In some cases, more details will be required. For example, for an elephant, a belt simulating a trunk should be made. Still need big ears for this pillow toy. Patterns of parts are done by hand. You can not use stuffed material for the ears and sew them into the side seams of the product.
A giraffe will need small triangular ears and horns. And you can also embroider specks on his body and sew a tail from the belt behind.

Usually ears, eyes are sewn to a round product. It is also necessary to make a toy a nose, sew cheeks, embroider a mustache. A hare, for example, is made with long narrow ears.

Some needlewomen prefer knitting over sewing. You can make an exclusive interior item in any way, if there is a pattern of a pillow toy. A photo of crocheted little thought shows how interesting such products can be.
Elephant Pillow
It’s enough to just sew a flat toy. To make an elephant, you need a minimum of skills, and in any case, it will look creative and cute.
For the manufacture of products of this type will require patterns of decorative pillows, toys. The main part is embedded in two copies, and they must be asymmetric. To do this, pieces of fabric are folded with the front sides inward, the outline of the template is transferred with a pencil or small pencil, and two bases are cut at once.
The material should also be stitched from the inside, folding its parts face-to-face. But it is necessary to leave a hole unstitched through which the workpiece can be turned out and filled with a synthetic winterizer or other filler. After stuffing, the hole is sutured and decorative elements are attached to the toy: nose, eyes, tail, mustache.
In our case, the elephant needs big ears. In order to fulfill them, it is necessary to cut four parts at once - two asymmetric ones. Do not put filler in your ears. But the hole in the place of attachment of the ear to the head is still left so that the part can be turned out with the front side. Having tucked the edges of the cut inward, you need to grab it all with a needle, using the “forward needle” seam. After steaming, the part is sewn to the pillow with a blind seam.
You can change the order of work. First make the ears and sew them to the base with the front side. After this, you can already sew the sides of the toy elephant.

- After all the decorative elements of the owl are attached to the front half of the base, the legs are sewn together (be sure to leave holes!), Turned out and lightly stuffed with filler.
