Description  The finished version of the Bethany the Fornlee Plushie from my tutorial.


This fornlee belongs to Nikko-Usagi.  
This plushie took me almost 3-4 months to complete.  I started this plush in April after getting the reference sheet for the doll and I finished just around now.  She is made entirely out of fleece.  Her arms, ears, and some of her hair are the only things not stuffed.  She can stand on her own thanks to her tail keeping her balanced.  She is completely handsewn.  Her bows are tied to her body, not glued on.  The rhinestones on her body, however, are glued on with e6000 glue.  I sewn her hopefully study enough to be machine washable in cold water.  I don't advice putting her a dryer.  her head, specifically her neck, had a problem hanging around, so I had to make an incision in her back to stuff her body more, and sew the hole back up.  She also has black rubber bands on her cheek fluff.

The way Bethany's hair bow is tied, first I made the bow, then I tied a knot over the bow, then I made the second bow over the knot.  Finally, I simply tied the bow to Bethany's hair.

Thanks.  I was kind of worried about how the eyes look, but I'm glad they look okay.

Okay now for my personal review of the plush:

Pros:
She is stuffed with just the right amount of stuffing so that she is squishable but not overly floppy.
She is very proportionate and the details are amazing despite the cloth color limitations that were known from the start

Cons:
Mostly just small cosmetic blips like some glue residue around the gems and slightly frazzled ribbon ends from being cut

Overall Quality and Rating:
I think there was a lot of time and effort put into this plush and it really shows. Everything seems quite sturdily sewn together and is as accurate as possible to the Lee design provided. It was sent after being washed and came smelling of fresh laundry, even all this time later it still has that fresh smell which I love. All in all I absolutely love this plush so much and would recommend everyone to try out the pattern supplied. You will not be disappointed!

I'm so glad you absolutely love it.

For one, sorry about the glue; it's the first time using rhinestones and I wanted to make sure that they don't come off, especially for washing.  I try to make the doll as sturdy as possibly for the washing machine.

I'm also glad you find her both accurate and stuffed perfectly.  I'm especially glad with the latter part as it told me I made the right choice with how I stuffed her.  I worked my best with the plush, so I'm glad it both turned out great and it will be loved.

The longer I see it, the more I like it! (and usually it is the other way around)!!!!

Soooo...this is still a goodbye from the group....right?  :C

Thanks.

And yeah ..The stress and misery I felt from personal selfish reasons while being in the group made me want to leave the group and even give away my bagbean (if you check the masterlist page, the Rainbow Jumping Spider Bagbean belongs to someone else).  I might return in 2020, when I drop all these selfish desires that causes me to be obsessive, miserable, and even lash out on others or hurt myself.  In the meantime, I'm going to focus on things such as improving my art skills, partially because I never win competitions that involves more than 10 people in the group(which tells me my art isn't good enough, i.e. crap), partially because I seek more confidence in my art, but mostly because I want to draw great things for myself(like commissioning myself to do a $100 drawing without paying myself ).  I hope I don't lose all of the friends I've made there, so I try to keep contact with those I hope to not be a bother to.

Well, that is good, it is not normal to find someone who acknowledge it owns faults. 

Hey, if you ever return to the group, and by any chance I'm still in the group, hit me and I will help as much as I can ^___^

Oh man, I'm sorry.   I really did not mean to push or rush you or anything especially with that you are dealing with.
I'm glad you got your doll fine and I wish you the best.

Your doll should come in about 3 days.  I emailed you the tracking number.
You're welcome.   I'm glad you love it and I'm thankful that you let me use her as a reference for my tutorial so that there could be more fornlee plushies like her.

Thanks.  And yup, it did took a long time.  If I count the time while I'm trying to make a pattern for the fornlee, I've been working on it since February and March, waited until I gotten the reference sheet and fabrics I needed to make the doll on April, prepared all the pieces for the tutorial on May, and sew everything all together along with adding the details on June and July.
