Moreover, you can sew toys of different sizes: from a needle box or a kitchen souvenir to a large and comfortable pillow. With a minimum of materials and improvised tools, it is easy to make such a product as a cat from a fabric. Patterns you will find in this article.
Cat pillow
Sewing a cat-pillow is very simple and affordable even for a beginner craftswoman. The material for the toy will be needed depending on which particular model you want to make - a tiny needle bed or a real high-grade pillow.
One way or another, even a beginner needlewoman will need very little time to sew a cute cat. Patterns of cat toys from fabric are easily made. How to make a pillow with your own hands, we will tell you right now.
For the manufacture we will need, in addition to the sewing machine, needles, threads, pattern paper, pencil, fabric and filler - synthetic winterizer, holofiber or synthetic winterizer.
We make a pattern. To do this, select any simplified drawing of a cat standing on its hind legs, draw its silhouette on paper in the right size. The pattern may be symbolic. Since this will be a pillow, the body should be quite plump, with short legs.
We sew a pillow on the sofa
The easiest way is to draw an oval, which will serve both as the head and body; draw two triangle ears from the side of the head, make the lower part a little wider than the head. On the sides, on both sides, draw oval paws - in general, the pattern should be such that after you cut out the details from the fabric from the pattern, they can easily be sewn and twisted. As an option, draw a plump cat with a slightly curved body. Patterns of toy cats from fabric can be of different shapes.
- Having drawn the contours of your future pillow, transfer them to the fabric. Do not forget to fold it in half inward with the front side to get two identical parts. One will serve as the front and the other as the back for your cat.
- After you have cut both parts, not forgetting to leave allowances for seams of 0.5 cm, we proceed to sewing. Carefully stitch along the contour both parts face inward, remembering to leave an unstitched section for stuffing.
- Lightly cut the fabric in the corners so that when turning it does not turn out creases on the parts, turn it out.
- Fill your cat with filler, pushing it into the paws and ears with a round stick or pencil, sew a hole with a hidden seam.
- On the finished pillow, mark with light strokes on one side the eyes, nose, ears, belly button, cat’s smile, and on the other hand, a small ponytail. Embroider the drawn parts along the contour with a stalk-like seam with threads of a suitable color. The nose can also be sewn with a stalk-like seam or a “forward needle” seam from a piece of a loose fabric, such as felt.
Having spent quite a bit of time, you sewed a cute pillow toy in the form of a cartoon cat. Choose any fabric - plain, checkered or small flower. And if you sew a few more cats from different fabrics, then you can get a set of pillows that will fill the room with special comfort and warmth. Do not forget that the pattern of the cat from the fabric can be arbitrary.
Sweet couple
Alternatively, you can sew a couple: a cat and a cat - which can stand on their own. At the same time, they can be crafted in a souvenir version, made large enough and also used as pillows. A fabric cat will be a nice present for Valentine's Day. Patterns are simple, the main thing is to be patient.
- Draw a cat silhouette with pear-shaped ears, with a flat bottom.
- Cut two pieces of fabric for each cat with allowances for the seams - in front and back.
- Gently stitch the parts, leaving the bottom flat part unstitched.
- Fill both silhouettes with a suitable filler to the desired completeness, then put the resulting figure on a piece of paper and draw a outline. This will be the pattern of the bottom of the future toy. Cut the part from the fabric, not forgetting the seam allowances.
- Draw a slightly rounded tail, transfer to the fabric and also cut two tail parts for each cat.
- Stitch together the details of the tail, leaving an unstitched space for stuffing at the base, turn it over and lightly fill it with filler.
- Fasten the finished tail with a pin at the desired point, sew it, while stitching together the parts of the finished body and the bottom with a blind seam.
- Draw or embroider the animals' faces, sew a bow tie to the cat, and wash the thread with the beads to the cat. Decorate them as you wish. You can also draw, embroider paws for finished toys.

- Carefully stitch both parts with the front side inward, departing from the edge of the pattern 0.5-1 cm, notch allowances for seams in the corners of the pattern for better turning of the fabric. Do not forget to leave an unstitched piece so that you can fill the toy with filler.
