Finally, latest project done, The Comically Large Pickle Inspector plush, by far the largest plushie I've ever made !! from hat to foot he is just over 60 inches tall, has weighted beads in his hands, heels, and part of his body, and is rather cuddly !

FINISHED MY TOOTHLESS PLUSH!!

Materials, info and some comments under the RM!

Toothless' Pattern I purchased

Materials: 6 yards of black minky 1 yard red minky 5 yards of Poly-Fil extra loft medium quilt batting 18 oz of poly pellets (4 oz in each foot) 2 Mainstay firm bed pillows for stuffing 1 spool of purple thread for the top stitching details on his tail, hip and main wings 2.5 spools of black thread Dark green, lime green, goldenrod and light yellow embroidery floss black acrylic paint white fabric paint Velcro one very old, small and cranky sewing machine who somehow survived this ordeal several comfort shows, podcasts, and music to listen to

This was my winter break project! Granted I started bits and pieces of the process in early December, but once my two weeks off hit he really started getting worked on lol.

I know it's hard to tell from photos, but he is A BIG CHONGUS. Toothless is 5.5 feet from head to tail tip, and has a 9 foot wingspan. He weighs about 8 lbs.

He took about 60ish hours and was very complex. My budget was $200 and he came in at $202! That includes things like the bulldog clips that I bought when he was being pinned because the minky was so slippery! This cost EXcludes a sewing machine, or things like an embroidery ring which my mom had, so I was very lucky in several areas—but he still was not cheap, either by expense or by time and sweat/tears!

Of course, the minky was by far the most of the cost, coming in at $122. I’d say the batting would be next, but I waited and snagged a good deal at my local craft store and got the batting for $18. I HIGHLY recommend buying bed pillows. The original maker of the pattern used IKEA pillows I believe.

I increased his size by 20%, so I printed him at 120% and guesstimated on the minky amount. My WORST mistake was forgetting to mirror the WINGS, which meant I had to recut two of the four pieces of fabric. (I should have marked it on the pattern, which I did mark well for things like number count.) Had I not done this, I would have used a lot less minky. I bought 7 yards and only needed 5.5 before my error.

(Now I’ve got scraps and a whole yard left sitting there whispering that it wants to be made into a Krobus plushie…who seems much less of a hurdle than Toothless.)

I stuffed Toothy’s hip fins and tail fins with one layer of quilt batting. His wings however, are double layered with the batting for extra plush, warmth, and durability. His eyes are hand embroidered (my first time!) but stitched on with the machine. Toothless has poly pellets in his feet to help support his bulk, but most of his weight is in his body, hips and start of his tail so he actually sits up really well.

He was a huge labor of love for sure! The pattern was great, the instructions were…less great. But my mom helped me figure out a lot of the troubling bits. Some parts were easy to follow and others were basically "bing bong fuck ya life." Despite that, I do suggest this pattern. But this is definitely an intermediate or advanced pattern. They also sell the eyes for those that have access to an embroidery machine.

I followed the pattern closely as I desired. I did omit the back spikes on his rear legs, and I couldn’t embroider his lil nose by hand ^^; I also did not make his blue alpha fins because of expense and mistrust in my own skills...also, I kinda wanted HTTYD1 Toothless haha. I love the series as a whole but the og movie is literally one of the reasons I went to college, and it went into my thesis as well.

I want to remake his prosthetic at some point when I have time and energy, but for now I’m pleased with 99% of him, especially since this is my first plushie I’ve ever made. I do not regret any of my personal changes and I’m totally in love with him.

> Karkat: become marketable plushie

Took me a bit, but he’s finally done! Equipped with his iconic homes smell ya later sickle, my Karkat plushie stands about 11 inches tall (about 8 inches sitting). Im not sure exactly how long he took to make due to me taking a long break from working on him. Let me know who I should make next!

WHAT THE HELL.... kitty.. IM OBSESSED WITH THIS GUY... hes so. what the hell

awesome pattern by the awesome IsisMasshiro on deviantart!!!

errm. hes aprox the size of a real cat as you can see. hes . extremely soft. hes made from short pile faux fur (rabbit/otter faux fur i think its called). he has plastic orange eyes, his nose and paws is fabric appliqued, and whiskers with clear plastic thread. he is very floppy also so he can sit and be liquid like a real cat (true)

he kinda looks like a Chartreux.. but with scruffy hair

also i did a bunch of thread sculpting in the face . i also cut some fur like in the bridge of the nose, and brushed some color in certain parts, like the tear-ducts and pawpads. im very very happy with this guy... hes a gift for my cousin but. i need to make one of these for myself helloooooo. stealing him..... WAAA

also. bonus. weirdoe photo. this is like if a fluffer was real

Skull kid being a cute wooden birb.

Need to make him his mask.

Naturally I couldn't resist doing a mini photoshoot with Sluggo Jr. before I sent him off to @buttart — just weighting his paws made such a huge difference to his natural postures. The rest of him is all cushiony fluff.

I made him earlier today and I actually had to go back and sew up his tail again cause the treads were loose and beans were falling out (oh no!) but he’s all good now :3
