Step 1: Step 1 (Fabric)

You need to get some fabric, preferably something soft
the easyest way to get this is to cut apart old t-shirts
the amount of fabric you need will be detirmined by the size of your plushie
also you will need some stuffing

With a bit of tweaking this should do the trick:

I think I've been playing too much cave story because I recognized that from the thumbnail. It's pretty awesome looking.

It's kind of a block-robot thing, it trys to kill the main character several times

oh because the black part looks like a nose and the bottom seam looks like a mouth.

This is where I think you went wrong. I would have used a fabric that doesn't stretch just to make it easier to sew. I like to go to thrift stores and buy old hawaiian shirts and whatnot to reuse the fabric. I still think your project is cute, though, and the imperfections work for it.

This is sooooo cool! Using your clear instructions, look at the creation of my friend George and I. It is a super mega awesome fishy that sings the Peppridge Farm's goldfish song.

Jordan is completely right; the stitching done on the right side of the fabric creates a product with inferior apeal. This and the 1/8th seam technique should be explained...Also, on a project this simple you may not want to assume that those attempting it will know what a blind stitch is. cute design though, keep working to refine your tecniques, and remeber: if a stitch is going to apear messy, USE A THREAD COLOR THAT BLENDS WITH THE FABRIC! a contrasting thread color is less disreable for something you wish to apear life-like, but if it is used then it is best to take extreme caution with your stitches.

Thats like more of a hakey sack then a plushie (-_-)'
GiveMeMyCawwot (author) in reply to i_cant_SpelOct 26, 2006. 7:21 PM
this one is not very heavy (2-3 grams). but if you filled it with beans/rice...
GiveMeMyCawwot (author) says: Oct 26, 2006. 2:11 PM
to make a sephere youd use the same way they make baseballs look at one sometime and youll see two peanut-shaped peaces of fabric sewn togeather...

i like to make cubes and things, it's fun. if anyone can tell me how to make a sphere, tell me plz
JordanZed says: Oct 21, 2006. 12:12 AM
you should sew it inside out then flip it right side out, that way you won't see the stitches. Cute though. I remember doing this with scrap fabric whenever my mother would make curtains and other things when I was just a wee child. lol
