Instructions

Sew a sweet little handmade friend with this easy plushie cuddle doll sewing pattern. This simple soft doll is a lovely beginner-friendly project for anyone wanting to make a small toy, comfort doll, or handmade gift using just a small piece of polar fleece, felt, and toy filling.

The finished cuddle doll measures around 10 inches tall, making it a perfect size for little hands, quiet play, bedtime snuggles, or tucking into a handmade gift basket. Because the shape is simple and the face can be embroidered or drawn on with permanent fabric-safe markers, this project is easy to customize with different colors, expressions, and little decorative details.

This DIY plushie doll is also a great scrap-busting sewing project. Use soft fleece in a child’s favorite color, add a simple felt face, and create a one-of-a-kind cuddle toy that feels personal, comforting, and handmade with love.

Step 1: Print off the Cuddle Doll Pattern.

Step 2: Stitch the white face on one of the body pieces.

Step 3: Now with the face facing inwards stitch the two body pieces together, leave a gap for turning.

Step 4: Once you have turned and filled your doll stitch up the gap.

Step 5: Either embroider or mark your face out with permanent marker pens. Use the picture for directions.

All done!
