this tutorial really helps a lot, especially since your pattern isn't marked other than how many of each piece to cut.
this is a really good pattern overall. I have over 10 years of sewing experience and am a Fashion design major who just loves to make things by hand and cosplay... I've been looking for a plush/chibi pattern forever that I liked and I love this one! so easy, and this tutorial is straightforward and easy to follow, despite the adorable cat interruptions. 
this pattern is awesome. I just wanted to let you know

love your tutorials, and it's funny as I start working on my plush, I've had 2 of my 4 cats try to help me. lol it be awesome if you show how you put the arms on or how you do your clothes. so far I like what I've done. ^__^

Yay! Glad they have been helpful!!
Arms I could probably do, but clothing is really particular to each plush so I'm not really sure how I'd tutorialize that. I will think about it though!

The bottom triangles on the back of the head?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. D:
I don't know if I'm suppost to fold them and stich the bottoms or what to do. e-e

The go together so you do the back seam first and the touch the sides of the triangles together and sew them along that line on the same side of the fabric as you did the back seam. Does that help?

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!

Ok I have another question (sorry. >w<) Is it better/easier to make the outfit and put it on the body before you sew on the head?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It really depends on the outfit

In that case I guess I'll just experiment. ^_~ Thanks. ^_^

I have a slight problem, the felt I bought seems very weak...am I supposed to prewash it, or is it just really crappy qquality that I bought?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah it might just be crappy felt T___T Sometimes it's a bad batch. Ecofelt is the brand I think I like the most.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. I think I'm fairly limited around here so I might have to look for it online...thank you though!

Thanks! Um, out of curiosity, where do you order yours from? I'm having some difficulty finding any

I'm a little confused about the back of the head/hair. It's hard for me to see what you did because of the black hair. O.o The use of white thread may have helped even though I know it wouldn't have been up to Sakky standards. Lol. I have the side sewn together but all that triangle talk got me confused about the bottom. O.o Do I need to fold the ends into triangles? Or just sew them together somehow? Oh, I wish I wasn't so easily confused! Lol.
