There is nothing easier than sewing cat pillows with your own hands. Pillows in the house perform several functions: they make the house cozier, decorate it and serve as armrests and headrests. Now you won’t surprise anyone with store-bought ones, but cat pillows sewn with your own hands are quite likely. Sew or knit interesting pillows and stencils to your taste, it’s quite within your power.
It is very pleasant to lie on the couch, relax, soak up with your pet. And when he is not around (someone must hunt), then a beautiful pillow with cat symbols will be a pleasant reminder. Probably the easiest way is to draw a cat on the fabric.
Although, there are other ways to make a bright pillow, for example, deliberately choose a colorful fabric and cut out details from it.
Or choose a material and take it to a workshop that specializes in thermal transfer printing - they will “draw” what you want, and you will also cut out details from this canvas and make something unusual, creative.
Still, it's nice to do something on your own. Stencils are perfect for this type of pillow. The drawing can be done with acrylic paints or special ones for textiles.
Stencils can also be made independently from scratch, or a complex drawing with some details on thick paper, or you can take a finished drawing. For cutting, it is worth using a clerical knife, carry out the process itself by placing a sheet with a pattern on a wooden cutting board or a sheet of plywood specially designated for this.
To get the desired drawing, you can do without printing it. Just transfer it to paper or tracing paper directly from the monitor.
Fleece
We will need: a small piece of fleece of the desired color, a piece of light beige or milky felt, sewing threads to match the main fabric, holofiber, brown iris (or floss) threads, a fabric marker, needles, pins, scissors, lace, ribbons, buttons, beads to decorate your cat or kitty. Pattern with centimeter scale: 
We sew two cats at once, so we have more details in the photo. We fold the fleece in half, transfer the pattern to the fabric, it is very convenient to do this with a disappearing fabric marker.
We sew our details on a sewing machine along the contour, cut out with an allowance of 0.5 cm.
We make an incision on one layer in the area and turn the body inside out. We also cut one layer of the tail in the upper part and turn it inside out.
We stuff the body and tail with holofiber.
We sew up the holes through which the cat and tail were stuffed with matching threads.
We mark it with a disappearing marker, embroider the muzzle with iris or floss threads.
We try on our muzzle on the cat's body, closing the sewn incision, fix it with pins. With a seam over the edge, we sew the muzzle with threads to match the felt.
We try on and sew a tail with a hidden seam so that the cat can lean on it and stand on its own.
That's it, the cat is ready.
It remains to decorate it according to your desire - with bows, braid, flowers, skirts, buttons - with everything your imagination tells you! See how different cats can be:
sleeping cat
A cat in the house can most often be found on a sofa or in an armchair. She loves to sleep. Let's try to sew a decorative pillow with a sleeping cat's face. It looks so much like her.
For work we need:
- A piece of fabric (color optional).
- Threads, scissors.
- Pattern.
- Disappearing marker for fabric.
- Interlining.
We select fabric for the future pillow, the choice of which is unlimited. It all depends on what exactly you have on hand at the moment. For living rooms, any kind of fabric is suitable; for a children's room, a pillow can be made from old children's things with a funny pattern.
We transfer the pattern of the main part to the fabric using a disappearing marker.
We cut out the part, while leaving about one centimeter for allowances. Now we transfer the pattern of the main part to the interlining, trace and cut along the contour. We do the same with the second part of the part, we make it from fleece. We make a pattern of legs, tail and ears and cut it out. It is also necessary to duplicate the details.
Using an iron, we glue one part of the main part with interlining. Now we take all the small details: paws, tail and ears, fold them in pairs with the front side. After that, we grind each part on a typewriter along the edge, leaving a small hole for stuffing. We process all the edges of each part with zigzag scissors or we do it with ordinary scissors. After that, we turn it on the front side and stuff it with any filler, and sew the holes with a zigzag stitch.
All the details are ready, which means we need to sew them to the main part. To do this, use pins and fix each detail in the right place. With the help of a disappearing marker, draw a muzzle on the pillow. We turn over and put a fleece piece on top, sew it together, leaving room for filling. Turn right side out, smooth out all seams. The pillow can now be stuffed to the desired density with any stuffing, we sew up the hole. Now we sew the paws, for this we use buttons. We embroider the muzzle with dark-colored floss threads. The cat pillow is ready, you can decorate it with a bow, heart and other applique if you wish. On such things, a drawing made with acrylic paint looks good enough.
Give your kitty a gift - a sleeping cat pillow. It looks on the sofa - just great, but guests like this one, so it can be a great hand-made gift.
You can decorate the neck with a bow or hang a medallion on it - there will be a cat with decoration. The pillow will look great on your sofa!

The front and back legs and tail are knit in stockinette stitch. We knit the desired length, first we make reductions (we knit two loops together and tighten the rest with a thread).
On the other hand, we knit the paws: with white threads we knit three from each loop to get a white foot. You can not fill the length, but we fill the brush and foot with synthetic winterizer, embroider fingers. We decorate the muzzle with an application.

Sew the first strip to the base of the pillow, stepping back 1 cm from the edges. This is the result you should get.

