Penguin Soft Toy Pattern

Who wouldn’t want a touch of the Antarctic? Where the penguins waddle and the snowflakes dance! But what if you could bring a piece of that icy wonderland into your cosy home? Lynne Sharpe from The Make It Room has crafted a delightful sewing tutorial that lets you do just that. This Penguin Soft Toy Pattern is a heartwarming project that’s perfect for beginners and seasoned sewists alike.

Crafted from just two fat quarters and a smidgen of felt, this penguin plushie is a bundle of joy waiting to happen. The tutorial is a masterclass in precision, guiding you through the intricacies of darts, seams, and stuffing. It starts with the face, where you’ll learn to make darts in the white sections, followed by attaching them to the top of the head. The tutorial is peppered with helpful tips, like using a gathering stitch to ease the fabric into place, making it a smooth sail rather than a rocky road.

The body of the penguin is another marvel. With front and back sections that come together like a jigsaw puzzle, you’ll find yourself engrossed in the process. And let’s not forget the wings—small, stuffed, and stitched to perfection. They’re the cherries on top of this adorable project.

But what’s a penguin without its beak and feet? A few scraps of orange felt transform into these essential features, adding the final touches to your plushie. The tutorial even offers the option to stuff the beak and feet for that extra puff of cuteness.

So, whether you’re looking to gift a child or add a whimsical touch to your décor, this penguin soft toy is a project that promises not just a product, but an experience. It’s not just about sewing; it’s about creating a pocket of the Antarctic right in your living room.
