Sewing patterns for babies and children: a collection of 20 designs
Bring a touch of homemade charm to your child's playtime with these delightful toy sewing patterns. From a cuddly pig with a pink snout and curly tail to a festive penguin for stocking fillers, there's an array of options to choose from.
The collection includes a kangaroo toy, an elephant, a dragon, a cat, and even a unicorn, all designed to captivate your little one's imagination. The giraffe rattle is a scrap-busting project, perfect for using up odds and ends of fabric.
For beginners, the fox toy pattern is a great starting point, while more experienced sewers might appreciate the intricate detailing of the unicorn sewing pattern, designed by Jo Carter. New additions to the collection include the teddy bear and rag doll patterns, adding to the diverse selection.
Safety is paramount when it comes to children's toys. To ensure your homemade creations are as safe as possible, it's recommended to embroider or sew eyes instead of using plastic safety eyes. Marking the position of the eyes prior to sewing is important, and stranded cotton is ideal for stitching eyes.
For those seeking patterns with a higher level of detail, some include black plastic eyes, which can be a choking hazard for very young children. In such cases, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when fitting plastic safety eyes.
Each toy sewing pattern can be found in the Simply Sewing Shop, offering a convenient one-stop-shop for all your sewing needs. With 20 free patterns available, there's no shortage of inspiration for your next handmade project.
