Free Softies Patterns

Simple, Free Stuffed Toy Patterns

Whether they're called softies, stuffies or plushies, simple little stuffed toys are catching on in the craft world. They're quick and easy to make, easily customisable because of their simple shapes, and they make great, inexpensive but heartfelt gifts.

Even a beginner can make a softie, so it's a great way to learn to sew and have something more exciting than a pillow or tote bag to show for it. As patterns get a little more complicated, you'll learn new techniques, all without having to use a lot of fabric or get anything completely perfect.

These free softie patterns will get you started with this exciting craft - you'll be drafting your own patterns in no time!
