Do-it-yourself warmers for a teapot: creating a pattern, selecting fabric for the base and suit

Tabby cats

This set of cat warmers will create a cheerful mood in any kitchen. The main thing in this model of warmers is to choose a nice fabric and play with it when sewing.

We measure the teapot or pan according to its largest diameter and add about 4 cm for free fitting. Divide the resulting amount by two. This will be the width of one half of the product. We cut out the two main parts, not forgetting the seam allowances.

We also cut out the overlay for the muzzle and ears (2 parts).

We cut out the lining for the ears from white fabric. For the tail, cut out a long strip.

From white fabric we cut out the linings for the main parts without allowances. You can immediately use a warm cloth for this.

The second option is to use synthetic winterizer for insulation.

We assemble the inner cap. On the outside there is synthetic padding.

We sew the ears together, slightly adjusting the colored fabric. Sew a small fold on the white fabric.

Finished ears - see photo.

We make a loop from colored fabric.

We fold the parts of the colored cap with the right sides inward, put in the ears, a loop and sew along the upper contour

When inserting your ears, make sure that their tops are directed towards the center

We turn the part inside out and put it on the white cap.

Match the side seams and stitch the parts along the bottom edge.

Sew the tail along the long side.

Then on a short one. We turn the part inside out.

Fill with filler, pushing small pieces of padding polyester through.

To cover the muzzle, cut out an insert from cardboard. If desired, you can make the overlay fluffy by placing padding polyester between the cardboard insert and the fabric.

And if you want the cat to have beautiful and embossed underpads, as in the photo, then assemble the overlay along the contour, putting the filler inside. Sew a bean bag in the center - see photo above.

We process the edge of the part with a seam over the edge, slightly gathering it.

Place the fabric over the insert and tighten the thread.

It turned out to be a beautiful overlay.

We apply the overlay to the main part and sew it on.

In this case, we place the seam inside the fold, between the main part and the overlay.

Sew on the tail. We make eyes and attach them to the muzzle.

How to correctly cut out the parts of a teapot warmer

Each part needs to be cut out 2 pieces

.
an allowance of along the bottom of the walls and lining , and 7-10 mm on the other sides.
Cut out the padding polyester according to the pattern of the lining. The exception is the roof: since its lower edge will be decorated with scallops, first fold the bottom of the fabric to the front side by 4-5 cm, and only after that make a vertical fold. From the bottom fold, step back 10-15 mm upward and attach the roof pattern, with an allowance of 7-10 mm on the side and top. There is no need to cut the bottom.

The author of the lesson slightly changed the pattern, making the roof sharper.

Owl

To sew such a heating pad we need:

coffee-colored fleece;
felt in white, yellow, black and blue colors;
felt or fleece of carrot color;
cotton fabric for the inner cover;
threads, needles, scissors, sewing machine.

Description

We draw out 1⁄2 of the pattern for half of the main part according to the size of our teapot, and cut it out.

Fold the coffee-colored fleece in half and cut out the main piece with seam allowances. Then we cut out a second similar one.

We straighten out the details.

We cut out the details of the inner cover from cotton fabric.

We cut out decorative details - blue feathers, white eyes, black pupils.

We cut out the wings and beak from carrot-colored material.

We cut out feathers and eyebrows from yellow felt.

On one of the main parts we lay out the elements of the owl's face. We fix them with pins.

Sew on with matching threads by hand or by machine.

We fold the two main parts inside out and sew along the upper contour.

Next, we will sew a cover from cotton fabric.

We put the main cover into a cotton fabric cover with the right sides facing each other.

Sew the bottom seam, leaving a gap for turning.

Turn the toy inside out and straighten it out.

We tuck the inner cover under the outer one. Sew up the gap with hidden stitches.

Sewing a heating pad

To sew a simple heating pad or cover, you need to take the main fabric of any color, insulated lining fabric, scissors, an awl, thread, chart paper, pencil and cardboard. First you need to decide on the dimensions of the future product. To do this, take measurements using paper. Using the created paper patterns, make fabric samples.

