I don't know how people can make plushes any smaller and not go crazy. I cruised through putting the legs together and getting the back together but I found that the small details are the death of me. Wanting to finish this plush within three days time to make the mail send out date I slept for five hours before beginning anew. Now having spent the last six hours fussing with my machine I managed to get all my hair pieces embroidered and stitched. Thats when I learned you have to reset everything to zero for every adjustment in the type of stitch you are making, every time. I had made four franken ponies with it but as soon as I start on the real deal it starts giving me trouble. I nearly had to give up right then and there with my machine refusing to cooperate with me. Next I decided to put embroidery lines along the hair which my machine did not want to do.
I was probably just too big of a perfectionist but don't go in expecting to get a standard foot high plush done within a day. Tracing and cutting took over four hours without a break. Cutting the pieces out actually took a lot longer than I had anticipated. I crossed my fingers and started tracing my pattern. Now I had to worry about actually putting it together using my real fabric.
It took me about four franken ponies later but I finally had a design I liked.
#GIANT BIG MAC PLUSH LAYING FREE#
Now some plush makers were talking about making a paper mache sculpt beforehand but that would of been just as much work for me as making a prototype plush itself so I grabbed a free blanket and went to work. After looking at a few I saw basic similarities and figured those similarities are what I should base mine around. Looking around at various plushes I tried to distinguish what I like about each and what I thought could use improvement. Now most plush makers seem very protective of their designs and finding a free one can be quite difficult so I needed to come up one of my one. Now what to do with all this fabric and sewing equipment. I scoured craigslist for weeks until one finally popped up for about 20 bucks and is a early 80s kenmore that worked out pretty good. So I decided to grab some fabric to make Big Mac, Fluttershy and Applejack. This time though I took my ticket at nine and was h9 and they were only on g36 and it ended up being nearly noon by the time I got my fabric cut. I have never really gone black friday shopping except once but it was a small city so it wasn't too bad. It ended up being about black Friday when the idea hit me so I ran over to JoAnn's fabrics to have the longest few hours of my life. For some reason I really wanted to make a plushie so I started my journey toward making it.įirst I needed a sewing machine and fabric. This was just the excuse I needed to try my hoof at making some sort of toy. So awhile ago I decided to join ponychan's /merch/ board's secret santa.
