Production steps:
Step1: Cut out the cat face shape
Cut all shapes from the fabric according to the shapes given in the link and iron the fabric flat.
Step2: Draw the cat face
Use a pencil to draw a cat face on the oval fabric. Fold the fabric in half and iron it. The middle line is the center line of the cats face. Draw the positions of the eyes and mouth according to the center line. If you can't grasp the position well, you can draw on carbon paper.
Step3: Embroider cat face
Cut a piece of black stitching and start embroidering the cat face, working from back to front, paying attention to the small eyelashes. Then use pink thread to embroider a small nose, and then use black thread to embroider the mouth.
Step4: Embroider cat ears
Stack two pieces of C fabric together, with the front facing inward, fix the position with a pin, sew along the edge, and finally take out the fabric inside. Use an iron to flatten the ears. Repeat the same action for the next ear.
Attach fabric D to the ears as earsSew the inside of the flower.
Step5: Sew pillow
Sew all the pieces of fabric together and pin the ears, front side down. Make sure the distance between your ears is equal. Then attach the second piece of cat face fabric to the top with the wrong side facing up and secure it with a pin.
Sew around the cat’s face, leaving 2-3” at the bottom for the filling opening.
Trim the excess fabric and thread scraps, and then take out the sewn pillowcase from the inside out.
Step6: Install pillows
Add one cup each of flax and three tablespoons of dried flowers to the pillow, and carefully sew the opening shut.
It’s done, come and enjoy the soothing and reassuring aromatherapy pillow effect when you take a nap~
