When I first started sewing, I could never find good books on pattern design. The best lessons I had in sewing plush was through studying company manufactured stuffed toys. I buy a plush toy with a design I like or am interested in learning (or two so I can have an extra) and take a seam ripper and take it apart, study how it's built, how the pieces fit together, darts making curves. Take the pieces, practice sewing a plush from them in different fabric. From within you can also learn the tricks that are used to make certain parts the way they are, it's really helpful.

I think most people hesitate to do it this way because they have empathy and don't want to hurt toys. But it's a great way to learn.

Have you looked on etsy for plush patterns? Some sellers have really cute designs bear_original what kind of style toys were you interested in making?
