Toys are always very pleasant to make, because they are pleasant to the touch and are made of bright fabric. We offer you several workshops on tailoring monkeys that are relevant for 2016.
How to build a pattern for tailoring a monkey?
If you decide to sew a monkey (no matter which one), but you do not have the necessary pattern, then you can build it yourself.
Standard patterns of a toy monkey consist of the following elements:
- torso;
- head;
- ears;
- long ponytail;
- paws.
Each of the listed parts is drawn on paper one by one. As for the legs, then on the pattern they are indicated by one element or two. It depends on the fact that your toy will have arms and legs of the same shape and length.
The size of the parts can be made arbitrary, they do not have to be proportional. Interesting are toys with long legs.
How to sew a monkey with your own hands: a master class with a detailed description
To create such a bright monkey, choose colorful fabrics, preferably with a different pattern for some parts of the toy. Ideally, choose similar colors. For example, the main part of the monkey is sewn from pink fabric into green peas, and the ears and extreme elements of the legs are made from a green canvas into a pink strip.
Master class on how to sew a monkey (photo of steps is attached):
- Cut a solid piece for the head and stitch its sides together (Figure 1). This seam will be held in our center muzzle.
- Cut the front of the body from the fabric and sew the head to it (Figure 2).
- Cut out the four parts of the ears and sew them in pairs (Figure 3).
- Sew the ears with one side to the front of the head (Figure 4).
- Cut two identical parts for the tail and sew them together, leaving a hole at one end (Figure 5).
- Push the filler with a wooden stick (if there is none, you can use a brush or pencil) (Figure 6).
- Prepare two identical halves of the back of the monkey. To one, line the tail in the middle (Figure 7).
- Lay the second part on top of the first half with the tail and stitch them neatly together (Figure 8).
- Prepare eight identical halves of the “socks” to be swept to each foot of the front and back of the toy (Figure 9).
- Carefully sweep the front and back of the monkey together (Figure 10).
- Stitch the parts together, leaving the two halves at the top of the back unstitched (Figure 11).
- Turn the finished toy skin (Figure 12) out through the hole left.
The final stage of tailoring the monkey
When the frame of the future toy is completely ready, it needs to be packed tightly with filler. Since the monkey is not small in size, it is better to take a synthetic winterizer for this purpose, and not foam rubber or cotton wool. Spread the filling evenly over all areas of the toy with a wooden stick. Knead the toy with your hands so that no lumps or cavities form anywhere (Figure 13).
From white and red shreds make a muzzle and a mouth. Embroider the nose there. Take the buttons and sew the eyes, and below - the prepared muzzle (Figure 14).
Sew a hole with a hidden seam through which the toy is turned out and the filler is pushed (Figure 15).
The toy is ready!
