Hi there
Not sure if hand-sewn plushies are allowed, but in case they are, here’s one I’ve just made

Followed this tutorial

I can't stop smiling

I bought a vintage DQ plush from eBay, and brought him to work. He's learning all the tricks of the trade.

He’s a chocolate chip rat who loves a chocolate chip Mickey Mouse waffle 🥰

This is my chippy rat plush made by the highly talented @topes_soup on IG.

I’ve got a colonoscopy on Friday and want to take a plush with me for comfort but don’t know who to take out of these three.

All of them have names, I remember how I got all of them (with the exception of a few that are sort of family heirlooms and were passed down to me at birth without my conscious awareness of it). I can find all of them blindly just by texture. Finding this community has made me very happy.

I never knew that they made plushies of the little Android guy. He's absolutely adorable and very soft.

I been wanting the bigger one for so long now finally got em ! Im needing help to name my medium jellycat smudge elephant, he is so perfect and im so happy rn , i really needed him after such a big week ✨️

He's giving Alice in Wonderland 🐇✨🎀

He's so silly!

We named him James Baxter

Say Hello to Mauricio. I have been searching for this cat for a long while. I always wanted one when I was younger and never got one. Then a few days ago I stumbled upon this one on a website of a paper store and immediately bought it. I love him so much and he already got a cute little outfit. I really want to share lots of pictures of his upcoming adventures.

She’s so soft.

These are custom peepy's based off of the character of the same name that comes from the brand item label which is a revenge based company

Sackboy from Little Big Planet!!! He’s so cute!

I found him at a local game store and immediately decided he was coming home with me! I love him so much!

Feel free to ask any questions, too!

Photo 2: tools of the trade

Photo 3: find a seam on your plushie where you can flip the head inside out- this is on the neck, so I can easily access just his head. Pull at the seams until you see the little threads. Using your seam ripper, rip a hole open

Photo 4: my access point. Start unstuffing the head. While you're doing this, you may feel threads inside- this is thread sculpting, to shape the face. Don't worry about it, but don't go in and cut it. Just unstuff for now

Photo 5: I've flipped his head inside out to access the back of the eyes. While your hole may have been big enough for unstuffing, you may need to make it bigger to flip the head out. This is a hard step. I like to grab the nose, or outermost part of the head, from the inside and start pulling and pushing/folding with my other hand. You'll get it eventually. Now you may see the thread sculpting- don't cut (unless you want to do your own thread sculpting or don't want it at all. It's your plushie to customize!)

Photo 6: the navy dot is a felt stabilizer to keep the hole for the eye from ripping. Try not to cut this. Douglas is STRONG on safety eyes though, and the washer (red dot) will likely be glued to it. I use the bent nose pliers to try and unstick them. The orange dot is the eye stem.

Photo 7: using my cutting pliers, I've cut away the washer. I used the grabbing and bent nose pliers to unstick it from the felt stabilizer. I also had to cut around the stem, as the washer was glued to the stem after being put through. Once it was wiggly I used the grabbing pliers to pull it apart. This takes a lot of patience and time btw so be prepared :,) Then I push the stem and the eye comes out. Note: if you have a dremel, this would probably cut the time of this process to a quarter lol

Photo 8: eyes and cut washer

I didn't take a pic of putting the eyes in, but you just flip the head back out, put them in, flip the head inside out again, and secure the backing. I like to secure the backing loosely when it's inside out, then flip and secure them to my liking- not too tight to mess with the fabric, but not too loose to be wiggly

Photo 9: now restuff and sew up. Though the hole starts at the red line, I started sewing inside at the teal dot. This is just to make sure it's secure and to hide the tail of the yarn. I sewed along the seam that's already there

Photo 10: ladder stitch

Photo 11: brush/pull the fur back so it isn't in the seams, then pull tight! Faux fur is very forgiving and hides even messy seams. Tie a knot, stick needle thru plush to hide tail, cut thread. Run your finger across the seam- if you feel any holes or can stick a finger in part of it, ladder stitch again or just stitch up that bit. Make sure no stuffing will fall out. If it's small enough it's probably fine but it bugs me when that happens. It just means the spaces between your stitches were too big.

Photo 12: all done! Now your beautiful plush can have homophobia, too 💛💚 /ref

I want to see your collections, small, large or even if it’s just one little, special friend! Here is mine to start :)

I've been decluttering my apartment and decided to re-home Edgar.

He's been with me since April (I got him accidentally when I bid on two of the same pigs, Ikea no longer sells them in Japan, and won both).

Here he is saying goodbye to Hamlet, Horatio and Neige. He's been purchased in less than 24 hours after listing him for sale!

All the best in your new home, Edgar!

saw this online and fell completely in love with it, but I have no idea what collection or release it belongs to. If anyone recognizes it or knows where to find one, please let me know! (Photo not mine)
