Sew Simple Puppets

Patterns and instructions for a puppet and a dozen different outfits.

Sew Simple Puppets: People Puppets

Puppet materials

For each puppet, you need:

• 1/2 yard non-ravelling flesh-colored fabric

(fleece, velour, flannel, felt, or knits)

• 1/2 yard non-ravelling lining (can be the same

fabric or a different one)

• 1/2 yard craft batting (optional: use only if the

fabrics are thin)

• one felt square (or 1/4 yard of fairly stiff,

non-ravelling fabric) for hair

• scrap of dark non-ravelling fabric for eyes

• scrap of pink non-ravelling fabric for cheeks

• scrap of non-ravelling fabric for the mouth

• 1/2 yard sew-on hook and loop tape

• 1/8 yard of fabric for legs (either leftover flesh-

colored fabric, non-ravelling fabric for tights, or

fabric that matches the clothing for pants)

For these outfits, you also need:

• Ballet tutu: 1 yard nylon net

• Baseball shirt/cap: scrap of contrasting fabric

for cap brim and buttons, small scrap of white

felt for baseball, red thread

• Basketball jersey: small scrap of orange fabric,

black thread

• Chef outfit: 1/4 yard white fabric, scraps of

black and red or orange felt

• Dress: scrap of contrasting fabric for “buttons,”

scrap of white fabric for collar, 1/2 yard of

ribbon, appliqué (optional)

• Firefighter uniform: 1/8 yard contrasting fabric

• Jumper or sundress: 1/2 yard eyelet

• Long dress/nightgown: scrap of contrasting felt

for “buttons,” 1/2 yard lace, 1/2 yard of ribbon

• Police uniform: 1/8 yard (or one felt square)

non-ravelling contrasting fabric, 1/8 yard (or one

felt square) black fabric

• Santa suit and hat: 1/2 yard red fabric, 1/8 yard

white non-ravelling fabric (such as fake fur or

felt), scraps of black and yellow fabric for belt,

scraps of green and red felt or non-ravelling

fabric for holly

• Skirt and blouse: 1/4 yard fabric for skirt,

1/4 yard fabric for blouse, scrap of contrasting

material. (You can make the skirt and blouse

from the same fabric, or from contrasting

fabrics.)

• Wizard: use star-printed fabric, or make stars

from 1/8 yard non-ravelling yellow fabric or one

yellow felt square (star patterns included)

Clothing materials

For each outfit, you need 1/2 yard of fabric and

matching thread, as well as scraps of felt or fabric

for the shoes. The fabric you choose can make a big

difference in how the clothes look. A dress made

from the jumper pattern could look like a cute little

sundress if made from calico or gingham, or it could

be a denim jumper, or it could look like an evening

gown if made from fancy fabric.

Sew Simple Puppets

People puppets

You can create a variety of people, from little girls to

grandmas, just by using different hair patterns on the

same basic body and head, and by making them

different clothes.

To make these puppets, you’ll work with the fabric

right side out. This makes the sewing easier and less

bulky. It also means that as soon as you cut and lay

out the pieces, you can see exactly what your puppet

will look like. Since the stitches do show, you may

want to use a simple decorative or zig-zag stitch.

lining. Pin the layers together and set them aside.

Pin the other pieces together the same way.

Head

Cut two head pieces from the fabric, lining, and

batting (optional). Cut two eyes from dark fabric and

two cheeks from pink fabric. Position the eyes and

cheeks on the right side of one of the fabric heads,

then stitch around the edge of each eye and cheek.

For the mouth, cut a strip of red or dark pink fabric

that’s 1/8” wide by 1 and 1/2” long. Loop the strip

into a small u-shape, and place it on the face. Stitch

around the edges of the mouth. (Note: You can use a

moustache instead of a mouth if you wish. Cut one

moustache from hair fabric, place it on the face, and

stitch around the edges of the moustache.)

Body

Fold the fabric right sides together. Place the body

pattern on the fabric, lining up the straight edge of

the pattern with the fold of the fabric. Pin the pattern

in place and cut around it. Remove the pattern and

unfold the fabric. Cut a second body piece the same

way. Cut two body pieces from lining and two from

batting (optional). Place one piece of body fabric

and one piece of lining wrong sides together. If you

are using batting, slide it in between the fabric and

Head assembly

Place each head and lining piece wrong sides

together. If you are using batting, slide it in between

the fabric and lining. Pin the layers together.