Pattern of a simple model

After their formation, create an insulated lining for the finished product. At this point the product can be considered complete. At the end, you can decorate the heating pad as you wish. For example, you can complement it with stripes or a voluminous toy.

Making a Tilda doll with your own hands

Tea Baba Tilda is a Norwegian model of a curvaceous doll, which has gained immense popularity among the Russian people. For work we will need:

Fabric (use natural threads such as linen, satin, calico).
Sintepon as a filler.
Yarn, buttons, ribbons, lace pieces to decorate our doll.
Threads, needles, scissors, glue.

Step-by-step diagram-instructions for the master:

We prepare patterns (we take the dimensions from the teapot and add a few centimeters to the seams).
Using the templates, we cut out blanks from fabric.
Place the fabric pieces right sides facing each other.
We overcast the edges of the product, leaving free space at the bottom.
Sew the edges according to the outline. We turn the product inside out and fill it with holofiber. We sew it up tightly.
Now we need to make a wide skirt, which, in fact, will cover the teapot. To do this, cut out the skirt parts according to the template. We sew a layer of insulation along the inner surface.
We close the finished part in a circle and sew it to the finished woman.
Let's start decorating the doll (don't forget about the aesthetic aspect of using the woman).
We make hair from yarn. You can form a neat bun, hem a colored scarf, a hairpin, or a bow.
We draw cheeks, eyes, mouth with gouache.
You can add a miniature apron made of plaid fabric. Such a woman will look like a lively and hospitable hostess.

Thanks to the layer of filler and natural fabrics, Baba Tilda will retain the rich aroma and temperature of the tea drink.

Baba made from yarn and stockings

What makes this model different from the rest? The simplicity of production and the pliability of the materials were appreciated by beginning needlewomen, and experienced craftsmen have long left this technique in their arsenal. The advantage of the technique: no work with patterns is required. For work we will need:

Nylon (you will definitely have a pair of old tights in your closet).
Yarn or floss.
Filler.
Fabric base and padding polyester for the skirt.
Threads, needles.

Step-by-step diagram-instructions for the master:

First, let's work on creating the tumbler doll itself. Take a stocking or the cut end of nylon tights. We stuff the cut with cotton wool. We tie the upper edge of the product with a strip of nylon.
Using a needle and thread, we sew individual parts, forming the curves of our doll’s face: nose, cheeks, mouth, arms and legs.
Sew on toy eyes or glue them.
Now you need to hide the tuft of nylon on the woman’s head. To do this, we form a bun of hair from threads, which we glue on top of a tightly tied knot.
Next we do the same work as in the previous method. After all, the direct purpose of the woman is to preserve the heat and aroma of tea. Therefore, we prepare the hem details and hem the padding polyester. We attach the finished part to a tumbler doll.

Baba is ready, you can make tea!

Classic tea doll

This model is a cap made of natural fabrics with filling. For work we will need:

Main fabric (linen, cotton, chintz), decorative fabrics (guipure).
Filler (cotton wool or padding polyester).
Threads, needles.
Scissors.
Patterns or template.

Step-by-step diagram-instructions for the master:

We take measurements of the kettle. We transfer the results to paper and prepare patterns.
Using the template, we cut out blanks from the main fabric: we need four parts.
We stack the blanks in twos, laying a layer of insulation between them. We sew the edges of the blanks.
Next, you need to combine the resulting parts into one. To do this, we lay them on top of each other with the front side facing out, stitch them, leaving the lower edge of the product free. If you have rough, unattractive seams, decorate them with guipure or sew them with large colored stitches.
Multi-colored patches can be attached to the front and back surfaces of a traditional baba-warmer. Sew the colored areas with diagonal seams and get a touch of home comfort at every tea party.

Baba amulet

This model is distinguished by one single detail - it does not have a face. The creation technique is not at all different from the technology for making a tilde or a classic model.

