Second, it will be a toy for kids as early as one year old and develop into a true soft friend! By the way, you can read your child the fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs" after you’ve sewn three little pigs and adorned their necks with vibrant bows.

We must first get ready the following equipment and supplies for work:

• cuts of thin pink felt or fleece;
• pink and black sewing threads;
• sharply sharpened scissors;
• 10 sewing pins;
• a couple of black beads for eyes;
• two medium pink buttons;

How to sew a pig from felt: step-by-step master class

Stage one

All of the patterns are first transferred to paper, after which they are applied to the cloth, pinned with pins, and penciled in. Leaving space for seams, cut out the necessary number of blanks (specified on each pattern).

Stage two

We go straight to sewing now. Firstly, we stitch the ears together by folding two felt pieces in half, right sides together, and leaving a small opening for turning. Turn the blank inside out, fill it with a small amount of holofiber, or leave it empty if preferred. Secure the ears with a pin by folding them at the base.

Make sure to allow space for the ears when sewing the pig’s head blanks. Stuff the blank from the inside out, close the opening, and sew on the ears after turning it inside out. Incorporate the beady eyes. Use black embroidery thread to create the eyebrows. You can use pink thread to embroider the piglet or decorate it with two tiny pink buttons.

Sew every portion of the pig’s body, giving yourself a few centimeters extra to sew on the legs and tail. Insert holofiber into the toy.

The pig’s legs now need to be filled with holofiber and sewn. Use a blind stitch to attach them to the body.

Stuff and sew the holofiber tail gently, then use concealed stitches to attach it to the body. Sew the pig’s head and body together.

Tie the ribbon into a beautiful bow and place it around the pig’s neck. The pig is prepared!

How to sew a felt pig: step-by-step master class

Stage one

The patterns are first transferred onto thin paper: two blanks for the body, two for the head, two for the ears, two for the snouts, and one for the tail. Eliminate the designs.

Next, using pins to secure the paper blanks to the felt, cut out the pieces, leaving a small space for the seams. Since the seams in this instance are external, 2-3 mm should be sufficient.

Step two

On the front side of the snout, sew two beads (the pig’s nostrils). Stitch the two snout sections together, stuffing them a little with holofiber, and attach it to the head’s front. Sewn or glued black eyes with beads. The ears and a ribbon with a keychain ring placed between the front and back of the head should be folded. Stitch the pieces together, sprinkling a little holofiber inside. Attach the earlobes to the head at an angle using adhesive.

Stitch the two body parts together, adding the tail as you go. Fill the pig’s body to the brim with holos. Tightly wind the tail onto a toothpick or use scissors to twist it.

Sew the pig’s head and body together.

Apply blush to the piglet’s cheeks by dipping a watercolor brush in water and then red paint, blending the paint slightly on the paper.

Make a tiny bow with polka dots out of blue cotton and use it to adorn the pig’s neck. Completed!

This toy will look great as more than just a keychain. If you sew a long loop of thin satin ribbon into the pig instead of a ring, it will make a fantastic Christmas tree toy.

Piglets in Tilda style

The most authentic representation of the 2019 Yellow Earth Pig symbol is Tilda Pig! Norwegian Tone Finninger created this unique interior toy, which features a simple figure, small beady eyes, and rosy cheeks. Craftswomen genuinely hold a special place in their hearts for these dolls. The tilda style was first used to sew dolls, but as time went on, skilled sewers started to use the same technique to make cats, dogs, owls, and even pigs!

We must first get ready the following equipment and supplies for work:

• translucent paper for patterns;
• sharp scissors;
• cotton fabric (a piece of beige and white cotton);
• pink and black acrylic paints;
• a small piece of black velvet for a bow;
• two red beads;
• a small piece of aluminum wire;
• sewing thread to match the fabric;
• synthetic padding or holofiber for stuffing the pig;
• sewing pins;
• paint brush.

Tilda style pig toy: step-by-step master class

Step one

Cut out the template after transferring it to a piece of paper. Trace it onto the fabric that has been folded in half. Two blanks each for the wings and ears, four blanks for the legs, and one body part should be provided. To make the pig figurine more elongated, it is crucial to position the templates so that the grain line extends across the width.

Allow a small amount of space for turning and stuffing the parts as you hand-sew or use a sewing machine to stitch all the blanks along the contours. Using sharp scissors, cut them, then flip them to face the front.

