About this pattern

Get ready to have sew much fun making Corinne Bradd's axolotl mum and baby pattern.

Whether you're a sewing beginner or just looking for a cute toy project you can whip up in one afternoon, this simple pattern is perfect for you. Inside your pack, you'll find templates to create both a large and small-sized axolotl; the instructions for both makes are exactly the same, so you can quickly make a whole family to cuddle. You'll also learn how to backstitch, oversew and whipstitch to bring these underwater pals to life. Grab your fabric and let's dive in...

Essentials

Cotton fabric, assorted shades of pink
Embroidery thread, assorted shades
Black beads: 5mm, 7mm
Fibre filling
Lightweight quilt wadding or felt scraps
Pinking shears
We used Art Gallery Fabrics' Pure Solids range for the axolotl fronds and fills. For the axolotl bodies, we used Spraytime by Makower UK.

Top sewing tip

When whipstitching, use matching thread to blend seamlessly with the fabric. Keep stitches tiny and consistent, and make sure they’re placed just inside the edge for an invisible finish.
