Anyone have patterns/tutorials for this type of skirt? I'm hoping it wont be difficult because I'm not particularly skilled at sewing. I looked into petticoat tutorials but they werent exactly what I was looking for

Also what material would be best? tool, chiffon, organza? Kind of leaning towards the latter of the two because they're softer

>>9221409
It's just gathered rectangles sewed onto an elastic waistband. In that particular skirt I'd guess they went for a long pase layer of pink fabric and then layered smaller rectangles in different colours on it.
I would pick soft tulle, organza would be way to stiff and woldn't drape nicely and chiffon would just eliminate even the slightest bit of poof.

I'd be interested in the choly knight patterns OP

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but i am interested in making a custom fit T-shirts.

How do I take my measurements and apply them to a pattern.
Does anyone have a website link with some more info?

Thank you very much

What is the best way to draw a pattern like this?

That's cos, it's shaped, not circular

>>9221046
try squishing the lemon down, anon (like fabric would irl). it'll be more circular shaped

>can't easily find patterns for simple thighhighs
Also, how do I pick out a good sewing machine?
Second hand ones seem to be fairly cheap but all of them are vintage.

>>9226036
Those machines work better than a shiny new one if you spend $60 to have them serviced at a shop.
Today's machines are shit and break down rather quickly compared to old models.
Also look up Mami's socks tutorail for thigh highs, it gives a good way to go about them. Though it's basically just trace leg on fabric, sew, try on and pin super tight to leg, remove leg and sew. Sew in some elastic to keep them up and done.

I learned pattern blocking from old sewing books. Best to do it on paper, newsprint works well as it's thin and can fold to body shapes.

>>9226080
What if I need to make socks based on legs I don't have access to?
I have a great idea for socks I could sell but it's not very useful if I can only make them to fit me, especially since I'm slightly oddly proportioned.

489KB, 2048x948px

>>9226080
Also, how vintage are you talking about?
Pic related is being sold near me for the equivalent to 32.50 USD, but I can't imagine it's capable of anything fancy.

Not that I'd understand fancy, unless whether my stitches unravelled or not came down to being able to use a fancy stitch.

>>9226300
I was talking 1970s-80s, but that one looks like it comes with a lot of the extra things, and has the books. That's a great deal and good for a beginner. No it's not going to do crazy style stitches like flowers and stuff, but it can still probably do a zig-zag, straight and possibly button holes with those attachments. The stuff you actually use on plushies and costumes.

>>9221363
but anon that's crochet
>tfw can knit but suck at crochet

>>9226515
knitting is the patrician of the two desu

>>9226565
true that

>>9226565
>ignorant knitters actually believe this

But, really, they're both for different uses. Knitting is for finer garments, and the stitches are much cleaner and prettier, but it takes more time; crochet is bulky and utilitarian, but quick (which is probably why it was popular during and closely after the Great Depression).

>sage because stupid facts

>>9227463
is not that pretty much along the definition of patrician though?

I've never made a plushie before but I would like to sew one and send it to my girlfriend for Christmas, does anyone have any more simple patterns/tutorials? I was thinking to could attempt the jolteon one but I'm a bit nervous that I'll fuck it up.

>>9228881

I'm debating buying PlanetPlush's pony pattern but
>$25
Is there anyone who has it and can tell me if it's worth it? Does it at least come with nice clear instructions or anything to justify spending that amount? I mean, I could buy a book of patterns for that and someone posted her chibi human pattern earlier and it was not impressive in the least considering the price tag.

>>9231373
her pattern is expensive since she allows people to sell ponies made with it and she's factoring in that component. if i remember right the reviews said there wasn't much documentation for the price.

if you aren't picky with the pattern, there's this free one you can use courtesy of the resident horsefuckers. it produces some nice results.

how do patterns work? are they cut out and sewed together at the seams, either folder over eachother or touching?

>>9235203
You cut out the pattern from the fabric and sew the parts together with right sides of the fabric together. The right side is the "nice" side. The pattern will have indicators of where the pieces line up (see the same coloured letters on the pony pattern above, and the tic marks - although I've never seen that many on a pattern before). Patterns have seam allowance usually included so it comes out smaller than it looks on paper.

Any good half bonnet patterns or tutorials?

>>9235217
just a warning about patterns you find free on the internet, they usually don't have seam allowance. if they do, it usually says.

You really need a pattern for that? It's just a log. Teacuplion has a cute one though.

>>9235436
If you can navigate that free pattern I'm sure you'd be fine without much instruction for her pattern. The hardest part is probably the leg gusset and there are instructions for that with the free pattern.

>>9235154
Honestly, a good pattern is usually pretty easy to put together with no instruction and basic knowledge of plush construction. I honestly think that expecting a pattern, that isn't meant for beginners to hold you hand all the way is pretty shit.

