Meet the 11" Peppermint Latte Plush
This peppermint latte plush is designed to be:
Approx. 11" tall – big enough to be a snuggle buddy, small enough to tuck on a shelf

Depending on how you design yours, your plush may include:
A cute felt peppermint stick or candy cane peeking out

FAQs ❓
Q: Is this pattern good for beginners?
A: Yes! I’d call it confident-beginner friendly. If you’ve sewn a simple plush or pillow before and feel comfortable with your machine, you’ll do great. The shapes are simple, and you can keep the face details as minimal as you like. The pattern includes step by step photos to assist you every step of the way.
Q: Can I sell finished peppermint latte plushies made from this pattern?
A: Yes, small handmade seller–friendly! You’re welcome to sell finished items you sew yourself on a small handmade scale. Please credit the pattern to Sew Cute Patterns in your listing or at craft shows.
Q: What fabric works best?
A: Fleece and minky are my top picks because they’re soft, forgiving, and extra cozy. Felt also works well, especially for the peppermint stick, face pieces, and any applique details.
Q: Do I need safety eyes?
A: Nope! You can absolutely embroider or appliqué the face if you prefer. Safety eyes are just a fun option if you like that look (and they’re great for older kids and adult décor pieces).
