Children's decorative pillows with their own hands to sew is not very difficult. The main thing is not to get confused in the variety of types of design, to choose the invoice correctly, the color range, the dimensions, the theme of the drawing. Consider the most popular types of children's decorative pillows and advise how to sew them yourself. When sewing children's pillows, it is not necessary to take into account the color combinations of the interior, to follow the design fashion and follow the rules of feng shui on the points. On the contrary - more courage, brighter than imagination, down with stereotypes!
We sew the most simple child pillow
- We take two pieces of fabric 40x40 cm that you like on the outer part of the pillow and a simpler fabric (for example, coarse calico) 2 to 40 x 40 cm on the lining.
- To the underside of the main fabric, we attach the lining fabric and work the edge with a stitch or overlock.
- On the outside of the main fabric we fix interesting decorative elements, we can use textile glue.
- A dense zigzag process the edges of decorative elements.
- Finished pieces of fabric fold the front side to each other and stitch, leave not sewn about 15 cm for stuffing filler.
- Pillow we turn inside out through the hole left, straighten the corners and fill it to the desired density. Material for children's pillows can be as modern materials (expanded polystyrene beads, foam rubber, sintepuh, holofayber) and eco-friendly natural fillers (cotton rags, straws, cereals, etc.).
- Pillows filled with polystyrene shrink with time and rustle. If you decide to fill the children's decorative pillow with styrofoam balls, make sure to sew the lock. In this case, after shrinkage of the filler, it can be replaced without any problems or a new one can be added.
- Finally, sew the remaining hole with a hidden seam . Baby pillow ready!
Children's decorative pillows with embroidery
- For example, we want to sew a pillow measuring 40x40 cm. Naturally, the sizes should be selected individually, but observe the given proportions. Fabrics for a pillow with embroidery are better to choose rather dense.
- It is better to cut pieces with a stock - 43x43 cm. We cut them out and make embroidery. The technique of embroidery with their own hands is the most diverse: decorative seams, smoothness, cross, etc. A set of pillows with the same geometric pattern, but with different color combinations, will successfully fit into the children's room. Beautifully sewn appliques, usually the pictures on the pillowcase are sewn on decorative seams. Very original embroidery made with yarn for knitting.
- Having coped with the embroidery, we place tags in the middle of each side. We fold the two sections face-to-face, while combining the marks. Then it is necessary to sew with a width of a seam of 15 mm and sweep the sections.
- Leave 15 sides on any side of centimeters. It is necessary to cut the seam allowances in the corners.
- Pull out the cushion blank and fill it to the desired volume and density (silicone and holofayber perfectly keep the shape). At the end of the hole, sew a secret seam or sew a secret zipper.
Original ideas
Insanely interesting are children's pillows in the form of books with leafing through pages. Each page is a cloth-sheathed sheet of sintepon. In the cover for density you can use the canvas. All pages are stitched like a binding. Such a cushion can be sewed together with children - the technology is very simple.
Children really like fluffy decorative cushions with a fringe of yarn. They do the same as the famous grandmothers shaggy rugs. The technology itself is not complicated, but it requires special equipment. You can do with needles, using the technology of imitation fur. In this case, the cushion instead of the cut ends will be elongated loops.
It is not difficult to make your own hands with decorative pads with three-dimensional colors. To make them, you will need a pillowcase and a thick felt sheet. If the felt is not at hand, use any dense cloth or even other natural materials.
