15 Horse Sewing Patterns guaranteed to make a horse lover smile

Published on: May 25, 2022May 1, 2026 Last updated: May 1, 2026

Many little girls love horses, and my daughter is no exception. I don’t know where this interest in horses comes from. We don’t live anywhere near any horse farms. Perhaps it’s My Little Pony and other books and TV shows!

But horses really are graceful and powerful creatures, and it’s hard not to be captivated by their beauty. 

I can’t afford to buy my daughter a horse, but I can sew one! So I’ve rounded up the best horse sewing patterns:

The best horse sewing patterns, including felt horses, stuffed horse plushies, horse doll sewing patterns (and a few special bonus patterns for the horse lover!)
