About this pattern

Of all the insects that visit our gardens, butterflies are among the most lovable with their large, colourful wings and this project makes them the star of the show!

With a soft plush body, appliquéd and embroidered wings, this pretty plushie would become any child’s favourite and with a bonus hair clip to boot, they can learn about these winged wonders while matching with their new toy.

  • Fabric: pink floral, blue floral, plain lilac, pink, yellow plush, yellow, white spot
  • Peach spot bias binding, 30cm
  • Wadding
  • Button eyes, two

    Top sewing tip
