Applied arts are now very popular among both housewives and busy business women. An item that you can’t buy anywhere, especially if you made it yourself, will bring comfort and warmth to your home. It won't take much time, but it will bring tremendous pleasure.

Classmates

It’s getting colder outside and you’re increasingly drawn to drinking tea and bagels? Wonderful. Let's go to the kitchen and begin the process. Oh, what a shame, we have to heat the kettle again, which means we have to wait.

Why waste time. I suggest we get down to business. We are opening a master class. So, let’s sew a teapot warmer with our own hands. You can, of course, get by with a bath cap or an old ski shoe. But I suggest you use your imagination and depict, for example, a rooster, or maybe a chicken. And if he does, then it will be a Russian woman in a national costume or an important merchant’s wife. I assure you, it will not be much more difficult, but much more interesting.

First master class

Hotty cock

For the base you will need:

• textile ;
• padding polyester;
• buttons - 2 pcs.

This is all. Even a sewing machine is not necessary if you have the desire and skillful hands. And I’m sure you will always find scissors and thread with a needle in your home.

1. Let's start making simple paper. For this you need measure the circumference of the teapot, including the spout and handle, as well as its height. We take these dimensions as a basis.

Take the simplest version of the drawing first. I found it on the Internet.

2. Selecting fabrics. The pattern can be absolutely anything, from colorful to monochromatic. If you find extra waffle or terry towels in the house, the cockerel will be irresistible.

If you don’t have padding polyester, this will do batting or any other insulation.

For the wrong side you need a thinner one, but again, cotton material, cambric or chintz. For the manufacture of small parts, such as a comb, beak and beard, try to find a dense one, preferably red, textile. But this is also not a prerequisite. Convenient to use, fleece, drape or any dense material that does not require additional processing.

3. Transfer the design from the paper base to the fabric, not forgetting to add 1.5 cm to the seams. We cut out small details (comb, beak and beard) separately. And cut it out. All parts need to be cut out in two pieces.

4. Add three layers of our future heating pad in sequence: top, padding polyester and lining. We pin it with pins. The result was two identical blanks. To ensure that the blanks do not fall apart and have a finished look, we sew or hand-embroider decorative seams on each of them. This will emphasize the volume. It’s also best to sew an eye button to each separate half right now.

5. We fasten the resulting two blanks together with pins or basting, seam inside, not forgetting to first put the pre-sewn small elements in place: comb, beak and beard.

6. Before stitching completely, turn the sample inside out and try it on., placing it on the kettle. At this stage, we need to make sure that the heating pad will fit just right. Sew the two side elements of the heating pad together using a final seam. And don't forget to finish this inner seam by hand or with an overlocker.

7. If the height of the product allows, fold the bottom edge inward and simply stitch. If not, then use braid, piping or fabric scraps to form a decorative edge of the product.

The heating pad in the shape of a rooster is ready. Now you can put it on the kettle and not worry about it cooling down quickly.

By the same principle you can sew a chicken, excluding one element. Yes, it's a beard. Therefore, we will not repeat ourselves, although chicken will also come in handy, since you also have a teapot. And this is already a whole family. Also consider a mitten and potholders in the same color. No doubt, your household will love it.

If you master the simple task of making such an improvised rooster warmer or chicken warmer, then believe me, you will be unstoppable. For this reason, I propose to depict something more delightful in the next master class.

Second master class

I hope you have heard about the woman on the samovar? Here. Let's make a hot water bottle doll. Believe me, this is also not difficult, since we will use only affordable materials available in every home, which means we won’t have to buy anything special. You are already quite an experienced master.

Baba on a samovar or hot water bottle doll

So. Are we sewing a peasant young lady, a merchant's wife or a society lady? The less we guess, the more interesting the result. In addition to the materials that were used for the base of the previous craft, we are looking in the house for everything that could be useful for an exclusive and truly magnificent work.

We will need:

• ruffles;
• lace;
• ribbons;
• beads

It's simple.

1. Sew according to pre-measured base sizes. You already understand how this is done. But I propose to simplify the task even further and, as a pattern, draw a regular rectangle, the length of which is equal to the diameter of the teapot, including the spout and handle. The height is also known. Don't forget to add 2cm for seams. This will be the base, also known as the underskirt.

