Calcifer Plush FREE Sewing Pattern and Tutorial

Fans of Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle should recognize this fiesty fire demon. He has a simple flame-shaped body with a wide base so he can sit up on his own. Lots of applique on the front and back bring his face to life. This pattern comes in two sizes, both a regular handheld size and mini size. This mini size was originally intended for machine embroiderers with 4″ x 4″ hoops, but you can use it for a machine sewn version if you crave some variety.
