Pattern and fabric for sewing pillows
The pattern is created very simply - download a picture with the outline of a cloud that you like. Print, if there is no printer, attach a white sheet of paper to the screen and draw the outline with a pencil. Cut the cloud around the contour.
At this stage, you can improvise as much as possible, the cloud can be made whatever you want.
Now it remains to transfer the pattern from the paper to the selected material for the piece, for example, to cardboard or drawing paper. Attach the cutout cloud to the cardboard and begin to draw, but not along the contour, but retreating from it to the selected length.After all, the printed cloud is of small size, so you will have to retreat from it by 20-30 centimeters or even more, depending on the selected size of the finished product.
First you need to decide on the size of the pillow.
Transferring the pattern on the piece, cut with scissors. Done! Later, the piece is applied to the fabric, and is circled with chalk, taking into account the indentation - about two centimeters. There are no special criteria for the choice of fabric, but it is undesirable to take stretching one. Perfect fleece, because it is pleasant to the touch.
We double the fabric so that we have 2 identical parts.

Sewing pillows
There is nothing difficult when sewing a pillow there, the main thing is to do everything neatly. If it is planned to decorate the product with a ribbon or lace along the edge, then immediately after cutting two pieces of the pillow from the canvas, one of them is sewn with a ribbon on the wrong side. It is better to sew the ribbon, slightly bending, to get a beautiful curly line.
Cut out with allowances of about 1-1.5 cm.
Cut out the two parts of the future cloth pads, taking into account two centimeters of space. If you plan to embroider a picture or attach an appliqué to one of the sides of the craft, then do it before you begin to sew the pad.
We sew along the contour on a typewriter with a usual seam, leaving a hole at the bottom of about 30 cm, it is possible less.
Fold the two parts face down. Manually or on a typewriter stitch along the edge (including indents) two parts, leaving about ten centimeters to turn out the product. Now fill the craft with a compactor. Handle the hole very carefully.
Through the hole we will fill our cushion for volume.
For the basis of the filler, you can take the usual synthetic winterizer.
Then you can fill the pillow with padding polyester cut into pieces.
Pour pillow over the bare edge.
We connect the two edges with the hem of the fabric inside and sew on the machine around the edge.
Pillow-cloud ready. If you want to make a whole composition of the pads, then save this pattern. You can make several different products and decorate them with a room.
It turns out that there is such a cute pillow that will fit perfectly into the interior of any children's room.
For the base, it is better to choose monochromatic fabrics or denser fabrics of the top, so that the pattern is not visible.
