Toy for fun
Sewing a toy sheep for your baby is easy if you use an element such as a sheep’s pattern. Such a benefit most often includes a pattern of the head, body, legs, ears. Pattern toy sheep will help create an item from any fabric. Here, for example, is a simple pattern, according to which a sheep is sewn from a thin drape.

- prepare the fabric - for the calf light, for the head and legs - darker;
- lay out the details on the fabric and cut out, not forgetting to add 3-4 mm to the seams;
- stitch all the parts in turn;

- to sew all parts of the sheep together;
- embroider a little thing and add a knitted or stitched kopachok or other decor.
Such a simple pattern of a sheep from a fabric will make it possible to sew joyful and beloved fun for a child.
Comfort sheep
For the smallest, you can also make a sheep, which will be in the baby's crib. Toys for such crumbs are called comforters. They are a piece of fabric sewn in two layers, with the toy head attached to it in the center or on one side. A self-made sheep pattern can be a good help in this work. For sewing you will need:
- children's fleece blanket;
- a toy sheep bought in a store;
- needle and thread matching in color.
From a fleece, cut a rectangle with sides of 35 by 70 centimeters. Fold it in half and stitch all sides, leaving only a small area in order to turn the basics on the front side. Mark the middle of the resulting square and sew the head from the toy sheep in this place, tightly tightening each stitch. The comfort is ready.
Instead of a toy sheep, you can use a simple pattern. Here is one, for example. In this case, the lamb can simply be sewn on one of the corners of the bouncer.
Interior decoration
Pattern sheep will not only make fun for the baby, but also decorate your home. Interior toys have been popular for many years, because they create coziness, charm at home. A sheep pattern from the fabric will help create an interesting detail in the interior. You can sew a sheep in many puppet techniques. Some of them are quite complex, require skills to create an iterative toy. Others, on the contrary, are simple. And besides, such a toy can be useful - a sofa cushion, a keeper of newspapers or a TV remote control. For example, a pillow-sheep will create comfort and save the remote control.
The pattern of the sheep-keeper of the consoles can be this:
- The basis for the size of the armrest of the sofa, where the lamb trimmer will “rule”. Here it is necessary to take into account the number of remotes that will be entrusted to the keeper, their sizes. You also need to add the width of the armrest.
- Legs of a lamb - 8 semicircular details that are stitched in pairs.
- The tail consists of 2 parts, also stitched together.
- The muzzle can be tailored to this pattern.
If the pattern of the sheep from the fabric is done correctly, then such a head should turn out.
The picture shows that the upper part, consisting of two identical parts, is cut out of looped fabric, which can be replaced with terry cloth, for example, or with the effect of “grass”. The muzzle is framed in three stitches. Eyes can either be drawn, or sewn on appropriate sized beads. Cheeks are tinted with ordinary blush or pastel.
Having assembled all the stitched parts of the toy, you will get a lamb-keeper of the remotes for the sofa, which will decorate the interior of the room. In order to prevent it from sliding away, pieces of velcro tape (Velcro) can be sewn onto the lower seamy edges.
Some nuances
Sewing toys is a definite pleasure. The process of creating something entertaining itself brings joy, and the result will create a festive atmosphere. In order for a sheep’s pattern sewn with its own hands not to fail, you need to:
- clearly present a work plan;
- prepare the material and tools that will be needed for a particular toy;
- print or draw a pattern;
- cut parts from fabric without forgetting seam allowances;
- stitch all the details as indicated on the diagrams;
- assemble a finished toy;
- decorate the sheep with a suitable decor.
All fabrics have their own characteristics that should be considered when preparing for work. So, felt and felt, which are very often used in the creation of various toys, do not spread and do not roll. These are ideal materials for creating mobiles and decorative elements. They are sewn along the front side. Natural cotton and linen during the subsequent washing can “sit down”, so they should be washed beforehand in hot water. Details from easily poured, artificial fabrics can be first overlaid separately, and then stitched together. In this case, seam allowances should be sufficient for such preparation.
If it is assumed that the toy will stand on a flat surface, then, for example, it is possible to enclose parts made of thick cardboard in its base, in the legs. Toys for babies should not contain small parts that the child can tear and swallow. All work requires accuracy so that the result does not disappoint. Good luck