2. You need to stitch together the folded parts bases with just one seam.

3. Carefully hem the bottom of the skirt, and assemble the top into a gather, not forgetting to leave a hole for sewing in the body.

Now the underskirt is ready. You can leave everything in this form, additionally placing a nice apron on top of the finished doll, which can always be removed and washed if necessary. Which, of course, is very convenient.

But, if all this seems not enough for you and your imagination continues to run wild, do not deny yourself the pleasure of amusing your imagination and start sewing a chic overskirt.

4. Overskirt.

If you decide that your product is not a simple woman on a samovar, but an exclusive work of art, then do not limit your possibilities. Use beautiful bright fabrics, lace, ruffles, flounces, artificial flowers and all sorts of fashion accessories. Anything is good. Sew the finished top skirt along the side seams. Fold the bottom. Once again, evaluate whether all the details are applied and fasten with a cotton base.

That's not all. A little patience.

5. To complete a masterpiece you have to find or make very important parts. For them, you can use elements of an old rubber doll. Of particular value is the head, where everything is already there: eyes with eyelashes, lips, rosy cheeks and even hair. If there is no extra doll in the house, then you will have to work a little more and sew the head, torso and arms separately. Or you can link it. Experiment. Old knitwear, socks or tights can also help out here.

6. Sew up the sewn or knitted head, turn it inside out and stuff it with filler. The pattern for the head is simple and depends on the size of the doll. I suggest using the following.

7. For creating hair and styling hairstyles use any yarn, including bright and colored ones. You can use a soft base to embroider a smooth hairstyle with a parting in the middle, and then braid voluminous braids or tie funny ponytails with bows. Or you can immediately create a full head of hair by first loosening an old scarf, which will give volume and a curl effect. If you decide to dress the young lady in a knitted hat, turban or a spectacular deep hat. In this case, you won’t have to bother with making hair.

8. Cut and cut out the arms and torso according to a simple pattern that does not require exact dimensions. One condition is that all parts of the body must correspond to each other. Each part requires two pieces. Sew them together with neat seams, turn them inside out and stuff them with filling. It is convenient to use knitted materials.

The patterns are so simple that you don’t have to look for them on the Internet. You can easily draw them yourself:

9. Arms, torso and ready-made head need to be connected to each other to form a whole workpiece.

10. Finishing touches. Embroider funny ones eyes, nose and smile. Dress the doll in a smart blouse. All you have to do is carefully fasten the workpiece to the base (lower and upper skirt). All.

Just great. The result was not a woman at all, but a charming girl. But as soon as you put a crown on her head, she will already be a princess. And with a rose in your black hair you can end up with a beautiful gypsy.

Experiment. Believe me, there will be no limit to the delight of family and friends. Now you know how to sew a heating pad for a teapot with your own hands. Have no doubt, the ability to make such souvenirs will definitely come in handy. You can now give a master class to anyone. Moreover, the issue with gifts has now been resolved once and for all. Moreover, such textile products are now in fashion. This is also a functional gift. After all, it not only decorates the kitchen, but also allows you to retain heat inside the kettle for a long time. That's what we wanted. Enjoy your tea.

Warmers for teapots have been in use for quite some time. This is due to the fact that it was easier to wrap ancient samovars and teapots properly, retaining heat, than to reheat them each time. Nowadays, a heating pad for a teapot is more a tribute to tradition than a severe necessity. But one cannot help but admit that tea, which was not just brewed but steeped using a heating pad, is much tastier.

What is such a thing? A case with insulation that covers the teapot. But leaving everything like this would be too boring, so housewives and craftswomen are experimenting with different forms that such heating pads take. The most popular options are dolls or women. And this is quite logical - the wide skirts are a cover with insulation, and the upper part of the doll is purely decorative. Also popular are warmers in the shape of cats, chickens, owls, houses and fruits. They attract the attention of beginning craftswomen, since making them with your own hands is much easier than sewing a doll.

Material

There are only two options. Knitting warmers for a teapot, crochet, most often. Knitting patterns rarely contain complex combinations of elements - their function is rather to indicate increases and decreases. Amigurumi knitting is practical, but at the same time, toys knitted using this technique are simply charming. You can also knit some kind of toy for a teapot using knitting needles, but it will be difficult to find any stunning patterns for this purpose, so crochet patterns are more common among handmade craftsmen.

