i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍

I literally can’t I’m losing my mind over the sheer girth of this frog.

Absolutely incredible.

11/10 and godspeed.

Ok so this is going to take a couple posts cuz last time i tried to post after i had all my info in and it deleted everything when i hit the reblog button 🥴

Without further a do

The Frog Tutorial
(Part 1)

1. First have all your cutouts ready!!!

you can choose at this stage to sew the eyes on or you can wait to position them how you want on the face, I’m doing it later, so that part of the tutorial will be addressed in another installment.

(Im using white thread so its easier to see how i sew)

2. Put one of the sides on top of the belly piece, lining up their nose tips in the center.

3. Stick your needle through the top of the side piece through the belly piece, pull the thread through, and loop back around to the top to sew how i do, keep repeating until you reach the arm!

4. For the arms/legs youll want to make sure in these crevices (circled in green) are sewn 2-3 times to make sure the fabric is secure and no holes open up, do this with every crevice!

5. After that sew all the way down to the almost the middle of the butt but leaving space in the middle just as the og pattern suggests.

6. Clip off the excess thread after this since we will have to start sewing in a different area in the next part.

The Frog Tutorial (part 2)

7. Line up the side pieces together, using the tips of their faces to line up the back sides

8. Start sewing again in the middle of the back end of the pieces, not all the way at the bottom where they would meet the belly piece,, otherwise the frog will have a concave ass.

9. Once youve sewn up all the back to the front the face pieces should line up, here you will just need to get as close to the belly piece then sew through to the belly piece to start doing the rest of the frog

10. Once you get to the back of the front leg, tie it off so its not getting in the way, and then were going to flip the frog inside out.

11. To get the feets out just push them using a somewhat skinny but blunt object so they stick out like this

NOW WERE GONNA DO EYES!

12. To do the eyes, push the needle through the inside to the outside after rethreading it and making sure it has a really good knot,

13. After its through pull the thread all the way through till it hits the knot and then skewer the pompom thru the middle, pushing it all the way down till it rests on the head.

14. After its on the head, pierce the pompom again and back through the interior, here you can flip the frog inside out and sew a little through the interior of the fleece and tie a knot so its secure, or you can sew the pompom a couple more times to make it more attached to the head.

Last friggin part to the Frog Tutorial

With eyes this guy should look a bit cuter lol

15. Anyway flip the frog back inside out, and sew up the rest until you have this little space left open.

16. With this little space, we will pull the frog head first out its own butt. So you may have a flat frog such as this one here.

17. Next push out the little feet nubbins and then stUFF THE FROG

18. Turn that bad boy around and the butt should look like this.

19. To fix the unfortunate butt shape, keep the fabric tucked inward towards the stuffing and keep sewing like normal until completion!

Tie the frog up and youre all done!!!

🎉🎊🎉 Congrats you’ve made a frog :) 🎉🎊🎉

I can't tell whether seahorses or pipefish are weirder, I think objectively seahorses are more weird but we've just been desensitized by seeing them everywhere in media whereas you're taken aback seeing this thing for the first time
