Join the Plushie Parade: Sew Your Way Into the Cutest Trend of the Year 🧵🧸

Have you noticed? Plushies aren’t just for kids anymore — they’re the trending accessory for 2025. From kawaii-style keychains to bold desk mascots, the plushie trend has taken over everything from fashion TikTok to handmade markets. And the best part? You don’t have to chase rare Labubu dolls or spend hours hunting drops — you can sew your own joy (and maybe a few extra for your friends, too!).

🧵 Plushie Patterns We’re Loving Right Now

Whether you’re a confident beginner or a seasoned sewist, these indie designers are bringing all the cozy creature vibes:

• Woolly Petals – From patchwork bears to sleepy foxes, these softies are perfect for showing off your fabric stash. Her animal blocks and stuffies strike the perfect balance between cuddly and modern.
• Jodie Carleton of RicRacSews – The queen of quirky! Her chickens, seagulls, and sardines are full of personality. These are must-sew patterns if you love storytelling through your stitches.

🧷 Tips to Ride the Plushie Wave Without the Stress

• Host a Plushie Swap! Sew a softie, trade with a friend — it’s way more fun than refreshing restocks.
• Plushie-of-the-Month Challenge – Pick a different animal pattern each month and challenge your sewing circle to stitch it up in their own style.
• Use Your TBH Scraps! Those precious hand-dyed bits from our kits? PERFECT for plushie wings, beaks, and bellies.
• Add Charms & Cork Tags – Take it to the next level with a Charmed by TBH™ accent or a mini woven label. Make your plushie an icon.