In addition, kettle covers Can be sewn by hand or on a sewing machine. Such patterns are not complicated - at least their lower parts. Wide skirts are sewn around the circumference, but the top, the woman or the doll itself, is sewn differently. This could be a tilde doll, or a nylon doll. Some people prefer to sew fairy-tale princesses, while others will like the Baba Yaga doll – it’s a matter of taste. It is only worth noting that without skill and practice it will be difficult to sew Baba Yaga from any material - she is too typical a character.

Tilda heating pad for a teapot - step-by-step master class

Since Tilda dolls are not only people, but also animals, a cute teapot warmer in the shape of a giraffe would be an excellent option for such a craft. So, heating pad for a teapot - the master class will require:

First step. The main warmer, that is, the doll's skirt. For it, you need to cut a piece of fabric 74 by 80, and from the filler - 70 by 80. This difference is made so that the skirt can then be folded and gathered without problems, and at the same time it has the desired shape, and does not bulge in all directions .

Second step. You need to draw squares on the base material. They will be needed for further quilting of the skirt. A piece of fabric is divided in half vertically, then horizontally. Next, 15.5 cm are laid off from the center. This way you will get a lined field, and the rectangles at the edges will be narrower than the central ones.

Third step. Place the lined fabric on the padding polyester and pin it together with pins. Next, you need to sew on a machine, but do this not along the drawn lines, but retreating from them by 2-3 mm on both sides. The line drawn in this way will be between two seams. These are pockets for the frame.

Fourth step. Fold the sewing in half with the fabric side facing inward and stitch closed. After this, turn it out and fold it in half horizontally. Measure the wire and insert it into the pockets.

Fifth step. Fold the top of the skirt slightly and sew it with a hidden seam. After this, the top is gathered. Fix the assembly in such a way that, if desired, the thread can be loosened or, conversely, tightened relative to the doll’s body. The skirt is ready.

Sixth step. Transfer the pattern to the fabric - you will need 2 parts for the body, paws, ears and horns. Cut with seam allowances and sew. In the places of rounding, make notches on the allowances; this is necessary so that the parts come out without creases.

Seventh step. Turn the parts right side out, stuff with filling, and sew the edges with a blind stitch.

Eighth step. Assembly. Sew horns and ears to the head - their location and inclination can be different, everything is individual. Next, insert the giraffe inside the skirt, check the assembly, and sew the doll to the skirt. Do not sew on the paws!

Ninth step. Measure the torso, cut out two parts from colored material - for clothes. Sew the parts, fold and stitch all the edges, iron the seams. After this, sew the second edge and put it on the giraffe. Sleeves for a dress are made in the same way - with the difference that it is not necessary to measure the girth, but simply increase the paw pattern by 5-7 mm. Sew the sleeves and put them on the paws. After this, sew the paws to the body.

Tenth step. The overskirt is made of colored fabric, its size is 35 by 100 cm. The edges are decorated with lace and braid. Iron all seams, gather the top a little and put it on the petticoat. Finish the assembly “according to the figure” and fix it.

Eleventh step. Draw eyes and blush. Gently roll your hair and create a hairstyle - at least a braid. Tilda is ready!

Do-it-yourself heating pad for a teapot “Cat” - a small master class

Many people cannot imagine home comfort without a cat in the apartment. These fluffy wayward purrs really create their own atmosphere. A handmade hot water bottle in the shape of a cat will undoubtedly make tea drinking even more cozy. This is done simply and quickly. Required for work.

The ancient custom of covering the teapot with special dolls has survived to this day. Interestingly, the dolls have hardly changed. We offer you several new versions of an old invention.

The heating pads, despite some differences, are made according to the same principle, using which in the future you will be able to invent and make your own.

The basis of any heating pad is the cover. Its pattern can be very diverse, however, the process of making the cover is the same for all models. From any thick fabric, remove the two outer parts of the cover. Sew them together along the ABC line using an over-the-edge seam. Cut out exactly the same two parts and sew them from flannel. You now have the outer and inner parts of the case. Now turn both parts right side up and fold as shown in the picture. From thin foam rubber, cut two gaskets in the shape of the cover, insert them inside the outer part and, as far as possible, sew the inner and outer covers together along the AOB line. Insert the inner part of the cover into the remaining hole and straighten it so that there is foam rubber between the parts on both sides. Now sew up the hole with a “blind seam” and the heating pad cover is ready.

