To make it interesting for the child to spend time, the mother is ready to buy him any toy. Of course, you can’t do without them, but things made by yourself carry a special energy. Therefore, it is worth trying to sew a toy pillow with your own hands.
What's the secret?
Such products are very popular not only among children, but also among their parents. A pillow made in the shape of an animal, a boat or a car, geometric figure- universal.
It is soft, pleasant to the touch and arouses the child's interest. You can lie on it, throw it instead of a ball, or use it as a chair. Bright and colorful products, made with your own hands, can serve as decor, giving the interior a unique charm.
Many children love to take these toys with them to bed, they remind them of home in kindergarten or while traveling.
In addition, they are easy to wash and wash – mothers will definitely appreciate this.
Children's products have many functions, but one of the main ones is educational. Soft pillows can be sewn from whole fabric or from scraps, or a combination of materials. The child will explore texture and develop sensitivity. A variety of colors will help you learn colors faster.
Which filler should I choose?
To sew a pillow, first of all, you need to choose a filler.
It is important to remember the main requirements:
- the toy should be light;
- the pillow should be easy to wash;
- the filler must be hypoallergenic.
If the filler is very dense, the product will be heavy and it will be difficult for the baby to carry it from place to place. And if you throw such a pillow, it can injure the child.
Of course, the product will have to be washed often. The filler should be practical and quick-drying.
When making soft toy pillows with their own hands, experienced needlewomen recommend using holofiber or synthetic fluff. Modern version– polystyrene. This is a special ball filler that is used in pillows.
When making children's pillow toys with your own hands, do not forget about safety. First you need to check if your baby is allergic to the filler. Only environmentally friendly materials can be used.
Educational toy
Every mother tries to develop her baby’s motor skills, observation, attention and other skills. Experts advise doing this during the game, when the brain little man most receptive to outside information.
The educational pillow is intended for babies up to one year old, but older children will also enjoy playing with it. First of all, draw a sketch of the future product. You can come up with schemes yourself or take them from the Internet - it all depends on your imagination.
For the base, you can use blue fabric measuring 53x20 cm and the same green one. For the pocket you will need the same material 30x20 cm, it needs to be folded in half.
Two parts of the base are duplicated with rezzelin:
- Sun. To make a sun, you need to cut out a circle with a diameter of 8 cm from felt. For the rays, strips of 10 cm are suitable, 8 pieces are enough. Place the sun on the pocket and arrange the ribbons so that the edges are hidden under the circle. It will be easier to sew them on if you first pin them with a pin. All parts must be sewn firmly and securely so that a child cannot tear them;
- Water. For the lake you can use blue felt. Cut out fish from the same material. To make it more interesting for the baby, the fish need to be attached to an elastic band from a hat or to any thin cord. The other end of the elastic must be threaded through the base and tied in a knot;
- "Residents". Similarly to fish, you can attach butterflies, birds or dragonflies. Make a train or a rubber band car. Flowers can be attached with Velcro. During their exploration, the child will develop thinking, imagination, fine motor skills. You can come up with patterns for toy pillows that you want to make yourself, or learn from the experience of other needlewomen.
The reverse side can be smooth and plain so as not to distract the baby’s attention. Sew the pillow around the perimeter, having previously placed the filling.
Making an owl
To make an owl pillow toy with your own hands, you need to cut out a pillowcase from the base material that will resemble an owl. The ears should be clearly defined.
Cut out a piece from finishing fabric oval shape so that the height is 20 cm and the width is 30 cm. Open the eyes and beak from felt. Now you can move on to collecting the parts into one whole.
Sew the appliqués with the wrong side to the base. To make it more convenient, you need to baste them first. Make the pupils dark so that your owl's gaze is more expressive.
Stuff the base with filler and finish the edges with a zigzag stitch. Reverse side You can decorate it with felt to make the owl look like a real one.
Cat pillow
She may be different sizes. The height of this will be 36 cm, so you will need fabric 80x40 cm. It needs to be folded in half front side inside. Make patterns of toys, place them on the material and trace them with a pen.
To make it more convenient to cut out double parts, it is better to pin the fabric together with pins. Before cutting, step back 1 cm from the line - this will be the seam allowance. Connect the parts with a seam "forward needle". The fabric will not shrink when twisted if you make cuts in the corners. Turn the product inside out and straighten it.

