Homemade thread!

I don't have any pictures of it currently, but I've made a Pikachu hoodie, Poochyena hoodie, Jolteon hoodie, Charmander hoodie, working on a Typhlosion plush and dress, a gameboy color bag with changeable screens (featuring Yellow and Red version), and I'm planning more in the future.

I'm making either a plushie or a 1/7 scale figure of Lusamine out of polymer clay. I make plushies all the time but wouldn't mind making a figure for a change. Any tips?

I tried to make Alola Raichu using a pre existing sewing pattern and slightly modified it. Not extremely happy but it's aight. I don't usually make plushes but I do make cosplays.

That's not really a ripoff. It takes at least 24 hours to craft something custom like this. But you wouldn't know because you probably can't make a clay ball.

160 is a little on the high end, but it came out looking professionally made, so I'm not particularly surprised.

You're an idiot. It takes quite a lot of time to handcraft something like what I commissioned them to make. In materials, yes, probably $40; but I'm paying for their time. And it's art. Art is expensive.

Just fyi it's not strictly about material costs (although Minky is a relatively expensive fabric and difficult to work with). It also takes time to create the sewing pattern or template, cut out the fabric, and sew it together. Heliolisk looks like a moderately complicated pattern, so I can imagine that drafting and perfecting the pattern would take a few hours by itself. Add in detailing work like the eyes (which look like they're machine stitched) and all the time spent making it adds up.

If we made the assumption that the creator wasn't taking advantage of economies of scale, he/she very easily could be making below minimum wage while charging $175.
