Ms Dorito added How To Make A Plushie to Plushie 12 Jun 17:13

Step 1
What you'll need:

For this project i used Felt. but you can also use other cloth.
some more thing you'll need.
- needle
- thread in difrent collors.
- maybe a knot.
- fake hair or wool dreath
- glass eye's
- Filling materials
- glue
- marker
Step 2
Firstly, draw the patterns on the felt/cloth,

but you can also draw them on to paper, if you first draw the patterns on paper then cut them out, place them on the felt and draw a line matching the patterns

you can determen the size of the patterns yourself.
Step 3
Cut everything out, but make sure you stay about 1 CM from the drawn line.
Step 4
Sew the pattern of the head together
but leave an opening for the filling
Step 5
Cut 2 holes in one side of the head. this is for the eyes.
Step 6
Turn it over and fill it
Step 7
Then you can glue the eyes where you want them.
Step 8
Sew the tiny body together.
Leave the section where the head is coming open.
Sew the arms and legs together, but also leave an opening(for filling)where they wil later be attached to the body.
Step 9
turn everything over and fil it.

(Body..legs..arms)
Step 10
sew the head to the body
Step 11
Do the same with the arms and legs.
Step 12
Then the hair..
Here i've worked here with woolen thread
sew the hair onto the head.
start from bottem to top because thats the easyest.
to make sure the hair is firmly attached to the head, with the thread tie a few knots around the base of the hair.
if many hairs are attached to the head you may re-do the hairs with a few more knots.

if you use fake hair.
take a small cluster of the fake hair and place it on the head.
sew the thread around the hair and make a knot.
then take the fake hair and tie it into a knot.
then sew the thread around the hair ones again and make another knot.
Step 13
okey the body is done, now for the clothes.

first you measure how long everything should be. this can be done by placing the plushie on the cloth and then mark how big everything should be.

i made him a long coat.
Step 14
Wrap the cloth around the side of the body to feel how much you'll need.
mark it by making a little cut.

then you can cut out everything on the length
Step 15
Look where the arms are going to be and cut a hole
Step 16
for the sleeves wrap the cloth around the arm to measure mowmuch cloth is needed.
then cut out what you need, then sew it together, turn it inside out so the stitches wont be visible.
then sew it onto the coat.
Step 17
this is how its suppose to look eventualy
Step 18
Cut the holes for the buttons and sew the buttons where you want them
Step 19
for the pants place the cloth onto the lower part of the body, make sure you also cover a part of the waste or else you'll have a pants with only the leg part.
wrap the cloth around one legg of the plushie to measure howmuch is needed.
when measure...cut it out.
do this twice.
sew the pants together up until the waiste.
turn pants inside out (to hide stitches)
Step 20
This is the end result of the pants
Step 21
Okey now the last step. you can choose for yourself if you do this or not. you can add to your Plushie what you want. I've made something on the back of the jacket.
Step 22
And then your plushie is done .. I hope that my english is not thatmuch of a major disaster XD

my boyfriend helped with the english ^^ so hopefully it'll be a bit better
