Plush handmade critters are quite the hot item. They’re cute, easy and fun to make and everyone seems to love them! Etsy, a place where you can buy handmade items, has a category with sub-categories for handmade plush dolls.

Stephanie and I recently attended a handmade fair, several of the booths featured cute plush stuffed animals. These aren’t your ordinary  stuffed animals, they’re unique in every way possible — shape, size, material, embellishments, etc.

Indygo Junction, one of our favorite pattern makers, recently came out with a Zipper Critters pattern. These step-by-step instructions can help get you started on this hot and easy sewing trend.

What kind of critter have you made?
