1. Pig-needle bed: master class

Such a piglet can be used as a needle bed, toy or New Year's gift souvenir. You can sew a pig from fleece, felt, thin felt. Also not too thin fabric is suitable. It is this toy that can be made of dense knitwear, including woolen, fine knitting (since there are no unprocessed parts left here).

- a small piece of flexible wire;

- synthetic winterizer or other stuffing;

- sewing machine and thread + needle for hand sewing;

- dark threads and a needle to embroider eyes (you can use eyes for toys, beads, beads, you can draw eyes).

Step 1

Print or transfer patterns to the paper (see diagram). Cut them out of paper. Circle the details on the fabric (1 lower part, 2 side parts, 4 parts of the ears, 1 part of the patch, 1 part of the tail) and cut out, adding small allowances (about 0.5-5.7 cm). If you make a piglet pattern from a fabric that crumbles, add 0.7-1 cm allowances.

Step 2

Bend the legs on the bottom part to the middle of the part face inward and sew each semicircle, as shown in the picture.

Step 3

Sew the tail, folding it in half lengthwise, twist and thread a wire into it (you can first wrap the wire with a synthetic winterizer). Sew side parts to the bottom part only from below.

Step 4

Step 5

Sew the ears (of two parts each), twist. Turn out the toy. Sew in your ears. Fill the toy with a padding polyester and sew a hole in the back. It remains to embroider / draw / glue the eyes and wrap the tail with a hook. At the end, you can steam the toy so that the seams are smoothed out and the packing is more evenly distributed.
