"Heart cats"
A very simple pattern of lovebird cats is basically heart-shaped. It allows you to create an integral toy that does not understand several components.
The pattern for such a craft looks like this.
Here are 4 details:
- 1 - the heads of two cats;
- 2 and 3 - bodies of two seals;
- 4 - pattern of ears.
On the front side, the toy is colored, but the wrong side is best made monophonic, it will combine two cats into one. For work, you need a fabric of three different colors. A heart-shaped part is best taken in plain color. The bodies of the seals should be different in color, each body needs to be cut in a pair of the same color of the ears and the tail, for each of which a strip of 3 x 15 cm is needed. The wrong side of the toy can be made out of the same fabric as the heart part for faces. So, we get:
- plain: two parts - a heart and a back;
- color: a little body, 4 details on ears and a tail on each seal.
All details must be cut out with 5 mm allowances for the seams. The ears are stitched in pairs, the corners are cut as close to the line as possible. Ready ears are turned on the front side, the seams are straightened.
Ponytails are sewn from both sides, the sewn corners are cut close to the stitch, with a pencil or knitting needle, the details are turned on the front side, the seams are straightened. A piece of wire is inserted into each tail, which is twisted into small rings on both sides. The wire should protrude slightly from the side of the non-sewn edge.
The front of the toy is assembled from three parts. All seams must be cut at a distance of 3-4 mm so that there are no creases at the seams on the front side. The front part and back are folded with the front sides inward, ears and tails are put into them. The part is stitched along the contour except for a small area through which the toy needs to be turned out and stuffed with padding polyester. Sew the hole with a blind stitch. Make faces. Ponytails of cats to bend so that it turns out a heart. You can decorate a toy like this: for example, sew a ribbon from two strips of colored fabrics and tie it around the neck of the toy. Heart cats look like this.
Hug tight!

Pattern "Cats-hugs" implies paws, ties, which will be connected two parts of one whole. For them, you need to cut out strips of fabric with a width of at least 6-7 centimeters, and a length sufficient to tie two toys with the resulting ties and tie a bow or knot, so the length of the ties will depend on the size of the seals.
Using the same pattern, two details can be additionally made - a half of a heart and a tail. They are attached using the application method. But you can not cut these parts, but embroider them with a simple seam already on the finished toy.

Tail by tail!
Interior or souvenir toys are popular, for example, lovebirds. The master class, patterns and recommendations you will find below.
Souvenir patterns are selected for the material. Since the toy consists of two parts, it is best to take similar fabrics. Textile toys love natural materials - cotton, linen, knitwear. But synthetic fabrics should not be ignored - fleece and felt are suitable materials for creating decorative elements. A simple pattern of lovebird cats, holding each other's tails, involves the use of two patterned similar fabrics.
The pattern for creating these seals is this.
Toys are made of two parts and sewn along the contour. Only a small section at the bottom side should be left unstitched to turn and stuff the toy. A little secret: you can fill the tail with filler with a pencil or thin medical tweezers. Push the sintepu carefully so as not to damage the fabric.
Soaring in the sky
Toys in the tilde style look very interesting. Lovebird cats, the pattern of which will be proposed below, can be either an independent toy or make up a composition.

These toys consist of several parts. Each needs to be cut out, not forgetting about allowances for seams, sew and fill with filler. The parts are connected together using buttons. Below you see the pattern of a soaring cat using the tilde technique.

Art of sewing toys
Sewing is easy! The main thing is to become interested in the result and use the correct patterns, in which all parts of the whole are ideally suited to each other. To sew lovebird cats, you should use all the techniques that are necessary when working with a textile toy:
- fabrics are best chosen natural, high-quality, fairly dense;
- a composition of several parts looks more harmonious if the colors and textures of the fabrics are similar;
- Before turning the stitched part to the front side, the increase in the seams should be cut. This is especially important to do at all bends and corners of the pattern. Corners should be cut as close to the line as possible. This is all done so that the seams on the front side do not break, forming ugly wrinkles;
- Stitch the parts together with very small, inconspicuous stitches.
