Chiikawa Plush Sewing Pattern – Head & Full-Body Options

Sew your own adorable pink Chiikawa-inspired plush with this printable PDF sewing pattern and step-by-step tutorial. This versatile pattern includes pieces for both a 10 cm (3.9 in) head-only mini plush and a complete full-body plush, so you can choose your favorite style and mix and match the facial expression and construction.

Two Plush Options in One Pattern

• Mini head plush: approximately 10 cm (3.9 in), perfect for a palm-sized plush, bag charm or cute small gift.
• Full-body plush: use the included head, long ears, body, arms and legs to sew a complete character plush.
• Mix and match: choose the expression you like and pair it with either the head-only or full-body construction.

Step-by-Step Sewing Tutorial Included

The included tutorial walks you through the making process, including preparing and cutting the fabric pieces, creating the embroidered facial details, sewing the plush pieces together, turning, stuffing and finishing your plush.

Skill Level

Advanced Beginner. The pattern uses manageable plush shapes and curved seams. Some patience is helpful when sewing small pieces, turning and stuffing the plush, attaching the limbs and embroidering the facial details.

Finished Size

Head-only version: approximately 10 cm (3.9 in) when the pattern is printed at 100% / actual size.

The full-body version is larger and uses the included body, arm, leg and long-ear pattern pieces. Finished dimensions can vary slightly depending on fabric, seam allowance and stuffing.

Pattern Includes

• Head pattern pieces
• Long ear pattern pieces
• Body pattern pieces
• Arm and leg pattern pieces
• Facial placement and embroidery details
• Step-by-step sewing tutorial

Recommended Fabrics
