critter the autism cat, dash the disability pride pup, and bug the adhd pup have all been UNLOCKED!! and we are well on our way to the first backer's choice goal! :D
There's still plenty of time left to back and get a free 3" vinyl guest artist sticker of your choice as an early bird perk for the first 48 hours! you don't even have to back for a plushie tier to get that reward, even just the sticker tier will get you that perk!! :D
stickers, pins, charms and such are a great way to support the campaign even if you can't afford a plushie! :D
#check them out!!#others plush#manufactured plush#kickstarters#crowd funding#(technically not kickstarter I guess but for tag finding lol)

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!
Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.
And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition
I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch
The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

Unfortunately I can only show up as booping from main since this is a side blog but I'll boop everyone back still!
I saw that I could boop my side blog and then boop back through the side blog's notifs so I wanted to see what would happen since only the main blog can actually send the boops xD

I've been sitting on this pattern and tutorial for a while now! so time to finally share it with you!
I was lamenting that the jellycat pip and sugar mice were long retired and difficult to get your hands on unless you are willing to pay much more than they retailed for each mouse, so i decided to try and eyeball a pattern and make some myself! they're not exact as i only used constructed visual references but they're close! please note that this pattern set is intended for personal use only. Rough tutorial under the cut!
This pattern is for printing onto A4 but you can check your scale with the measurements I've provided or just play around with how big or small you want to try and make them! i didn't really get any wip photos of pip mouse but it's method is largely the same with the nose being the major change, which i will detail in text in the instructions below.
for sugar mouse i would recommend using polar fleece as it will act the right way for the ears to do their squishy marshmallow looking thing. but minky should also work or other similar fabrics! for pip mouse if you can find a similar curly looking fabric with a thin backing that'll be ideal but fleece will also work well, you just wont get the furry texture, you want a fabric with a little bit of stretch to it. i however would not recommend fabrics like felt or non stretch cotton for these guys as it's likely to not take shape the same as there's no give to the fabric.
once you have printed out the pattern and cut the pieces in your fabric, you'll want to sew the ears up and turn them inside out, then put them aside for later. just leave them as is for now but here you can see i was playing around with pinching the turned through ear into shape.
Then moving on, sew the back pieces together along the spine and front of face. you then want pull the bottom open ends apart gently and place the open sides flat up against the base piece so that they're aligned, it can be good to pin this in place so it doesn't shift.
then, get your tail rope, and tie a knot at either end, placing the base of it inbetween the seam at the butt so that it'll sit in the right place, then sew the seam up directly with the tail in place, make sure you sew through the rope to secure it and make sure it doesnt shift. Sew around the bases seam leaving a hole in one side so that you can then turn your mouse through.
once turned through you will want to stuff your mouse with polyfill quite a bit so it takes shape! i like to put weighted beans in mine for extra effect, you can use dried rice or wheat too, just sew a little circle pouch a bit smaller that the mouses base with scrap fabric and fill and seal! then insert into the turning hole while you stuff. once stuffing is done you can sew the hole up with a ladder stitch. the weight from the beads will allow your mouse to sit up quite well.
next you will want to get those ears you put aside, take each corner and bring the ends together in the middle. then sew them gently together at the ends with one or two stitches in about the same spot. you want them to look 3d so dont sew the ends to the back of the ear, just end to end so they meet in the center.
Then pin the ears in place on the head
then you need to ladder stitch the ears in place while they're pinned so they dont shift around, go all the way around the outside edge of each.
now you're almost done! next they just need a face! sugar mouse only needs embroidery by way of a french knot for both the eyes and nose (you can find good video tutorials on how to sew a french knot online), pip mouse will also need a french knot for the eyes but has a separate process for it's nose.
(for the pip mouses nose you will need to leave the marked nose hole open and then stitch the nose fabric to the square nose backing in line with the dotted direction on the pattern, (it should look kind of baggy when it's unstuffed) sew it up completley with no hole, then cut a tiny slit in the backing and add polyfill there before closing with a basic stitch, then you ladder stitch the nose directly to the marked nose hole)
in order to hide the embroidery anchor knots i find the best way is to start by going down through the middle of the ears and then coming back up where you want the eye to be, and then going back down and up through the ear for the finishing knot, as it creates a very easy cover for them and looks nice and clean!
then you have yourself a little buddy!
haha they're great to squish!
if you use this pattern i'd love to see your results!

Happy Holidays! Enjoy my Poppet for an upcoming Pathfinder2e campaign!
Its name is Taffeta and it is a Thaumaturge. Also, yeah I picked the Stuffed Poppet heritage because I thought it was incredibly funny. Whoever came up with this concept, thank you for my life.

Recently, Chinese fursuit maker Mofu Mofu has opened an independent storefront to make placing fur orders easier for overseas customers. Mofu Mofu is highly popular with Asian fursuit makers for having high quality luxury furs with a large color range covering hues that are hard to find from American fur manufactures, as well as distributing their own stretch fur that has been growing wildly popular with fursuit makers in many places. They have been known to take custom color runs for their stretch fur as well considering the limited catalog of colors offered. Makers have praised Mofu Mofu's furs as being dense and soft with a good shave quality. However, due to logistics, shipments have been known to take upwards of a month to arrive to America.
Mofu Mofu's current color offerings for shag fur and stretch fur:

Honestly extremely relatable as someone constantly ordering in textiles. Myself and every plush artist I know had the worst time for a while when Shannon (The primary minky manufacturer) suddenly decided to secretly switch factories. Not only were the colours completely incompatible with the old one, the entire makeup of the fabric was radically different. They were nowhere near as soft, the weave was looser and inconsistently stretchy (and wouldn't return to shape properly after being stretched) and the fibers looked worse and were less fluffy.
They KNEW the quality was shit and they still sent them to suppliers anyways and let those suppliers ship them all out to us with zero warning. As far as I know, they didn't continue with that factory but its still a crapshoot when I order online whether Im getting a good cut or a temp factory cut. The rose/cabbage/swirl minky was especially abysmal. I still have some pink thats just too poor quality to use for plushies
[Pic I took while halfway through a Smoliv plush, had to recut all the leaves because the difference was just massive]
And that's all not to mention them constantly discontinuing much needed colours like nude, apple green and tomato (just to name a few). For a lot of us, we have staple designs we make often and they sell really well but we're completely at the mercy of these manufacturers. You could have a product making 10% of your annual sales and then Shannon could suddenly axe the primary colour you were using for it :")
Ngl i prefer the 2016 version purple on the right.

I feel this but with plush making xD If I haven't made something in a while, I completely forget what colours I used or how certain things work (especially if its something I patterned myself)
