The Triforce Plush Sewing Tutorial

Transcription

1 This plushis one of the many free projects I ve started posting on my website as part of an adventure to destash my huge collection of scrap fabrics. I first made this plush for my best friend, so she could give several of them away for a video game party she was throwing ^-^ It s such a simple design yet so fun, I could hardly keep myself from sharing it! 1

2 Difficulty: Super simple to get through! The points of the triangle are a little tricky, but if you use fleece you can easily get through it :D Makes one 7 x 7 plush Materials & Tools: ¼ yd. of yellow fleece ⅛ yd. or a 6 x 10 scrap of black fleece Batting Sewing needle Matching sewing thread Before you begin: 1. Print out the project pattern; page 6 2. Lay out the pattern pieces on your fabric and cut them out 3. Mark the fabric pieces with the markings from the pattern 2

3 1. Attach the center piece. Begin by sewing one of the Triforce center pieces to one of the Triforce corners. Line up the edge of the center along the edge of the corner with the square markings. The ends should match up with the square markings so the edge is perfectly centered. Sew the two pieces in place. 2. Attach the corner pieces. Now you ll need to repeat this with the other sides of the Triforce center and two more Triforce corners. Again, make sure the edges are lined up with the square to get the proper centering. Repeat this with your final Triforce center piece and the remaining 3 Triforce corner pieces. So you now have a front and back Triforce :) 3

4 3. Attach the corner extensions. You ll notice at each point if your Triforce center you have a little extension where two Triforce corners meet, but aren t connected. Well, we re connecting them! Match up the edges and sew them together. The trick here is to sew all the way up to your previous seam from step 1. Try to stop exactly on the same point as where the previous seam begins, and no further. This will make your triangle look the cleanest when the project is finished. If you don t get it exactly right, the stretchiness and fluffiness of the fleece helps to cover it up, so you re in good hands ^-~ Repeat this with the back side of your Triforce. 4. Sew the Triforce sides. Now to really start giving this thing some shape :) Layer your back and front Triforce pieces together with the right sides facing each other. Along one side mark about a 5 line that s centered along the edge (it doesn t matter which side, they re all equilateral). This is going to be your opening later for when you turn the plush right side out. Now you can sew your front and back together along those straight edges, and just be sure to skip over that line so you ll have an opening. Also skip over the corners, as we ll be sewing those next. 4

5 5. Sew the Triforce corners. Time for the corners! Fold the body of your Triforce at an angle to match up the side seams you ve just sewn, and you ll see those openings in the corner lie flat to make a straight edge as you see in the picture. Sew these edges together and now you ll have some depth to your plush. Of course don t forget to do this with the other two corners, so now you have a fully formed triangular prism! 6. Sew up the opening. Now turn your plush inside out and poke the corners nicely with a chopstick, or even your fingers would do fine. Stuff it semifirmly so that it doesn t look too round and still maintains its triangular shape. Make sure the corners are stuffed really well though to give them some good definition! To finish, turn under the seam allowances in the opening you made and sew the opening together with a ladder stitch. Now give your plush a big squeeze because you are DONE!
