Materials for manufacturing
So, what do you need to sew a bright donut-shaped pillow?
- Fleece or felt – 1 m of a light shade for the base and 0.5 m in a bright (lilac, pink, yellow) color. When choosing a color, focus on your own preferences.
- Small pieces of bright fabric to decorate the donut. You can choose contrasting colors: red, blue, green, orange.
- Threads of the same color as the base.
And, of course, you can't do without a sewing machine. To fasten the pieces together, stock up on pins, prepare sharp scissors, a pencil or chalk for markings. It is important to decide on the shape of the product - if it is a circle, find an object that will serve as a template for the pattern. For example, you can use a bowl, a saucepan. For filling, you will need synthetic padding or other soft material, which is available on the shelves of handicraft stores.
How to Make a Donut Decorative Pillow
After preparing the materials, study the main stages of working on the pillow. The step-by-step instructions look like this.
- Fold the fabric for the blanks inward with the right side facing out and straighten it;
- Draw 2 circles with chalk or pencil: a large one and a small one inside it. The large workpiece should be round, with even edges. The shape of the inner, small one is arbitrary, wavy.
- Along the outer contour of the large shape and along the inner contour of the small shape, draw half a centimeter for an allowance.
- Carefully cut out the blanks with scissors. The donut needs to be decorated with "glaze", so cut out a large circle of a bright color, similar in diameter to the base.
- Step back a little from the outer edges and draw a line of "glaze".
- To make the "sprinkle", cut out circles of any shape: triangles, squares, different sizes and shapes.
- Secure the decoration with pins in different places, baste them with threads by hand;
- Repeat the same thing with the icing on the beige base circle.
- The final stage of preparation is to stitch the blanks on a sewing machine. Before stitching the edges, remove the threads from the basting on the fabric, take out the pins, and lay the fabric out evenly. Connect the two parts of the large circle together with the front side down and make an even stitch.
- Leave a little space from the outer edge of the circle to turn the pillow inside out. If you can't turn the product inside out because of the chosen shape, you need to make a line on the front side, with a neat zigzag. Next, you need to connect the "glaze" with the beige base and "sprinkles".
Now we start stuffing the donut with filler: it should be distributed evenly, without lumps, and not be hard. When the pillow is ready, the filler is distributed evenly, you can sew the seam to the end. Instead of padding polyester, you can use batting or silicone balls.
Such a decorative product will be a great gift for all holidays, and even novice needlewomen can sew it. A bright pillow is an ideal addition to the interior, suitable as a gift for those with a sweet tooth and baking masters, an original reminder of a healthy lifestyle for everyone who is involved in fitness.
To make you smile is the main task of the product, because it is beautiful, bright and unusual. "Donut" will be convenient on a long journey, at home, the pillow will give a charge of positive emotions in any situation.