Children's territory in the space of a house or apartment is always a special area, to which more stringent requirements are imposed, since it affects both the mood of the child and his health. Soft toys - pillows for a children's room occupy not the last place in the improvement and interior design. They can become not only a convenient decoration, but also good friends for your children.
Actually, it's a great idea to combine two products and create one that will be both useful and interesting for a child. There are ordinary ones, there are soft toys, and now there are toys - pillows. They can be used for both sleeping and playing. Convenient and practical.
REQUIREMENTS FOR TOYS - PILLOWS FOR CHILDREN
1. First of all, they must be made of materials that are safe for the child. Do not have a strong smell, do not have painted surfaces, do not irritate the skin of the child and be hypoallergenic.
2. When decorating such pillows, various elements are sometimes used, such as: buttons, beads, buttons and other accessories. It is necessary to choose a product on which all these elements will be tightly fixed or absent altogether.
All toy pillows look a little primitive compared to real toys that are fully consistent with their character. The pillow is made much simpler, but it looks no less decorative and interesting.
Currently, many needlewomen have become interested in this direction, since, in fact, there is nothing complicated in making such pillows, but in return the master gets a lot of pleasure from the very process of creating such original beauty. It is enough to turn on the fantasy and you can come up with a lot of wonderful characters that the baby will like, especially if he already has his favorite characters.
I propose to plunge into the pillow-toy world together and see what you can choose from this variety. It so happened that among these decorative products there were several areas in which the largest number of options were created. The most popular are pillows in the form of animals.
CAT PILLOWS
There are a huge number of them from a variety of materials. They can be textile and knitted. Everyone has different outlines, but, undoubtedly, everyone recognizes in them the image of a cat or a cat. Some of them are serious, and there are such humorous ones that it is impossible to look at them without a smile. You look, and the bad mood will disappear in a moment).
Pillows - cats are divided into two camps: daytime active cats and cats - scops. You can have both at home. Active use for games, and spy for sleep.
You can even put a whole cat family in the house. To each come up with a name and take care of them as if they were real.
OWL PILLOWS
Unlike real live owls, pillow toy owls are very bright, which makes them even more attractive. Inconspicuous in nature, they turn into bright fabulous creatures.
And some, more trained, can become the keepers of various gadgets, remotes and phones.
PILLOW LETTERS
Soft toys - pillows for a children's room can also have educational value. These include pillows - letters. This is a very interesting topic, because the child will constantly see not only a pillow, but also educational material in front of his eyes every day. How quickly and easily do you think he can learn these letters? Especially if his own name consists of them.
The collection of pillows - letters can be replenished and, in the end, the whole alphabet can be assembled. For a child, these will no longer be just strange hieroglyphs in a book, but very real objects that are always nearby, each of which has its own name and can be touched.
All family members will have their own letters, and they will be enough for the whole house.
PILLOWS - ELEPHANTS
In size, they often exceed the rest of the characters. They are, after all, elephants.) Moreover, as befits decorative heroes, they come in a variety of colors: from pink to green.
CUSHIONS CUSHIONS
Sofa cushions come in different types, some of them are in the form of rollers, in an oriental manner. Toy pillows can also have this shape. For this, a character suitable in appearance is chosen as a prototype. As a rule, these are dachshunds, cats, mice, crocodiles, caterpillars and other animals.
How to sew a pillow with your own hands? Every needlewoman thought about this. A pillow is needed not only for sleeping, with it you can make the design of the apartment complete and original.
After looking at photos of homemade pillows on the Internet, you might think that sewing requires experience and talent. But having understood the very process of creating a pillow, it turns out that it is not at all difficult.
Let's see how to make a pillow with your own hands?
The most important thing to know before you get started
Before you start sewing a decorative pillow with your own hands, you need to decide exactly how it will look. But more important than this is to choose the fabric and filler.
If you want to make a multifunctional pillow, it is important to choose a fabric that can be easily cleaned. The filler should not fall into dense lumps for as long as possible, losing its elasticity.
Materials. Textile
To make a durable, practical and beautiful pillow, you need to choose the right fabric.
Firstly, it should not be strongly electrified and attract any dust to itself, it can be easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
Secondly, the material must prevent dust from entering the packing. Suitable fabrics:
- Atlas
- Crepe satin
- Upholstery fabrics
- bike
- linen fabrics
You can use other fabrics, except for propylene matting. It is slippery, rough and hard, so it is not suitable for a soft pillow.
Stuffing
The pillow can be stuffed with many materials. It can be cotton wool, bird fluff or feathers, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, holofiber and many others.
Let's deal with each filler:
Cotton wool and synthetic winterizer fall into lumps at great speed. At the same time, it is almost impossible to evenly fill the product with cotton wool.
Feathers and down are not suitable not only because of the difficult accessibility, but also because of insufficient elasticity. No one will beat up a decorative pillow like a sleeping pillow, so as not to spoil the beautiful finish.
Hollofiber is readily available, available in two forms: sheets and fluffy granules. Sheet is more expensive, it can be replaced with cheaper foam rubber. Hollofiber is well suited for a pillow. It serves for about 10 years without rolling.
