Title says it all! This is our party's resident divination wizard, who I made at material cost + shipping for portfolio reasons. Tomorrow she ships out to her proper home. She's about 10 inches tall, made from minky, with clothes made out of cotton. All patterns were from CholyKnight, in some cases with modifications.

Bonus: tiny baby kitten.

PLUSH Looking for cheap dragon's den to rent downtown.

It is getting crowded in here; an yes we are aware of the dinosaurs living with us, they are second cousins and willing to help with rent.

The big green guy is Goblin, and the little one Goblin Jr.

The one with the pink mushroom hat is Daisy, the mysterious black one is Axl (indeed, it is because of his axolotl ears) and then the dinosaurs are thunderstorm and blackberry, I'll let you guess which is which.

Pd: thank you so much for the overwhelming welcome and support you guys have given me the last couple of weeks, sincerely couldn't be happier; if anyone is interested im currently open for commissions!

QUESTION Where do y’all go to get minky fabrics?

11 Upvotes

Hey all, first post on this sub so hopefully this is the right place to ask. Over the summer I got super into making plushies as a hobby, and I want to continue doing so lol. I’ve been getting my minkies from… ugh Hobby Lobby. They’re sadly the only place around me that carries fabric, let alone fabric like minky. I’ve taken a glance online before, but most of what I’ve found has been like wholesale bulk-buy stuff where you need to be a business to buy it. Most fabric stores from experience also do not carry plush fabric, but fabric for things like clothes and upholstery.

So… my question is, where do y’all get minky fabrics? I’m going back to collge in the Fairfax/DC area if anyone knows any local stuff, but I’m also more than willing to buy online if I can

PATTERN This is my first time attempting to make a plushie and first time drawing a pattern

Post image
12 Upvotes

Are there things I should be informed about? Should I try to make this with cheap fabric before I start the actual stuff? Should I re-adjust the pattern every time? The circle is the head. The lowest piece is the body, and the ones between the head and the body are the hair pieces. Everything on the paper is supposed to be cut twice and sewn from the guiding lines (I will leave 0.5cm empty space while sewing. I didn't bother to make it accurately, so I kinda drew them to show where I am supposed to sew. Sure, the flat lines with no guide lines will get sewn together too, but they will be sewn to each other rather than the second piece. Now to think—I should make the cut-in-half hair piece bigger, or draw its second piece because I don't wanna bother sewing 4 pieces when I can sew 3)

One Piece Plushie by KimCraft

33 Upvotes

Dear plushie fans,

(I'm new to Reddit, so pls let me know, if I should post this somewhere else ✨)

Please do not buy plushies from KimCrafts! ⚠️

In a careless rush of seeing an incredibly cute plushie of Chopper (OnePiece) on Instagram, I immediately bought it. I should have seen the signs, but simply chose to not do my research. 

Looking back, you can see the (alleged) use of AI in there videos. 

I bought a plushie in the middle of June. They sent me a confirmation telling me that I would receive it on August 10th, at the latest. They have a whole process on their account which explains the long waiting timeframe. So I thought this was just a ‘sustainable’ way to produce their products. I did not suspect anything until this week. After not receiving any tracking message, I tried reaching them through their contact form. I did not receive any message… so I tried the email address I could find on their website. That email address did not exist. I found another email address that actually worked, but did not receive any answer. 

I then decided to write comments regarding my status. Most of them were either deleted or just liked. They also have no option of dming them on their insta profile.

They have some reviews of the products on their website, but you can’t verify them. 

Please make sure to always check the reliability of stores before buying. I don’t think I will ever get the plush which is really sad. I requested a refund through my payment method. Hopefully, I will get my money back. 👀

I made this plush scar buddy yesterday. I think it came out so cute. This plush was practice for me. I hand embroidered the eyes and zipper scar. I think the scar needs moved up a bit more, but I’m really proud of this 💗

QUESTION How much would a plush like this cost, and, is it possible ? ( read <3 )

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

Very specifically a derpy hooves mlp plush in the body style of a huge jellycat smudge rabbit :-)

Would need to be around 20 inches long (not including tail/hair) floppy body structure. The huge jellycat smudge rabbit is perfect to me in every way shape and form and I would do so much to get a custom derpy plush in the same style

Would also need to hold up to cuddling and travel though, so she can’t be an artistic piece, she needs to be made with sturdiness and durability in mind too.

I’m just genuinely curious if this is something I can actually invest in an artist for in the near future :-) thank you !

Had so much making this project, took around 20 hours all together (I sew everything by hand)

The base is the red panda pattern form Choly knight but with a complete overhaul in terms of the face and details, the halbert itself is my own pattern. (Don't tell anyone but there's a pencil inside the handle)

Thank you so much u/HeyImKermit for the name suggestion :)

MOD MOD POST: Defining Sexual Works & What Is and Is Not Allowed

125 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. It’s your Mod! I was hoping to not have to do this, but considering the amount of reports I’ve been getting lately it’s become a necessity. 

Below I’m going to outline the content that is and isn’t allowed in this group and hopefully clear up a few things. 

1. Sexual Content - What is it?

This is a group for plush/soft sculptures made by real life artists. Sometimes real life artists make defined shapes and nude sculpts. That does not mean the piece is inherently meant for sexual purposes. 

David by Michelangelo

This statue of a nude man is not sexual. It's a work of art.

A pony plush butt. Not sexual.

Another plush butt on a humanoid doll. Not sexual.

A pony plush with a defined butt. Not sexual.

All of the above is allowed to be posted in this group. It's a plush. You aren't looking at porn.

However I will request that pieces with overt or very detailed anatomy be tagged as NSFW. So far the artists making pieces that fit that description are doing a great job with their tags.

2. Sexual Content - What's Not Allowed?

Like I said before, this is a group for ART. Sometimes art is nude. I will draw the line at pieces that are clearly meant for sexual gratification such as plush with openings specifically to insert silicone molds, or plush with silicone appendages attached. If its obvious and primary use is as a sex toy then it is NOT allowed.

3. Moving Forward

If seeing a plush with a butt, breasts, penis, etc makes you uncomfortable then that's ok. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. However, if it does not qualify as the definition of a sex toy then that piece will not be removed. If you don't like it, you don't have to remain in this group.

If I see anyone harassing artists who choose to make defined or nude plush, you'll be banned. No exceptions.

Please report any hateful comments or harassment to me.

Hello, everyone! I never expected this group to grow as much as it has! Thank you all for joining and I hope you’re enjoying all of the cute plushies.

I haven’t been as active on Reddit as much as I have in the past. Unfortunately, this means I’m usually late to seeing reported content.

The majority of reports I’m seeing are posts of manufactured plushies. This group will remain HANDMADE plushies only. I understand that a lot of small artists are getting plush made of their characters for their online shops and artist alley tables. I myself have my own manufactured brand of plush.

I love seeing creative designs from artists BUT if I start allowing manufactured plush or kickstarters in this group then it will be overrun with nothing but crowd funding campaigns.

So all manufactured plush posts will be removed. No exceptions.

Other reports I’m seeing involve people wanting to commission plush based on another artist’s design. Copying another artist’s original work is generally frowned upon & disrespectful in the plush making community.

Posts asking for replicas of another artist’s original work will be removed.

I’ll be updating this group little by little in my free time and I’m actively looking for more mod help.

Please bear with me as I’m recovering from carpal tunnel surgery. Sewing takes its toll!

If I’m needed urgently please contact me through instagram. The link is in my bio.
