Choose The Best Toy Patterns For Your Project

Most of the patterns sold here at Spotlight cover more than one design, so with one pattern you can make three or four different animals or teddies, or a family of robots or hand puppets. There is also a pattern for a lovely elephant with a range of clothes and its own carry case, or you could try your hand at a gorgeous tepee with play mat.

Tips For Sewing Your Own Toys

Always keep in mind that you don't know who will get their hands on your finished toy, so keep safety at the forefront of your mind. Here are some handy tips:

• Fabric: Make sure you use strong fabric that will hold its shape and can cope with being put in the washing machine if needed. Cotton, polyester and other fabrics with a close weave are best.
• Stuffing: Buy child-safe stuffing to prevent accidents. Polyester stuffing is usually more practical than pellets, which can make a big mess if they escape from a toy or play item.
• Eyes: Consider making eyes from pieces of felt or embroidering them onto your soft toy for small kids to play with. If you do want to use plastic eyes, make sure you buy safety eyes to prevent them from being pulled loose.
• Embellishments: Buttons, sequins and other embellishments may look nice, but make sure they are not able to scratch or hurt small children.
• Stitching: Always use a small stitch and consider going over your seams twice, so the pressure, once your toy is stuffed, will not cause seams to rip.
