Thank you!
It turned out to be about 20inches (51cm) long.
I don't know what a seam finish is... I'm not too sure about the terminology, but here's what stitches I think I used: a half back stitch for making the plush for the most part; slip stitch to close up openings after stuffing it and to attach the head to the body; running stitch to attach the blue rings and eyes. Sorry. I'm kind of new with sewing terminologies..
It wasn't too difficult. It was my first time making a plush by hand so that brought on a lot of challenges. But I personally thought it wasn't too hard to make. I think you just have to be patient, thorough, and persevere (because it took me a total of over 10 hours to make it.)
It was a lot of fun making it and seeing the plush start to form. I hope, if you do decide to make it, it'll turn out great.

I really want to make it my cncern is mainly attatching the appendades and the rigns an eyes. I can sew the single frangments themselves but I always have issues with atttching body parts cause I can never hide the stitches, just like closing the stuffing holes. I think i am going to start working on it tomorrow. and hope for the best, but I dont think mine will turn out as well as yours cause yours looks fantastic!Do you have any tips for closing the holes and atttaching the limbs?

Thanks for the compliment! X)
Well I'm pretty new to making plushies, so I'm not sure if I'm in the position to give you legitimate advice. :/
But I'd recommend that when sewing the pieces together, as well as when closing the holes, to trace the shape of the plush so that you will know exactly where you are supposed to be sewing rather than assuming the general area. (so trace the pattern unto the fabric and then cut it while leaving a 0.5inch border) And then make sure you are always sewing on that traced line when sewing the pieces together.
um, with attaching limbs, what I did was pin the limbs before sewing them and saw how it looked. if I didn't like the position of the limbs, I would unpin it and re-position it until I liked the way it looked. When I was finally content with it, I then took the pin out, held the piece in place and began to sew.
I'd also recommend to sew in small amounts. Don't get impatient and sew it in 1 inch apart. That'll just make the plush end up looking lumpy and lose its shape.
the eyes. I made the eye itself and then attached it to the head. I think you can probably find videos showing how to sew on designs if you look it up on youtube.
I believe I used the stitching called the slip stitch for closing the plush. I think if you search "how to stitch a seam closed", it'll give you explanations on how to do that even better than I ever could.
I think you can probably also get even better explanations and advice from the person who created the pattern: shazy [link]
I wish you the best of luck if you decide to make it. And it's okay if you do mess up. You can learn from it and improve to create an even better plush later on!

okay thanks this is actually the first real plush i am making. When did you attach the eyes and rings before andd after you stuffed it. cause that confused me when it was written. and what stitch did you use.
π: 0 β©: 1
I made the eyes before hand (put on the black and the white onto the yellow). and then put it (and the ring) on the plush after stuffing it.
Um I don't know if there is a specific name for the stitch I used, but I used a running stitch and then went over it again to make it look like a continuous line. so when going over it, if I had previously when down-up on the stitch, i would go up-down. Kind of hard to explain.

so you put the rings on after you stuffed it? it seems tht would make it more difficult to sew them on.
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean that's what I did and that's what the direction said on the pattern. I guess you could put the rings on before you stuff it, but then the rings might not be in the right place and such. Putting them on afterwards may be a bit harder, but you can make sure that the rings will end up at the right place where you wanted them to be at.