We got acquainted with the main types of teapot dolls. Of course, real craftswomen come up with new and original models of tea women every day. Imagination and skillful hands create real miracles. If you have any difficulties studying the material, you can always get acquainted with online lessons on working on the presented models. Imagine, create, and let your tea party be a holiday every day!

Let's get acquainted with tradition and the Russian tea doll

The skill of using heating pads to brew tea originated in England. But it was in Russia that it acquired the scale of a folk tradition, and instead of a standard heating pad they began to use beautiful homemade dolls.

What role does a woman play when brewing tea?

To understand the basics of making a fabric doll, you need to know what functions it performs:

Baba on the teapot retains heat for as long as possible, and the drink remains hot.
Some types of fabrics do not allow vapors of phytoncides and tannins to pass through, which allows the aroma and richness of tea to be preserved.
Aesthetic role. Decorative decoration does not have to be used only for a holiday or cultural event. You can introduce the tradition into your family, and then every tea party will be a holiday for you and your children.
Family amulet or talisman. Many families to this day decorate their homes with symbolic amulets, one of which is a magnificent doll.

What models will we look at today?

History includes dozens of different versions of tea women, but not all models have survived to this day in practice. We will analyze the techniques for creating the following types of dolls:

Classic tea doll.
Tilde.
Baba made from yarn and stockings.
Baba-amulet (in various sources you can find another name - “bereginya”).

Knitted teapot warmer with roses

Using my simple example, I’ll tell you how to make a heating pad for a teapot, and you can use your imagination and make it your own.

We have already crocheted a chicken for a teapot, today a warmer for a teapot with roses.

We use leftover yarn. They can always find interesting uses. I have a selection of ideas from leftover yarn, some quite interesting, and some downright unusual.

For the cover itself I used green yarn, for the flowers I chose pink. I took knitting needles number 2.5.

We cast on approximately 41 loops + 2 edge loops across the width of half the diameter of the teapot. You can tie the heating pad so that it sits tightly on the teapot, especially if it will perform a practical function, or you can make it looser.

We knit the fabric with the selected pattern. I knitted with an elastic band:

Row 1 – k1, p1.

2nd row – k1, yarn over, purl

3rd and all the following rows: knit the front row together with the yarn over, yarn over, remove the back row.

Having knitted about 10 centimeters, I switched to knitting in stockinette stitch. We begin to make decreases: in each front row I knitted two loops together in four places: along the edges and in the middle part.

Having knitted 6-7 centimeters in this way, we close the remaining loops, tightening them.

We knit the second half of the cover in the same way.

Then we sew both parts on both sides at the top and bottom, about two centimeters long. We need unsewn slots for the spout and handle of the teapot.

We put a knitted heating pad on the teapot and decorate it with roses.

I also knitted roses. I knitted the strips using stockinette stitch on 65 stitches, 8 rows wide. We twist the strips into roses, securing them with a needle and thread.

In the description I found of knitting such a heating pad, it was also recommended to knit a round platform-lid and sew roses on it. But I decided to sew the roses directly onto the knitted cover.

As you can see, it is very easy to knit a heating pad for a teapot.

You can knit the cover another way: with straight fabric, without decreasing the loops. Make it higher and tie it with braid on top of the teapot.

The side seams can have button closures or ribbon ties.

And make the decor not only with roses, but also with other flowers, as well as ladybugs, berries, pom-poms, use various patterns, knit a heating pad for a teapot in the shape of a pumpkin, house, cat or dog.

First master class

Hotty cock

For the base you will need:

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 a simple paper pattern. To do this, you need to measure the circumference of the kettle, 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 there is no padding polyester, then batting or any other insulation will do.

Popular articles Beautiful jars for the kitchen

For the reverse side, you need a thinner, but again, cotton material, cambric or chintz. For the manufacture of small parts, such as a comb, beak and beard, try to find dense, preferably red, fabric. But this is also not a prerequisite. It is convenient to use felt, 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. We add three layers of our future heating pad in the 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 with pins or basting to each other, with the seam inward, not forgetting to first place the pre-sewn small elements in their places: the comb, the beak and the beard.

