Bring more joy into you and others’ lives with The Tucson Puppet Lady's Horse Hand Puppet Sewing Pattern! Included in this pattern are adaptations to make a Zebra and Unicorn! Using your sewing machine (serger not necessary) and our PDF sewing pattern you can sew a unique, fun and playful puppet that has a moveable mouth. Your puppet will be one of a kind because you made it!

Your finished puppet is:
-Constructed out of fleece and felt (easy to find, cost effective and very forgiving for sewing mistakes)
-Hand washable and air dry
-Sized for adult hands
-For kids the pattern can be reduced (more info at the printing instructions at end of description)
-Too adorable with twirling arms and a flexible mouth to make expressions
-Very lightweight compared to store bought stuffed puppets, something to consider when performing
-About 14” high

Why sew a puppet?
-You can express your creativity by making a one of a kind character
- Family activity where moms and grandmas sew with the kids
-A gift from the heart
-Teachers and therapists would love a puppet to help kids express themselves
-Puppets help dementia and Alzheimer folks come more alive

But I’m a beginner, can I sew one?
-Yes! We are constantly being told by beginners how much fun and sense of accomplishment they had making a puppet. The best part is when they played with the kids.
-As long as you have the basic skills of hand sewing and simple machine sewing you can do it!
-The sewing skills you learn can be used to sew other projects.
-We suggest starting with a more simple looking pattern. Our Horse Hand Puppet Sewing Pattern is a good choice.
-We have bonus video tutorials for every one of our puppet and costume sewing patterns. The video shows me making the puppet or costume from laying out of pattern to sewing on facial features and finishing touches.
