Plush patterns designed for makers of every skill level!
After a career designing award-winning toys and plush, I now share my favorite designs through simple, visual sewing patterns so makers of all abilities can experience the joy of creating.
Welcome to my shop! I’m a plush designer who began my career working with toy industry leaders such as Playskool and Hasbro. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of developing innovative toys and plush designs, earning seven patents and multiple Mother's Choice Award honors. Some of my engineering work is even preserved in the collection of The Strong National Museum of Play, a place dedicated to celebrating the history and creativity of play.
This shop is a collection of plush patterns inspired by my journey in the toy industry. Each design reflects the same thoughtful engineering used in professional toy development—translated into patterns that are fun, approachable, and easy to make at home.
My instructions are pictorially based with minimal reading, created especially for makers who prefer visual guidance or who may struggle with traditional written instructions, including those with Dyslexia. I believe creativity should be accessible to everyone.
The patterns are also designed to be upcycling-friendly, encouraging you to reuse fabrics and give new life to materials you already love.
I’m always looking for ways to improve these patterns and make them even more user-friendly. Your comments, ideas, and feedback are truly welcome—I would love to hear from you and see what you create.
Thank you for being part of this creative journey. I hope these patterns bring you the same joy in making that I’ve experienced throughout my career in toy design. I would truly love to see what you create.After a career designing award-winning toys and plush for Playskool and Hasbro, I now share my favorite plush designs as simple, visual sewing patterns so makers of all abilities can experience the joy of creating.”
