Description
Okay, so like the journal I made said, I'm making a large, and complex plushie. Sooooo, I decided to upload this in hopes that someone who's talented in the art of making patterns for plush designs would stumble over this and decides to help me out. :3Oh, and anyone who is able to help me make the patterns will be featured in my Christmas special, which could be of the same quality as the Halloween special I just uploaded.
the bottom two don't have a design on them 'cause i'm lazy, I might add it tomorrow. -_-
Eh, idk.so help would be nice. :3
art, character, and design (c) me, so please don't steal

Well, I got someone who's helping me a bunch, she already sent me the patterns(but my computer is stupid and prints them all out of proportion) and put up a tutorial for the frame. :3 but if you know the best stuff to fill a large plushie with to make it really soft and plooshy, and the best kind of stuff to weight the limbs and tail down with then that would be epic. :3

oh ok O:
uhm, I'm not sure, but beads work pretty well to weigh stuff down XD
At least I tend to put them in things like the plushies bottoms and feet, and it works pretty good
like you make a small pouch out of scrap material and put the beads in there c:
Rice works well too, but then you can take it overseas and such XD

Hmmmm...I do have a ton of beads. xD (I collected them as a little kid for no reason whatsoever)
Wait...so then you can or can't take it overseas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
with beads you can, but if you use rice you can't cuz of customs XD

I feel awkward because I don't know you lol

8D If you can help then that'd be great! Absolutely marvelous! x3 Any help I can get is good considering I have no experience in making plushies whatsoever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
um I'll draw up a pattern and post it for you, it'll just be a little bit
and i guess i could do some kind of instruction/tutorial along with it if you want
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'd be awesome! Though I should go ahead and say that I'm going to try to make the bottom of the limbs(shoulder/thigh down) to be as free as possible and weighted down, and the antenna and tail are going to have wires supporting them. Just letting you know, 'cause a lot of tutorials I found haven't been of help 'cause they don't have that feature for them(at least for the limbs)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I like to make my plushies as poseable as possible so I will include wires and things

its going to take just a little while because I do everything by hand
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The pattern? Or do you mean you sew everything by hand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i sew by hand yeah
for a decent tutorial i'm going to have to show the steps
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, okay. :3 I can't wait to see it. ^-^

Here's the pattern. It should be scanned to scale so you could just print it and cut it out but if you resize, resize everything the same amount.

arm [link]
body [link]
leg [link]
tail [link]

OMGZ THANK YOU SO MUCH! ^-^ I will probably have to change the size of a few things to fit, but this is awesome! ^-^ Just one question...how do some of these fit together? x3 I'm mainly confused with the legs, but the rest I'm pretty good on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i will cut out some fabric pieces and show how to attach them in the tutorial
np (:

8D yeay! :3 When should it be ready?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not really sure, i have a lot going on right now
i will try to do something with it, at least the wire frame
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. Okay, The main things I need to know is about the wire stuff, how many of each piece I need, and how the limbs attack to the body, the rest I can do by myself.
Though quick question, will I sew on the markings and stuff on each individual piece BEFORE sewing any of them together, or after I sew a section(just before It gets too complicated)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its best to sew everything together but keep it flat, then attach the markings, then you can sew it all together
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay. :3
Oh, and when I printed out the patterns they turned out at different scales. :c I'm not sure sure how to fix this 'cause I'm not sure how big everything needs to be to fit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
um i will check it out and send measurements
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
okay
for the body, measuring from the v-notch of the neck to the bottom of the hind marking is 6 3/4 inches
for the tail, measuring from the top of the base to the mid-curve of the other side is 11 inches
for the leg, measuring from the middle of the top straight down is 6 3/4 inches
for the arm, measuring from the top of the middle straight down is 5 inches
and for the head, measuring part A from where it says 'f' straight to the opposite side just past the eye is 3 1/4 inches
if you keep all of the other parts within the same scan then they should scale down properly when you resize it