Lower body back

Stitch across the lower edge of the body back.

Lay the head face side up.

Position one of the body

pieces, fabric side up, on

top of the neck area, so

that the top edge of the

body overlaps the lower

edge of the head. Pin them

together, then stitch across

the area where the body

overlaps the head. Stitch

the back of the body and

head together the same way.

Assembly

Place the front and back

of the puppet together,

with the lining sides

facing each other. Pin the

puppet together, then

stitch around the head and

body, leaving the lower

edge of the body open.

Trim off any excess fabric

or batting.

Leg velcro

If you want to change your puppet’s pants, you’ll

actually need to change its legs. That’s why the

puppets legs attach to the body with sew on hook-

and-loop tape, often sold under the brand name

Velcro. (If you want your puppet to use the same

legs all the time, you can leave off the velcro, and

just stitch the legs directly to the body.)

Cut a strip of hook-and-loop tape that’s

approximately 6” long. Note: Each piece has two

sides, the hook and the loop. It’s a good idea to use

the hook (fuzzy) piece on the puppet and the loop

(pokey) piece on the legs. That way, any puppet can

wear any legs.

Place the front of the

puppet face down, and

position the hook (fuzzy)

strip across the lower edge

of the body. Pin the hook

tape in place, then stitch

around the edges.

Hair

At this point, your puppet probably looks like a bald,

newborn baby (which is fine if that’s the look you

want, but not if you’re going for a little girl or a

well-groomed elderly gentleman). To fix this, you

need to add hair. There are several hair styles to

choose from, including three hair fronts and three

hair backs that you can mix and match as you like.

There’s also a pattern for a hair bun, which has its

own front and back that work only with each other.

No matter which hair style you choose, you attach

them all the same way. Make the hair from felt (or

another stiff, non-ravelling fabric). For the hair

backs (or the bun), fold the fabric in half first and

place the straight edge of the pattern on the fold. Cut

one hair front and one hair back.

Sew Simple Puppets — 2

Place the hair front on the front of the puppet’s head,

and the hair back on the back. Pin them in place.

Attaching: For removable legs, cut two

pieces of hook-and-loop tape, either 2

and 1/2” long (for dress legs) or 3” long

(for pants legs). Place the loop tape on

top of the legs, close to the end of the

short edge. Stitch around the edges of

the velcro. To attach the legs to the

puppet, slip the ends of the legs (loop

tape side up) under the lower edge of the body.

Note: To permanently

attach the legs directly to

the puppet, slip the top

1/2” of the legs under the

lower edge of the body

front and stitch them in

place. (Make sure you

don’t sew the puppet

closed!)

Stitch across the outer edge of the hair, making sure

to catch the head in the seam.

If you want your puppet to have a beard, cut one

beard from felt, or another stiff, non-ravelling fabric.

Place the beard over the lower part of your puppet’s

face, and stitch the beard to the puppet along the top

corners of the beard only.

Shoes

Cutting: To make shoes

that go with pants legs, cut

four shoes using the large

shoe pattern. To make

shoes that go with dress

legs, cut four shoes using the small shoe pattern, or

make Mary Jane shoes as described below.

Mary Janes (optional): Cut two small shoe backs

and two Mary Jane shoes from black fabric. Cut two

Mary Jane socks from white or leg-colored fabric.

Lay the Mary Jane shoes wrong side up, and place

the socks over the opening. Stitch around the sock

using black thread to hold it to the shoe opening.

Attaching: Lay one of the shoes

wrong side up, then place one of

the legs on top of it so that the

bottom edge overlaps the top edge

of the shoe by about 1/2”. Lay a

second shoe on top of the bottom edge of the leg,

lining it up with the first shoe.

Pin the shoe to the leg, then stitch

across the top edge of the shoe.

(This attaches it to the leg.) Stitch

around the curved edge of the shoe,

then trim off any excess fabric.

Attach the other shoe pieces to the other leg the

same way.

Legs

Cutting and sewing: Cut four legs

using the pants leg or dress leg patterns.

Place two of the legs wrong sides

together, then stitch around the outside

edge. Sew the other two leg pieces

together the same way.

Shorts (optional): Cut two pants leg

pieces from shorts fabric. Cut each

piece in half widthwise, so that you

have four short pieces. Place one piece

on the front of each leg, and one piece

on the back of each leg, making sure

that all the pieces line up with the top of

the leg. Pin the shorts to the legs, then

stitch around the edge of the shorts area.
