I have a pet hedgehog named Clover, so I made a mini version of this and gave it to her. She snuggles with it and plays with it all the time and it's super cute. Thanks for making this video!
I've had such a busy and exhausting few weeks with all my university work but seeing comments like this just make my whole day, week, month, life. This just makes me so, so happy. Please give Clover a cuddle from me! And it's so worth it to make videos for lovely people like you. :)
Could I make a suggestion? When cutting out the faux fur or "fake" fur, flip the fabric over and kind of pull the fur away from where you're cutting or use an exact-o knife and only cut through the fabric layer so you're not cutting the fur.
Love this :) I have some fur fabric so I might even make one for my bed, however just a quick tip with fur fabrics: - If you flip the fabric over and draw the pattern on the other side - the fabric is so dense you couldn't even make out a sharpie marker. - Rather than cutting straight across the fibres (leaving a LOT of fluffy mess) you part the fur with your scissors (close to the base material) and cut carefully, you should have a cleaner cut, and the fluff scraps you pull away can be bagged and used in other projects (such as polymer clay animals, doll hair, ect.) - When the piece is cut out, brush out the seam and then trim 1 cm or so of the fur to the very base so it's easier to sew the seams together and get a nice fluffy turn-out when you reverse the project for the stuffing phase. :3 Yours truly, A daughter of someone who uses a tonne of fur fabric and learned some tricks herself :D
Avery Hall I buy them from Fabric stores. I'm in Australia, so I get them from Lincraft and Spotlight ^u^ If you can find an online wholesaler you could potentially get some cheaper from there!
Are you thinking on making a Turtle plush toy ? I used Dark Brown (medium weight felt) for the body since fur kept jamming in my sewing machine. My hedge hog is names Clever
+Joe's world I'm sure they will! I think black may look more realistic, but a little snowy white hedgehog could be really cute too! :) Thank you so much!
This video was really useful! My nana loves hedgehog and has a collection of hedgehog figures so I'm going to make this as a gift for her since she knows I like to sew and always encourages me to sew more and I think she'll love it! Ty for this video 🦔🦔
I'm from South Africa, so if I can find it here, I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere :P If you have a Jo-Ann's Store near you, I'd try that. :)
I went on to your website and found the materials but no pattern. I was wondering if you supply the pattern or we make it up. love your chanel by the way .💜
So cute! A little tip: never cut faux fur fabric from the top. Always use the fabric side (the ‘wrong side’), draw the shape on that side and cut out carefully with scissors or blade. This way you don’t cut the actual hair fibers on top :)
Actually with faux fur I learned you can minimize the shedding by using a razor blade to cut out your pattern from the backing of the fabric, instead of scissors. :)
+Mew Mew I think the list is at the start of the video... I used beige fleece, fake fur fabric, black felt, and stuffing, and obviously thread in those colours. You'll also need basic sewing supplies such as pins, needles, scissors, and a sewing machine.
I hate to ask this but, do you think you can start adding links to patterns in the description? I can't draw for my life and I have all the fabric I could need for this Hedgehog but no pattern. heh. I was just asking!
Hey! I unfortunately made this video over a year ago, but I'm trying to make and post patterns for all of my new patterns that need ones. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to go back and make patterns for my old ones, though I'll try to do one for this project when I have a gap. But I made a pattern for my Mini Elephant Plush and I'm trying to make ones for all my upcoming plushies! :)
+Lauren Gluck Yes! My only concern is that you might find the fur fabric a bit tricky to sew with, but you can always just give it a try! My Pusheen plush video might be a bit easier for a beginner's project though. :)
Totally possible! It will take a bit longer, but you could always make a smaller one if that's a concern! I love hand-sewing things while sitting and watching series, so if you have some time, you can just sit and sew and watch a few episodes of something (I'd recommend A Series Of Unfortunate Events)! :D
Hello! My daughter and I were looking at crafting videos for hedgehogs, since they are her favorite animal. She absolutely loves and is obsessed with your video. It has actually been a month or two since we have seen it, and she watches it practically every day! Unfortunately, we don't have a sewing machine, and she hasn't been getting results by hand. I would also try to make it for her, but I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's, so the tremors get in the way quite a bit. She admires you very much, and it would mean the world if she could be even further inspired by your crafting! I was wondering if it would be possible for us to commission you to make one? I would totally understand if this is not possible, but it would really make our day. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I truly appreciate it!
hello! I'm french and I love what you do! I have just a question, I know that this video is old but... : Where do you found your "fake fur" ??? I really hope that you will answer me, meanwhile I make you big kisses and I continue to watch your videos!
Hi! As you may have seen, I found it in a local fabric store in my city! Try looking online or in your own local fabric stores. :) Have a great day, and thank you for your lovely words!
Tanya Eddy Aww that makes me so happy! I hope she likes it! 💕 I live in South Africa and we don't have JoAnns here, but I wish we did because I've heard that it's INCREDIBLE! 😻👌🏻

