Celestial Plushies – part four

Sewist — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Having made two bears and two penguins from ‘tried and tested’ patterns, I thought I’d dive in with a pattern I’d downloaded but never actually made before. Choly Knight’s Owl Plush pattern is a relatively simple shape, but the main feature is the applique face pieces. I used some black felt I had lying in […]

I’ve never made plushie frogs before, but when I had the opportunity to make something from Velboa, it seemed a natural choice! I’ve sewn with various styles of faux fur before, but Velboa is totally new to me. It does have a nap (so the fur can be brushed in one direction), but this particular […]

Rainbow Dragon

Since Lockdown 1.0, I haven’t done much sewing – the majority of things I made were face masks for friends and family. I wanted to sew something as a Christmas present for K, but what do you make a young boy who loves dragons? A dragon backpack of course! I’ve made plush toys before, but […]

Dotty Dinosaur

Sewist — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 09:00:29 +0000

Having made a dolphin, I could hardly pass the opportunity to make a dinosaur! The body shaping was a lot easier, although I will admit his face is slightly off-centre. I used black faux suede for the eyes and mouth but looking closely at the stitching, I should practise my applique skills for unusual shaped […]

Dotty Dolphin

Sewist — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 09:00:01 +0000

I’ve seen a lot of dolphin plush toys online, and I was pleased to find a free pattern from Choly Knight. The pattern uses minky or similar fleece and I thought it would be ideal to use some of the dotty fat quarters I purchased from Hobbycraft. Although the eyes look embroidered, they are actually […]

Release the Kraken!

Sewist — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 09:00:41 +0000

After making Bertram Bigfoot, I decided he needed a friend, which also gave me a third entry in Choly Knight‘s Halloween Plush Contest! The body of the Kraken isn’t too challenging to sew, even with the applique spots and eyes. I used a glow-in-the-dark fabric for the eyes like I did for the Loch Ness Monster, although […]

The Monster from the Deep

Sewist — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:00:33 +0000

I thought I needed a slightly easier pattern to try, after Bertram Bigfoot, and Choly Knight‘s Loch Ness Monster looked like it would be ideal. The body and head have two sides and a bottom gusset, while the four flippers are sewn into the gusset seam. This means the only hand sewing is to just ladder […]

Bertram Bigfoot

Sewist — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 09:00:38 +0000

I can’t resist entering competitions, so when I spotted that Choly Knight had a Halloween Plush Contest, I had the perfect idea…. a fake fur Yeti! Unfortunately, the fabric shop didn’t have any white fur in stock. However, they did have some amazingly sleek reddy brown fake fur tipped with a silvery white shade – […]