Decorate pillowcases with plant prints
An original way to decorate a pillowcase with a floral design is to transfer prints of living fresh grass and leaves onto it. A product with this design will be unique and one of a kind. It will also warm you up on winter evenings with thoughts of warm summer.
To work you will need:
- natural light fabric;
- freshly picked plants;
- hammer;
- scissors;
- parchment, preferably siliconized for baking.
Fern, plantain, and clover are perfect for prints. Pick the plant you need, spread it on the fabric and cover with parchment. Beat it very hard with a hammer so that the juice comes out of the leaves, which is absorbed into the fabric and forms an imprint. Remember: Plants need to be picked on a hard, flat surface.
Experiment with different leaves, stems, and placement to get the look you want.

Step-by-step master - classes and patterns or how to sew a pillow with your own hands
A lot of master classes are waiting for you now. Let's start with children's pillows.
Pillows - toys for adults and children
Soft plush friends are always appreciated by children. What if we made them a little more practical, but no less original? In this section you will see a lot of children's pillows in the form of toys and simply unusual and bright designs for a great rest for your baby.
Children's pillow - toy “Rosalina”
With this shy beauty children's sleep will always be a joy. To sew a soft blanket for your child, you will need:
- velsoft (for the base of Rosalina, you can take faux fur and fleece);
- thin felt (for decorating the muzzle);
- threads in the color of the fabric + black;
- lace of 2 colors (for decoration);
- small rose (for the central part of the bow);
- padding polyester (for stuffing);
- dry pastel (to give a delicate blush);
- cotton pad (optional);
- chalk or pencil (for transferring patterns onto fabric);
- needle;
- pins (for chopping parts);
- scissors.
Here are the patterns for Rosalina (click to enlarge):
Cut them out carefully, velsoft is a capricious fabric. We start with the ears. Sew them like below. Turn the ears out and stuff them with padding polyester.
Place the ears inside the head. Pin along the edge, baste and sew, leaving an opening at the bottom.
Turn your head inside out along with your ears. I got it like this:
Stuff Rosalina with padding polyester and sew up the bottom hole with a hidden seam.
Now we have to make Rosaline's face. To do this, take all the details of the face, pin them to the head (so as not to move), and then sew them with a small hidden seam.
To apply blush, just take a pastel chalk and rub the bunny’s cheeks, rub it with your finger. If the pile on the fabric is not very long, you can do this using a cotton pad, after first applying pastel to it.
Rosalina definitely needs to make a cute headband! To do this, cut the lace to such a length that it is slightly longer distance between the ears.
Sew the ends of this piece to the ears, as if stretching it.
Now let's make a bow! To do this, take another piece of lace, fold it in half and sew the ends together.
Now simply sew a line of running stitches down the center of the bow. And pull it off.
Quadrocat
Necessary materials
What will we need for a pillow - a Quadrocat toy?
Here is the list:
- fleece in 2 colors (for the muzzle and head);
- felt (for the eyes and nose);
- threads in the color of the fabric;
- padding polyester or padding polyester (for stuffing);
- white acrylic paint for the pupil (or rhinestones)
- a glass of water (if you use paint);
- second glue (if you chose rhinestones);
- pencil or chalk for transferring patterns onto fabric;
- stitching needle;
- paper for transferring patterns onto fabric;
- scissors.
Before you start sewing, you will need the patterns that I have prepared for you (click):
First of all, I want to say: this is only a quarter of the pattern (for the head and muzzle), for the nose it is half. For felt parts, allowances are not needed. For everyone else, half a centimeter should be enough.
First of all, cut out and sew the ears together. Trim off excess seam allowances. Turn out the ears.
You can put the ears aside for now, take the muzzle and head. Sew the muzzle into the head as shown below.
To avoid confusion, you can make small notes in the same places on the muzzle and border.
This is what the cat's face looks like:
Now place the ears inside the Quadrocat where you like and sew them in. Also sew around the edge of the cat, leaving a small hole at the bottom.
Turn the pillow inside out. So far Quadrocat looks like this:
And now you need to stuff the pillow with padding polyester as tightly as possible, since fleece is very sensitive to stretching and can simply turn out “orange peel” if the stuffing is not dense enough
Sew the bottom hole with a hidden seam. Below you can see the hole that is already completely sewn up.
