What is the Reindeer Plush sewing pattern?

The Reindeer Plush is an intermediate stuffed toy in three sizes: Small at 7 inches, Medium at 9½ inches and Large at 12 inches. It takes about 3 hours in 12 written steps. The body uses ⅜ yard of 58 inch wide fabric for Small, and ½ yard for Medium and Large.

The steps run from printing and cutting through the face, ears, tail, antlers and hooves. You then add a head gusset, sew the body, add the underbody and soles, turn and stuff, and close the gap. Plush sewing rewards patience with curves, so read how to sew a plushie before you start. All plush patterns, including this one, are on the plushie sewing patterns page.

Material	Small	Medium	Large
Body fabric, 58 in wide	⅜ yd	½ yd	½ yd
Light fabric, 44 in wide	⅛ yd	¼ yd	¼ yd
Dark fabric, 44 in wide	⅛ yd	⅛ yd	⅛ yd

What is the Porch Goose Reindeer Outfit?

The Porch Goose Reindeer Outfit is a brown dress with a cream band at the skirt hem and a lined cap with two soft antlers. It is intermediate, takes about 4 hours and has 14 written steps. It has no collar, so the neck is bound with tape and ties.

The antlers are made in their own step and go on the cap last, which keeps the cap easy to sew. You practice gathering a skirt, setting in puffy sleeves and binding a neckline with ties. If you have not sewn a goose outfit before, measure your goose first with how to measure a porch goose.

What is the Porch Goose Angel Outfit?

The Porch Goose Angel Outfit is a white dress with puffy sleeves, ivory felt wings on a strap at the back, a lined cap and a soft halo ring. It is intermediate and has 15 written steps. At about 5 hours it is one of the longest goose outfits.

The wings are felt, so they hold their shape without extra stiffening and do not fray. The halo ring sits on top of the cap. If time is short, sew the reindeer first and the angel second, because the reindeer is an hour shorter.

How much fabric do the goose outfits need?

The reindeer outfit needs ½ to 1 yard of brown fabric and the angel needs ½ to 1⅛ yards of white fabric. Amounts come from each pattern's own guide, rounded up, so buy what the table says. Brown and white fabric are 44 inches wide, and the felt is 36 inches wide.

Material	Small (17 in goose)	Standard (23 in goose)	Large (27 in goose)
Reindeer: brown fabric	½ yd	⅝ yd	1 yd
Reindeer: cream cotton for the band	⅛ yd	¼ yd	¼ yd
Angel: white fabric	½ yd	¾ yd	1⅛ yd
Angel: ivory felt for the wings	¼ yd	¼ yd	¼ yd

What are the quick extras?

The quick extras are the Santa and Elf Hats, a beginner pattern that takes about 1 hour. It comes in four sizes with head sizes from 18 to 24 inches, so a family can match. The pattern has 12 written steps and covers a red hat with a white brim, and a green hat with a cuff and pom-pom.

Material	Toddler	Kid	Adult	Adult L
Red hat	½ yd	½ yd	⅝ yd	⅝ yd
White brim and pom-pom	¼ yd	⅜ yd	⅜ yd	⅜ yd
Green hat	½ yd	⅝ yd	⅝ yd	⅝ yd
Cuff and pom-pom	⅜ yd	⅜ yd	⅜ yd	⅜ yd

The hats are a good gift project too, and they appear in our list of handmade Christmas gifts to sew.

Which one should I sew first?

Sew the Santa and Elf Hats first if you want a quick win, the Reindeer Plush if you want a gift, and the goose outfits if you want a porch display. Here is a simple way to choose.

You are short on time: the hats, about 1 hour.
You want a handmade gift: the Reindeer Plush, about 3 hours, in three sizes.
You have a porch goose and a weekend: the Reindeer Outfit, about 4 hours.
You want a standout goose and have two sessions: the Angel Outfit, about 5 hours.
You want a pair: sew both goose outfits and swap them partway through December.

When should I start sewing?

Start by early November. Christmas is on Friday, December 25, 2026, and a goose on the porch looks best for the whole month. This plan finishes both goose outfits by Saturday, December 5. The session times are estimates built from the pattern times above.

Saturday, November 7: print, tape and cut the reindeer outfit.
Saturday, November 14: sew the reindeer outfit (about 4 hours).
Saturday, November 21: print and cut the angel outfit.
Saturday, November 28: sew the angel outfit (about 5 hours, so start in the morning).
Saturday, December 5: finish the wings, halo and cap, and dress the goose.

Sew the plush and hats in the weeks after. A plush at 3 hours fits into one afternoon, and the hats fit into an evening.