>>9235438
Face is a circle with darts, belly is a rectangle with the butt area rounded. Sides are just rectangles that round out at the butt, with darts on the butt.
small semi circles for the hands and feet.
youtube has videos on how to make them out of socks if you can't draft simple shapes.

>>9234828
the thing is I'm new to both patterning and sewing clothes, I've made stuff like purses before, and small plush items with simple patterns.

>>9235887
check out some thrift stores for sewing patterns, lots of older patterns have stuff like that. Like 70s and 80s. Though I lucked out and got a ton of vintage patterns from my elderly aunt.

>>9235438
Or you could just buy a tsum tsum and take it apart for the pattern

>>9214807
this could very easily be used to make all sorts of other fruits. now I'm imagining like a plush fruit platter

>>9221363
this is glorious I'm definitely making these if I ever can be fucked to crochet again

>>9222375
idk organza doesn't hit me as that stiff in my limited, but tulle would definitely work as well.

>>9226036
vintage is *probably* fine, check for parts availability though. I'd go with a machine from the 80s or early 90s personally, I think.

Mine was sold out, along with every plush pattern I wanted.

But on the plus TILL SUNDAY JOANNS HAS ANTI-PILL FLEECE 2.99 A YARD!!! I may of went overboard when I saw the sign, but hey no need for more for a long time

Is there any heart apron pattern?

>>9255778
That's the most generic bunny ever. Just type in rabbit plush pattern on pintrest. You'll find at least 1 good pattern within the top 20 results.

Does anyone have a GOOD sea turtle pattern? For a cute sea turtle, not like a super realistic one.

Who are the best plush artists to follow? I just currently got into handmade plushies and want some recommendations! Preferably Pokemon plushies!

I don't know if this is appropriate for this thread but do sewing machines tend to go on sale on black Friday? I've been meaning to get an embroidery hybrid.

>>9260577

Aren't those just bloomers with a belt?

>>9260645

Depends on the brand, price range, and the place you intend to buy it from.

I imagine JoAnn's may have something on sale, but I don't recommend the Singer brand for embroidery. Of course, I'm biased and I buy only Brother machines.

>>9261020
I was looking into the brother innov-is 955 but I'm worried the embroidery area will be too small.

>>9260577
Bloomers !

>brother innov-is 955

A (4 x 4 inch) embroidery field is okay, but I would recommend something with a larger field if you plan to make lolita or custom clothing, quilts, bags, or large plush items with embroidered parts. A (5 x 7 inch) would probably be better if you can swing it. A ton of embroidery designs sold online are designed for a (5 x 7 inch) hoop or field; it's very frustrating having a (4 x 4 inch) field and not being able to utilize those designs. Most designs also look better the larger they are. Urban Threads usually carries (4 x 4 inch) embroidery designs, but they don't look as great as the (5 x 7 inch) or larger designs.

If you need a new sewing machine, I would look into buying that first and then shop around for an an embroidery only machine. The reason I suggest this is because I've found switching between attachments has gotten annoying and some embroidery designs can take hours to finish. I can't sew anything while it's doing the embroidery, so my projects are stacking up. Another reason is my SE400 has a (4 x 4 inch) field and it has become too small for the custom designs I create. Re-hooping and splitting designs has become troublesome and time/resource consuming. (I'm hemorrhaging money on stabilizer.) I've been looking into buying an embroidery only machine with a (6 x 10 inch) field through a local Brother dealer and would suggest you try the same before buying a machine. They might even carry sewing machines or sergers you can get a deal on.

I've included a list of benefits for buying from a dealership vs online. I'll gladly add to it if anyone has suggestions for the list. I'd like to include more benefits for the online section. It'd also be nice if we could get a resource going for sewing/embroidery machines since people are always unsure of what to buy and asking about them.

Laura (Teacuplion) is having a Black Friday sale.

Are there any other pattern makers/sewers to watch out for on Black Friday?

>>9263176
Choly knight is having one as well!

Anybody else feeling kind of let-down by the fact that Serenity Sama won Teacuplion's contest? I mean, of course it was one of the best entries, but she's basically a professional and definitely didn't need the prize. I don't know. It just leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth and I didn't even enter the contest.

I said "why bother?" when I noticed Serenity had entered. I know I should have finished my entry up and submitted it anyway, but (like you said) she's a "professional" and I'm...not. It really drained my motivation and self-confidence knowing I would have to compete against her.

I'm noticing now there are several entries from people who run an Etsy or take plush commissions. Next time, I hope Laura filters out the professionals from amateurs.

>>9264833

I went to check this out and have a look around, the prizes were patterns right? what use do pros have for them when they're perfectly capable of constructing their own?
The only thing I can think of is using those patterns to create and sell other things even it it means using the disclaimer, but still, I feel pissed for you both.

