❗ THIS IS FOR A SEWING PATTERN, IT IS NOT FOR A FINISHED PLUSH ❗
🧾 Instruction Language: ENGLISH 🧾
🏐 ISOPOD PLUSH .PDF PATTERN 🏐
This listing is for a .pdf instant download of a plush sewing pattern. It is templates and instructions for how to make a chubby isopod! That is the bug also known as a roly poly or pillbug. The bug has a segmented body that can roll into a ball with the use of either snaps or strong hook-and-loop tape. A smooth version of the body is much simpler to sew, while a plated version made with fabric pleats is more complicated. It has a simple face with additional decorations for the segments.
It is sewing pattern with complete instructions to create the plush from start to finish -- including step-by-step photos and a printable pattern. It includes extra info on choosing fabrics, tools to get started, printing your pattern, and cutting your fabric. This project is not recommended for absolute beginners, but I do my best to explain everything in detail for those rogue confident newbies that want a challenge :)
🧵 The face has instructions for fusible web applique, but embroidery files are also included.
