SIDE FROG PLUSH TEMPLATE PASSWORD

Design #451 - My free SVG/PDF/DXF plush pattern design files (available from my free resource library - get the password at the bottom of this post).

Embroidery Needles and Embroidery Floss to add details.

Scissors (ones for fabric are best) or a handheld rotary cutter and self-healing mat.

A method to cut your materials - I used the amazing Cricut Maker 3, with the Rotary Blade with Housing.

You can handsew the plushies, but a Sewing Machine – like the Janome Arctic Crystal Sewing Machine – with compatible Needles and Polyester Thread makes it easier.

Premium Polyester Fiber to fill the plushies.

Felt Fabric I used small pieces of black and white for the nose and eye pieces.

Minky Fabric – I used an 1/8 yard for the two inner ear pieces, and other tail half.

Fleece Fabric – I used a 1/2 yard for the body pieces and an 1/8 yard for the two outer ear pieces, and tail half.

Let me show you how to make a plushie! This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won’t cost you a penny more)! Read my full disclosure policy.

These plushies are meant to keep you company and look cute, they’re not up for rough housing! It’s the same thing with pets, these are not animal-friendly.

They’ll use more secure processes, like safety eyes (not button eyes!) and different sewing techniques. If you want to make adorable plush toys for a child, please look for a sewing pattern meant for children’s toys. Important Safety Note: These plushies have sewn and glued pieces, and they’re not meant for young children or anyone else who might chew on or pull off pieces. You can even sew more little accessories like hats to go with the simple scarf. With some experimentation, you can make custom plush toys like your pet’s breed, a favorite animal, or combination! Just using a different color fabric can totally change the cute dogs and cats. Once you’ve made a few, your own custom plushies will make great handmade gifts. And we’ll learn a helpful handsewn stitch to finish and add the ears: ladder stitch! I used embroidery stitches to add mouths and whiskers. I’ll show you some basic machine sewing skills (just a straight stitch) to assemble the plush animals. If you are using an Explore machine, you can use my tips on cutting fabric with a Cricut to make the designs. Taking the time will make the sewing much easier. We’ll use lots of pins!Īnd yes, you can cut soft fabrics for plushies on a Cricut! I’ll share some important tips to prepare your fabric and tools so everything cuts perfectly. The smooth, soft texture makes minky perfect for soft toys like these, but it can be slippery during sewing. It stretches some, but not as much as fleece. Minky is thinner and the sides usually look different. That’s surprisingly important when you’re learning how to make a plushie, so stay tuned for some tips. The right sides are fluffier and brighter, and it stretches more in one direction than the other. What’s the difference between fleece and minky?įleece is a knit polyester fabric, though the stitches are hidden by the texture. Especially on stretchy fabric, like the fleece and minky we’ll use. Those lines are much easier to add to pattern pieces with the machine than by hand. If you do have a Cricut, we’ll use Cricut Design Space to prepare each plushie pattern, including adding a line for the seam allowance using a washable fabric marker. No Cricut? No problem - follow my printable pattern to cut one by hand instead! With their simple shapes and smooth lines, making plushies is fun and easy! And with my free, simple cut files, you can make your own plushie with a Cricut. You can even earn bonus entries for sharing photos of the daily projects!
