| About Sewing Stuffed Animals -
|
Sewing stuffed animals is very
rewarding. Besides keeping them for yourself, they make great gifts
for other people. There is such a wide variety in size, shape, and animal
that you could sew forever. Most stuffed animals are sewn with pretty
sides together, leave an opening, turn the animal right side out,
then stuff, and sew the opening closed. |
| Best Fabric to Use - |
Light, medium, or heavy weight
cotton will work best for making stuffed animals. Fake fur works
well on medium to large stuffed animals. |
| Easy type Pattern - |
Stuffed animals that are easy
to sew have may have 1-3 pattern pieces, AND require little sewing around
curves or corners. The stuffed teddy bear as seen above has larger curves
to sew around and only requires one pattern piece. |
| Difficult type
Pattern
|
Stuffed animals that are more
difficult to sew have many or small curves, and may have many pattern
pieces. As seen above, the pig has points and curves to sew around,
this may be a little difficult for a beginner sewer. The kitty cat has
above has 8 pattern pieces and would be for a more advance sewer. |
| Pattern Pieces - |
Pattern pieces can range from
one, as shown in the teddy bear above, and up to 25 pieces for a more
advanced project. |
| Cost & Fabric Usage - |
One benefit about making
stuffed animals, is the smaller projects don't require a lot of fabric.
Therefore, little animals can be made with left over fabric from another
project. This saves money and time, and your animal has cost nothing
to make. |
| Comments - |
Some stuffed animals come in
kits, as seen in the elephant above. Kits usually include pattern,
fabric, directions, and some other supplies. This kit had
pre-printed elephant features on the fabric, making sewing a stuffed
animal very quick and easy. Other ways to make stuffed animals is by
designing it yourself. Draw it on paper for your pattern and go from
there. This is how the fish, little cat, and frog were made. |
