Looking for a project that’s quick, beginner-friendly, and irresistibly cute? Meet Banjo & Blue, a pair of cuddly koalas that stitch up beautifully in cotton, minky, fleece, velvet, or even repurposed vintage linens.

These Australian soft toy sewing patterns make wonderful handmade gifts for baby showers, birthdays, Christmas stockings, or friends overseas who’d love a little piece of home. They’re equally perfect for anyone who wants to try soft toy making for the first time — with simple steps, clear instructions, and no special equipment needed.

Make them extra personal by using fabric with meaning: a vintage tea towel, embroidered doilies, or fabric scraps you’ve been saving. With two sizes included, Banjo & Blue are versatile, huggable, and endlessly customizable.

Finished Size:

• Banjo: approx. 12 ½ inches (32 cm) tall

• Blue: approx. 6 ½ inches (16 cm) tall

Skill Level: Beginner – a perfect first soft toy sewing pattern.

What’s Inside:

• Full-size templates for both koalas (no scaling needed)

• Step-by-step illustrated instructions with diagrams
