The size of the allowance depends on the volume of the components of the created toy. The goat pattern may be delayed for the next toy.
We sew a head
Before collecting the goat, sew on the place where there will be a muzzle, eyes, highlight the mouth, nose, eyebrows and eyelashes. Then sew the parts of the ears, folding the parts with the wrong sides. Along the seam, make notches with scissors so that there are no ugly assemblies on the outside. Next, turn your ears to the outside. Sutures need to be straightened from the inside with a narrow needle or pencil. Connect the external sections with each other and attach the ears with tailor pins to the top of the head with the face, sew along the edge, then turn the part of the head to the outside and smooth the seams. Often the pattern of a goat toy at this stage involves moderate filling of the head with syntepon to the base of the neck. An open cut is sutured.
Torso and legs
Align the parts of the body with the wrong sides facing out and sew together. Leave a hole so that you can easily stuff the toy. Turn the torso through an un sewn section and fill it with a synthetic winterizer. Sew the slit with a blind stitch. Fold 8 parts in pairs, which will make 4 legs. Leave a hole, turn out and fill with filler. Sew the cut, attach the legs with pins to the body, determining the location. Connect the limbs to the body with a hidden seam. Work with the tail in the same way. It remains to sew the head to the body - and your goat is ready.
The differences between the patterns
You have already noticed that the pattern of the goat, the sheep can be different. We examined sewing toys from several parts. But you can sew a product from one or two parts - the head is sewn separately, the body with legs is one part. The tail is created as desired.
If the goat pattern, made by yourself, consists of four parts, then sew one part of the abdomen with an external barrel, and also the second parts with the wrong sides facing out. Then you need to connect the two already created parts together, flash along the contour, leaving the hole only on the abdomen. Turn the resulting part out and fill the goat’s body with filler through the bottom hole. It remains to sew a gap on the abdomen and sew a head to the body, which is created similarly to the description above.