What country are you in? Most fabric shops will have some, but you may have to shop around - I was lucky to find it in one of the fabric shops in my city.
+Jess D I think I actually made a pattern for a tiny elephant a while back! Would you like a little one, or a big one (more like a cushion like this)? :)
+Kenneth Ferrer I actually haven't done this yet, but I have a Star Wars-related video coming out TONIGHT - I just need to edit the intro and upload it! But let me know which characters you'd like to see and I'll try them out!
Okay, so, I got inspired and there could be two Star Wars: The Force Awakens plushie tutorials coming soon (provided I can make a pattern that actually works) :P Look out for them in the next few weeks!

Bunni Art OoO that's the cutest thing ever I'm so jealous
Hunter Powers
OMG so cute yet so simple
Luna's Waffles that's sooo cute I wish I had a pet hedgehog....

This is super helpful. Will definitely try this method next time! Thank you!

Danika Clark where did you buy the fur fabric??
Avery Hall I buy them from Fabric stores. I'm in Australia, so I get them from Lincraft and Spotlight ^u^
If you can find an online wholesaler you could potentially get some cheaper from there!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I wanted to ask if I could download the cut out pattern? Thank you!
This is the cutest plush I've ever seen oh my god THANK YOU. THIS WAS SO GOOD.
Pam Souvongkham Aw, I'm so so glad you liked it!
Why is this the cutest thing I've ever seen
I'm going to make this pattern into a plush Shaymin! It's so cute!
Are you thinking on making a Turtle plush toy ?
I used Dark Brown (medium weight felt) for the body since fur kept jamming in my sewing machine. My hedge hog is names Clever
It's really good!! Like, how could someone get so talented??!!
Hi! I couldn't find any brown fur but I found black and white fur will they work? If so which colour is better black or white? P.s I love ur videos!!!
+Joe's world I'm sure they will! I think black may look more realistic, but a little snowy white hedgehog could be really cute too! :) Thank you so much!
+Lauren Dixon-Paver thank you for the reply!!!:)
It's a pleasure! :) Thanks for watching my videos!
In 5:16, what's the point of using a buddy piece? I mean the inside brown fabric.
Hey, I'm not sure I understand what you mean? :)
ahh, i just figured it out.I thought the hedgehog's fur piece was two pieces but I rewatched it and realised it was just one :)
This is so adorable, is there any way I can get the pattern? Please!
This video was really useful! My nana loves hedgehog and has a collection of hedgehog figures so I'm going to make this as a gift for her since she knows I like to sew and always encourages me to sew more and I think she'll love it! Ty for this video 🦔🦔
Oh I am so glad! Please share a photo when you’re done - I can’t wait to see!!!
Where did you buy that faux fur? It looks really nice, but I can't seem to find it anywhere?
+Danie James I don't really know where you live, so I can't really recommend anywhere, but I found mine at a local fabric store. :)
+Lauren Dixon-Paver Thank you! I don't think we have the same stores since I'm from California. I also love your plush tutorials
I'm from South Africa, so if I can find it here, I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere :P If you have a Jo-Ann's Store near you, I'd try that. :)
I do have Jo-Ann's. Is that where you got the fabric from?
No, because we don't have a Jo-Ann's here, but I've heard they're super great - so hopefully they'll have something you can use for this project. :)
At first I thought you bought that because you made it so good!!!
+Roshaunda Mc Farlene I promise it's all handmade :D Thank you!
love the video!! And can u add 2 more legs to make 4 legs or is it going to look weird?
To be honest the best part of DIYing stuff is that you can do ANYTHING! :D Just experiment!
Thanks :-)
do you have a pattern or/ what are the lengths, etc?
I soooo need to make one, what is the hedgehogs body made from exactly? When I type in fake fur fabric, that stuff doesn't come up. 😢
+HeyItsBecca 330 Maybe try "faux fur fabric" as well? I found this one in my local fabric shop. :)
where did you get the fake fur? i cant find it anywhere?
