Celstial Plushies – part five

Sewist — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Ok, so this isn’t actually a plushie, but it was made for a friend’s plush bear so it still counts! I didn’t want to try resizing a standard hoodie pattern, so I used the Apostrophe Patterns MyFit Tee for the bodice. You can enter the measurements of whoever (or whatever plush / doll) you are […]

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 […]

Celestial Plushies – part three

Ok, my last penguin was a little bit of mess in places! But I didn’t want to leave it as a ‘failed’ make, so I decided to make a 150% sized penguin to prove that it is possible for me to make one properly from this fabric! Enlarging the pattern worked perfectly, and my penguin […]

Celestial Plushies – part two

Sewist — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Following on from the two bears, I wanted to make another penguin from a pattern I’d used before. This one wasn’t so successful, and resulted in a lot of frayed tempers and arguments… never argue with a plushie penguin – somehow you will never manage to win! Head on over to Minerva to check out […]

Celestial Plushies – part one

Sewist — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

I wanted to do something different for my latest Minerva Brand Ambassador project, so I decided to see how many things I could make from a metre of fleece. I started with two bears, using the white reverse of the fabric as a contrast for the ears. Check out my latest post at Minerva for […]

Superbly warm and cosy Fox Joggers

Sewist — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I had the opportunity to sew something from this amazingly warm fur-backed fox sweatshirt fabric. Of course my thought immediately went to another hoodie – but then I realised that what my winter wardrobe was really lacking, was a pair of warm joggers for winter walks. This was my first make using the Apostrophe Patterns […]

More bears?!

Sewist — Sat, 31 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I’m sure you’ve realised that I really enjoy sewing bears – especially ones from the Polar Bear pattern that was in Simply Sewing several years ago. I was offered the opportunity to make something using this faux fur, and it just had to be two brown bears! These bears were made at 200% sizing, which […]

Ribbit ribbit

Sewist — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

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 […]
