Crinkle Cat Toy Sewing Pattern

In this post I will show you how to make simple cat toys out of fabric! These are fish-shaped and so fun! Use bright, colorful cotton to make a toy for your cat.

This free cat toy sewing pattern includes instructions for including a crinkly material for a sound element. Recycle a chip bag from your pantry for this sensory toy!

Fish Cat Toy Materials

  • 2 Fat Quarters, cotton fabric
  • Lightweight fusible interfacing
  • Chip bag or crinkle material (optional)
  • Cat Toy Pattern Printable, see below

DIY Cat Toy Pattern Download

Download the free Cat Toy Sewing Pattern below by signing up for the See Kate Sew newsletter. Print it off at 100% or DO NOT SCALE and test the 1″ box to make sure you have printed it correctly.

Cat Toy Tutorial

Use a 3/8″ seam allowance.

Cut two fish shapes from your fabrics, one from each print. Back both with lightweight fusible interfacing.

Cut out two small fish shapes from your chip bag or crinkle material. Set crinkle material aside.

Sew front and back of fish toy together with right sides together using a 3/8″ seam allowance. Leave a 2-3″ opening at the straight edge of the fish’s tail for turning.

Trim and clip seam allowance and turn fish right side out. Press out corners with a point turner.

Press fish. Insert crinkle material into fish and tack near tail by stitching and backstitching the exterior.

Close opening and press. Topstitch 1/8″ from the edges of the tail to finish the fish toy!

Share your fish toy in the See Kate Sew Facebook Community!
