**THIS IS FOR A SEWING PATTERN, IT IS NOT FOR A FINISHED PLUSH**
Instruction Language: ENGLISH
⌠ chibi merpeople doll plush .pdf pattern ⌡
This listing is for a .pdf instant download of a plush sewing pattern. It features a chibi merperson with a detailed fish tail. The pattern contains templates to make dolls with 3 kinds of ears and 4 kinds of hair. It also contains templates to make either a fish tail, human legs and removable tail, or octopus legs. Accessories include a seashell bra, eyepatch, and selkie coat.
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 confident 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/682645600/mermaid-doll-eyes-machine-embroidery
