How to make your own plush Warriors!
 |
1. Gather your supplies. You will need the following: felt, cotton stuffing, scissors, tape, sewing needle(s), thread, Warrior's Wish cat face template, small fabric scraps, pencil, buttons. If you don't know the colour of your cats, you may also want a Warriors book with the alligences. |
 |
2. Get ready by getting one sheet of felt, one pair of buttons, scissors, tape, a template, thread, needle, a scrap and cotton batting. |
 |
3. Begin by taping your template to he felt along the edges. This will make the shape easier to cut out. |
 |
4. Cut out the shape from the felt. Repeat steps 3 & 4 to make another felt shape. |
 |
5. If your cat is a tabby, cut stripes out from another template and position them on your cat. |
 |
6. When you are satisfied with your stripes, tape them to a bar of felt and cut them out. |
 |
7. Sew the stripes onto the front side of one of your cat face shapes. Now sew the buttons on as eyes. Finally, stitch the mouth and nose in. It's easier to stitch through both the first layer of felt, but also through a scrap piece of fabric as well. This helps the stitching stand out more on the face. |
 |
8. Turn it over, and you're almost finished! Turn the face over, so you can't see the face features. Sew the other cat shape together with the first one; so the eyes are facing the inside. Stop stitching and give yourself about an inch from completing the sewing of the faces together. Carefully turn the face inside out, and stuff it with cotton batting. Now finish the sewing. |
 |
9. And Ta-da! You're finished! Turning the cat inside out makes the stitcher neater, and hides any little mishaps that happened while sewing them together. But if you want to, you can just sew the together without that trick. I've made a Darkstripe hobokitty, which Warrior cat will you make? |
