Create your own custom pattern from scratch. Now you can make your own original stuffed animal!

Stuffed animal making has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more people selling their handmade items online and at in-person events.

While making stuffed animals, you may have questions like:
"How do I adjust the head?"
"How do I make a pattern for a complex stuffed animal?"
"What can I do to get it closer to the image in the design drawing?"

This book explains the basics of stuffed animal making, from creating a design drawing to assembling paper patterns or creating a clay prototype. With practical examples, it explains how to make a pattern. It also includes pattern templates that are OK for commercial use, allowing you to combine the individual parts to create stuffed animals like bears, rabbits, and elephants.
The author, who runs a stuffed animal making class, has compiled the pattern-making know-how he has taught his students.

This book is aimed at advanced users, including artists who regularly exhibit at events and those who want to create original stuffed animals, and will help you bring your imagination to life.
*Please note that completed works created by combining Chapters 1-3 and 4 are not commercially available.
