This fun article is for critters to make from fabric or felt. With friends who have little babies, I have been looking into ‘sewing for baby’ – ideas. One of the things on my list is to design some quilted toy animals. To get my creative juices going, I have been scouring around at what’s out there already that is really awesome. So here are my top 9 Sewing and Quilting Patterns for Amazing Toy Animals.

Filling for your Toy Animal Sewing Pattern

You all know I am a great fan of recycling, reusing, upcycling and not creating any waste or extra plastics on the planet. So, a couple of things on that for these toy animal sewing patterns:

• Toys can often be made from remnants. I did for the pink rhino. So, be sure to go through your fabric stash before buying new fabric, yarn, embroidery floss. You probably have all you need already at home.
  
  
• The ‘serious’ stuffed toy makers use ‘proper’ filling for the stuffing. I personally stuffed mine with organic ‘waste’ fleece that I took off the fences where sheep graze, on my walks through the fields. Wool is excellent stuff for stuffing into little spaces and makes for a natural, very soft toy.
• I realise that not everyone lives near sheep like I do. So, the next best thing for you is to consider buying organic raw fleece, which is a cheaper than poly fill and way better for the environment. And wool lasts for centuries! Thus, so will your creations!

So, get this:

At the time of this writing, it’s $9.95 for a whole pound!
