11 of the Most Adorable Frog Plush Beginner Sewing Patterns

Here are a few simple steps you will need to take to make a stuffed animal frog:

• Choose a frog plush pattern– Find a design that will fit your skill level, and just go for it! Plushies can be fun to make, and gifting them afterward is even better.
• Choose the fabric– Decide if you want to use plush soft fabric or sturdy wearable fabric like quilting cotton. 
• Cut out all the pieces– First, cut out the paper template pieces. Using the templates, cut out the fabric pieces. Pay close attention to any cutting instructions in the pattern.
• Piece together the frog– Following the steps in the pattern, sew the pieces together. Ensure you leave a small hole in the seam to add the stuffing.
• Stuff the frog-Using Polyfil or any other type of stuffing, stuff the frog to the desired firmness.
• Finish the frog– Once the frog is adequately stuffed, stitch the open seam closed using an invisible stitch such as a ladder stitch. Enjoy your huggable frog!

How Do You Hand Sew a Frog?

Some frog stuffed animal pattern options will include instructions for hand-sewing the pieces together. If you have one that doesn’t, you can easily use hand stitching techniques instead of a sewing machine.

Here are a few basic hand-sewing stitches you should be familiar with:

• Ladder stitch
• Blanket stitch
• Running stitch
• Whipstitch

These four stitches will help you sew any basic stuffed animal frog patterns that we will be looking at today.
