Portal Turret Plushie
By: kurt
Deadly, yet adorable, this plush turret from the game Portal talks and responds when you play with it. It senses when you pick it up, knock it over, or walk in front of it. The stuffing and soft fleece skin make it super cuddly, too!
Inspired by Up, not North.

Steps
132. Print and cut pattern
Print and cut the pattern pieces out for the body. When you print these pieces, make sure to set "Page Scaling" to "None" in the "Print" dialogue box.
133. Cut out fleece pieces
Use a marker to trace the pattern into white fleece, and cut out the pieces. Each panel needs to be cut out twice: once for the left side and once for the right side.
134. Sew right back to right front
Place the right back piece on top of the right front piece so that the top edges are aligned. Stitch this edge together. Repeat for the left side.
135. Sew right center to right front
Open the pieces at the stitch, and align the bottom of the right center piece with the right front piece as shown. Begin to stitch at the aligned edge.
136. Continue sewing right center to right front
Rotate the right center piece to align its long edge to the inside edge of the right front piece. Stitch together this side.
