Fox Pillow Templates | Helen Rhiannon Sewing Pattern

Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps

Here's where you can find the free downloadable templates for Helen Rhiannon's Fox Pillow, as featured in the Half Yard™ magazine!

This easy, beginner-friendly, fox-shaped pillow to sew allows you to have fun layering the fabrics, creating the face, body and tail. There is no need to make a pillow inner as the fox is stuffed with toy filler, and the gap is then sewn up. This makes for a lovely, cozy and autumnal DIY project for the home.

The templates are free to download, just hit the “Template” button above.

Finished size: 13 x 9¾in (33 x 24.5cm) not including ears

This project can be found in Helen's book Sew Perfect Pets (2018).
