How to make a penguin plushie! ...

Hey there guys, so recently I made a Penguin plushie and after uploading my tutorial on the Crab plushie I thought I'd do one on the Penguin.

So you will need:

  • Black, White and yellow felt
  • Black, White and yellow thread
  • A needle
  • Some stuffing
  • Scissors
  • A pencil
  • A piece of paper
 So the first step is to draw the template and draw around them. I didn't take a picture of the template because I thought it would just be easier to see this way. But you need two black oval shapes, a white smaller oval shape, two back wings and 1 black crown kind of shape for the fluff.
Thread your needle with black thread and sew both wings on the sides of one of the black ovals.








It should look like this on the inside ....

And like this on the outside, try and make you stitches as small as possible, I used a back stitch for this.
Next sew the fluff crown shape onto the top of the same black oval you sewed the wings on to. It should look like this...
 Next is the face, this is where you need two black circles for the eyes, a yellowy orange triangle for the beak and I sewed the mouth on with black thread. If I did this again I'd change the mouth.
Sew the face onto the other black oval OR you could use fabric glue. Once you've done that, take the two pieces and start sewing them together, i used a blanket stitch for this.
Leave a little bit left to get the stuffing in and put as much stuffing in as possible, the more the better!
And it should look something like this, like I said before I don't particularly like the face but it was my first time make this.

 I hope you try this if you do tell me in the comments below, thanks for reading, byyee x
