomprehensible design made of circles and a rectangle turned out to be a CAP (strange pattern, isn’t it?);
- but with the wedge-shaped part everything turned out to be not so simple. It is written on it: "Stork (as well as on the other parts), 1 piece, white fabric." ALL. At first I thought it was like a wedge that is sewn into the heads of some animals, but it doesn’t fit in length... In general, I sewed without this thing, but if one of you can explain to me why it is needed, I will very grateful
An ancient legend says that God gathered all the reptiles from the Garden of Eden into one bag and ordered the man to throw it into the sea with his own hands. And the curious Homo sapiens wanted to look at the creatures, untied the bag, and, of course, let them all go. The Lord became angry and turned this man into a stork so that he would protect other people from all kinds of toads and snakes. Since then, storks always settle near humans, feed on reptiles and bring us happiness.
Many ancient pictures depict a stork with a baby. Among the Slavic peoples, it is generally accepted that this bird is responsible for childbirth and well-being. If storks have settled on the roof, the house will be full of happiness and children's laughter. And if you haven’t settled yet, then a wonderful stork with a baby can be made with your own hands from scrap material and installed on a ridge or on an apple tree in the center of the garden.
Happiness from bottles
Will need
To make a stork from plastic bottles for the garden, we need to prepare the following materials:
- empty bottles;
- thick wide board for the base;
- rod or thick wire for legs;
- a piece of foam plastic 10 cm thick;
- corrugated hose from a vacuum cleaner;
- 2 plastic canisters with a volume of 5 l;
- metal mesh for wings;
- stapler
Master class on making happiness
In order for almost real storks to appear on the paths of your garden, you will only need a few hours of passionate DIY work.
- Cut out a head with a beak from a piece of foam plastic, draw eyes or glue in black beads with your own hands.
- Cut a beak in two parts from a dark bottle and glue it in place.
- We begin the master class on making a body by cutting off the handle in the canister. Then you need to bend the mesh with your own hands to the shape of the canister and trim off the excess.
- To make the legs, bend the rod and secure its ends to the board.
- We are conducting a master class on making plastic feathers.
- Attach the feathers to the canister, starting from the tail.
- The master class on attaching a neck begins with attaching the reinforcement wire. Then a hose is put on it.
- Attach small “feathers” to the neck with tape.
- Secure the feathers to the mesh.
- The stork for our garden will stand with its wings folded, so we simply attach all the feathers with a stapler with our own hands, overlapping each previous row by a third.
- We finish the master class by connecting all the details and decorative tinting of the eyes, beak and legs. You can install this bird with your own hands in the depths of the garden for the whole summer. It will not be damaged by rain and will not fly away.
Tilda stork
Fashionable toys today, hand-sewn from ordinary fabric simple patterns. We will not fully describe the master class on their manufacture.
- Cut out the details of the craft from fabric, sew and stuff with any filling.
- Separately, you need to make a beak (can be made of cardboard) and attach it to the head. All that remains is to make the clothes, glue the eyes, wrap the baby and hand it to the stork.
Of course, such a wet bird cannot be placed on the branches of the garden, but it can decorate a flower pot on the windowsill.
Stork with baby on the nest
Another way to make your home rich and happy is to make a stork on the nest. You can use tilde bird patterns as a basis. Cut feathers from white plastic milk bottles, staple them together and make wings, decorating the ends with real feathers. Place a few white feathers on the top of your head. Form a tail out of real feathers, sew or glue on eyes and a tie, and place the bird in the nest.
It can be made from ordinary rods, fastened with wire. To make a stork with a baby, put any doll in its wings. The master class on making a lucky amulet is over.
Simple happiness
These two rag birds cannot be left on the garden paths, and a master class on making the first stork requires a lot of time and materials. Don’t be upset and just build a nest and cut out a flat bird from PCB or plywood. Color it, put a string bag with a baby in its beak and that’s it, the stork and the baby have already settled on your roof.
Let's take paper pattern and print it in triplicate.
Let's start cutting out all the details of our wonderful goose: body, legs, wings, clothes and hat.
Let's finish preparing for work. All paper parts of the product were cut out.
We take the white fabric that is intended for the body of the goose. Trying our pattern on fabric. We fold the fabric in two layers with the sides facing inward.
We mark the place of the beak with a pencil, since, as you have already noticed, our beak will be of a different color.
Cut out the white fabric along the marked line. Making room for fabric of a different color.
We also fold the piece of fabric for the beak in two layers, facing inward, and mark the place for stitching with the white fabric.
Now we work with each layer of fabric separately, pinning a piece of fabric for the beak to the main white fabric.
Fold the square over and iron it. The result is two layers of fabric, which are folded with the right sides facing inward.
Now let’s take a paper pattern of the body of our goose and place it on the prepared fabric, aligning the beak line on the pattern with the place where we will sew a square from another fabric. Pin the pattern to the fabric.
We outline the pattern with a pencil, in this case two wings and the body of the goose.
We prepared it, traced the outline of the pattern and pinned it again with pins so that the fabric did not move during the stitching process.
We machine stitch along the pencil lines, leaving the space for turning unstitched.
We cut out the details of the goose with small allowances.
We make cuts in the rounded places for easy turning, so that the rounding lines look smooth.
We turn out the prepared parts of our goose through the unstitched places.
This is what the inverted parts of the body and wings of the product look like.
