Thanks for sending me the link, I love seeing how others turn out. Your freehand version was adorable! And I agree with your post, I love making things on a whim.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ll try to make a colourful whale for my godchild 🙂
You’re very welcome. Hope you enjoy!

You’re so welcome. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I too saw the original pictures and then hunted for a pattern. I love him and i’ll be making for friends too x
Thanks for commenting, I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for your tutorial, it was most helpful. We decided to use an orange cotton for the stitching to be more like denim. We simply LOVE our whale and hope the new baby will too.

I’m so glad you found it helpful. I made mine a few months before our baby was born and had no idea it would become her very favorite stuffed animal. Thanks for the cute picture! I love how you did the eyes, I’m going to try that on my next whale!
Thanks you so much for sharing this! My 14 yr old daughter is obsessed with Whales and has been wanting a stuffed whale forever. To say was her birthday and I was able to make her the cutest whale thanks to you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Just finished my first whale… First one is always a learning experience. I had a hard time turning the fins after sewing right sides together, so I left some space along one long side and turned there, handsewing it after turning instead of turning at the part that fits in the seam. I think it was difficult because the denim was pretty thick. If I used lighter weight jeans, it would probably work better. I also decided to make the pleats on his tummy show for a little texture. One whale takes a pair of jeans, but there’s plenty of scrap left for other projects!
Those fins are tricky to turn! I found that using a chopstick to help reverse the fabric by poking it through made the process a little easier. After making quite a few more since posting this tutorial I’ve found that womens jeans are much, much easier to use since the weight of denim is generally pretty thin. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial.
I am having some trouble-maybe because I’m new to sewing and entirely self-taught. Where does Top Part Two go? I assume it attaches to Top Part One, but I can’t figure out how/where. Maybe if I had more visual on what Top Part Two turns into that would help? Thank you in advance for any help.
Wait! Think I got it all figured out.
Thank you, though!
I’ve always wanted a whale like that, but I’ve never found that. This is the perfect solution because I love doing this kind of things. Actually, my whale is in process, the only thing I’ve changed is that I’m using old socks, it gives to my whale a special texture 🙂 Thanks for the tutorial!!! 😀
You’re so welcome! I’d love to see this guy done with socks. Link a picture when you’re finished!

Thanks Erica! I LOVE the patterned fabric you used for the belly! I’ll have to try that on my next whale.
Thanks for a great pattern. Someone requested a rainbow whale to be made and the results were outstanding. Client is so in love with the final product 🙂
