I've wanted to make my own cosplay for years but sewing is just a natural talent I do not have. I don't have the steady hands for it, I shake too much so I usually end up accidentally stabbing myself while sewing.
Are you trying hand sewing or machine sewing?

You should try! You could make a cute Shaymin :D

Even if you don't turn out to be a natural plushie-making genius, sewing is a really useful skill. I got to impress a boy I liked by offering to sew up a hole in his favourite t-shirt. XD

Saw your edit... ouch! xD I am paranoid of needles so I'm always crazy careful. They still get me sometimes though :/
I don't think the tape should harm them if you want to try that. I put tape on my stuffed animals as a kid (not for pattern copying, just for random/weird reasons XD) and they were just fine afterward.

And yeah, getting stabbed with needles is kinda inevitable with plushing. xD I'm careful so it doesn't happen often, but every once in a while...
