A few years back I made and sold these cute plush fox pillows through Red Velvet. Since it's a retired product now, we decided to teach you how to make them! These foxes are a fun one-evening sewing project that you can do with even the most basic sewing skills! Enjoy!
1: Supplies Needed- Simple solid, print, and white cotton fabric, scissors, card stock, plush stuffing, sewing machine/needle and thread and child safe snap on button eyes and noses. (You can find them in the doll section at your local craft store.) 2. Cut out the back and front of the fox. We made ours an estimate 1×2 ft. 3. Cut out and trace a circle from card stock on the back of your patterned fabric. This will be for the fox's belly! 4. Next, sew on a triangle shape for the snout with the white fabric. For the eyes and nose, make a tiny hole with scissors, poke the eyes and nose through and secure it with the back snap. 5. After you've sewn on the snout, sew on the belly! You'll always want to sew on the snout first, guaranteeing that the belly won't be too high or too low. 6. Once you've decorated the front, place both sides together with the outsides facing in and sew them together, leaving a small gap at the bottom. After you've sewn your fox together, flip him inside out and fill with stuffing! Last, hand stitch the opening. All done!
Try adding different details and embellishments to give your foxes cute personalities! Have fun. XOXO. elsie

Haha, too cute! If I make one in greyish brown it will look like my dog! 🙂

Oh, I love the striped one!
I’m in love, especially since I love foxes! I need to try this! <3
Oh my goodness!! Sew adorable, tehehe. I will have to build a fox army :]
SO cute! :] I want to make some of these for my baby’s nursery!!!
So cute! I love the collection:) They remind me of the fox I bought at a craft fair for the baby’s room right when I found out I was pregnant:) Now we can make more. I love the idea of different embellishments. I think that a variety of vintage fabrics–like a wool skirt in the right red or orange–would also be adorable.
Aw, these foxes look so cute! I wish I had some filling here, I would make one right away.
Looove this one!!
So so cute! I think I’d make these tiny, so you could wear it as a brooch 🙂
So very cute!!
These are so cute and funny. I want a chair full of fox pillows, too!
Good and pretty idea. I love them and I want one:)

Okay, this is really one of my favourites this far, and I’ve been reading your blog for about a year now! Wonderful stuff! Really cute, I should make one for my one year old cousin! 🙂
Ahh! I love it! I think ill make a little family to go with my little family!
This is such a cute pattern that could be slightly altered to fit so many different designs. i can see it now: raccoons, owls, or even a parrot. endless opportunities.

I’ve always lived these things. They’re so cute. I’m glad that you’re finally sharing your secret to make them.
I made one of these little ones today 🙂 xx
I don’t have much time for crafting, but I think I’ll have to make time for this! I love love love this tutorial, and I want one (or two or three!)
My best friend is having a baby and I have had no clue what to get her but between this and that bleached shirt DIY, I think I’m set!
This inspired my pregnant by 32week butt to get out of the house and go fabric shopping. The theme for our gender neutral nursery is “Green, Orange and Fox”. So far it’s been hard to find orange or Fox elements. I added a frisky tail to the back of mine and intend to make a whole family.
Thanks!
What a cutie that fox is!! I love the photo of the chair overflowing with them – so sweet!
Love,

These are so cute, I might need to make one 🙂
I totally want to make these as bookends and put them in my sons room. We have a fox the kind of lives in our yard and my son loves seeing him.
Wow, those are adorable! Kinda wanna try making a kitty out of that pattern also, just add some whispers! 🙂 What a great idea. This with a little mason jar of home-made jam and some bread would be a cute house warming gift to give as well, I think.
These are so adorable. My daughter would just love one. I’m going to attempt it asap! I love how you can vary it so easily. Thanks!

Those foxes were just the cutest:)
These cushions are so cute. I remember them from when you shared them originally and love them just as much now as back then. They look especially lovely as a family group 🙂 I’d want to sit right in the middle of them!! Thank you for sharing this cute and fun pillow diy – it has given me an idea for a birthday gift coming up soon 🙂

Thanks for sharing
I tried this out last night. She’s missing eyes and a bottom hem, plus I don’t know how to sew, but I had a lot of fun. I think I will make a litter of these, too. http://instagr.am/p/ItepciKQBt/
Thanks for this great idea. 🙂
I had a go at making my own fox using your tutorial. Obviously, yours are much better though 🙂

I’m really proud of how it turned out! but i kinda feel like you guys made it too easy–almost foolproof! thanks 🙂
…you don’t know how much money you have saved me in future christmas gifts! <3
I made these TODAY!!!! Well I made one, it is such a cute idea. I made it out of red velvet, and used lace as the white between the eyes and checkered for the tummy. I haven’t added eyes yet, but it’s looking great!
I have a bunch of empty vases, what should I do with them so they don’t just waste space? I can’t afford fresh flowers eery week!
Cheers!
Teanne
They are so cute. I have to make one of them !