Covers for heating pads “Cow”, “Lion” and “Cat” are made using one pattern.

PATTERNS OF EXTERNAL DETAILS OF THE COVER OF THE KETTLE HEATER

Sometime in 1996, I came across an original Hot Water Doll for a teapot in a store. A few years later, I came across a similar model in one of the needlework magazines. I will introduce it to you. Based on this model, I then created a series of warmers dedicated to the symbols of the year according to the Chinese horoscope. I made all the patterns arbitrarily, the main thing was to fit the size of the teapot (they are also different).

We will make a blank for a warmer skirt from light chintz measuring 50x80 cm. Fold the fabric in half and put inside a strip of batting (padding polyester) in several layers, measuring 24x79

This blank needs to be quilted for the strength and stability of the skirt. We sew and get a bell skirt.

From thick knitwear or other suitable fabric we cut out 2 parts of the Monkey’s head and body. First we sew on a dress and lace for each detail.

Only then do we sew the halves together, turn them inside out, stuff them with batting through the bottom seam and sew them up.
We sew the ears to the head-body. We sew the arms long, stuff them loosely, stitch the palm, marking the fingers with seams. We sew sleeves from small rectangles, decorate them with lace, and gather the sleeve with thread where it is sewn to the body. We sew the sleeves together with the arm. We sew the body to the warmer skirt. We decorate the face. We make a hairstyle from loose yarn. We cut out the mouth from a large oval, collect it with thread around the perimeter, tighten it and stuff the resulting lump with cotton. Sew the muzzle with a hidden seam. We embroider the mouth and use beads to mark the nostrils. From beads - eyes.

Now we need to sew the overskirt. We take a rectangular piece of chintz 28x85 cm, sew on lace, braid, an apron decorated with various braids, sew on the skirt, turning the top edge 1.5 cm in order to insert the tape later. We put the skirt on top and tie the ribbon into a beautiful bow at the back of the doll.

It would be nice to give the doll a name and embroider it on the apron. This gives her a special charm.

If you get creative, you can sew other dolls, for example, a Pig.

Do-it-yourself heating pad for a teapot

The procedure for sewing a heating pad for a teapot, regardless of the model, is almost always the same. The basis of any model differs only in configuration and additional components, such as an apron, hat, bows, and the like. For any teapot warmer you need a main fabric, lining fabric, synthetic padding, various braids, threads, buttons, patterns.
We cut out the main fabric, lining fabric and padding polyester according to the pattern, having previously folded the fabric with the right side inward.

Kettle warmer PEACOCK

First of all, we decorate the cut out main part, that is, we sew on a bright braid. You can sew on colorful patches to imitate the colorful tail of a peacock. We sew the padding polyester and the lining of the heating pad together, insert it into the tail and process the edge.

For the body of the bird, a plain fabric is best suited. We cut it out according to the pattern, sew it on the wrong side, turn it right side out and carefully fill it with padding polyester. There is no need to fill it tightly with padding polyester. We cut out a beak from leather and sew it to the peacock’s head. Determine the location for the eye and sew on the button. We sew a crest onto the top of the bird's head. It can be made from braid with lurex. Now we connect the peacock’s body with the tail, and secure the head with several stitches.

Kettle warmer MOUSE

The basis of the warmer is the mouse's dress. First of all, we cut out boots 4 parts. After sewing and turning it right side out, we fill it with padding polyester. We sew the boots into the mouse's dress while processing the edge of the heating pad. When the dress is almost ready, sew a frill of fabric or lace along the edge.

Mouse head: We cut out 4 parts of the ears, sew them in pairs, turn them inside out and along the front side we will lay a stitch along the edge of the ears. We cut out 2 parts of the mouse's face, put ears between them and stitch them. Turn it inside out, fill it with padding polyester, and sew up the hole. Hair - from any thread, we braid it, tie bows. Next, we sew on a nose button (or embroider with black thread), freckles (beads), and button eyes. We sew the finished head to the dress-body.

Warmer for a teapot CAT or CAT

The cat's body is simply a cap with a frill made of fabric or lace.

