10 Free Toy Sewing Patterns

Sew something special with these free toy sewing patterns. Make heartwarming DIY toy projects you can stitch for kids. These toy patterns go beyond just plushies to dolls.

Handmade toys are the best, aren’t they? If you were lucky enough to get some as gifts as a child, you probably still have them. They are usually a huge part of sentimental memories we have a child and unless they are totally damaged, it is hard to get rid of them. You may have even passed them down to your own children at this point. If you are hoping to make some toys for a child in your own life, here are 10 free toy sewing patterns to get you started.

10 Free Toy Sewing Patterns

Wild Olive has a great Flying Squirrel pattern to make. He would be awesome for even the smallest of kids and since he even folds up nice, it’s great toy to bring everywhere.

A classic toy to sew is the Sock Monkey and if you are looking for a great pattern for one, Craft Passion has a great one for you to do!

Most children have a play tool set or even some play cooking utensils. Wouldn’t this Child’s Tool Belt from Make it & Love it be perfect for pretend play?

Crazy Little Projects has a great tutorial and pattern for a Superhero Set. It includes a cape and a mask!

If you have a child that loves to play pretend they are a fairy or a princess, these Magic Wands from Rhythm & Rhyme might be just what you are looking for. They even use scraps to make it!

For very little ones, a stacking toy is often one of the first thing parents get for them. Make your own soft Stacking Ring Toy from She Knows.

Butterfly Balcony has a link to a great Felty Dinosaur pattern. I absolutely fell in love with this when I saw it!

I think Yo-Yo Dog is so adorable with its corduroy head and pink felt tongue sticking out. His body is made almost entirely of fabric yo-yos! The designer says he can do lots of poses, too, which could keep kids occupied for a while.

What little one wouldn’t love getting a big, soft, huggable Mermaid doll? This Modest Mermaid Doll from the Crafting Fiend allows you to make a doll that has a removable mermaid tail but stays modest. How awesome is that?

The Funky Friends Factory website has this free Gingerbread Man softie pattern for free-free, and Honey the teddy-bear available as a freebie when you sign up for the newsletter. Be warned – she makes it sound like the teddy bear is a gateway to wanting to sew soft stuffed animals all the time. 🙂

And if you’re sewing up a lot of toys, you’ll want this toy bag/playmat from Clarks Condensed. It’s a drawstring bag that lays flat and then – swoop! – you pull the drawstrings to scoop up all the toys for another day. This would be great for travel, or playdates, or small home group meetings.
