#I simply must hold Koby OP in my hands and squeeze him

[akacatkat]

Sewing isn't my strongest suit but I wanted to at least try to make my little scrunkle, Koby. I'm making him out of felt and other materials had on hand from previous projects now, but if all goes well I'll remake him with better more durable materials! I'm using this pattern by @maromayu328saix on twitter.

I've never embroidered any thing complex, so I looked into methods specifically for making dolls like this. I learned a lot from this video by PiyoPicco; I probably didn't do a lot of things right but it's better that I would have done without watching it! It's pretty thorough, so I think it's great for those with little embroidery knowledge! I should have embroidered the fabric before cutting the pattern, but I got a bit excited and acted without thinking, so I mounted it on some scrap fabric so at least the fabric was taut while embroidering. It works alright, since I also don't have any stabilizer either. Pliers were my friend for when it was difficult to pull the needle through, though I should have also used a thimble in addition since I ended up making my finger tips sore from embroidering for so long!

After some unfortunate luck, a very special item finally came in that will make this plush absolutely joyous!
