Your Personal Mini Instructable Robot Cuddly

I have been making teddy bears for a while. I decided to try a instructable robot now. He is a bit too thin, I have to admitt. Next try I would make the belly wider. But for the first try I think he is quite cute :o)

He has some steel granulate inside the hands, foot and butt, so he is able to sit on the monitor.

To make your own little robot you will need:

  • Eye needle from doll making
  • Plier
  • Pfriem (I really do not know the englisch word for that)
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Tool to press eyelets
  • Pattern (see image)

Material

  • Yellow fabric
  • gray fabric
  • some red and black felt
  • yarn in matching color (gray and yellow)
  • embroidery thread inblack and red
  • Cardboard and metal washer as well as matching splint
  • Cotton stuffing material
  • Steel or rubber granulate
  • Eyelets, buttons and other decorating stuff
  • Maybe test eyes, if you want to try different eye positions

To make the robot you just mainly need to follow the images.

Transfer all parts tp fabric. The number of pieces you need is marked on the piece. All parts are WITHOUT seam allowance. Pleas add seam allowance around all pieces. Use a light marker. I used a black one to get more contrast on the photos. Do not do so!

The Basic Head

Close the tuck of the sides of the body. Attach the bottom sewing the legs right in place. Sew together both sides afterwards. By doing so you leave enough room while sewing the legs between bottom and body. Leave a opening. Attach the head.Turn body and put the fine tights with the steel inside the butt. Stuff lightly and close body.
