Do you love Garfield, the famous orange cat known for his love of lasagna and disdain for Mondays? If so, why not create your own custom Garfield plush toy to add to your collection? Making a plush toy may seem like a daunting task, but with some patience and creativity, you can bring this beloved character to life in the form of a soft and cuddly toy.

To start, gather all the materials you will need for this project. You will need orange fabric for Garfield’s body, white and black felt for his eyes and stripes, stuffing material such as polyester fiberfill or cotton batting, needle and thread or a sewing machine, scissors, pins, and any other embellishments you want to add to your plush toy.

Next, create a pattern for your Garfield stuffed animal plush toy. You can either draw one yourself based on pictures of Garfield or find a template online. Cut out the pieces from your chosen fabric according to the pattern – two pieces for the body (front and back), two white circles for the eyes, two black ovals for the pupils, and several thin strips of black felt for Garfield’s iconic stripes.

Once you have all your pieces cut out, it’s time to sew them together. Start by sewing the eyes onto one of the body pieces using a satin stitch or embroidery floss. Then attach the black pupils on top of the white circles using small stitches. Next, sew on Garfield’s stripes along his back using a straight stitch or applique technique.

After adding all these details to one side of your plush toy’s body piece, place both body pieces together with right sides facing each other. Pin them in place around the edges before sewing along those edges with a ¼ inch seam allowance. Leave an opening at least 2 inches wide so that you can turn your plush toy right side out later.
