Revoluzzza monster softie

A favourite blog of mine is Revoluzzza. There are so many gorgeous monster softies and dolls and a heap of tutorials and patterns so go and have a look. Revoluzzza.

Here's one of the gorgeous monster tutorials.

It’s a simple one and even if you are a beginner you should be able to do it.

If you have any questions while you are making the monster – just contact me. And you can make the monster with a very simple sewing machine – you only need a simple stitch and a zigzag stitch.

And the cute little monster I made during this tutorial – its name is Ninni – will be drawn by lot (my daughter and I like the RevoluzZza ribbon “lottery” that much that we want to have another “RevoluzZza lottery” ). Just leave a comment and on Friday my cute little daughter will draw by lot who will give the little beast a new home. Everybody can join – no matter where you live.

OK, let’s get started!

1. Download the pattern, print it and cut out the pattern. I chose to use different fabrics for the front and the back of the monster:

—

2. Pin the pattern on the fabrics and cut it out:

—

3. Serge the part which you will use later to close the monster with a blind stitch:

—

4. Cut out the felt eyes and sew them on the front fabric:

—

5. Now fix the felt tooth (or teeth if you want to give your monster not just one tooth) while you sew the mouth with a narrow zigzag stitch:

—

6. After you fixed the inner eyes you simply stitch a cross on the eyes by hand:

—

7. Stitch the felt heart on the monster front:

—

8. Now pin the front and the back of the monster with needles and sew the two parts together – but leave the part open which you will use to turn the monster inside out (the part you serged before):

—

9. Now you have to cut some parts of the monster: the ears, over the little arms and between the legs (like shown on the pattern you downloaded). Serge the monster with a zigzag stitch – narrower on the parts you cut:

—

10. … and this is the best moment when you create monsters and any kind of dolls and stuffed things: When you turn it inside out and see the final creature. Still a very flat monster – but already a monster

—

11. It’s almost finished. Now we only have to stuff the little beast with doll wadding and close it with a blind stitch by hand:

That’s it!