where do you get all of supplys
I went on to your website and found the materials but no pattern. I was wondering if you supply the pattern or we make it up. love your chanel by the way .💜
What are you going to do with the rest of the fluffy fabric☺️
+Create That! I'm not sure yet! :) Do you have any suggestions?!
+Lauren Dixon-Paver I have a suggestion :3 maybe a baby hedgehog? (Even though I'm not the one your talking to lol)
can you please let us know what fabrics you used?
The face is from a polar fleece, the body is from a fake fur and the face details are black felt. :)
Lovely! Link to where you got the fur? Or store name?
Unfortunately I got it from a real-life store here in South Africa that doesn't sell online. :( Sorry!
where did you find those piceses of fabric?
My local fabric store! :)
So cute!
A little tip: never cut faux fur fabric from the top. Always use the fabric side (the ‘wrong side’), draw the shape on that side and cut out carefully with scissors or blade. This way you don’t cut the actual hair fibers on top :)
Wouldnt the fake fur shed a bunch since you cut it up?
+Brooke Dendiu It does just after you cut it, but a good shake outside or in a bag gets rid of that - once it's sewn, there shouldn't be a problem. :)
Actually with faux fur I learned you can minimize the shedding by using a razor blade to cut out your pattern from the backing of the fabric, instead of scissors. :)
would I be able to make this the pusheen pug and fox and sell them or are they copyrighted
nope no worry's desired I'm doing jewlery instead
+F King Pretty sure Pusheen is copyrighted, but the pug, fox and hedgehog are all my designs, but you can pretty much do what you want with them. :)
May I have the list of items needed to make this project?
+Mew Mew also is there any way to get the pattern?
+Mew Mew I think the list is at the start of the video... I used beige fleece, fake fur fabric, black felt, and stuffing, and obviously thread in those colours. You'll also need basic sewing supplies such as pins, needles, scissors, and a sewing machine.
+Mew Mew No, I basically just scribbled a skew tear-drop shape. :P
lol ok thank you..! XD
Plush fabric doesn't damage sewing machine ?
It's never damaged mine. :)
Where did you get the fur
I love hedgehogs so much, great tutorial!
+Δri Elizabeth Thanks. :D
I loved your videos
My daughter loves that thing that you've waited this video
I hate to ask this but, do you think you can start adding links to patterns in the description? I can't draw for my life and I have all the fabric I could need for this Hedgehog but no pattern. heh. I was just asking!

What the length or width of the nose pls help!
Can you make a bunny plush?? 🐰
Amazing tutorial and so easy to follow! Cute
Do u think this would be good for beginners
+Lauren Gluck Yes! My only concern is that you might find the fur fabric a bit tricky to sew with, but you can always just give it a try! My Pusheen plush video might be a bit easier for a beginner's project though. :)
+Lauren Dixon-Paver ok thx I love pusheen
I found this video while looking for pillow diys and when I finished watching your I immediately subscribed
+Danielle Sinclair Aww, thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything else in particular you'd like to see me make! :)
+Lauren Dixon-Paver can u do a tutorial of an ugly doll please
Same
I LOVE HEDGEHOGS!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
It's so cute when u make it looks like running around the place
Do you have a pattern of this one or the dimensions of how big you make yours? And how much fabric would I need to by for this project?
Unfortunately I didn't make a pattern, but I used about half a meter of the fur fabric, and just some scraps of the others!
how much polyester or dakron you need, .
Totally depends on how big you want to make your hedgehog!
Like yours?
Can you hand-sew this? I don't have a machine but I really want to make it!
Totally possible! It will take a bit longer, but you could always make a smaller one if that's a concern! I love hand-sewing things while sitting and watching series, so if you have some time, you can just sit and sew and watch a few episodes of something (I'd recommend A Series Of Unfortunate Events)! :D