To be honest I preferred the stag beetle, I thought it used the pattern much more creatively

>>9264891

>>9264833 here.

I don't resent it if Serenity entered to have fun or to show off her skills; what I resent is that she's on a completely different level than over half of the entrants. I remember thinking she was going to take first place when I saw her entry. And she did.

I think it would have been fine if there had been a separate category for professionals. At least now I understand why a questionnaire is mandatory when people hold contests. (Unless it's a giveaway.)

>>9264904
Is there a place I can view all entries?

>>9264833

>>9265009
It's not that imaginative, it's a Halloween cliché, but it looks like you could buy it in a store and that is part of what makes me upset about it. It's like a manufactured toy instead of a handmade crafted plush, even though of course she does all her work herself it's just on such a different level from anything else it feels like cheating.

JoAnn's should be closed today for anyone looking to stop by in person for early Black Friday deals. Thought I should give a heads up. This does not apply to online sales (obviously).

>>9235438
I saw a bunch on clearance at Walmart, buy one and sacrifice it to find out how it's put together.

Whats the damage so far for everyone? so far I grabbed a few Teacuplion patterns and that's it.

>>9266995

I'm still debating, but my cart is sitting around $60+ for just Teacuplion. I can't decide if I should stick with just Teacuplion or go for some variety and buy from a few other shops.

I wish featherstitched was doing another pattern sale. I didn't get her stuff when it was and now really I'm regretting it. I really want her mimikyu.

I usually throw a detergent pack in and that's it. Most of the fleece you'll buy is meant for blankets and wearable junk, so it's not really delicate or anything.

The only firm rule: DO NOT IRON IT.

Because it burns and melts. Yes, I'm an idiot who learned this the hard way.

I did that, but I had a particularly stubborn wrinkle that wouldn't come out even after sending it through the dryer a couple of times. I started getting frustrated, so I upped the heat and threw aside the top cover I was using to protect the fabric.

Choly's December pattern is out, y'all. It's cute. Gonna make a great reindeer pattern.

Teacuplion seems to be holding some sort of daily discount for December. Not sure what's going on with that. The Cat Puff pattern has been discounted (for today?).

>>9271898
You could get any basic pattern that looks close to it, like a bear or something and just mod it. The only thing that would be a real guessing game would be the ears and those look like loops of it sewn on.
Eyes are white felt circles with a teddy bear eye on top.

It's called doll skin. if you look up Waldorf dolls, you'll find it. it's a tubular knit fabric. usually with these types of dolls, the skin fabric is pulled over a base and the seam is hidden under the hair.

Nah just outdated. This site is amazing in that it's like a time machine: you can review patterns and techniques that were being used before custom plush making became so common place.

On the off-chance that anyone of you has a scan of it.

I'm looking for the knitting pattern for the Angelic Pretty Odekake Chocolat-chan Knit Muffler, which was either in the English Gothic & Lolita Bible 4 or the Japanese GLB 27.

I'd prefer the English one but if the japanese is a stitch chart, I can work with that, too and I'd be eternal grateful for it.

Really awesome of you. I looked into ordering a copy of it for myself, but I'd have paid at least $50 for the japanese or $70 for the english one over here where I live in Europe... and that was a bit too much just to get my hands on a pattern, so I really appreciate you posting this!

Might take a while, since I'm a bit busy before Christmas, but I sure will post a picture when I'm finished.

Does anyone have any tips on selling embroidery files for plush?

I feel like the end product for my embroidery files/designs is usually better than most of the embroidery files I've seen on Etsy. Then again, I rarely bother using other people's embroidery files. I'm just not sure if there are "professional" standards I'm not aware of.

For anyone looking for Simplicity patterns, I was at Hobby Lobby earlier and they're on sale for $1 each. I managed to get both of Teacup Lion's sets as well as the kigurumi pattern.

>>9282708
What do you digitize with? I can't get my files to account for the stretch that fabric gives so I always have a gap between colors. (Also I can't figure out the setting for the nice thick border most outlines have)

>>9283505

Embird...but it's an old version that's several years behind by now.

Do you overlap the colors? I usually make sure they overlap just a bit to prevent gapping. It's like adding seam allowance to a pattern.

For borders, I usually use the "outline object" tool (I think it's called that) and then manually adjust the parameters to change it into a satin stitch, followed by the desired width.

>>9235247

Seconding this

>>9283830
I'm using SewArt64 and maybe I just can't find the proper settings for the overlap but I'll look around, thanks! I'm sure your patterns would be fine on Etsy, just offer a wide variety of file types to account for most machines. (Personally I find that .pes are hard to come by for some reason)

use a matching thread

Is it okay if I ask about sewing here? I don't come to this board ever but I have taken somewhat of an interest in sewing because I am somewhat poor and would like to be able to repair my own coats and the like. That also led me to thinking about actually creating stuff because I am also interested in history and it's extremely hard to find reproduction uniforms or coats that are not exorbitant in cost.

