A little update and where i get my supplies~

Hey everyone!~ So sorry i havent been posting, was so busy! >< Anyways, firstly, i would like to thank all of you for the views for my blog! it really made my day! Xie Xie!(Thank you in chinese) I have been sewing since i was in Primary 4(9-10 years of age im currently in secondary school(13-14 years old). and when i show my creations to my friends, majority do not know what a plush is, what material im using etc. So here, I will be showing you all where i get my supplies! :D ---WHERE I GET MY SUPPLIES--- 1) Felt- this is the material i use to make my plushies, but you can use other fabric like fleece if you like. Felt comes in many colours and they are easy to work with. I get mine from a bookstore that has closed down, but now, i get them from Diaso for $2 per peice, they are 60 x 70 cm long, quite a deal ;) 2) Sewing needle and thread- I dont really but these because i have what i need at home. But you can find thread and sewing needles at bookstores or sewing stores. Sometimes, i take out 1 strand of thread from a 6-stranded embroidery floss for the colours i do not have in a spool. 3) Button/safety eyes- I used button eyes for the two mamegoma plushies i posted(i made 2 more anw :3).Daiso sells them in different sizes, but again, sewing stores should sell them. I do not use safety eyes(they are quite similar to button eyes) but you can find them on ebay. 4) Stuffing- I use fibre stuffing for toys and cushions(they are softer), i used to use normal cotton that i got from pharmacies but they werent soft enough so ya... the fibre stuffing i use is called 'Hobby Fill' from a store called spotlight. Im not sure about other countries, but UK has a store called 'Hobby Craft' which may sell them Sorry this post is sooo wordy.. Hope you gained something from here~

Mamegoma plush^^

These are two mamegoma plush!! They're san-x characters, super cute and super squishy! *squish squish* Love mamegoma!!! I got the mamegoma pattern of deviant art/youtube. U can try searching for mamegoma tutorials on youtube :) i added a purple bow to the blue mamegoma and spots on the cream coloured one. For the eyes, i used button eyes for toys(i got them from daiso) the eyes actually had potruted backs, but i cut a hole on the felt and glued it on. Then for the snout, i used black acrylic paint and a toothpick to draw on the mouth>< it works really well! ^O^

how to sew a candy corn + template

This is what I'll be showing you how to make, it's a candy corn plush:) Step 1: This is what u will be needing. Felt in colours white, orange and yellow, thread in colours black, white and yellow or mustard, scissors, sewing needle, pen or marker to mark the design, and something to make it into a keychain. Step 2: Use the template below to make this plush. Cut the template out and trace it twice onto the respective felt colours(white,orange,yellow). Then, cut the pieces out. Step 3: After cutting them out, make sure that the pieces are the same. you can trim the pieces however you like. Arrange the pieces how you would like them to be. Step 3: Next, sew the pieces together using the respective thread colours and a fell stitch. Step 4: This step is optional. U can sew whatever you are using to make it into a keychain onto the back piece of the candy corn. Be sure that it's tight enough. u can also sew on a cute face on one of the pieces. Step 5: Using black thread, sew using a blanket stitch around the candy corn. Remember to leave a gap to stuff it! Continue sewing the candy corn up and this is how it should look like! Personally, i dont really like this plush but oh well... I didnt take long to make this candy corn^^ All the best!^(oo)^

how to make a chicken plush with template~

This is the chicken plush! this is the template for the chicken plush. u can print this out and use it to trace onto your felt/fabric. The eyes, beak and blush are not included as I think that it's pretty simple^^ Step 1: This is what u will be needing: felt in colours pink, white, red and orange, a sewing needle, thread in colours white, pink, black and yellow. (U may want to use glue for the beak instead of using the yellow thread), scissors, stuffing, the template and ribbon if you want it as a keychain. Step 2: Trace the template onto your fabric and cut them out. U will also need two eyes, one triangular beak and two blushes. This is what you will have: Step 3: Arrange the pieces onto the circle how you would like it to look like. Optionally, you can add a cross on the back as its butt hole. Step 4: Next, sew on the face pieces, starting with the blushes first.Use the respective thread colours for the pieces. Step 5: Then, using a blanket stitch and white thread, take the two body pieces and sew them together all the way(starting from where the head is)till before the hand. When you reach the hand, use a fell stitch to sew on the hand. If you want it to be a keychain, attach the ribbon or what you use to the back body piece before sewing them together. Step 6: For the next hand and legs, use the same method. use a blanket stitch to sew all the way before the piece then use a fell stitch to sew it on. Step 7: When you reach this step, stop sewing and stuff your chicken! U can use cotton for this but i use those for pillows and stuffed toys, so it's really soft! >< Step 8: After you stuff, all that's left is to sew it up and your'e finished with your chicken! Here's how mine looks like^^ Good Luck and i hope you try this out! It's not really difficult! Happy sewing! :D
