Description FULL VIEW!

Everyone has their "pride an joy". Mine just happens to be a plushie. :3
Yes, I actually decided to sew myself a chibi-NiGHTS plushie. ^^ Joy!

I started this at the beginning of October... I used NiGHTS' design from "Journey of Dreams". (Because that's the game we actually OWN. and Sonic thinks it's oh so pretty) Of course, I am a nitpick-y perfectionist, so I nearly drove myself crazy with all of the details... and trying to find some good hi-def pictures for refrence. But yes, everything is there... even the design on the sleeves. ^^
So, here it is, about two weeks or so later (maybe a month. 0.o) and I finally decided to put pictures up. ^^

This whole thing is hand-sewn (Yes. HAND SWEN. I do NOT trust myself with a sewing machine for various reasons). I'm also not a big fan of fabric-paint, either (again: I don't usually trust myself with it), so only ONE thing is painted on here: the eyelashes. (the eyes themselves are embroidered)

The whole thing took about three weeks (Three long, LONG weeks) to finish... and because I'm not an expierenced plushiemaker (this is only the second plush I've ever done in my entire life), it's a litle homely, but I love it all the same.

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering what's in the bag (the bottom left picture), it's candy. ^^ I had taken it with me on a band trip, and we had all stopped at a mall for dinner... and after we ate, my buds and I shopped around, and I bought a whole pound of Jujubes. Now, my little group of buddies and I all have a running joke about NiGHTS and its candy, so yeah, we HAD to get a picture


Sonic loves her NiGHTS plushie...
Oh, yes she does...

You know, to be honest, at first, I wasn't too impressed... But then, the more I looked at it, the more I just wanted to hug it and love it and want one of my very own cause it's so skishy and adorable looking. ;w;

I'm sorry Sonic, I've been meaning to comment on this ages ago! DX
This is so stinking amazinG!!!! The details! Most people wouldn't bother, but you took the patience to and it looks awesome!!! I love the clothes and everything! 8DDDDD You have a natural talent for this my friend. A very natural talent indeed. ♥♥♥ This is so amazing...

Nows I has a question. How did you make the body? Like, what shapes or pattern does it look like? And how did you make the feet?

sonictheonlyhedgehog In reply to digitsez [2009-01-18 03:33:31 +0000 UTC]

I really need to learn to stop procrastinating replies...

The body (including arms and legs) was from a doll pattern I had found at hobby-lobby (I hated how they did the head, so I found a guide on how to sew spheres. XD) so, I kind of cheated a little. XD
If you're saying 'feet' as in 'shoes, then I'm not surprised (EVERYONE seems to love its feet. A friend of mine literally squealed over them I basically took the leg pattern from before, only traced the botom half of the pattern (I'm a cheater), and slipped these on over its feet. The toes, since I didn't have shiny purple fabric, were colored with a purple sharpie-like marker for fabrics(XD I AM a cheater), and the yellow band is just a piece of felt.

And using buttons for shiny-eyebits totally works. :3 I loves it.
EEHEEHEHE I WANNA SNUGGLE IT SO BADLY.

Everyone that's seen it wants to snuggle it (A friend of mine nearly snuck out of the house with it! 0_0) ^^ It's sitting on my lap right now... along with a bag of popcorn (I'm hungry, dangit!)

Wow - I don't know what to say.

I can't sew to save my life, so, I'm just always shocked when someone is able to sew a plushie or something cute.

And this, in my definition, is cute.

OH MY GOD SONIC!

WOW! That is fantastic! How did you manage this!? I would have never managed to sew something so complicated and intricate. You put in such amazing detail. I can see why it would take three whole weeks! Wow. You, my hedge-hoggy friend, have great potential. I'd believe it in a heartbeat if someday you have your own line of plushies. And this was hand sewn? Speechless. Just speechless. What really amazed me though is that golden embroidery. How you could have done that without driving yourself nuts puzzles me.

Excellent work.

THe golden embroidery... well, I was actually pleased upon the discovery of "it's the same pattern as with the sleeves, too! "...and I can't exactly remember HOW, but I had guidelines for it... but yes, that part actually nearly drove me nuts

Very nice! You have talent. Fit for out favourite hero in the purple. I love how you took even took notice of even the finest details like the patterns on his sleeves and pants - most toy companies would have likely taken the lazy route and ignored them or painted them on. I'm fond of the button-highlights in his eyes.

Be sure to keep a close eye on him or he might just get up and fly away.
