Earlier than I delve into my BIG stitching plans for Fall, I’ve acquired to catch you up on some smaller gadgets I sewed over the summer time, together with two extra plushies. No, I nonetheless don’t know any youngsters… 🙃
Wolf:
First up is an lovable little wolf I made utilizing this free pattern by CholyKnight. I simply discovered it after some googling, and tbh this web site has SO many free patterns obtainable that I would return to some others later (eyeing up the Ghibli ones…).
This sample used embroidery to make the paw pads, eyes, and nostril/mouth however I opted as a substitute to make use of security toy eyes & nostril. I used to be going to only omit the paw pads altogether (like I did the mouth) however then I realised I might use my Silhouette machine! So I reduce out the paw pads in some leftover pink flock I had mendacity round from my black underwear set, and I like the way it seems.
I purchased a lot of the provides for this from Cello Express since they’ve a ton of toy and plushie making provides, together with the grey and white toy fur. I additionally purchased the blue glitter eyes, pink nose and squeaker from them!
Sure, I put a squeaker in him!! (Sure, I’m simply amused)
The development went actually rapidly on the machine, however there’s fairly a little bit of attaching of physique components by hand – not simply the pinnacle, but additionally the tail and again ft!
I believe it’s such an uncommon pose for an opulent toy to be splooting on its abdomen although and since I acquired the eyes barely off centre he’s acquired a form of “derp” look that makes him even cuter, and that’s even earlier than he squeaks!!
One other bat!
I additionally sewed one final bat plushie – by request from a buddy who was over from Oz! I used the identical sample as before (BeeZeeArts) at 150% scale, utilizing the identical black sweatshirting scraps in reverse so the fleece is on the surface.
She requested orange eyes and the little bat print cotton fabric I used on my jeans pocket lining, so who am I to disclaim her! I can sew these in my sleep by this level, so I didn’t even want to take a look at the directions, which is sweet.
I believe he turned out actually cute, and he had no issues flying dwelling to Australia along with her! (No sore wings in any respect…)