Cat's head: We cut out 2 parts of the head, sew them together, turn them inside out, fill them with padding polyester, and sew up the hole. We cut out the mustache from cloth. We cut out the overlay for the muzzle, gather it around the perimeter with a strong thread, fill it with synthetic padding and sew it to the muzzle along with the mustache and tongue. Sew on the nose-button and eyes. We sew the head to the body. You can sew a tail on the cat and decorate the head with a hat.

Items such as a soft vase, cups, or a fabric teapot will help make your kitchen cozy and unique. Find out how to sew a ball from this material.

Beautiful soft vase with your own hands

To sew one, take:

• several pieces of different cotton fabric;
• rope or cord;
• needle and thread;
• pins;
• bowl;
• scissors.

Cut the fabric into strips 3 cm wide. You can make the task easier for yourself. Cut it only at the beginning, then tear it off with your hands. Wrap part of the lace with fabric, twist it, making two turns, fix it, sewing it up with a thread and a needle.

When this fabric is wound, take the second piece. Place its beginning at the end of the first one, and also wrap it around the lace.

Continue twisting the base, making turns around it. To make it more convenient, place the work on an inverted bowl or other vessel of a suitable shape. Pin the coils together.

Having fixed the row in this way, stitch it with the previous one. Remove the pins and fasten it to the next one.

Having completed the work to the end, all you have to do is cut the lace, tuck the fabric under it, and sew it to the previous turn. You have a beautiful soft vase, and also a very original one. If you want to make another one, check out how to do it.

This vase for all sorts of little things is made from scraps of fabric and old denim items. To create it, take:

• denim;
• cotton fabric;
• interlining;
• cardboard;
• sewing supplies;
• rope with a lock.

Cut out one identical square measuring 15 x 15 cm from denim and cotton fabric. Squares made of cardboard and non-woven fabric will have sides of 14 cm. You also need to cut out 4 sidewalls, the size of which is 14x7 cm.

We put cardboard on the wrong side of the denim square and non-woven fabric on it. In the photo, the white dots show where the edges of the jeans are folded. Before doing this, cut off the corners on it.

Bend the side blanks in half, tuck the sides on one side and the other, and iron. Sew them to the front side of the square.

Sew the sides to the edge, retreating 1–1.5 cm. Thread a lace into the resulting hole in the side panels, connecting them in this way. By pulling it up, you can disassemble and assemble the soft fabric vase.

Sew a fabric rectangle on the other side of the bottom, and your new original piece of furniture is ready.

Fabric teapots

They will decorate any home. Such dishes can be given, sold, or presented to children so that they can play with a safe object, arranging doll tea parties.

Enlarge the pattern on the screen, attach a sheet of A4 format to it, and redraw it.

The pattern will tell you how to sew such a teapot. As you can see, it consists of five templates. The two circles are the bottom (the larger one with wavy edges) and the lid of the teapot. You can make the edges not like this, but even. For the sidewalls, you need to cut 8 wedges for the outside and the same number for the inside. Above on the right in the photo is the curved handle of the teapot, below on the same side is its spout. You will need to cut two such blanks from the fabric.

Here's what was needed to reproduce this model:

• plain fabric and variegated, matching color;
• loose interlining;
• thread and needle;
• cotton lace;
• sewing machine.

Attach the sidewall template to the variegated fabric, cut out 8 blanks, leaving 6 mm seam allowances on all sides. Cut plain fabric in the same way.

In this example, the blanks for the façade consist of two parts. They put a braid into the seam between them, thus grinding the canvas down, then opened it.

Applying the wedges to each other, stitch them on a sewing machine into a single fabric.

In the same way, connect the wedges for the inside of the teapot.

Applying the bottom template to the variegated fabric, cut out a circle from it. Place the inner and outer sides of the teapot right sides together. Align their bottom with the round bottom, stitch along the edge.

Turn the sides right side out and place interlining between them. To separate the slices, sew between them on your hands.

Sewing a teapot with the hands of a craftswoman, that is, with her own, is very exciting. Let's start finishing it. To do this, cut 2 ribbons from fabric, each 5 cm wide. The length depends on the length of the arc of the teapot neck and bottom.

Cut out two round pieces for the bottom and lid. You will also need two cardboard circles, slightly smaller than the fabric, so that its edges can be wrapped.

