Description
My daughter wanted a Flufflepuff plush. I didn't want to buy her one. Also, she wanted it for her birthday, and all the ones I found said to expect 4-6 weeks for delivery, which would put it past her birthday.So I decided to make her one myself. Thing is, (as far as I was able to turn up) there were no patterns for Flufflepuff anywhere on the nets, so I had to make my own.
I'd never made a plush sewing pattern (I'd never made any sewing pattern), but I've unwrapped a zillion 3d models!
I literally modeled the plush in 3D, and unwrapped the plush along the typical lines I see other plushes seams, and created this pattern.
The shapes along the right-hand side are the legs. They should be done in regular short minky (or, felt, I guess, if that's your thing).
The face, and front-side of the ears (top-left) should also be in short minky (same as the legs).
I used this one - amzn.to/1RCKJ35
The rest of the pieces should be done in a shaggy material.

Athey - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You just saved Christmas for me! Just finished the first of two (I have two girls who both asked Santa for a Flufflepuff and I didn't realize it wasn't something you couldn't just buy at toysrus! I am thrilled how it turned out, thanks to your pattern and instructions above. The only thing I did differently was I cheated on the eyes and bought a Pinky Pie on Amazon for 10 bucks, cut out the eyes and sewed them on with embroidery thread. I didn't have the patience or skills to embroider the eyes myself. Flufflepuff even stands itself which i wasn't expecting! THANK YOU!

Do you know how tall Fluffle is and how many yards of fabric you used?

Let's see... I suppose it's about 9 inches tall and I only got 1 yard of the minky and 1 yard of the longer hair minky and didn't use up nearly half of either of them.

This is so awesome. Are there any directions how to make it? For a newbie pattern is not enough

Okay, there are 2 different fabrics, the short minky and the fluffy shaggy stuff.
I’d recommend printing out the pieces, laying them over the (back) of your fabric and trace the outsides with a pen that won’t bleed through. I also recommend writing down the letters just so you don’t loose track. When you cut them out, give yourself a half-inch gap outside the pattern edge, so you can sew things properly.
Any points where points share a letter, they go together. In a number of places, three pieces come together at a single point.
Lets see… you could do the individual legs first. Have the minky fabric INSIDE OUT, flatten the matching edges together and sew down the seam. Then try to pin the circle to the bottom (flat edge) of the feet in it’s circle and then stitch around it (I had to do this by hand - I just couldn’t get my machine to work on a number of these parts).
I think after the four legs, I’d do the face next. It’s also the short minky. The bottom of the heads where there’s a Q and an I is where it connects to the shaggy minky body parts, so don’t worry about them until you get there.
Also, remember you are doing all of the sewing with the fabric inside out.
Oh - sew the ears before you do the face, so you can sew the ears into place when you’re doing the rest of the head. The ears are made from half shaggy minky and half short minky.
I think I’d do the pinchy bits first - like points N and H on the face, and points O, P, and A on the shaggy body. Those splits give the plush it’s rounded mass when stuffed.
I think that the belly where the legs are sewn into the belly was the last part I put together. The space between two legs on one side is what I left open so that I could turn the whole thing right-side-out and then stuff it. Then I went in and stitched the hole shut.
Sorry if that’s not too clear. I’m sure there’s a zillion ‘making plushes’ tutorials on youtube that would help. I learned plush stuff back in 7th grade Home Economics class, so I’ve never bothered to look for tutorials on youtube.
