Sewing: Puppy Plush Toy {Tutorial & Pattern}

Picture 1 of 3 (Click "Next" for more pictures)

I was fascinated over sewing a plush toy after had a great pleasure on making turtle pincushion sewing kit, piggy pillow and tiger softies. To keep the momentum going and trying out others free pattern, I searched around and found this little puppy plush toy in Woman’s Day (Get the free pattern & instructions here). This puppy is too cute to let go, so… a pair of them were born here, a male and a female puppy. I added a yellow tie for the male puppy. Aren’t they a lovely couple???

[Remark: There are also some other cool stuffs over in the Woman's Day sewing, crocheting & knitting categories craft ideas. Go and dig them out!]

Also, I made and contributed 5 of the female puppies to a charity event to raise fund for the hearing impaired student in my country. I am glad to have some of them sold to help in raising the fund…. or fun?

As usual, here are my tutorial or pictorial but you must read the full print-out detail because my photos  go with that instruction steps.

Vintage Doggie Plush Tutorial and Free PatternInstruction Step 1: Download and print the free pattern and instructions here. You can enlarge the pattern if you want to make a bigger size, but I follow the suggested size.
Choose your favorite matching fabrics.
I included a soft fusible interfacing to further stabilize the fabric. Fuse it in the right angle direction against the textile grain line of the fabric.

Vintage Doggie Plush Tutorial and Free PatternInstruction step 2, 3, 4 & 5: Sew ears, arms and tail. Clip curve and turn.
Position and sew the ears to the body.
Join the body with the head gusset.
Pin and sew the inner body to the main body. I find this part quite tedious, you need to be careful to get the piece attach nicely.
Clip curve and turn inside out.

Vintage Doggie Plush Tutorial and Free PatternInstruction step 6 & 9: Place some plastic pellets at the bottom then fill the body with polyfill. I used silica beads instead of plastic pellets, so that it can helps to dehumidify a little in such a high RH% here. You may also add aroma essence oil and dried flower into it to become a fragrance doll.
Sew and close the opening.
Fill arms and tail with polyester fill, sew and close the opening.

Vintage Doggie Plush Tutorial and Free PatternInstruction 7, 8, 10 & 11: Sew white felt eye with blanket stitch, then sew the black button onto it.
Embroidery the mouth.
I made all the threads start and end at the nose. Attach nose and cover all the thread ends.
Attach arms and tail. I didn’t use clear button, instead I sew the arm to the body with slip stitch (or ladder stitch), just like the way to attach the tail.
I then make a small yellow tie with felt for this little cutie puppy.