Place a little non-woven fabric on the bottom fabric circle, and cardboard on it. Hand stitch the bottom to the bottom of the side panel. Turn the teapot over and sew the ribbon to the top of the teapot on the face. When placing padding polyester here, wrap this tape inward and sew it to the second edge on your hands.

Open the spout and handle of the kettle, sew paired parts on the sides. Insert padding polyester into the resulting hole.

Sew the spout on one side to the teapot on your hands, and its handle on the other.

For the lid, you also need to cut out a circle from cardboard, slightly smaller in size than the fabric blanks. Place padding polyester on the back of the fabric lid, then cardboard. Sew the front part of the lid to the back part of the lid, laying a ribbon along the edge, which we also stuff with padding polyester.

Using the same principle, make a small handle for the lid and sew it into its center.

These wonderful sewn teapots are the result of fascinating needlework.

If you want to make a set, then look at how to sew such a wonderful cup and saucer.

It is created according to the same principle as a teapot: wedges are cut out of fabric for the front and back sides, the gap between them is filled with synthetic padding, and stitched between the slices by hand. All that remains is to sew a small bottom on the bottom, hem the cup on top and sew a rounded handle to it.

The saucer can have beautiful wavy edges. It consists of two fabrics of equal size; between them you need to lay a thin rolled synthetic padding polyester or non-woven fabric. You can limit yourself to a circle made of cardboard. You will find the dimensions of the wedges for the cup and the template for the saucer in the following pattern.

Do-it-yourself heating pad for a teapot

Continuing the topic we started, let's see how to sew it. A heating pad will help the tea to brew well and will not allow the drink to cool for a long time. Let's start with a simple example, which even dressmakers with very little experience can master.

This interesting little thing will soon appear in your kitchen. Take:

• textile;
• interlining;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• small ribbon;
• pins.

Have you prepared everything you need? Then it’s time to start the master class; the heating pad for the teapot should be of such a size that it can be easily put on it. Before redrawing or printing the presented template, measure the distance from the edge of the kettle handle to the tip of the spout - this is the width of your heating pad. Add a little to make it easy to put on and take off.

Each side consists of two pieces of fabric, between them there will be a slightly smaller interlining. Pin the interlining with the fabric and quilt these 2 layers. To do this, draw oblique lines along a ruler with a pencil. Some of them are located parallel, others perpendicular.

Take threads to match the façade fabric and make stitches according to the pencil marks.

Also decorate the second part of the façade quilted fabric, fold them with the first right sides, and sew them on the sides.

From another fabric, cut out two blanks for the inside, sew them together on the sides, and turn them right side out.

Insert the inner part into the front part so that the seams of these parts are on the inside. Sew along the bottom, folding the edges of the fabric inward.

When stitching along the edges of the blank for the front and interior, leave 1 cm unsewn at the top center. Place a loop of braid here and sew up the hole on the arms.

Having mastered this simple example, you will be able to sew a chicken on a teapot, the pattern of which is attached.

Each side also consists of three layers - two fabric layers, with interlining between them. Cover the comb and beak with red fabric. Give these parts volume, stuff them with non-woven fabric, and sew them in place.

You don’t need to sew the wings, but stitch them with lace braid to define them.

Having coped with this task, move on to a more complex one. Look what a wonderful chicken and chicken recipe you can make.

Here's what you'll need:

• fabric for a dress size 35x100 cm;
• fabric for the underskirt (quilted synthetic padding or insulation);
• 1 m of bias tape;
• 1.5 m lace;
• filler (sintepon, synthetic fluff, holofiber);
• for the eyes, pieces of felt (white or black) or plastic;
• felt or fleece;
• shadows, blush or pastel pencils;
• pattern paper;
• silicone gun or fabric glue;
• threads, needle;
• tailor's chalk;
• regular and zigzag scissors;
• tape measure.

This teapot warmer begins with sewing two skirts, the first is internal, which retains heat, the second is decorative. For the first, take lining insulation or quilted fabric, measuring 30x70 cm. If you don’t have either one, then make the fabric yourself. To do this, you will need two rectangles of the same size made of fabric, one of padding polyester. We put padding polyester between the fabric rectangles, sew them with transverse strips, the distance between which is 7 cm. There should be 10 of them.

We decorate the side edges and the bottom with bias tape, in the photo it is pink. We collect the upper side, which is not framed with bias tape, using thread. In this case, the opposite edges should overlap.