Stage two

Stitch the upper wing outline so that the resulting structure resembles feathers.

Fill the pig to capacity, pressing down on the holofiber with the pencil’s blunt end. Stitch across the section to the center, stuffing the ears very little.

Utilizing a blind stitch, sew the pig.

After twisting and pinning the ears to the pig’s head, use blind stitches to sew them on. As we get to the area nearest the middle of the muzzle, form the pig’s nostrils and extend the needle to its snout. Repeat with the other ear. Make sure to pull the thread tightly enough to leave indentations where the nostrils should be.

Using blind stitches, sew the legs to the pig’s body, securing them with pins and holding the top section by the thread blanks.

As seen in the title image, we pin the wings on and then sew them to the pig’s back.

Twist the aluminum wire to form a spiral, leaving a 2-3 cm long elongated leg. We reposition the tail to its correct position. We create a halo-shaped blank by twisting a smaller piece of wire and inserting it in between the ears.

Stage three

Using a thin brush and acrylic paint, create beady eyes for the pig. Once the brush has been cleaned, use a small amount of red or pink paint to shade the paper and create rosy cheeks for the pig. Shade the muzzle a little bit.

Make a loose bow and wrap a thin strip of black velvet around the pig’s neck. You can use beads or pretty plastic cherries to adorn the bow.

DIY felt Peppa Pig

Nearly the entire world has been captivated by the British cartoon featuring Peppa Pig and her family! That’s for sure, at least in the world of the kids:) We’re going to walk you through the process of sewing your most beloved cartoon character in a matter of hours today!

We must first get ready the following equipment and supplies for work:

• pattern (according to the markings we have suggested, the pig"s height will be 16-17 cm, but if desired, it can be reduced to the size of a keychain or increased, making it a full-fledged soft toy);
• soft semi-woolen felt (four sheets of pink in different shades, as well as scraps of raspberry, white and black);
• sewing threads in the color of the material;
• wire with fluffy fabric or thread wound around it for the tail of the curl;
• holofiber for stuffing Peppa"s parts;
• sharply sharpened scissors;
• needle;
• pencil, chalk, soap or self-disappearing marker;
• sushi stick to compact the filling when stuffing.

Prior to beginning, print the following pattern:

How to sew Peppa Pig from felt: step-by-step master class

Stage one

Once the pattern has been printed, cut out each piece and place it onto felt sheets, tracing with a pencil:

• head, ears, legs and tail – on pink fabric;
• dress and smile – on a dark pink cloth;
• cheeks and nostrils – on purple fabric;
• snout – on light pink fabric;
• eyes – on white fabric;
• Peppa"s shoes and pupils are transferred to black felt, tracing with soap or chalk.

Therefore, we ought to be prepared with:

• four blanks for legs, arms, ears;
• two blanks for the head, tail, dress, eyes, pupils, nostrils;
• one blank for the snout, smile and cheeks.

After arranging every component in its proper location, we immediately start sewing.

Stage two

We stitch the pig’s arms, legs, and ears together using a standard loop stitch. Use the shade of sewing thread that most closely matches the fabric. Fill the arms and legs to the brim with density, using the back of a pencil to support ourselves; leave the ears empty.

Use a pre-selected wire wrapped in fluffy thread to create a curled tail.

After sewing the two halves of the tail together, tuck the wire inside, leaving about 1 to 1.5 centimeters outside. Holofiber does not need to be stuffed into the tail!

The end result will be the following blanks: two filled-in legs and arms, empty ears, and a tail with wire inserted.

Stage three

Now let’s begin adorning the pig’s face.

We start by positioning each cut-out blank in its designated spot, and then we use any kind of thread to bash each one in place. This stitch is meant to temporarily secure all the parts at the time of sewing them on; we will unravel it a little later. Now that the needle is threaded with a suitable color, we can begin sewing. Use white thread to sew on the eyes, black thread for the pupils, and pink thread for the smile, cheeks, nose, and nostrils. Once all the details of the muzzle have been stitched in their proper locations, take out the temporary stitch. Right now, we have the following:

Only one side of the snout needs to be sewn!

The ears are now inserted and two head blanks are sewn together. Use a pin to hold them in place or use a temporary stitch.

Step four

It’s time to put Peppa’s shoes on.

