How to Sew the Cutest Lamb Stuffed Animal (Video Tutorial)

Everyone loves stuffed animals, especially when they’re handmade and sewn in Cuddle® and Luxe Cuddle® minky fabrics! This precious little lamb would be a great baby shower gift, expectant mom gift, or gift for toddlers or children of any age that’ll last for years and years.

Affectionately named “Lamkins Lamb”, this sew-at-home lamb plushie was designed by Pauline over at Funky Friends Factory. The pattern can be found for instant download here, and it would make a sweet keepsake for all ages. It would even be suitable for babies, but we suggest you embroider the eyes instead of using beads or craft eyes. The finished toy measures approx. 9", but can be sized up or down depending on taste.

Happy sewing!

Tips for making a Lamkins Lamb stuffed animal

• Print at 150% (or enlarge your pattern via copying) to make it easier to assemble with Cuddle®.
• Using at 100% is difficult, and will require more hand basting.
• Make sure to transfer all markings/letters onto reverse side of fabric using a felt tip pen.
• Read instructions carefully! They are well-written, but construction isn't always in the order you expect.
• Use Royal Silk from Fairfield World for a softer and huggable stuffie.
• Pin perpendicular to the cut edge, every 1/2" or closer to keep fabric together as you sew.
• Have a stiletto handy to help bring the fabric through more easily.
