Kappa (Japanese Turtle Monster) Plush .pdf Sewing Pattern

**THIS IS FOR A SEWING PATTERN, IT IS NOT FOR A FINISHED PLUSH**
Instruction Language: ENGLISH

⌠ kappa plush .pdf pattern ⌡

This listing is for a .pdf instant download of a plush sewing pattern, made to look like a cute kappa -- that is a Japanese turtle-like water demon known for loving cucumbers. It features a scalloped 'water plate' on the head, plush cucumber to hold, turtle shell back, and plush beak.

It is sewing pattern with complete instructions to create the plush from start to finish -- including step-by-step photos and a printable pattern. It includes extra info on choosing fabrics, tools to get started, printing your pattern, and cutting your fabric. This project is not recommended for absolute beginners, but I do my best to explain everything in detail for those rogue newbies that want a challenge :)

The face is done with machine applique, but embroidery files are also available. They are sold separately here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/727444463/simple-faces-machine-embroidery-file