6. Before stitching completely, turn the sample inside out and try it on, placing it on the kettle. At this stage of our needlework, 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 leftover fabric to form a decorative welt for 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.

Using 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.

Hen

You can make a heating pad in the shape of a chicken. It’s difficult to design because you need to make a couple of parts. Separately, a bird's beak with a comb, wings, head and body will be cut out and embroidered. And then the whole chicken must be collected together. An experienced seamstress will make a masterpiece with her own hands. Although it is worth creating a more simplified version by making a pattern with a two-piece heating pad. Only here you will need to create a pattern with a round cap for the teapot, not taking into account the nose and handle. Then additionally build parts for the handle and nose, where the teapot will be placed.

The chicken who knows a lot about tea

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:

1. Sew according to the pre-measured dimensions of the base. 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 of the base with just one seam.

3. Carefully hem the bottom of the skirt and gather 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 fashionable 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 the masterpiece, you will 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. We 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. To create hair and style your hair, 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 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. The arms, torso and ready-made head must be connected to each other to form a whole workpiece.

10. Finishing touches. Embroider funny 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.

Warmer with cherry pits

This warming bunny will not only help keep you warm in cool weather, but will also become your child’s favorite toy. To make it we need cherry pits. They need to be prepared in advance - boiled with a small amount of vinegar, dried in air and then in the oven.

The pattern consists of several parts. They need to be printed in full size on A4 format.

We cut out details from two colors of fabric - see photo.

We sew down the details of the legs and turn them inside out. We make a seam on the head and sew the head to the body.

Fill the paws with bones or filler and put them in place. We sew down the parts of the body and legs, leaving a gap for turning and filling.

We fill the torso and head with bones.

We lay a seam along the connection line to mark the bunny's neck. We do not do it to the full length, otherwise the head will hang unsightly.

We sew the tail in a circle and tighten the thread. Add some filler and tighten. Sew the tail in place. We don’t fill the ears with filler, we just sew them onto the head.

We draw the eyes with a felt-tip pen or embroider them with black thread.

The warming bunny is ready!

Baby doll from tights

Thermal doll made from tights is an interesting option for implementing a creative project. The availability of materials and ease of implementation contributes to inspiration for completing the work. The finished doll is flexible and realistic in structure.

You will need:

Scraps of fabric;
Yarn;
Nylon tights;
Sewing threads;
Glue;
Needle;
Scissors.

Description of work:

The toe part of the tights is stuffed with filler and tied with a knot.
The neck area is determined by hand sewing with basting stitches. After this, take the ends of the threads and tighten the neck, wrapping it several more times.
To form the doll's legs, sew several stitches and tighten them.
On the made doll's head, a small circle is embroidered with threads using weak stitches and carefully pulled together. The result is a baby doll's nose.
You should make ears on your head by pulling the thread in two places. Beads are glued on as eyes. Eyebrows are embroidered with floss threads.
The mouth of the figurine is embroidered from red thread.
For the handles, take small pieces of tights, stuff them with filler and tie them at both ends. Then the manufactured handles are sewn to the sides of the doll.
To create hair, cut yarn of the color you like to a length of 12-15 cm and carefully glue it onto the baby doll’s head with glue.
Dress up the made doll in a wide sundress or skirt.

Pink kitty

The pink cat is a modern kitchen accessory that can be made by hand. It is designed in the same way as a regular heating pad. For this you can use two types of materials. Then the animal's muzzle and the corresponding darts on it, a curved tail, paws and back are created. The muzzle is created in two layers: the first is a lining made of calico, and the second is made of knitwear or other fabric.

Baba on the samovar

According to the culture of Russian tea drinking, a hot water bottle in the form of a woman or doll, a ruddy beauty with a fluffy bright skirt, was placed on the teapot. Today, many people make such a thing using standard step-by-step instructions, a pattern and parts of the hand and head of a Barbie or baby doll. The upper part of the body should be sewn from fabric and stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester. The design of a fluffy skirt with lining insulation should be sewn to the waist.