Another filler option is round silicone granules. They are best for baby pillows because they are hypoallergenic and can be easily poured out, rinsed, dried and put back in through a small hole.
Decoration. Colors
The easiest way to decorate the interior is to do it with pillows of different colors. Of course, they should match the colors of the interior items: furniture, curtains or even walls.
This is sometimes a difficult task - to achieve a combination - but very popular. From pillows of different colors, you can make an ensemble that will emphasize all the advantages of the interior.
The most interesting thing is that the idea with colorful pillows is not only easy to implement, but also financially affordable.
Note!
Do not stop the choice only on plain fabrics, materials with patterns and ornaments will look advantageous.
Seal
Recently, printing on fabrics has become more and more popular. Why not print on the pillow? This is an affordable option for decorating your product: printing prices are not very high, the pattern is stable and clear.
With the help of numerous computer programs, you can make a design in advance and even see how the ensemble will look in the interior.
Shape and Fragment
Pillows can be made in absolutely any shape. There are no restrictions in this, the main thing is to show imagination. You can use the technique of modular sewing. To do this, several simple parts are made, which are subsequently sewn in place into a complex product.
The disadvantage of this method is that it is quite difficult to clean. You must either completely disassemble the product, or use a furniture vacuum cleaner.
Note!
Patchwork or patchwork is also used. Most often, they take a key fragment and place it in the center. The fragments combined with it are located along the periphery. Simple but very effective!
key element
The compact key element adds a touch of sophistication to the throw pillow. Such an element can be a button, tassels, bows and much more. There are also no restrictions.
You can ennoble a product from a modest fabric with the help of a key element. With it, the finished product will look richer and more expensive, so you can use technical or furniture upholstery fabrics that do not differ in bright colors.
Knitting, embroidery, lace
Knitted sofa cushions are more difficult to make than just sewn from fabric. You must be able to knit or crochet - this is a laborious craft that requires care.
However, so is embroidery. On the pillow, you can embroider any plot with satin stitch, cross or ribbons. Here, too, everything depends on your skill, imagination and perseverance.
You can also decorate the product with lace. Of course, it is easier to buy ready-made lace in a store, but it will be much more expressive if you make the lace yourself.
Note!
Just imagine the faces of guests who saw pillows completely made by you.
To make a pillow, you can use, for example, an old sweater. The effect will be the same as from a self-bonded cover. Optionally, it can be decorated with various beads, buttons, and so on.
Cushion embroidery
As mentioned earlier, you can decorate the pillow with any embroidered plots, but you can not do them in any technique that you own.
Therefore, do not embroider with beads on the pillow. Why? It's just unhygienic. It will be problematic to wash out all the dirt from under the beads, but what got into the beads itself will remain there forever. Yes, and think about whether it will be comfortable to lie on such a pillow?
Cross stitch is best because it is the most durable. You can wash such a product without worrying that the threads will come out. You can use the smooth surface, but when washing the threads weaken, and the pattern loses its attractiveness.
From old clothes
So, you can make a pillow out of old sweaters, but what else can I use? Yes, whatever! Old T-shirts, sweaters, T-shirts - everything that is lying around in your closet and waiting in line for a landfill.
You can even use jeans. The product will turn out not so soft, but it will look very original.
figurines
These pillows are perfect for a child's room. They can simply stand on a bed or even a shelf, pleasing to the eye and finishing the nursery design. They can serve as toys or serve their intended purpose.
The figurine pillow can be of absolutely any shape, the main thing is that you and your kids like it.
Funny letters
With the help of such pillows, the child will quickly learn the letters. Often letters or numbers are sewn for the holidays. Letters can also serve as toys too.
Sleeping on them is sometimes not very comfortable, but they look great in the interior.
For the manufacture of large letters, it is better to use foam rubber, and fill only the edges with holofiber. In this way, you can stuff any large pillows.
Sides
Every mother of a baby knows the problem: how to protect the child from bumps while sleeping in a crib? The child has already been saved from falling from the crib, but what to do with these hard sides that the child constantly hits in his sleep?
For these purposes, you can also sew a pillow! Foam rubber is best for boards. It is dense and will not allow the child to feel the fences upon impact.
You can sheathe the foam rubber with any soft fabric that the child will not be allergic to. In order for the side pillow to hold, it is necessary to sew on fabric ties with which the pillow will stay in the crib.
Any pillow, regardless of its shape, size and design, will fit perfectly into any interior.
Easy to manufacture, not requiring special talent and skills, these products will turn a boring and dull apartment into an original and cozy place to relax.
DIY pillow photo
This pillow can also be a toy for your baby.
Creating beautiful, unique, sweet little things is the most pleasant and exciting experience. Making a pillow toy, among other things, is a manifestation of love and care for your child.
In order to make a pillow toy with your own hands, you will need: patterns, threads, needles, fabric, filler, a little work and imagination. Your efforts will certainly be rewarded with genuine delight of the baby.

At the same time, pillows can be very diverse. Before sewing a pillow, remember the child's preferences, his favorite cartoon characters. Remember where he likes to spend his time, the more interested he is.
