National Geographic’s 5-week-long SharkFest kicked off Sunday! Woo Hoo!

And in honor of this annual event, I’m re-posting my Shark Softie Tutorial. Just in case you need to make a shark and forgot that i have a free and easy tutorial!

Here’s the PDF for the tutorial: Softie Shark Tutorial and this is the PDF for the pattern: Shark Pattern

So check it out, and let me know if you make one of these adorable softies. I would love to post your pics right here on a future post! It’s a easy pattern and so adaptable. If you want to make a smaller shark, just print the PDF out at 75% or 60% or whatever size you might want! (Not too small cause then it just gets fiddly and not fun!) Just make sure you adapt the pattern to keep the 1/4″ seam allowances.