Pattern of a hot water bottle doll

A life-size pattern for a teapot doll can be represented by a traditional Russian folk beauty, complemented by a sundress and kokoshnik, or by the old man Hottabych, wearing a striped quilted robe.

Pestle for teapot

Sewing a heating pad for a chicken-shaped teapot is not as difficult as it might seem. Having prepared the fabric for the inner and outer layers, insulation (batting, padding polyester), threads, scissors, sewing machine and needle, you can start working:

To make the body, you need to determine the dimensions according to the same scheme as in the case of a heating pad in the shape of a cap. To avoid a seam along the top edge of the warmer, fold and cut the paper measure into two equal rectangles, then join them together at the long sides. The result is a rectangle whose height is twice its length. Thus, the seams will be at the front and back, which will add rigidity to the structure. But it’s better to sew it after the wings and tail are sewn on.
The wing pattern can be made by drawing a right triangle with a height equal to half the back and a base 2/3 of the height. The corners need to be rounded. The combination of white stripes and the fabric from which the upper layer of the body is made looks impressive. Now the wings need to be sewn to the body, adding a little padding polyester for volume.
The tail is also a triangle, but isosceles. Its base is equal to half the length of the back, the other two sides are 2 cm shorter. You need to cut out two such figures from a canvas stitched from white and stripes of the same color as the body. After this, you need to fold them with the right sides inward and sew along the sides. Turn it inside out, fill it with a small amount of padding polyester, and sew “feathers” along the border of the stripes. Having retreated a fifth from the edge along the line of the back, align the middle of the base of the tail with the resulting point. Now you need to sew it on, first placing the triangle in the opposite direction (towards the head), and then, turning it away, stitch it again. In this case, the tail should protrude beyond the body by a third of its height.
Now you can sew the main part of the heating pad front and back.
To make the head, you will need two round pieces of white fabric. The diameter is almost half the length of the back.
The easiest way to make a comb is from stitched red fabric. By wrapping a 2 cm wide strip at an angle of 45 degrees alternately to the right and left sides, you can form a ridge. Stitch to secure folds.
The beak is a triangle, folded from a two-centimeter yellow ribbon and stitched together.
You will get two beards if you sew together two red circles with half the diameter of the white ones. After this, the circle is cut in half, turned inside out, and quite a bit of padding polyester is placed in each half.
Now you need to place the comb and beak on the round blanks, perhaps even baste them, and then sew the head, stepping back half a centimeter from the edge and first folding it with the front surface inward. Do not sew a third of the circumference - through this hole the head will be filled with padding polyester. The unsewn part should start from the beak.
For each white blank, it is necessary to baste the beards immediately under the beak, after which the head is “planted” on the corner of the chicken body and swept off by hand.
All that remains is to make the eyes. You can use black buttons, embroider them with floss threads, or simply draw them.

In the form of vegetables and fruits

You can sew a heating pad for a teapot with your own hands using patterns and patterns in the shape of an orange, tomato and apple. The spherical shape can be made of parts designed in the form of symmetrical petals, the bottom of which is cut in a straight line. First you need to build a pattern using the appropriate dimensional details. Then cut out several paper pieces and connect them using a pin or stapler. Then put it on the teapot. If necessary, the template can be adjusted.

Note! Next, you should lay out the fabric blanks, trace them, taking into account the allowances, and cut out the parts in a consistent manner, using colored decorative material that will serve as an insulating layer and a lining that will touch the teapot.

Vegetable heating pad

Then you need to sew the parts together. If they do not have a very dense structure, they should be folded in the desired surface one on top of the other with the front side inward. Sew the hem at the bottom, and then the main seam along the contour. Finally, turn the product inside out and iron it.

We sew a textile teapot

I somehow wanted to sew a teapot, but I couldn’t find a detailed master class. And I decided to sew it myself and share the process with you. Please don't judge harshly

So, we will need:

— fabric, for external and internal parts;

— padding polyester or holofiber;

- needle, thread, scissors, pencil, glue;

- and the most important thing is a good mood

We prepare the pattern, use a pencil to transfer it to the fabric and cut out the details.

