You may recall I did a Toy Society Drop (#1179) earlier this year called No llores, Lorretta!This was the toy in question:
I've finally gotten around to making a pattern for it, which I am releasing under an attribution, share-alike creative commons license, which means you are allowed to modify and redistribute the pattern, as long as you do so under the same license and give credit.
UPDATE: After realising that toys made from the original pattern posted here look quite different to the ones in the photos above, I made a second pattern which matched the first toy better. I'm calling it the "retro" version. I also added a lightning bolt to the original pattern.
The files below have been updated, and the old version is still available too. Original pattern v2.0:
Retro pattern:
If you want to edit the pattern directly in Inkscape or an equivalent program, here are the original design files:

Lorretta comes in shy of 15cm (~6") but the pattern can be easily scaled to any size. The construction is very basic, hence the lack of tutorial. I used running stitch in matching colours to sew the face to the cloud and running stitch in black (for contrast) to sew the two main pieces together. I started with the arms and used a chopstick to stuff in small amounts of polyfill as I went.
Mary Corbet has a fantastic video library of stitches including running stitch and blanket stitch.
I hope you enjoy the pattern, it's fun to do a little hand sewing from time to time!