We do this by fastening boots or shoes to the legs. We stuff them firmly with holofiber after sewing them with an overstitch.

The pig is now being dressed. After using thread to secure the arms, legs, and tail, we sew the dress using a loop stitch and stuff it lightly. We eliminate all transient seams.

We use a basting stitch to secure the pig’s head to the dress once it has already been sewn.

We now use a permanent stitch to sew the head. Now is not the time to hurry. Ascertain that the stitches’ height and step are the same.

After sewing the head and ears, we fill the cavity with holofiber.

We distribute the filler inside the workpiece using a sushi stick or the blunt end of a pencil. After completing this step, we verify that the holofiber is sufficiently packed tightly and look for any gaps inside the component. We stitch it together.

Joy! Our pig is eager to win over its admirers! 128521;

Bad pig from the game Angry Birds

Both kids and adults have always adored the well-known pig, who grunts abhorrently and annoys birds greatly. I promise that this amusing toy won’t be left unused! Since sewing is so simple, we recommend that kids get involved in the process;)

In order to get started, we must first gather the following supplies and equipment:

• light green, gray and white thin felt;
• sewing threads to match the felt – gray, white and light green;
• a needle;
• holofiber, padding polyester, cotton wool or any other filler;
• A4 sheet of paper;
• a sewing machine or your own pens 🙂

Print the pattern from the screen, or draw it again.

Sew a bad pig from Angry Birds: step-by-step master class

Stage one

Let’s first sort out what’s what. Thus, the pattern consists of ten parts:

• 1 – base, we will need 6 of these cut-out blanks on green felt;
• 2 – large ear, cut out two ears on green felt;
• 3 – small ear – two parts on gray felt;
• 4 – pig snout, you will need one piece, green felt;
• 5 – lining for the snout, one piece of green felt;
• 6 – nostrils, you will need two pieces cut out of gray felt;
• 7 – eye, two pieces of white felt;
• 8 – pupil, two pieces of gray felt;
• 9 – smile, one piece of white felt;
• 10 – mouth, one piece cut out of grey felt.

The act of sewing itself is very easy. It’s obvious that the toy is basically a small green ball if you examine it closely. We’ll sew it together using wedges (part 1). The wedges are made in the following manner:

Five wedges, each measuring 15 cm in length and 6.4 cm in width, are used to sew our pig.

All of the paper patterns are cut out and then sewn onto the fabric. We cut the fabric pieces out and move on to the next task.

Stage two

The pig’s body is being sewn together. We utilize five wedges that we have pre-cut:

After gradually sewing them together to form a "ball," we stuff the blank with holofiber and use a blind stitch to close the hole that was left earlier for stuffing and turning. With the exception of blind stitches, you can sew by machine or by hand using a backstitch.

That’s it; the pig base ball is ready.

Stage three

We will now stitch Bad Pig’s ears.

Each ear is made up of three components, as we already know: two green parts that are identical to each other and one gray part.

We join the green blank to the gray one using a backstitch. This is how it ought to appear:

And now we are going to use a standard loop stitch to join the two green sections of the ears. It’s not necessary to put holofiber in your ears!

Now all you have to do is use a blind stitch to attach them to the pig’s head.

Stage four

It’s time to introduce the nose-piglet. The following blanks are ready:

The light green strip is sewn into a ring and then turned inside out. Using the back stitch, attach two gray nostrils to the oval green patch.

After carefully sewing the headband for the nose to the actual nose, we are left with the following:

The last step is to use a blind stitch to attach the snout to the muzzle, tucking the edge in slightly. Completed!

Step five

Let’s now focus on perfecting Bad Pig’s trademark smile. Cut out teeth from white felt and a mouth from gray felt. This is how it ought to appear:

Sew the teeth with white thread using a back stitch, and then use gray thread to sew the mouth to the muzzle.

Step six

Sewing the eyes is the only thing left to do to get the pig ready.

Two larger white circles and two smaller gray circles for the pupils are among the four pieces we have already prepared. This is how they appear:

First, use a back stitch to sew a small gray circle onto a large white one. Then, sew the completed eye to the muzzle. For the second eye, do the same. Sew the pupils closer to the outside edges of the eye and off-center to give the pig an authentic appearance.

And with that, the naughty piglet is prepared! 128578;