For the outside of the teapot I took calico in two colors, and for the inside - white cotton fabric.

To get the side walls of two colors, the pattern was folded in half and the top part was transferred to one fabric, the bottom to another. I stitched it and got a solid side wall. Here's what I got.

Next, take the outer side wall and apply cotton lace. We measure according to the size of our wall, cut it and sew it on. And we do this with each outer side wall.

We take 2 parts of the outer wall and 2 parts of the inner wall. Place the outer pieces on top of each other with the right sides facing inward. We do the same with the inner walls. This makes 2 stacks of parts. See the photo below.

Next, we place one stack on top of another. We should get a kind of “little book”. We sweep one side and sew it on the machine.

When unfolding our “little book,” the seam should be on the inside. Don't forget to trim the side seam slightly with zig-zag scissors. If there are no such scissors, then we simply make cuts. So that when we turn the parts right side out, we get an even seam. We have 2 of the 8 side walls ready (photo below).

We sew the remaining walls according to the same principle as before. We apply 1 outer wall and 1 inner wall to one side, so that we get a “book”. We sweep, stitch, cut with a zig-zag and turn right side out. And so we continue with all the other details of the side walls. We also make sure that the cotton lace of one part matches in height with the lace on the other part.

This is how we should get an eight-blade:

To make a round teapot, we connect the side parts of the eight-blade in the same way as before. The outer walls face each other. Internal facing each other. Those. making a “little book”. The result should be a “cocoon” of side walls. Baste and sew.

Carefully turn out our “cocoon” and get the finished side wall of the teapot

Turn it inside out. We take the part of the bottom of the teapot from the inner fabric. We attach it to the teapot. We stitch on a machine.

We prepare the outer part of the bottom. Cut out the bottom piece from cardboard. Glue the fabric part to the cardboard. Next, we apply it to the teapot, secure it with needles and begin manually sewing the bottom to the teapot with a hidden seam.

When 7 of the eight walls have been sewn on, carefully fill the bottom of the teapot with synthetic padding. There should be a convex bottom inside the teapot

Then we sew on wall 8. The bottom is ready

Next, we fill the side walls with padding polyester and form the bulges of the teapot.

Next we need to beautifully decorate the top of the teapot.

Measure the diameter of the top. From the fabric we cut out a strip equal to the length of the measurement and 3.5 cm wide.

We attach it to the teapot as in the photo below. I sewed it by hand, because... The machine did not take the thickness.

We turn the sewn collar inside out, secure it with needles and sew it with a hidden seam. The side can be stuffed with padding polyester for more volume. But in this case, I didn't do that.

The teapot belly is ready!

We make the spout and handle of the teapot. We turn out the parts sewn together and stuff them with padding polyester. We do not completely fill the spout with padding polyester, forming a small recess.

We attach the spout to the belly of the teapot, secure it with needles and sew it with a hidden seam. We do the same with the handle of the teapot.

Next, prepare the lid of the teapot.

The cut cardboard part of the lid turned out to be too big for my teapot, so I had to adjust it to fit.

This is what happens. Glue the cardboard piece to the fabric piece. We go along the edge with a regular seam and quilt the edge. Next we fill it with padding polyester.

Sew on cotton lace.

Next we make a pimple. We take the pimply part, stitch it along the edge and tighten it. We stuff it with padding polyester and sew it to the base of the lid with a hidden seam. We put it on the teapot.

And now our teapot is ready!

Happy creativity! Creating together is great!

Baba the Bereginya

Whatever doll you make, it will definitely make you happy. Previously, it was believed that such heating pads protected household members from the evil eye and human malice. They were called beregins. Nowadays traditions are changing, but hot water bottle dolls still live in many kitchens. If you decide to sew such a hot water bottle, start with the simplest model: a head plus a wide hem. You will have to tinker a lot with a dress or sundress on the top of the doll. There are a lot of small details. But nothing is impossible, if only you have the desire.
