Almost in the childhood from grandmothers and grandfathers practically all, for certain, heard that in each house lives a house. Many just grinned, listening to such stories, others believed, and this explained many of the events taking place in the house, and some continue to believe in the existence of a house-servant to this day.

It is believed that the house-spirit is the so-called home spirit. He lives in every house (hence the name) and protects the owners from various troubles and troubles. The housekeeper in her own way follows the order, protects the dwelling from various shocks. True, the eyes of the owners of the house are practically not shown, but only invisibly guardians of the home, showing concern for the prosperity, peace and harmony in the house.

There is a belief that a house-cook can even be appeased, leaving sweets and buns for the night in a prominent place. But the dwelling, which the housekeeper for some reason left, can comprehend a series of troubles and problems.

But you can always return luck and success – the keeper of home comfort in the house can be done with your own hands!

Housewife Kuzka

Famous animated fairytale hero Kuzya is loved by more than one generation of kids. We suggest sewing the self-righteous cheerful Kuzka at home.

soft filler (a small piece of sintepon or cotton wool);
material for clothing (dark-colored fabric for pants and colored for a shirt);
White or beige yarn (for making hair);
tailor chalk or simple pencil;
acrylic paints and a thin brush;
scissors;

  • We begin to stuff the details of the toy. To the head of the housekeeper was more even, it should be filled with a sintepon very tightly. The edges of the
  • details are left loose so that you can easily sew together. We pin by means of needles and sew by hand.
  • For the nose we take a circle from the fabric along the edge, put a small piece of cotton wool in the middle and tighten it.

  • We put on our pants and sew on the top on the tummy and on the bottom.
  • Top with a shirt on.
  • Sew the head by hand with a hidden seam.
  • Hair do as follows: on a book or a sheet of cardboard we reel white threads.
  • Carefully remove the winding, overlay a sheet of paper and stitch it on the
  • machine in the middle (thread along with the paper).
  • After that, on one of the half of the stitched hair, make 2 seams and cut into several pieces. Obtained blanks of hair stitched behind the head.
  • We start from below with shorter hair. From above we sew long hair in a circle, beginning with a bang. We finish sewing the hair on the vertex. We comb back
