I’m sooooo excited to show you my newest range of easy soft toy patterns which were inspired by my recent trip to Japan!
I have called this range
Kawaii Kuties…
as these pattens are for toys that all have OVER-SIZED heads and HUGE eyes which gives them a typical kawaii look. IF you’re not sure what kawaii means – it’s the Japanese word for CUTE. A perfect example is ‘Hello Kitty’ but if you think of bright, colourful, small baby animals that instantly make you go
“Awwwwww – THAT’s CUTE!”
then you’re on the right track!!! Here are some of the fabulous kawaii fabrics I have used for these easy animal doll patterns!
I was only going to make one kawaii easy toy pattern but I got so excited designing my first kawaii soft toy…
that I ended up making THREE!
So far I have designed
but I am sure there’ll be more as they were so much fun to design and make!!!
These easy patterns make a perfect first sewing project for a beginner because they are QUICK and FUN to make. They will be great for using up your fabric stash and make cute baby toys too! The Kawaii Kuties Patterns include links to get the patterns for the felt DRESS and PANTS so you can have fun dressing up your little animal dolls once you have sewn them!
The simple DRESS PATTERN is made with only
one piece of felt!
The felt PANTS SEWING PATTERN is just as simple and made from ONLY one piece too! I have to say, I think the pants look cutest from behind – haha!
What a sweet little bottom!!!
😀
I wonder which Kawaii Kutie you’ll want to make first?

Till next time…
Happy Sewing,

Love them all but I am particularly fond of the fox and I know my girls would be too!!
I love the Tanaku the best!!! He’s so cute!!!!
I love them all but I think my favourite is the Tanuki (closely followed by the Fox)
I love the fox x
i love the fox, though love to make them all! 🙂
Its almost impossible to choose but if i really have to i think id go for the Tanuki love the eyes. Also if its easy, as im new to this, I might be able to make it before my baby is due in 6 weeks. =)
No wonder you called them cute…!!! Hard to pick but I’d say the overalls do it for me, and I just live fox softies. You are so very clever!
awww I love the little fox! too cute!!
I just love the fox! 🙂
I love them all they are so cute 🙂 But if I had to choose it would have to be Mr Foxy 🙂 xx
So cute! Hard to choose a favourite, but probably the fox!
Love all these little cutes xxxxxx
Thank you for your super patterns
Love the Japanese Tanuki or Racoon. They are all really cute though. 🙂
I’m not seeing any squirrel love here!! So that gets my vote mainly because I have a whole squirrel thing going on with my BFF which started from the rude Gran skit on Catherine Tate. If you have a high tolerance for swear words, check it out on YouTube!
PS: I love the other two too. 🙂
I like them all but really love the Tanuki.
I love love love mr fox he is lush
I love the fox. He’s very dapper.
I think they are all pretty cute, but my favourite is the fox.
I like all three. Great designs! I would love to win the Fox.
They are all so very ‘kute’ but I think the Tanuki is my favourite.
They are all pretty darn cute, but if I had to pick one I would go for the raccoon. 🙂
They are all very cute! I think the Tanuki is the most unusual!
My favorite is definitely the raccoon!! I love the pink/tan combo!
I love them all but I really love that fox. His overalls are so cute!

Thank for making these patterns, they are all way to cute!! 😀
They are so cute but my favorite is the fox.
Foxy mama is my favorite
Tanuki, the raccoon, is simply adorable. All of them are.
ii can’t decide between the tanuki or the fox!
Ohhh I love all of them but I want to try the racoon first! Next month I will be aunt again of baby girl twins and will love to make them some cute she-racoons. Pick me! Pick me! Please 😉