Our cat is still without a face! Let's fix this. Take the eyes and nose and place them where you would like to see the muzzle.
We will sew on the eyes and nose. To do this, bring the thread out as below and sew with a buttonhole stitch, but VERY fine. That is, there should be no distance between the stitches at all.
This process is quite painstaking, but it’s worth it! Final photo:
DIY letter pillows
A very common type now sofa cushions. They are sewn quite simply, the main thing is to have the alphabet with in the right language. And enlarge the letters to the desired size, of course.

Soft heart for dear
Now we’ll talk about how to give a gift to your loved one with your own hands. Otherwise, Valentine's Day is about to come, and somehow I rarely prepare you for it)
What gift am I talking about? We will sew a beautiful pink heart-shaped pillow with voile frills.
Necessary materials
- faux fur for the heart itself (the pillow is quite large, so the dimensions of the material are decent: 110 x 40 cm);
- veil, chiffon or organza for frills and flowers (dimensions: 300 x 30 cm);
- synthetic padding or padding polyester for stuffing;
- threads in the color of the fabric;
- satin ribbon for bow;
- rhinestones;
- paper for patterns;
- pencil for transferring patterns;
- scissors;
- needle;
- pins for pinning patterns and frills.
You will need patterns (click to enlarge):
As you can see, this is only half of our heart. Therefore, when you cut it out, transfer first one half, then the other. And so on for both parts.
Cut out two parts so that the direction of the pile on them is the same. Cut a strip of the following dimensions from the veil: 300 x 18 cm. Such a long length is needed so that when further gathering this strip you can insert it into the edges of the pillow.
Now fold the strip in half lengthwise. Sew on sewing machine two lines at a distance from the edge and from each other by about 5 - 7 mm. But do not fasten the ends of the thread! And leave more thread on all sides.
We haven't secured our stitching, so now we can tighten it. Just pull both threads and slowly gather our frill until the desired state(the length of the finished frill should be equal to the length of the edge of the pillow itself).
Once the threads are tight, tie all the threads into knots at the ends and trim off the excess threads.
Now you need to put the frill inside the pillow, as shown below, and pin it.
And then baste and sew without sewing to the end. Leave a small hole. After everything is sewn, turn the future pillow inside out and fill it with synthetic down.
Now sew the ends of the frill together, as in the bottom photo.
If you have a small reserve of frill left, you can slightly hide the seam by making a small fold. All that remains is to sew up the left hole.
Our pillow, of course, is good, but there are not enough decorative elements on it, so we will make roses with you. To make roses, you will need 3 strips of veil with the following dimensions: 9 x 50 cm, 5 x 30 cm and 4 x 17 cm. Process them as well as a frill for a pillow.
It's time to wrap our rose! To do this, start rolling the rosette as below. But when wrapping the flower, bend the edges of the rose so that it looks more natural. Using this principle, make all 3 roses.
The roses turned out great, didn't they? I hope everything worked out for you too. By the way, I wrote about creating similar roses in one of the previous posts.
All that remains is to sew or glue the rose to the pillow. It turns out very nice:

So, you have seen that you can easily make toy pillows with your own hands. The patterns selected in the article are very easy. Even a beginner can handle such templates.
The idea to make pillows in the shape of animals came to my mind when I saw these at an exhibition. They looked very funny. We were with our daughter, and she was the first to notice them. She really wanted to buy such a pillow, but I decided to sew it myself. Moreover, my daughter’s birthday was approaching, and I had not yet decided on a gift.
I took it at home required material and began to tinker. I decided to sew a cat pillow. I made a body out of a rectangle. She pulled it over, indicating the head. I sewed triangles to it. We got ears. Making the paws and tail turned out to be no more difficult. I embroidered the eyes with floss threads, made a mustache from wool threads. I made a pillow toy in one evening!
On the morning of my birthday, I went into my daughter’s room with a cat pillow. My baby quickly woke up and was delighted with the new toy. From that moment on, pillows in the shape of animals became my hobby. I sew them for home and for friends as gifts.
Most often I sew them from scrap materials. Manufacturing takes very little time. And such pillows turn out to be unusual and effective. Both children and adults like them. They can decorate the interior.
Isn’t it great when you have a pillow in the shape of a fluffy cat on your sofa? And you made it with your own hands, and didn’t buy it at exorbitant prices in the store!
