Stuffed Giraffe Toy sewing pattern
In our opinion, one of the most fun things you can sew for children is soft toys. The sewing pattern we recommend today is for these stuffed giraffes. They are cuddly, full of personality, fun, adorable, and great for kids of all ages. Darn it – I want one too. He’d look good on my nightstand and I could use him to hold my watch and jewelry while I sleep. Why should the kids get all the fun?
This giraffe could become a much-loved favorite toy and appreciated for years. Longer lasting than sewing an item of clothing which the young ones will grow out of in no time. Often these smaller projects are great for using up your smaller fabric pieces and scraps too, or even ideal for recycling old clothing, especially soft fabrics like t-shirts and pajamas.
Finished giraffe size: Approximately 16”(40cm) high x 7” (18cm) long
Skill level: Some sewing experience helpful
Although this pattern makes a giraffe at 16 inches tall as standard, you can make him smaller if you like by printing the pattern at a lower percentage. Instead of printing at ‘actual size’ use 80% to make him 20% smaller. Easy!

- 1/2 yard (46cm) of main fabric (he looks great in a pretty quilting cotton),
