The upcoming 2015 was divided between two symbolic animals - Goat and Sheep. And therefore, it will be completely appropriate to give friends and relatives pictures of these animals in any form: in paintings, postcards, knitted and sewn. Today we will sew a New Year’s sheep, which will take its place of honor on a shelf or chest of drawers and will surely bring success and happiness to the house, a stable income and harmony in the family, as the eastern belief says.
For work, we need two types of fabric: a plain pink flannel for the muzzle and ears and a multi-colored cotton fabric for the body and hair on the head, a decoration on the neck (you can hang a bell or a flower), a ribbon for the tail, threads, scissors, a needle and a filler for stuffing (synthetic winterizer). And, of course, a pattern downloaded from the Internet. You can sew on a typewriter, or you can manually, as you are used to.
We decompose the fabric by folding it in half and outline all the details, the details are all in one copy, except for the ears.
Sew details along the line of the pattern, leaving a small area not stitched for subsequent stuffing, cut out with an allowance for seams of 7-8 mm. We go around the edges so that the material does not “go” with threads at the edges.
Turn out every detail.
Fill the details with a synthetic winterizer and carefully, with a hidden seam, sew in the holes for stuffing.
We begin to stitch all the pieces together. Finish stitching parts. The sheep is almost ready, it remains to sew her tail and decorate.
Well, now our New Year’s sheep looks as it should, and will be glad to bring blessings and joy to the home of its owners!