Let's take the filler and start stuffing our goose using a special plastic stick. First the body, then the wings. Using a stick, carefully distributing the padding polyester in remote places.
We filled our goose. Now let's move on to another stage.
We pin the hem of the bottom edge of the goose piece with pins.
We baste the hem using hand stitches.
We pin the goose at the seams, so that these seams run through the center of the back and front of our goose.
Let's prepare the wings. Pins were used to pin together the inversion areas.
Now we sew up that place with thread manually.
Separate the front parts of the wings with a finishing stitch of contrasting thread. At the beginning and at the end, securing the line.
This is how they look when we decorate our wings with stitching.
Now we try on the wings to the place where they are sewn to the body. Pinned it with pins.
We sew the wings to the goose in the designated places.
This is what he looks like with wings and getting ready to take on his paws.
Let's start working with the paws. To do this, take a beak-colored fabric, folded in two layers.
We lay out the paper pattern on our fabric. We attach it with pins.
We trace the outline of the pattern with a pencil. And we pin the fabric again with pins so that the parts do not move when stitching.
Machine stitching. At the same time, leaving two unstitched places at the top and bottom in the upper part of the paws.
We cut out our parts, where you can see the upper and lower edges of the legs are not stitched.
Now the lower part of the legs, namely the membranes, are completely stitched around the perimeter and in order to turn them out, you need to make cross-shaped cuts, as indicated on the paper pattern. Let's re-take the drawing onto the fabric parts.
We stretch the layer of fabric in different directions so that when we make cuts, the bottom layer of fabric is not caught with scissors (as shown in the figure).
This is what our bottom parts of the legs look like after we made the turning cuts.
Be sure to notch the seam allowances along the entire perimeter to carefully turn them onto the face.
We turned out the upper parts and lower parts of the goose's foot.
We begin to fill the parts with padding polyester, first their lower part, distributing the filler evenly.
This way, so that all the remote and pointed places are filled with sinetpon.
Now we work with the upper parts of the paws. We start from the bottom cut and fill it first.
Then we pin the hem with pins, namely the metso, which we will attach to the bottom of the legs.
Sew hand basting stitches, securing the hem at the bottom.
Let's take the lower and upper parts of the legs and attach them to each other in the same way as we see in the figure.
They pinned them down with pins, securing their position tightly.
We sew with hand blind stitches using monofilament so that the seam is not noticeable.
Now we fill the paws completely with padding polyester with a special plastic stick.
We chop off the upper sections of the legs with pins.
Let's secure these cuts with basting hand stitch, so that they can be conveniently inserted into the goose’s body.
We insert our prepared legs into the prepared places of the goose’s body.
We pin the legs and seams of the lower part of the body with pins.
Now we sew up the bottom of the goose’s body using hand-invisible seams, sewing the legs to the designated places.
This is what our undressed goose looks like.
Let's take the red polka dot fabric we prepared for the bib pants. We fold the fabric in two layers.
Lay out the paper pattern onto the fabric. Let's attach it with pins, there is not enough fabric here for another panty. To do this we will take another piece of fabric.
We trace the paper pattern with a pencil and pin it together so that the parts do not move during stitching.
Let's take, as we warned, another piece of fabric for the other panties and do the same. Pin the paper pattern to the fabric and trace along the outline with a pencil.
Cut out the fabric details outlined in pencil.
Here we have two layers of fabric: the details of the panties and the straps and bib for them.
First we sew the straps and bib, leaving room for turning, making fastenings at the beginning and end of the lines.
We carefully turned out our parts. Ironed it. Our parts are ready.
We pin the middle sections of the panties with pins, as shown in the figure.
We apply stitches on two parts along the marked lines.
We laid out these two parts of the panties.
On the front side of the front part of the leg we pin a cut-out applique piece (in this case a heart), from striped fabric. At your discretion, here you can show your imagination and cut out whatever you like.
We machine stitch the applique.
We make a finishing stitch and slowly and carefully draw a heart on our trouser leg.
Now we fold the back and front of the panties face to face. Now we pin them along the side seams.
We machine stitch and iron the seams, as shown in the picture, in different directions. Fold the parts together, pressing the side seams.
We work with the bottom of the panties. We bend and pin the hem of the bottom of the panties.
Iron the bottom and prepare it for finishing.
Take the finishing lace and attach it with pins to the prepared and ironed hem of the bottom of the panties.
We machine stitch along the lace from the front side. This is what the pants look like from the wrong side after stitching the lace to the bottom.
We pin off the remaining inner section of the panties with pins.
Stitching it, making bartacks at the beginning and end of the line.
Turn the pants right side out.
We pin the bib to the front with pins in the center, mark the place of the stitching, and machine stitch it.
We turn the bib and panties in different directions as indicated in the figure and continue pinning the hem of the top of the panties with pins. We bend the cut of the top inside the panties.
We put a finishing machine stitch on the top of the pants, so we have processed both the bottom and the top of the pants.
We put our panties on the goose and take the straps.
So, since the trousers are wide at the waist on our goose, we adjust them to his size. We pin the excess allowances into the folds in the front, and also pin the straps.
We secure the straps at the front with buttons. We sew them on the intended place.
At the back of the straps we fold the straps crosswise and pin them with pins. In the same way, we adjust the pants at the waist, making folds like in the front.
