Felt lamb with own hands
One of the options for crafting by the New Year is the sewing of lamb from felt. It can be sewed together with their children - they will definitely like such a joint lesson. Usually it brings children and parents closer together, moreover, accustoms to work, perseverance, develops creativity and imagination.
The methods and patterns for sewing a felt lamb are a lot, but we will dwell in more detail on two master classes.

We choose one of the pieces of felt - white or coffee color, we add in half, we apply a pattern-lamb, on which we will sew, cut out taking into account the allowance for seams. On brown felt we cut out the ears of the lamb, its legs and face. As a result, you should get two details of the trunk, four - the legs, two - the ears and two - the face.

We sew two details of the face and two pairs of legs of our sheep. We put together two details of the trunk together, apply the muzzle and legs in the right places, place them between two layers of the trunk. Stitching begins with the front leg, sew on the contour. After reaching the hind paw, stop sewing, since there must be an opening between the front and back legs to push the filler.

We fill the sheep with the prepared material, try not to make it too plump or too flat - we find the golden mean. Once the filler is inside, stop the hole.
After this, proceed to the ears - we add each along and slightly grab it from one edge. Ready ears sew to the head. The legs are tucked under the trunk. The lamb-pillow is ready! We sew one more similar pillow from a felt of other color to receive the lovely pair of sheep.

Master class №2
You can sew a sheep-toy, no less sweet and cute. To do this you will need:
- white, black or dark gray felt;
- packing;
- tape;
- thread, needle, scissors;
- pattern.
Applying the pattern to the felt, we cut out the lamb. We begin to sew with the muzzle. We apply black details of the face and ears to one of the white details of the trunk.
We take one eye, we add one edge in half, fix it with a clip, again we put the eye in place. We begin to sew ears, a muzzle with one of parts of a trunk. Before sewing everything in a circle, fill the face with a small amount of stuffing.
We proceed to eyes and nose. To make it easier to cope with these details, look at the template pattern and repeat the example.
After - take 8 parts of the legs, sew them and get 4 legs, attach them to the top of the back of the trunk, we put the front half on top and start sewing everything in a circle. Leave a small hole for filling the packing. When the lamb became plump, sew it up to the end. Finally decorate it with ribbon.
