Description I made a plush version of the ridiculously cute critter from Bravest Warriors and so can you.

Pattern - [link]
Tutorial part 2 - [link]

YES you can sell handmade plushes made from this pattern.
NO you can not sell the pattern. NO you cannot mass produce plushes made from this pattern.

If you use this pattern, credit me and LINK BACK HERE SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN FIND & USE IT, TOO!

"Bravest Warriors" belongs to Pen Ward - this is just a fan made plush & not a challenge to copyright.


Notes on material & sizes:

I made the pattern test from blue fleece, red robe velour and felt. At printout size you need about a 10x20 square of blue and a smaller piece of red.

At printout size, this makes a plush about 6 inches tall (sitting). I recommend using fleece as it's easy to work with, readily available and pretty inexpensive. Check your fabric store's remnants bin, where you can usually find lots of fleece for very little money, or keep an eye out for sales and coupons,

If you reduce the size of the plush, you should probably use a thinner fabric as fleece will be difficult to sew and turn and the seams will be very bulky. You can try anything with a bit of stretch to it - minky, velboa, robe velour, stretch velveteen and so on. I don't recommend using woven material like cotton or flannel as it doesn't stretch and will make an odd, skinny looking plush. If you enlarge the pattern, you can still use fleece or switch to faux fur for the body, which will make a very fluffy, chubby plush since the pile of the fur will bulk it out.

Just so you know, sewing down to H is a little confusing. It took me a while before I realized I was sewing down to a letter that was on a piece that wasn't even attached to this yet, then I spent a good amount of time re-reading the whole thing to figure out how to get point H on the assembly at this stage without it being actually on the assembly yet lol

I solved it for myself by jotting a little H on the belly piece to match up where it would be on the back ^_^

So the seam allowance is NOT part of the pattern?

Voodoo-Tiki In reply to Roseqc [2013-07-10 10:08:42 +0000 UTC]

Correct.
I never include seam allowances because 1. I think they're confusing and 2. you'd have to redraw them if you resize the plush anyways.

Lovely! I just have one question. Where is the letter H? I can't find it on the pattern.

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 1

Voodoo-Tiki In reply to JuliaDash [2013-05-24 13:17:36 +0000 UTC]

H is all the way at the bottom on the BACK piece

Thank you SO much for sharing this! I just got the fabric so I could make a little Catbug for a friend and was just going to wing it (which inevitably would have ended horribly).

It's almost impossible to get minky in stores for some reason.
