Description
I made a plushie Selador!

The other day I had some free lessons so I came home and decided, while grabbing lunch, that I would wreck some more of my journal. (my 'Wreck This Journal', of course). I was doing the section which instructs you to 'sew this page' when I was suddenly inspired to make a plushie of some kind! It's the third one I've ever made, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!! =phlum referred to it as 'Plushador', and it just sort of stuck.

I had a big pile of felt left over from some long-forgotten project or other in my cupboard, and as luck would have it I not only found the right colours for a little squishy Selador, but the right amounts too! It was simply meant to be...

I'm a complete plushie novice, but this was really fun to make!
Please tell me what you think.

Materials:
Coloured felt
Coloured thread
Polyester toy filling

Time:
Aboout... 5 hours?

Wow - amazing! Did you make a paper pattern first or just eyeball the pieces? (Sorry if you already covered that in other comments - I'm lazy. )

Why thankya!
For the eyes and leaf I just drew them out freehand... but for the main body I used a pattern. It needs to be quite precise to make a nice sphere, so I didn't want to risk it!

You're welcome!

And ah, very helpful to know - I have a couple of felt plushies I'm supposed to make for Easter and I'm feeling a little clueless about where to start, but as they won't need any definite shapes, perhaps I'll be okay if I just make it up as I go (or at least make my own patterns, heh) . . . maybe . . .

Oh?
What sort of things were you going to make?
I've found felt to be quite forgiving, really.. I made lots of weird little things when I was younger, and none of them failed too miserably.
Just jump in and give it a go!

Little cats based on some characters from old kid's stories - given the original illustrations, I think I've got a decent chance of making some that look like what they're supposed to look like! Anyhoo, got the felt today, so we'll see how it goes - if they turn out, I'll post a pic!

Yes'm, I will!

Oooh, sounds interesting!
I tried to make my own pattern today, for a turtle. It wasn't actually too bad, but after making a prototype I'm going to go back and make a few adjustments.
Good luck!!

I'm not going to lie, I have no idea what a plushie is - but this is very lovely nonetheless. It seems as if there is no area of art in which you do not excel, would you consider an arts career? This is really sweet, and the leaf on top must have been quite difficult because it's an awkward shape. Plus, it's adorable! It also makes me happy to hear that you have "Wreck This Journal" because my friend is absolutely obsessed with Keri Smith!

Oh, and I now have great confidence that when we are old friends you will make me some cracking jumpers...there's more pressure on me to read up on ships in bottles now!

You don't? It's just another word for soft-toy.
You know, I'm really not sure! I think I'd struggle in that I'd be far too critical of the things produced to let anyone have them...
I love 'Wreck This Journal'! It's so refreshing! ... Granted, I might have some difficulty with smearing my food on a book. That's just too far.

Absolutely! I hope you get used to being known as 'the guy with the knitwear', because I promise you, that's all you'll be wearing.

Thank yooou. <3

I followed a recipe. Cooked cake + icing mashed together to make a sugary mush. Then use a scoop like a melon baller or small ice cream scoop. Then put in fridge. Dip in chocolate. Fridge again. Cake ball! hahaha. I think my mixture had too much icing or not enough fridge time. And I didn't know about the dipping it thing. I had mush balls.

Mush balls!
Sounds relatively easy... Even I might be able to manage it! And I seriously am thinking if it would be possible to turn those into emote, now... What have you started?!
