Free Grug Pattern

Some of you may remember that earlier this year I blogged about this awesome Grug toy that Sue (a fellow ASG member) made for one of her grandchildren. Sue very kindly supplied me with the rough working pattern that she created to make Grug. Since then I have been faffing around trying to write up some instructions and create diagrams so that we can share this pattern with you all.

The pattern can be downloaded from here.

Before you jump in to make a Grug of your very own here are a few disclaimers:

• Grug is a copyrighted character so you cannot sell the complete toy or the pattern.
• The instructions (pages 1 - 4) are on A4 size pages and the pattern pieces (pages 5 - 7) are on A3 size pages.
• The difficulty level of this pattern would be for an intermediate to experienced sewer. I have made some assumptions of knowledge when writing the instructions.
• I have not personally tested this pattern (I hate using furry fabrics) so if someone would like to volunteer to pattern test it would be greatly appreciated.
• If you encounter any errors please let me know and I will update the pattern.
• Grug is just over 30cm tall when completed.

A Herd of Zebras

We were sent this photo the other day from Sue (she also made this Grug toy). She purchased a meter of zebra fabric from our Japanese fabric haul and made this awesome herd of zebras from it. Each zebra is approx 20cm tall.

Have you made something from one of our fabrics? We'd love to add it to our blog so please send us a photo or a link.

On a side note, Sue has kindly given us a copy of the Grug pattern that she drafted and I will do my best to post it up here as soon as possible.

Grug Softie

One of the ladies at my ASG sewing group made this awesome Grug softie for one of her grandchildren. She made him up from scratch without a pattern.

I read Grug books when I was growing up and would have loved a toy like this for Christmas.
