She LOVES her stuffed “duck” as she calls it. Cut the corners so that the edges are tilted. Then determine how wide a grin you want Nessie top have on her face. Pin the strip of felt you cut for the smile on. Next, position them symmetrically on the face and pin in place. Roll the rectangles into ball shapes and sew the ball in place until it is a complete sphere. Cut out two rectangles for the eyes, and one long strip of fabric for the smile.

Pin them in place and hand stitch them on. Position the two flippers on each side of the body facing away from each other, pointing out. Now you finally have a use for them!Once you are done stuffing it, sew up the opening.įill your flippers with stuffing, and then position them on Nessie’s body.

If you want extra support in the back just in case you have a feeling that Nessie is going to be used as a rocking horse (and yes, that was my daughter’s first reaction was) you can use the 200+ plastic grocery bags you have been hording as extra support for the back. You want to make sure to REALLY stuff the neck super good so that it will stand up straight and be supported. The above photo shows how the body looks turned inside out.Ī great cheap alternative to buying an expensive bag of poly fill is buying a cheap pillow (the ones they sell for $3) and using the fluff in the pillow. Now turn the body inside out by pulling it through the hole. Once you’re done, it should look like the above photo.Continue sewing the rest of the body up, and leave an opening at the neck for turning inside out and stuffing. Sew the belly piece onto the body pieces. Now lay the belly piece evenly on top of both half’s of the body piece. Place both of your body pieces on top of each other, and lift up the bottom part, as shown above. This is what it should look like after you’ve turned it inside out. Pull it through the opening you left open. Make sure to leave a small opening on the curved edge of the flipper so you can turn it inside out and stuff it.įelt is super easy to hand stitch with, so if you don’t have a sewing machine, that’s totally ok. Stitch all of the 8 flippers together in pairs of two. Using 1.5 yards of felt, cut out 8 flippers (they are stacked in pairs of two in the photo above), 1 belly piece, and 2 body pieces. Print and cut all the pages out and then attach all of the pieces together, as shown above. Please, don’t redistribute or sell this pattern and/or items made from this pattern and tutorial. The sewing process for Nessie was interesting… I guess it’s natural for a two year old’s gut reaction to be to jump on the super cool stuffed animal mommy is sewing, and then proceed to use it as a rocking horse… I had to work in a room all by myself to make any progress on this stuffed animal!Ī bag of stuffing, 1.5 yards of Felt for the Body (you can make it with just 1 yard, but it never hurts to get a little more than you need), a small sheet of Pink Felt for the patches (you know the small sheets they sell for like 30 cents), a small sheet of Black felt for the eyes & the mouth, and threads to match.
