How to sew a deer

In order for you to have a beautiful and accurate deer of felt, the pattern should be chosen correctly. The template should be selected in accordance with the experience and level of preparation of the needlewoman. Beginners are suitable options, consisting of a minimum number of parts and, accordingly, seams. When you master simple souvenirs, you can move on to more complex products, voluminous soft toys that are sewn from more details.

The general sequence of work will be as follows:

1. Cut out a template from the paper that you can print from the Internet or draw yourself.
2. Place the details on the felt flaps, pin with pins, circle the outlines with chalk. If necessary, add the allowances and cut out the elements.
3. Sweep or immediately sew neatly by hand or on the machine all the necessary parts. Felt is good because it does not require the processing of slices, as it does not crumble, so you can sew items even on the front side.
4. Unscrew the sewn parts if you made a line from the wrong side. If you worked on the front side, skip this step.
5. Fill the finished product or individual blanks (depending on the complexity of the object) with a holofiber or other prepared material.
6. Sew holes that are left for packing.
7. Connect all the parts to one object.
8. Sew or glue the small decor (ears, eyes).

All is ready.

Deer of felt: pattern for applique

Below are examples of simple products. On them even a beginner will have a beautiful New Year's deer. The pattern in this case should consist of one, a maximum of a pair of parts, which will have to be stitched together. Small elements can simply be glued to the base. For these patterns, it's easy to make a magnet, a key chain, a Christmas tree , a pillow, or just a decoration for the interior.

The first option looks more realistic, and the second pattern is similar to the muzzle of a simplified cartoon character. The horns and ears of these figures can be made flat or bulky, sewn to the base. Even easier is to execute the whole form as a whole.

For these patterns, it's easy to sew a piece of jewelry for a gift wrapping or to make a magnet or keychain on the same principle. For two-sided things, you will need to make two identical parts, so that on the reverse side you can not see the threads that small elements were sewed on. If the eyes and muzzle are glued, just one piece of the head is enough.

Deer toy pattern

Below is a diagram on which you can sew a three-dimensional figure of the character, but this option is more complicated. It is better to perform it to a person with experience. The first diagram shows the pattern of the deer head. She can decorate a wreath or just make a souvenir of this form.

To create such a three-dimensional toy, you need to find the following elements:

• Ears - 4 pieces (two billets of brown color, two - pink);
• Horns - 4 pieces (pair by one horn);
• Head - 2 parts;
• Nose - 1 piece.

All elements are sewn on the wrong side. Do not forget to leave a hole for filling. Before turning it is necessary to make neat cuts in places of complex shape transitions, so that later the details had an even surface. If you do not want to complicate the work, it's easy to sew the felt on the front side (even if it's a complex product), but you need to make the seams neat and smooth.
