Plushies: Angry Birds

When I first played Angry Birds on my friend's Samsung Corby, my initial thought was they're cute had to have a  plushie version.

After googling a bit, I found a sewing blog with a tutorial on how to make Angry Birds characters!

Now I present you, Red:


And Pig:





Red was my first plushie experiment using me sewing machine, so he doesn't look that good. As for the Pi, I'm pretty satisfied with my sewing, though if I were to make another one, I would modify his eyes and make them flat. The tutorial asked for his eyes to be googly - cute but not my thing.

I already have the patterns to make the other characters. I'll try to make them when I have time. :)


Thanks for reading!

I can has: Atashi Plushie!

Hello! Its been a while since my last post. After doing the persocom ears post, I intended to follow it up with another Chobits-related project. Unfortunately, things got pretty busy at work so I had to postpone it for a few weeks.

Anyway, here's another plushie I made for my Chii cosplay - Atashi!

If you're not familiar with Chobits, Atashi is the main character in the book A City With No People (read more about Atashi here). Chii loved the book series, so I figured she would like to have an Atashi plushie for herself. 

For this project, I used light skin tone, black, pink fleece and a small amount of polyfill. One thing I really like about using fleece is that it doesn't fray - meaning I don't have to hem it. You can see above that Atashi's skirt is not hemmed.

I will be making Atashi's partner, Anata, soon when I have time. For now, Atashi enjoys the company of 10 other plushies on top of my bed. XD





Want to have this plushie? Just leave a message here or send me an email at madz.nievera@gmail.com for inquiries.
