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. I have been keeping this project a secret for far too long, and now that it is up on Buzz Feed I can finally share the reveal with you all! You may remember when I asked you all to vote on whether I should make a Narwhal Whale or a Loch Ness monster.
