Fabric: Flannel, fleece, long or short pile fur, or fleece. Minky fleece for the body. Cotton or cotton blends for the underside and body parts.
Format: Paper pattern with a printed instruction booklet.
Suitable for beginners? Yes. I think this pattern would suit an advanced or adventurous beginner with some sewing experience. There is some 3D sewing involved in the construction of the toys which a complete beginner might struggle with. Sewing with fur can be a challenge, a beginner with less experience should choose a fabric that is easier to work with such as fleece or flannel.

Large animals

A complete beginner could struggle with the 3D features of this pattern, sewing in the lining and handling the slippery minky fleece fabric. Option D would be the easiest option to sew for someone with less experience.

Quick Q&A’s:

What stitch is best for stuffed animals?

If using a woven fabric, a straight stitch is best, for sewing small toys with tight curves a small stitch length is best. If using a stretch, fleece or jersey fabric, a stretch stitch should be used such as zig-zag or lightening.

How do you sew a stuffed animal?

When sewing a soft toy, generally the head is sewn first. The arms and legs are then sewn and stuffed separately and attached to the front body. The back body is then attached with the legs and arms enclosed and sewn all around with a gap left in the seam for turning through. Depending on the shape of the animal, the head can be attached during this process or afterwards.

How do you sew stuffed animal details?

Embroidery – facial features can be hand sewn using embroidery stitched and techniques to create the finer details in different coloured threads. Machine embroidery can also be used.
Appliqué – small pieces or fabric or felt can be cut to the shape of the facial features and either hand or machine sewn in place.
Buttons can be used for eyes in vintage style toys.
Plastic or glass safety eyes and noses can be used to create a more ‘realistic’ look.
Fabric paint or pens can be used to draw or paint facial features onto finished soft toys.

Is it hard to sew stuffed animals?

This will depend on the amount of detail and shaping involved in the stuffed animal you have chosen to sew. There are a wide range of sewing patterns for soft toys catering for a wide range of sewing abilities and levels.

Can you make stuffed animals with a sewing machine?

Yes. Most sewing patterns for stuffed animals are sewn on a sewing machine.

What’s the easiest stuffed animal to make?

Flat, pillow-style stuffed animals are the easiest style to make as they don’t feature any 3D or shaped sewing. A great example of an easy sewing pattern for a stuffed animal is this flat elephant, or this flat teddy bear. For an easy but shaped stuffed animal, you can try this small mouse toy.

What materials do you need to make a stuffed animal?

Stuffed animals can be sewn from a wide range of different fabrics with the most popular being minky fleece or faux fur. You can also use wool felt, cotton, linen, velour, or corduroy.

How much does it cost to make a stuffed animal?

This will depend on the fabric you use to make the toy. Minky and plush fleece fabrics are probably the most expensive types of fabric to use. Stuffed animals can easily be sewn from recycled clothing, bedding or left over scraps making them a great ‘waste not want not’ project. Scraps are also great for practicing your soft toy making skills with.
