Description
I'm having a dango plush giveaway! Check it out:starstreak-seeker.deviantart.cā¦
I absolutely love the anime Clannad and all the little dango that come with it. I showed my friend this anime and she was hooked. So, for part of her upcoming 18th birthday present I decided to make her a dango plush. I can barely fit my arms around this beast of a plush. It took about 3 days to make. Not so much the sewing, which took me about 30 minutes, but it was the freaking eyes. Instead of copping out by using fabric paint, I embroidered the eyes. I'm fairly new to embroidery, but this was super easy. The reason it took me so long is that it was a very tedious task and I have ADD. It is hard for me to focus on one thing for an extended amount of time. But, I plan on making another one for myself. My dog wants another one to cuddle with too. (^-^)

I really want to make one this size for my boyfriend, he would just love it. I just need to know how big these measurements are, or how to enlarge your template to make one this size. I'm completely clueless ;n;

Umm...what type of fabric did you use to make the plush? It looks very soft..
š: 0 ā©: 1
Anti-Pill Fleece. It is very soft fabric, and you won't get little balls of fabric fuzz (pill) like you would if you used felt.

How much fabric did you need for this size? and how big is it exactly?
š: 0 ā©: 1
I want to say the circumference was about 56 inches. I could barely wrap my arms around it (but, my arm span is only 64-ish inches). The pattern I have posted isn't for this size though. I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on how to make a pattern so that people can make a dango this size, or even bigger if they want. I think I had a yard of fabric when I first made this, but I'm not certain. It has been a while since I've made a dango this size. (

This is so pretty! I want to make one for a friend's birthday in about 2 weeks, and your pattern really helps a lot! Now I'm about to get materials some time soon, and I wanted to ask what kind of fabric you used for this 
I'm sorry for all the questions! I want to make this gift as perfect as possible >w<

Woops, I shoulda read the comments first! >.<
I found the tutorial as well >.>
Nevermind my questions, I'm sorry ^.^;;

Thank you very much!
I would like to sell dangos of this size sometime in the future, but I need a more efficient way to stitch the eyes. I'm sticking with the smaller sizes for now.

Sorry for asking on here, oh and thanks for watching me too! How did you do the embroidery for this dango? Sideways instead of long ways? How long did it take you to do the eyes?
š: 0 ā©: 1
I do the eyes horizontally for large dangos like this one. For smaller ones, like the size you get from the pattern I posted, I do the eyes vertically.

Ahh... I butchered the eyesnfor the big dango im making. I cant seem to make it look like this one

How big is it? and what stuffing do you recommend for it?
š: 0 ā©: 0
I'm in the process of creating my own Dango family X3 but I'm gonna be asking my mom to get me some fabric to make a big one XD. I'll post a pic when its done.
š: 0 ā©: 0
To make? Probably around $25-30 USD, but a smaller size will cost less. The stuffing is what costs the most. You can get fabric for cheap.

How big did you make the pattern to get it this size?
š: 0 ā©: 1
The diameter of the circle base was 15 inches, so...about 2 times the size of the pattern I posted.

May I ask, if I enlarge the pattern on photoshop, will I still be able to print it on a 8.5 x 11 printer paper? Or will that not work?? o_O
š: 0 ā©: 1
You should be able to do that. I'm working on a way enlarging the pattern also.

That's so awesome! I want to try my own, but i was wondering how you did the seem at the top with all four triangle tops?
š: 0 ā©: 1
I sewed from one to end to the other all the way across the top after I had sewed all four pieces together. It will be shown in the tutorial...once I post it. (>.<)

This is totally amazing! It also makes me want to have a dango plush even more than before.
Good work! ^-^

Thank you very much! They are really easy to make even if you aren't the best at sewing, and the cost to make one isn't a lot.
š: 0 ā©: 0
They are fairly easy to make, you just have to have patience. You can cop out on the eyes and use black fabric paint instead of embroidering them onto the fabric. Sewing isn't too hard either. If you do it by hand, it take fifteen minutes to many hours depending on whether or not you use a sewing machine or if you sew by hand.

I posted the pattern a little while ago.

uahhh don't you have the molds for this? I wanted to make it, and yours is the best I've seen! ^^

I made the pattern myself, but I still have it. I can post a miniature pattern here on DA, and you can enlarge the pattern to make it whatever size you want. It will be a couple of weeks before I get the pattern on here because I'm on vacation at the moment. If you don't mind waiting until then, I'd be glad to post it.

I will wait happily! No problem~ And thank you sooo much ^o^
