[500x438]I wanted to write here the way to make Sarubobo plush.
It's easy and simple.
But I found some variations, so I tried some patterns.
The first one is very simple, traditional one. I need only one circle and one rectangle.
With this recipe, you can make this Sarubobo. This is the recipe 1.
[500x333]If you put the head on the back, you can make this(It's flying!). This is the recipe 2.
[500x448]And you can put hats on them. This is the recipe 3(The white one).
[500x401]The last one has different body. I made it with not rectangle, but square pattern. In the traditional recipe, they make the body with square. But it has a big hole in the middle, so they put a cloth to hide it.
So I made a little different pattern to close the hole. This is the recipe 4(The pink one).
The recipe 1
This is the basic recipe. Prepare the pattens of 5 cm diameter circle and 5 x 6 cm rectangle. The circle one is for the head, and the rectangle is for the body. I put 5 mm allowance for each.
[500x333]At first, make the head. Sew the edge of the circle roughly.
[500x406]Then, put stuffing and pull the thread. Sew some places and make the ball.
[500x466]To the next, make the body. Every corners is their hand or leg. And there should be left the space (1 cm) to turn it out.
[500x375]Take one corner and fold it like the picture and sew from the middle of the shorter side to the end of the corner. I sewed it from some millimeters closer to the corner from the middle to make bigger space.
[500x452]After you sew the four limbs, it comes like the picture.
[500x462]Then turn it out from the space of the center.
[500x484]And put the stuffing little by little from the corner. I put it with my hair pin.
[500x455]Then close the space.
[500x465]You made the body and the head.
[500x500]Then, sew the head on the body. That's all.
[500x484]I made the clothing for it. I only put the strip on it.
[500x488]The recipe 2
Make the body and the head like the recipe 1, and put the head on the back of the body.
[500x477]It's like flying!
[500x448]The recipe 3
For this and for the recipe 4, I make the pattern little bigger than the recipe 1 and 2. The circle is 6.5 cm diameter, and the rectangle is 6 cm x 7 cm.
At first, make the head like the recipe 1.
[500x457]Then, make the hat. Prepare the piece of a rectangular triangle of 7.5 cm side.
[500x375]Then fold each end to meet at the middle of the back. Put the right side inside.
[500x449]Sew the point.
[500x455]Then Fold the top to meet to the sewed point and sew the line.
[500x479]It comes like this.
[500x500]Then turn it out.
[500x420]Put the hat on the head folding the edge a little and sew it.
[500x488]And put the head on the body.
The recipe 4
[500x461]This has the different pattern of body from others. The pattern is 6 cm square with the 2 cm square on the middle of the top.
[500x440]Sew each leg like the recipe 1 leaving the 2 cm square.
[500x438]And then sew the two sides of the 2 cm square to close the space, only one side left.
[500x472]Turn it out, fill with the stuffing and close the space.
[500x488]Put the head on the body. You did it!
If you make the body with a square, you leave the space in the center.
[500x428]In such case, you can make the cloth for it and hide the space. This is the traditional recipe.
[500x471]I'm sorry to write so long and the explanation is too complicated.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment.
Enjoy Sarubobo!
