Steps To Make A Sewing Stuffed Creature

So now you have all of the ingredients, let’s just start crafting a stuffed creature. If you adhere to the guidelines to the point, making your stuffed creature will be quick and easy:

Step 1: Firstly, choose a fabric for making your stuffed creature. Cotton quilting material, which comes in various interesting patterns and feels, is a great fabric for newbies. If these aren’t available, you can also use old rags.

Choose your fabric

Step 2: Next, choose the creature you would like to stuff. You can make an outline sketch yourself or download ready-made templates from the internet.

Sketch out the shape

Step 3: You’ll have to copy your template to your fabric after you’ve finished it. Place your material on top of the template. With either a dark pen or a piece of chalk, form a circle around the online. Repeat on both sides of your stuffed animal. Following the line you created, cut your fabric.

Outline the shape

Step 4: To ensure that the two layers of fabric stay aligned before stitching your animal, use regular sewing pins to put them together. Your fabric should be pinned from the inside out. Pin your animal’s border horizontally with the pins. All of your pins should be about 1/2 inch away.

Pin-up the sides

Step 5: Then, take the fabric and sew all the sides leaving around 1 and a half inches to fill in the creature. Pull all normal pins from your creature’s edges once you’ve finished sewing.

Sew the sides

Step 6: Pull the cloth through the opening you left unstitched and flip it inside out using the opening you left unstitched. Pulling all of the material through your entire body may take some time. The rough stitches should be covered when you flip it inside out, revealing the excellent side of your material.

Fill in your shape

Step 7: Lastly, through the opening, fill in enough cotton for the creature to be fluffy. Taking the same thread, sew the last opening and trim any extra piece of thread.

Sew the opening

Step 8: Your stuffed creature is all ready to be cuddled.
