Description
I love Winter Break, because it means that I have time to put together things like this! I hope this makes up for me not giving out my Goodra pattern, lol.
Anyway, as promised, here is a tutorial on how to use my pattern to put together a Goomy plushie! Apologies if it's a little bit vague. I'm assuming that you have a basic knowledge of stitching and that I don't have to tell you exactly which mark corresponds to which other mark. As I said, if you have any questions, let me know. I'd love to help you out!
P.S. Hey, you! Yeah, you! The person looking at this tutorial who's thinking "man, I'd love to do this; if only I knew how to sew...". You can sew! Check back later for a tutorial from me on how to get into sewing and plush making even if you've never touched a spool of thread in your life.

Hey! I was wondering if you have any additional tips/tricks on sewing curved edges together? I've been working on a dragonair plush and I used a gusset for the head, but the gusset has some curves (gets a bit broader towards the top of the head) and obviously the two 'side pieces' for the head have cures/edges as well to give the nose some shape. I took inspiration from an official dragonair plush. Either way, I found it really difficult to correctly sew the gusset to the head pieces, I found it can't be succesfully done by sewing machine so I try it by hand but it has proven really difficult to make the pieces align properly and after stuffing it ends up a little wrinkly from my forced attempts to get them aligned... I hope you understand my explanation haha. xD Do you have any tips to make this easier? I would be very grateful. ^^

Oh sorry for the super delayed response, I was on vacation and I hate typing up responses on my phone ;_; I think I understand what you mean though, sewing together curved shapes which don't have the same shape or are opposing curves. Honestly, my only advice there is to pin at regular intervals, making note of which parts should be aligned with each other, while at the same time not forcing it too hard, because as you said otherwise you get some weirdness when it gets stuffed. I haven't run into too many curves which I wasn't ultimately able to do with my machine, although sometimes what I like to do is to sew the curve lightly in place by hand, and then run it through the machine.
Let me know if I misinterpreted or you need anything else!

It's called minky fabric made by Shannon. It's a bit difficult to find in store but there's online stores like The Minky Boutique you can buy it from!

I think that with this pattern, he's probably somewhere in between easy and intermediate. If you choose to sew/applique the green dots on top instead of sewing them directly into the body piece like I did, it's probably beginner material, but sewing those green dots in can be a big pain in the rear, and I'd imagine beginners might have some trouble with that part. Other than that though it should be good beginner material! Almost like sewing together a sphere.

How do you size the pieces out so that they're proportionate. It's driving me nuts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean cutting out the pattern pieces? Since the pieces on the pattern are already to scale with each other, usually what I do is just scale them up in some image editor and print them all out at once, so that they're all the same size.
I might've misinterpreted your question though; let me know if that wasn't what you wanted!
