Sew Your Own Shark Pattern

tldr: sewing pattern links are at the bottom of this text! A friend of mine was on Mastodon, musing that they wished they had a Blåhaj that was made in trans colors, a while ago. I am, of course, painfully easy to intrigue into crafts projects, so that evening I started looking around for a sewing pattern, and then for a Sacrificial Shark, to begin to make this muse a reality. a pink, blue, and white stuffed shark [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/shark2.jpg] ---------------------------------------- A kind friend gifted me a shark (smaller size), which I immediately began to dissect in service of understanding how they went together. an unstuffed and partially unstitched shark stuffie [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/agony.jpg] the inside out shark, each part labelled with a sharpie [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/labelling.jpg] This quickly moved on to referencing and drawing a new sewing pattern, sewing a test stuffie... picking on my cat with the test stuffie... and finally, the Full On Making of a "tri-color" shark. a pink, blue, and white stuffed shark [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/shark.jpg] But, that's not all! I've got a whole queue of friends who deserve, or have requested (or both!), a shark! So, before I get going on my new shark assembly-line, I thought I'd get my pattern and instructions together, so that others can join me in making people happy with stuffed sea life! Here Are The Pattern Instructions [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/Shark_Instructions.pdf] Tri-Colored Shark Sewing Pattern [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/shark-tri.pdf] Bi-Colored Shark Sewing Pattern [http://nothe.purplellamas.net/cohost/shark/shark-bi.pdf] Please enjoy, but note that this was made in my spare time, for non-commercial personal use. I am making no money, here, just sharing the love! If you make a shark, tell me about it! Here, or on mastodon at @[email protected] [[email protected]] ! Or just shout your joy to the skies, I'm not the boss of you. PS: for my proof-readers, I'd like to note that I am FINally finished! ;) 🦈🏳️‍🌈🤍💙💗
