Assembling

Whenever I assemble a Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins first. This way you can move parts around easily until you are happy. Then sew it on.

First sew the lid to the body of Mrs. Potts, try to center it on top. Then sew on the nose, flatten the bottom lightly to do so. Last sew on the handle. But before you do, the side where you started with the magic ring will be curled. As you can see in the picture, I’ve sewn this, so it stays in place. After this you can sew it to the body.
Last make eyes from felt and use thread to make the eyelashes and eyebrows. With a bit of pink on the cheeks, finishes off this cute Mrs. Potts.

I hope you had fun making Mrs. Potts ! It looks maybe harder to make as it actually is. If you made on for your own, show me on Instagram or Twitter with the #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Leaf Rug or Blanket DIY

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Since colder days are coming, well, weather forecast says else, but let’s ignore that xD. I really need a new rug, that I could easily dump in the washing machine. My cat is kinda old, with her little accidents, I just need to be able to clean it well. My last rug didn’t survive the washing machine, oops, haha. So, I came up with a much more fun one, in the shape of a leaf! I love botanics and would fit my space well. While I was making it, I realized it would be perfect as blanket as well! So, double fun, just choose where you wanna use this Leaf Rug/Blanket for. Let’s see how to create your own.

Leaf Rug or Blanket

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Green Fabric of choice, 1 by 2 meter.
♥ Sheet Stuffing/Snowblanket, 1 by 1 meter.
♥ Template of a Leaf.
♥ Sewing Machine. (optional)
♥ Needle and Thread.
♥ Embroidery Floss in Green.
♥ Tailor’s Chalk.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Fabric Scissors.
♥ Fabric Glue. (Optional)

♥ DIY Leaf Rug or Blanket

Make a template of a leaf, you can easily find shapes online or draw one yourself. If you are confident enough you can also draw directly on the fabric. Since I am a perfectionist, I used newspaper to draw my leaf on and cut it out. Make sure you stay within 1 by 1 meter.

Fold your fabric in half, so you have a 1 by 1 meter sheet. On this, position your template and trace around it with the tailor’s chalk. Or, if you chose to draw it freehand, use the chalk as well.

Now before you cut it out. Keep in mind you need seam allowance. I just drew a line 1cm from the edge of the leaf on the inside, or you can add it around it. Just keep in mind that if you draw it within the shape, it will turn out a bit smaller. When you did that, cut it out, both layers at the same time!

In the end I changed the shape of the leaf, as you can see the pics side by side with and without the newspaper.

Sewing

Now it’s time for sewing! You could do this by hand, but that will probably take a while! I used my sewing machine, just a straight stitch will do. Start somewhere on one of the sides, since you need to leave a gap, about 20cm, to turn it inside out. To keep the layers together before sewing, use sewing pins along the edge.

Stuffing.

I used an old snow blanket for the stuffing, it was perfect! Cut it to size, use your template. It doesn’t have to be perfectly shaped, just make sure that it will fit inside the seams.

Now for the tricky part, the stuffing has to end up on the inside. You can do this 2 ways. Just flip the fabric and try to get the stuffing nicely inside, which is a challenge but possible.

Or the second way is, before you flip it, use a bit of fabric glue around the edge of the stuffing and glue it to the fabric. Just a warning here, test you glue on a scrap piece of fabric first. Some will leave really bad stains and that’s not pretty! Make sure to let the glue dry well and then flip the whole thing.

Stuffing glued on top of the still inside out piece.

Closing the Gap.

With a neeldle and thread, sew the gap closed. The best way is to use and invisible stitch. If you don’t know how to do this, watch a video on youtube, it’s not as hard as you might think. Make sure you fold in the sewing allowance neatly to the inside so, in the end, it won’t be visible when you are done.

Leaf Veins

It’s time to give our rug or blanket some more detail! Take out you chalk again and draw out the Leaf Veins is any shape or form you like. If you are happy with how it looks, take your sewing pins and pin those down.

I did use embroidery floss, split in 3 strands. And stitched those veins by hand, it will take a while, but this way they were thinker as I could get with sewing it on my sewing machine. You, of course could choose to use your sewing machine to finish it quickly. But I think it was worth it to do it by hand.

♥ Finished!

Your rug or blanket is finished! Isn’t it fun to see? I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and made a beautiful blanket or rug. If you did, don’t forget to show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Autumn Amigurumi’s

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Are you seeing signs of Autumn arriving where you live as well?! Here the weather is acting like it’s fall. I love it a lot. Because of Fall coming I thought of making a overview with Amigurumi patterns I made over time! Some you might remember, other you might have forgotten. So, let’s do this.

♥ Autumn Spirit

This adorable spirit I made some years ago, and I still love it a lot, it’s not too hard to make, and quite fun that hang everywhere as decoration. Now looking him up, I realized that I had a lot more ideas to make as spirits.. hmm maybe it’s time to make some more. The pattern you can find here!

♥ Adorable Acorn

Do you like picking up Acorns as well in Autumn? I usually do, and put them everywhere. It’s magical what Nature can create, and I often think we don’t enjoy it enough. Nature gives us so much, and what do we give back?!

Anyway, this little one you should definitely make, it will keep you company during the cold days! The pattern you can find here!

♥ Little Foxy

Why did I only make a fox related to Autumn?! I guess I need to do something about that. Any suggestions?! Leave them below if you have. But this foxy is really sweet and always want’s to be around you, maybe as a keychain, so he can travel around with you to see the worlds. He’s really curious! The pattern you can find here!

Little Foxy

♥ Mushroom Buddy

Why do I feel like this mushroom buddy needs some friends?! Maybe because there are so many types of Mushrooms! I can probably can come up with a few more designs. But for now you have to do it with this one only! The pattern you can find here!

Mushroom Buddy

I won’t post the Halloween related amigurumi’s here, since I will make a post about those next month! So wait a little for that or go here, if you are looking for those already.

I hope you enjoy those patterns. Some have been a while since I made them, and then remembering how many more ideas I have. I guess I will be busy for a while! (I’ve some huge yarn stash that really needs to decrease xD) Let’s get crafty!

Ah, and if you made any, don’t forget to show me on Instagram or Twitter with #DelinleaDIY

Have a wonderful /Autumn/ day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble Amigurumi’s, I use sewing pins first to position all parts. This way you can easily move things around until you are happy and sew it on. I recommend you would do this as well.

First sew on Tinkerbell her legs, the 2 back legs go under her skirt and the beige ones, near her face. Now you now that the top of her body is, position her hair nicely and sew it on, then add the bun and put the hairband around it. Then sew on her ears as well. Last sew on her wings!
From felt make her eyes and eyebrows (Or use yarn to create her eyebrows). Glue those on and let dry.

Tinkerbell is finished! I hope it wasn’t too hard? I don’t think so. I hope you had fun. If you decided to make her, make sure to show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling a Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins first to position all part. This way you can easily move everything around until you are happy. Then you can sew it on.

Start with Tigger’s legs, two just under his belly and two on the side. Then position his face, keep the snout near to check if it is positioned right, since the snout will go partially over the face. Make sure, in the end, that the snout will be just above the belly.
Then sew on his ears and tail.
Now it is time to make his stripes, there are a lot, so check my pictures for references. You can make the stripes with either felt or yarn, use whatever you are most comfortable with.
Last make his eyes, nose and inside of the ears.

Tigger is done! I hope you enjoyed following along this pattern! If you made him, don’t forget to show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY.

I hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll see you next week with a TsumTsum pattern.

Love
Danielle