I am a complete beginner. What books and tools would someone recommend? I can't afford a sewing machine.

>>9293236

>>9284708
>>9284448

check here anon. and seriously, if you want to get into historical costuming and you 'can't afford' a sewing machine, you can't afford to do costuming. You can get a nice workhorse of a machine for under $200 in the US.

>>9293426

Depends on whether they want their costume to be hand stitched or machine stitched.

>>9293432
I'm just talking material prices here anon.

>>9293432
And anyway, depending on how historical you want to go with uniforms, the sewing machine was invented mid/late 1800s. So anything after that was made with a machine.

>>9293433

Very true.

>>9293426

Anon, if you're that poor but still want to learn, I suggest beginning with hand sewing plush toys/felt stuffies and trying to sell them online. Find a niche. Use the money you make to save up for a sewing machine and better fabric.

true! hand sew small things.

but Im telling you, there's a reason that the sewing machine took over. Some people laude how they hand sewed shit, but it's no better than machine sewing.

Yeah, I was thinking about that and had to look up when sewing machines were invented. I'm southern, so the first thing that comes to my mind is Civil War reenactments when the word "historical" is mentioned. I'm pretty sure some of the uniforms may have been hand stitched, but I'm not 100% positive. I think it really just depends. For all I know, anon wants a "historical" peasant costume from 14th century Europe.

I hate hand sewing. I can do it just fine, but I prefer to machine sew my plush. I'm not advocating we should all hand sew or that it looks better than machine sewn items so I'm not sure where you're going with this.

I just don't want to discourage someone from learning to sew when it can help them.

Thanks, lads and lasses. Looking more into this now. I had no clue this was so expensive.

It just occurred to me I have absolutely no sewing reference books. I do use the manual that came with my sewing machine, but it's not exactly great.

Can anyone recommend some books on sewing? Books you've personally used.

This book. It is the holy grail of techniques. There's also an embroidery one that's awesome too. The old ones are just as good as new. I always buy secondhand through amazon.

embroidery one. I also keep around the pamphlet that comes with zippers since it has IMHO the best instructions for inserting a zipper.

Thank you. Adding these to my wishlist.

I want to make something for this girl I know (who likes whales) but I legitimately cannot afford fabric plus I'd have to order it online since there's nothing near me to get it (rural).

Would it be stupid or pathetic or something to cut up one of my old shirts that's the right colour and use that? It's not felt but I want to do this but can't afford to do it properly.

What pattern are you using? Some patterns are pre-adjusted for fleece or minky, so using something without some stretch to it might not turn out well. But if it's meant to be a felt ornament, then it wouldn't really matter.

>>9298100

I don't know. I just searched Youtube for a plush whale tutorial. I don't think I'm going to use it though.

Please report back on your experience with them, I kind of want to buy some of that stuff too

Anon, really, if he has zero experience you should start with something like a cube cat.

Speaking of Choly...It's time to start finishing up your projects for the monthly crafting challenge, gulls.

She also has a coupon code available for 2016's monthly crafting challenge patterns. Now's the time to get your 2016 MCC patterns and save a dollar. It'll probably expire after the new year begins.

Anybody tried this pattern before?

>>9302430
it's kinda wonky, arms are really small

I want to thank everyone who has posted a pattern in this thread.

I've spent over $100 the past six months buying patterns from various plush artists talked about in this thread. I wouldn't have bothered, however, if I hadn't gotten the chance to try out some of their patterns first. I know most artists would prefer we not share patterns, but I probably would have never bothered buying from them at all if it weren't for this thread.

Anyway, thanks.

I put it together to the best of my ability. It's cute. It's kind of wonky though like >>9302563 said and could use some adjusting. But then I also didn't know exactly how to put it together since I used what was posted and didn't buy it directly. I assume it comes with at least a little bit of instruction if you buy it from her etsy?

>>9306006
This.
I love sharing and saving some cash but I also bought a lot of patterns during black friday that I wouldn't have bothered with if I hadn't been encouraged by some of the ones shared here for free.

>>9306103

What kind of fabric did you use?

>>9306103
lol, it looks like you put the fabric stretch the wrong way for the head

It seems like it doesn't come with instructions for the pattern itself, that's why I asked if anybody tried it before because when I sew the head it looked wonky as well(Tho, I'm not experienced sewer to being with)

Sorry to request, but does anyone have any cute patterns for a floppy/rag-doll-y dog or wolf plush? Something that would be nice to cuddle with, and maybe a bit large.
I had to give up my dog a few days ago, and my heart is broken. I just need something to keep me busy and to fill the void for now.

>pic not my doggo but like my doggo
