Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Looking at an example of pusheen, draw out a basic sketch of the character

  2. Step 2 2

    Now trace just the body of the cat on a different peice of paper.

  3. Step 3 3

    Cut it out-this will be your pattern

    (you can see where I cut his tail off-whoops!:)

  4. Step 4 4

    On a large sheet of gray felt, trace around your pattern with a marker

  5. Step 5 5

    flip the pattern over and trace it again

  6. Step 6 6

    cut out the 2 body peices

  7. Step 7 7

    As you cut, be sure to leave plenty of seam allowance, I went with a little over a quarter inch

  8. Step 8 8

    tada! here are the 2 sides of Pusheen's body

  9. Step 9 9

    Now pin them, good sides together, so the marker lines are on the outside

  10. Step 10 10

    See the red pins under Pusheen's tail? Don't sew between those pins, that is the area you will use to flip him inside out later on

  11. Step 11 11

    starting at the underside of Pusheen's tail, sew all the way around along the marker lines

  12. Step 12 12

    stop at the red pin on the back of Pusheen's rightmost foot

  13. Step 13 13

    This is the area you left unsewn. now stuff all of Pusheen through this hole so he is inside out

  14. Step 14 14

    Lookin' fancy already!

  15. Step 15 15

    Next, stuff pusheen so make him extra cuddly

  16. Step 16 16

    sew up the hole nice and tight
    I used a blind stitch-

  17. Step 17 17

    Congrats, that was the hardest part! now you just have to stitch on all of the details that give Pusheen his attitude. Start by cutting gray felt stripes for his tail and sewing them on securely

  18. Step 18 18

    now, for his hat. go back and look at your sketch so you know about what size to make it.
    Cut the 2 sides of the hat from black felt, making if slightly bigger that necessary to account for seam allowance

  19. Step 19 19

    pin the 2 sides of the hat together. This time, don't sew across the bottom brim of the hat, you'll need that open later

  20. Step 20 20

    Sew all sides of the hat except for the bottom/brim

  21. Step 21 21

    flip the hat inside out

  22. Step 22 22

    stuff the hat with just enough stuffing to give it shape. After you sew it closed the same way you sewed up Pusheen, sew a stip of colored felt(I used deep violet) above the brim of the hat

  23. Step 23 23

    Sew the hat between Pusheen's ears, make sure you stitch it plenty!

  24. Step 24 24

    Cut out three semi-circles from gray felt and stitch them just below Pusheen's tophat

  25. Step 25 25

    Now for his adorable face-
    Cut out pusheens felt eye, monocle and 'stache. use pins to hold them in place while you sew

  26. Step 26 26

    Cut out three small rectangles for whiskers, mine were about 1 1/2 inches by 3/4 inch

  27. Step 27 27

    roll the rectangles and stitch them so they don't unfurl. Now you can attatch them to Pusheen's face

  28. Step 28 28

    Don't forget about the gray felt stripes on his back

    Fancy Pusheen is complete!
