Making a Soft Toy / Stuffed Toy

  1. Choosing the right soft toy for making, if you are a beginner, it is better to select a simple design so it will be very easy for you to grasp the things for making.
  2. Choosing the color of fabric is very important part in making soft toys as colour combination makes a soft toy look realistic. Choose soft fabrics like felt which are easy to work with and using velvet for materials like frock, jackets, coats etc will be a good idea.
  3. Drafting the animal on a paper before you make an outline on the fabric, it is always advisable. 
  4. Fold the fabric into half and place it without any crease on a flat surface and draw half of the outline on fabric

After Cutting

  1. Before cutting you Remember to leave a little extra space from the outline as seam allowance, because when you sew it, the overall size will decrease. Cut two layers of the same shape.Cut the fabric through the outline drawn, with the help of a sharp scissors. 
  2. Place the fabric in such a way that the right sides face each other. Sew the two layers of fabric along the outline with same color thread. Leave either one leg or hand to be stitched later on. You might require this space to stuff Cotton, Wool or Polyester fiberfil inside.
  3. Reverse the fabric inside out so that the stitches stay inside hidden.
  4. Stuff cotton or wool inside stitched fabric. Old waste piece of fabric will also solve your need. Properly stuff things inside as it should not look messy outside.
  5. Stitch the open part left on the fabric for inserting Cotton.
  6. With the help of beads and buttons you can give the soft toy a lively effect creating eyes, nose, ears and lips. You can also use satin ribbon over the neck as bow to give realistic effect.