We cut the overskirt from fabric measuring 35x100 cm. Finish the edges with an overlocker, hem the bottom of the skirt, and stitch lace onto it. Connect the side edges and stitch.

From the same fabric, cut out a semicircular pocket measuring 16 by 10 cm, and sew it on all sides with an overlocker. Gather a strip of lace 40 cm long and stitch it to the rounded part of the pocket.

Place the pocket on the front panel of the skirt, pin it in place, then sew it here. Gather the top of the skirt with a strong thread and secure. Place the top of the skirt on its bottom, sew on the waistband on the arms.

Here's how to make such a heating pad for a teapot; you need to cut out the sleeves for the chicken's dress with your own hands. To do this, take two rectangles of fabric measuring 15 x 35 cm. Process them with an overlocker, fold the 2 short sides together, and stitch. Just above the lace, gather the bottom of the sleeves onto the thread with a needle. Stuff the sleeves with padding polyester and sew them in place.

From the main fabric, cut a square with sides of 15 cm. Cut off its corners to make a circle. Sew along the edge with a basting stitch, tighten the thread, but not completely, but so as to fill the resulting part with padding polyester. You will sew it inside the skirt.

There is very little left to get the teapot warmer ready; do-it-yourself hen and chick patterns will help you complete the job.

Reshoot them.

Where it says “do not sew” on the pattern, there is no need to sew down the details. Please note how many blanks you will need for each item.

Cut the chicken out of yellow felt or fleece, cut the chicken's head out of white, cut the comb, beard and beak out of red material. Sew paired wing blanks on the wrong side, finish the edges with a zigzag, and turn them right side out. Place it in the sleeves of the dress and sew it on.

Glue the eyes in place, sew the beaks of the hen and chick. Sew paired parts of the comb and beards, stuff them with padding poly, and sew them on the hands to the heads of the characters.

All that remains is to add beauty to the chicken by applying blush to her cheeks. Instead of chicken, you can put tea and coffee bags in her pocket.

This is such a wonderful teapot warmer in the shape of a chicken. Let's see how to make another interesting fabric item to delight very young children.

Soft fabric ball for children

This one is intended for children under 2 years old. They will be able to touch the ball by its ribs, roll it, and throw it up. For needlework take:

• several pieces of fabric of different colors;
• soft filler;
• a needle;
• saucer;
• threads

You will also need a sewing machine. Place the saucer on the scraps of fabric, outline it, cut it out, leaving a seam allowance. If you want the ball to be a little larger, use a dessert plate for the template.

Sew these circles in pairs, leaving one small pocket on both sides for stuffing them with padding polyester.

In total you need to create 5-6 such blanks. To avoid unnecessary gatherings at the seam, cut it in several places with scissors. Fold these blanks in a stack so that the pockets for stuffing the filling are on the outside, stitch them in the center.

Gradually fill each slice with padding polyester and sew up the holes.

One ball is ready. If you want to see how to make the second one, check out the process.

To make one, take: scraps of fabric; filler; threads; a needle; scissors.

For one ball, you need to cut out 8 oval blanks and two round ones, bend the edges inward by 6 mm and iron them.

In the photographs, three balls are created at once. Stitch all the pieces on the sides one by one.

To make sewing easier, pin the parts of the sides of the ball in pairs and stitch them on one side. Then pin together the paired elements and sew them together.

As a result, you should end up with a ball like this, which you need to fill through the remaining unsewn hole with padding polyester. Once this is done, sew it up on your arms.

To make the ball neat, sew a round piece of fabric on both sides, after which another masterpiece of needlework is ready. See how to make a teapot out of fabric.

The second video contains interesting ideas for you. After familiarizing yourself with them, many will also want to create a knitted heating pad for a teapot or from fabric.

Our detailed master class will tell you how to decorate the kitchen and sew a heating pad for a teapot. For modern housewives, the kitchen is one of the most important places in the house. Where, if not in the kitchen, does the housewife spend most of her time? This is actually our workplace. And our mood depends on how comfortable it is in our kitchen. And in order to make it cozy, you can decorate the kitchen with handmade crafts. This does not require large financial expenditures. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a sewing machine. All crafts can be sewn by hand. All you need is time and patience. We will have a warmer for the teapot in light colors.

