I know I promised that I would be making XIII-2 weapons (lol technically this guy is a weapon), but this opportunity just came up out of nowhere!

My friends were having a make-your-own weapon pillow fight and I also saw made a Mog of her own. I also found this tutorial on making a 3D plush [link] , and I had extra foam cushion lying around. pretty much the stars aligned on this one... it did take me a whole night to finish this since I had to make a plush form and pin the fabric down everywhere. All my friends finished their work when I just finished cutting out the pattern xD

It was my first time using a sewing machine for myself, but since it is mechanical it was a fast learning curve for me and I felt pro after a few hours. Obviously since it was my first time sewing by machine and making a plush I messed up on the pattern a little, but it can be easily fixed when I have the time. I feel so much more familiar with the sewing machine that I am confident I can fully make my own cosplays now! Anyways, to make up for the flaws I stuffed this little treasure hunter silly so it is ridiculously huggable!

I am still not done with this guy because I just had this ridiculously awesome idea (thanks to ) that I wanted to try, but I need to dig into my junk pile for a while. Also many thanks to all my friends for creating/hosting a DIY weapons pillow bloodshed.

I am also afraid this plush will get dirty so should I make a thick acrylic seal over the whole thing? Should I make another one to auction at Katsucon? I would like to know your opinion on this!
