Free Plushie Patterns Online

Here's a collection of links to sites outside of DeviantArt where you can find free plushie patterns. There are well over two hundred choices, so you're sure to find something you like.

Remember, if you can't find exactly what you're looking for, try adapting one of the patterns. For example, a tiger can easily be turned into a lion, an elephant into a wooly mammoth, an elf into a goblin, or combine the upper half of a mermaid with the lower half of a pony to get a centaur.

sewing with minky tipsby ~gurliebot

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

Ah! A monster!

Anyway, here is a tutorial/tips on using minky. I'm assuming that you know how it use a sewing machine and know basic construction.

The techniques of this tutorial can also be applied to fleece and velour!

Feel free to ask me questions! I'll either answer, or direct you to a more reliable resource. <3

Enjoy!

Can you sew a minky plush by hand?

~gurliebot Apr 20, 2013 Professional General Artist

Yes! Just make sure to use pins and a sharp needle

it maybe a bit tough if you get to more than two layers.

Oh this is awesome. I'm used to making Plushies with the "real" fake fur with the woven backing, but haven't tried Minky yet...this will be handy to have as a reference.

This is great! The visuals are really clear, and the tutorial is very straightforward and helpful. I have a question though: how do you "notch" the corners?

~gurliebot Sep 26, 2012 Professional General Artist

Thanks!
To notch an inner corner, like at the neck junction or at the crotch, you either snip once or cut out a little triangle. For outer corners, you snip off a triangle. Hope that helps!

~Sakura-chan4100 Sep 26, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Ah ok, thank you very much! That'll definitely be helpful in the future

Great tutorial

By the way, does your minky shed everywhere when you're using it? What do you do about it?

~Cow-In-A-Keyhole Sep 23, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I've read somewhere that using a rotary cutter can lessen the shed a lot, but I haven't tried that yet so I wouldn't know. Might be worth a try if it bothers you :3

~gurliebot Sep 17, 2012 Professional General Artist

Thank you! My minky does shed when I cut it. I usually keep a roll of packaging tape handy to pick up fuzzies. I usually wait until I finish to clean up.

I also clean my machine often to make sure the fuzz won't affect it.

Great tips, I've been learning this with the last two plushes i've made... Pins are key!