Pink kitty

To work you will need:

1. A piece of basic light fabric.
2. A piece of fabric for lining.
3. A piece of thin foam rubber or thick fabric (thick napkins for cleaning are sold in hardware stores - these are also suitable).
4. Pieces of felt for the muzzle and nose.
5. Ball or bead.
6. Ribbon for decoration.
7. A piece of tartan fabric for edging and loops.
8. Needle.
9. Scissors.

We draw parts of the required sizes by hand. The size of the heating pad depends on the size of the kettle. Cut out the drawn details from paper.

We fold the main fabric, lining and insulation in half. Place the pattern on the fabric, trace it, cut it out with a seam allowance. We should get:

1. The main part of the heating pad is 2 pcs.
2. Lining - 2 pcs.
3. Insulation - 2 pcs.
4. Tail - 2 pcs.
5. Muzzle made of main fabric - 2 pcs.
6. Paws - 4 pcs.
7. Heart, nose, cheeks - 1 pc.

Sew a felt heart to the main part. We take the threads in the colors of the main fabric. We cover the bottom of the heating pad with a checkered fabric for edging.

Sew on the edging. We make a loop from plaid fabric.

Sew together the two parts of the tail on your hands. Smooth it with an iron.

Turn it right side out and stuff it with padding polyester.

Sew a loop and a tail on the cat.

We sew together all the parts of the heating pad. We should have lining fabric on top.

We sew felt cheeks to the muzzle.

We make a red nose: we sew red thread in a circle, then we will tighten the thread.

We tighten the red thread and stuff the nose with padding polyester.

Sew on the nose and make pink specks of the mustache.

We embroider black closed cat eyes.

From the wrong side we sew the cat's face. We leave space at the bottom of the muzzle for stuffing with padding polyester.

We stuff it with padding polyester and sew up the bottom of the muzzle until the end.

Sew the two legs together, leaving room for stuffing.

We stuff the paws with padding polyester, sew them up and sew the muzzle and paws to the heating pad.

We decorate the Cat with a bow and a ball, and sew it on.

This is what should happen on the reverse side. Front view:

This is such a beautiful heating pad.

Tabby cat

For work we will need:

1. Main fabric (color as desired).
2. White lining fabric.
3. Scissors, thread.
4. Paper for the diagram.
5. Pencil.
6. Cardboard.

Now let's get to work and start with the fact that we need to measure the teapot. We measure at its widest part and add a few more centimeters to the figure so that the heating pad can be put on freely. Then we divide this figure in half, based on the resulting figure we need to cut out two parts for the body of the heating pad. We will cut them out from the main fabric, making seams for allowances. Now we cut out the overlay for the muzzle and ears (2 parts).

Take the white lining fabric and cut out the lining for the ears, and the long strip will become the tail. For lining the ears, we cut out two parts, and we will not leave allowances, since we will not need them. If you choose a warm fabric, then sewing will be much easier. If, after all, you are sewing from light fabric, then we need to insulate the cat with a thin layer of padding polyester, and then sew the lining. You will end up with a neat interior made of light fabric and a synthetic padding on the outside.

Now we sew the ears, you need to make small folds on the inside of the ears, and turn them inside out. Let's proceed to the upper part of the heating pad, it needs to be sewn on both sides, insert the ready-made ears and continue sewing along the seam line. We need to insert a loop in the same way. We make the loop from the main fabric to match the color of the cat. We turn the finished body inside out and put the lining on it.

Now you need to carefully sew the lining to the top seal bag, while matching all the side seams. We make a tail, cut it out of the main fabric, then sew up one of the short sections, this is the tip of the tail, and turn it inside out. After this, we stuff the tail with padding polyester; this should be done in small pieces, pushing one after another.

We make an overlay for the cat's face. Its inner insert will be a cardboard oval. It should be slightly smaller than a fabric oval. To make the muzzle more prominent, we lay a thin layer of padding polyester between the oval of cardboard and fabric. We sew an “over the edge” seam around the edge of the fabric, then insert a cardboard oval and tighten the thread. This is how we got the overlay. We sew it to the body. In this case, the seam should not run along the edge, but in the fold between the body and the lining. Now you can sew on the tail and decorate the face, and the warmer for the cat teapot is ready.
