Free Pattern Friday! Otter Plush

Hey everybody!
Iā€™m fulfilling another highly requested animal today with this sweet huggable otter šŸ˜€ I found this one to be tricky to design, since I knew I wanted it lying on its back so it could hold a shell for all to see. But its tail often got in the way of that pose. It took a lot of attempts but I think I like the result!

They donā€™t have a lot of pieces, so they come together rather quickly. The head and shell are sewn on by hand, so thatā€™s a little tricky, but altogether Iā€™d call it a solid 3/10 in difficulty.
You can sew all the features with fusible web applique or using the embroidery files Iā€™ve included below. The files only need a 4ā€ x 4ā€ hoop! Included is the face as well as the little shell, which has cute little accent lines and is sewn in-the-hoop style to save some time <3

  13. Hello The kids I sit I am teaching how to sew. And they love you narwhal , bat , fox , and otter. We have done the bat, But we can not get the embroidery designs for the eyes to down load for some reason. They show up on my computer but will not download to my sewing card. The bat did šŸ™‚ . Thank you for any help . we love your designs

    1. Thanks so much for the kind words about the patterns! So sorry the otter files are giving you trouble :/ I’m not sure what could be the problem, but I could try exporting the files again. Do you know what your machine make and model is? Or what file type you need?
