You Will Need
-
Step 1Looking at an example of pusheen, draw out a basic sketch of the character
-
Step 2Now trace just the body of the cat on a different peice of paper.
-
Step 3Cut it out-this will be your pattern
(you can see where I cut his tail off-whoops!:)
-
Step 4On a large sheet of gray felt, trace around your pattern with a marker
-
Step 5flip the pattern over and trace it again
-
Step 6cut out the 2 body peices
-
Step 7As you cut, be sure to leave plenty of seam allowance, I went with a little over a quarter inch
-
Step 8tada! here are the 2 sides of Pusheen's body
-
Step 9Now pin them, good sides together, so the marker lines are on the outside
-
Step 10See the red pins under Pusheen's tail? Don't sew between those pins, that is the area you will use to flip him inside out later on
-
Step 11starting at the underside of Pusheen's tail, sew all the way around along the marker lines
-
Step 12stop at the red pin on the back of Pusheen's rightmost foot
-
Step 13This is the area you left unsewn. now stuff all of Pusheen through this hole so he is inside out
-
Step 14Lookin' fancy already!
-
Step 15Next, stuff pusheen so make him extra cuddly
-
Step 16sew up the hole nice and tight
I used a blind stitch-

Step 17Congrats, that was the hardest part! now you just have to stitch on all of the details that give Pusheen his attitude. Start by cutting gray felt stripes for his tail and sewing them on securely
-
Step 18now, for his hat. go back and look at your sketch so you know about what size to make it.
Cut the 2 sides of the hat from black felt, making if slightly bigger that necessary to account for seam allowance -
Step 19pin the 2 sides of the hat together. This time, don't sew across the bottom brim of the hat, you'll need that open later
-
Step 20Sew all sides of the hat except for the bottom/brim
-
Step 21flip the hat inside out
-
Step 22stuff the hat with just enough stuffing to give it shape. After you sew it closed the same way you sewed up Pusheen, sew a stip of colored felt(I used deep violet) above the brim of the hat
-
Step 23Sew the hat between Pusheen's ears, make sure you stitch it plenty!
-
Step 24Cut out three semi-circles from gray felt and stitch them just below Pusheen's tophat
-
Step 25Now for his adorable face-
Cut out pusheens felt eye, monocle and 'stache. use pins to hold them in place while you sew -
Step 26Cut out three small rectangles for whiskers, mine were about 1 1/2 inches by 3/4 inch
-
Step 27roll the rectangles and stitch them so they don't unfurl. Now you can attatch them to Pusheen's face
-
Step 28Don't forget about the gray felt stripes on his back
Fancy Pusheen is complete!
