Puppy Plushie Pattern – Review

September 28, 2016 by Denise 29 Comments

If your kids love stuffed animals then this pattern is for you! This adorable puppy plushie pattern makes a cute little dog with diaper and bone shaped sleeping bag. It is a great advanced beginner pattern who loves to step out of their comfy zone. See what sweet little puppies I made for my daughter.

Puppy Plushie Pattern – A Review For You

In a hurry?? Head over to her shop to purchase this Puppy Plushie Pattern right away!

Plushie Puppy Pattern. A review of this adorable plush dog sewing pattern

*This post contains links to affiliates. Please see full disclosure here.

Heads up! There is a giveaway which is on the very bottom! Be sure to enter before you leave!

I was excited when I was asked to sew the Tiny Puppy Pattern, what a cutie by the way. But first a little bit about Naomi. Nimble Phish Patterns

Who is this designer?

Naomi designs honestly the cutest plushie patterns I have seen in a while! Her stuffed animal patterns have great detail such as cute facial features and some come with accessories. She writes this about her business she named NIMBLE PHISH: “As a mom I have been able to fully embrace my inner child and follow my dream of embracing life with flamboyant creativity. I only hope that I can share that with the world and bring a little of my own light into the lives of others.”

What type of patterns does NimblePhish offer?

  • Her patterns are on PDF’s and downloadable instantly
  • Her softies include dolls, baby dolls, animals & creatures plus accessories

What do her customers say?

Looking at her ratings, she has over 1500 happy customers and a full 5 stars on Etsy! That is one awesome accomplishment. Her total sales reach well over 10.000! See for yourself and click over to her shop!

My review of the adorable plush dog pattern “Tiny Puppy”: Plushie Puppy Pattern. A review of this adorable plush dog sewing pattern

Foreword:

Oh goodness, all I can say is that my daughter and I absolutely love this sweet little puppy! My daughter said the pattern should be called “Puppy Love” which is actually on the PDF file lol…

What the dog softie pattern contains:

  1. Printable pattern pieces for the head, ears, tail, arms, front body with legs, back body with legs, diaper and bone shaped sleeping bag
  2. 11 pages to print
  3. Picture tutorial with easy to follow steps and how to achieve the cute puppy facial features such as cheeks and floppy ears

Details about the puppy pattern:

  • the finished puppy measures about 12″ long
  • suitable materials are fleece, craft velour or suede cloth as per her listing.
  • you want to be able to do a ladder stitch as this is required for closing the openings
Plushie Puppy Pattern. A review of this adorable plush dog sewing pattern

Here is another puppy I made with my daughter.

What I liked about the pattern:

  • I liked the simplicity of the pattern pieces as too many pieces would make this pattern more difficult to complete
  • Her pictures are great and help tremendously in creating this plush dog pattern

What I suggest adding/changing to/about this pattern:

  • Although this pattern is for a TINY puppy, most pattern pieces are big enough to handle well. For turning the sewn pieces with right sides out, I would increase the width of the arm and ear template about 1/4″. They are a bit fiddly to work with.
  • I suggest using a turning tool to help with turning the sewn pieces
  • On page 2, step 4 and 5: I changed this a bit to make it easier because the tail is super tiny and it would be difficult to sew the finished tail onto the back bodice. I sewed the tail together first and then I was able to sew the entire bodice with tail at once. See images of the step below.

    So cute! NimblePhish patterns are just so adorable it’s hard to choose! I’m fairly good at making plushies, but I struggle with sculpting.

    I would love to make Tid-Bit the Sitting Elf, The Naughty Little Gremlin and Bebe Bunny Plushie! I just love their long arms and cute faces! Bebe Bunny looks absolutely adorable with her button add ons to turn her into a puppet! Must try that!

    I sew for foster kids. They come into the system with only the clothes on their back. I want each child to have something to hold when they’re scared. I love the the tiny puppy and bunny and the teensy tike play set. It’s all about the smiles!

    Oh my gosh they are all so cute it’s very hard to choose just 3. I want them all! My great-grandbabies would absolutely adore these. They would make great Christmas gifts for them. I finally narrowed it down to three. I would choose: The Sweater Monkey – Complete Tiny Baby Love Pattern Pack and Chip & His PJ’s. I will be ordering patterns later on to make Christmas presents for the babies. Email to contact me is: [email protected]. Thank you for the great giveaway. God bless.

    I always hear wonderful things about Nimblephish. I would be so happy to get a jumpstart on Christmas with these.
    I would love Night Rider, Fox & Hound and that tiny puppy which would be so fun to work on with my son.
