This is what I've been working on for the past 4 days, along with birthday art and art projects for school: a plushie.

I used the tutorial and pattern by , which can be found here: [link]

Since I didn't know how well this would turn out considering I haven't sewn anything in a year and that this was my first time using this tutorial and the patterns, I made everything peach so that depending on how well it turned out, I could turn it into just about anyone.

As you can see (or maybe not), I had a lot of trouble with this since I got confused a lot by the instructions and often sewed things the wrong way - and as you can see, I sewed the legs together while the plushie was right side out.

That was because right near the very end of the project, I realized that I couldn't turn the plushie right side out because I'd used peach felt (the only material I could find with that color), and the whole thing would be meaningless if I couldn't do that. before I was to sew the feet onto the legs, I was supposed to turn the plushie right side out. Luckily, with a lot of effort, my dad was able to turn it right side out.

However, after I sewed the feet on, I was supposed to turn it inside out to sew up the legs, and then right side out again, which I didn't think the felt could handle (or that my dad would comply to that). So I just sewed up the legs right side out and decided that whoever the character was going to be, they'd be wearing pants to cover the sewing between the legs.

Now that I actually finished it, I don't know who to turn it into My objective was to have a Johan plushie (copying much?), but I don't think I want THIS plushie to be my Johan plushie because I didn't do the best job on this one. Besides, I'm on the search for some peach/ivory/whatever-is-closest-to-a-Caucasian-skin-tone fleece for a Johan plushie since I'd prefer him to be uber-soft

Another reason is because when I first sewed together the head, it looked like a vertical football, which would be too narrow for Johan's face though stuffing the head definitely helped take away SOME of the vertical-football-head-ness :/

So what do you guys think? Who should I turn this plushie into? Since I don't have a subscription, I can't make a poll, so just tell me what you think in a comment

-Later
