pattern hack: jumbo hedgehog pillow

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

I hacked my own pattern to create an extra large version of the little happy hedgehog. After making a little doll to sit in her crib, I knew the baby would need just one more toy in there. The hedgehog is my favorite toy pattern that I made over a year ago. I even shared a post about the process of making the pattern just right. It is still one of my favorites to sew up. There’s another post about hedgehogs right here.

I had a bunch of extra polka dot fabric so I used that. It matches the back of the triangle quilt and Lena LOVES to stare at it! 

Original pattern:
The happy hedgehog 

How to hack it:
-Print pieces at 150% and tape together.
-Use fusible interfacing on the back of the fabric, I used fusible fleece interfacing to make it extra soft.
-Follow directions normally.
-Add a little bow if you want! 


The hedgehog pattern is available here, if you’re interested!

I’ll tell you more about the little doll soon! (She deserves her own post, too, right?)

    What is it about polka dots that captures babies’ attention. I made a smock out of a polka dot print and the 3 month old I watch loves staring at it. She even bursts into a great big smile.

    I love it. The polka dots and the bow have me sold. I think this might be the perfect addition to my daughter’s crib. :) And the doll! On my to do list too. I plan on using scraps from her quilt for that…just have to finish the quilt first!
