1998 Furby Pattern (Tail Version)

1998 Furby Pattern (Mane Version)

Do Not Crop Or Resize!

This pattern will print out proportional to a regular piece of printer paper (8.5in x 11in)! This pattern includes seam allowance! I have marked in where the ear gets sewn on, where the feet go, and to leave a portion of the ear open. Otherwise, just match up the markings! There is a note on the side piece to match squares with their mirrored position. For the ears "2 of each color" means the inner color and the outer color.

I guessed on the hair puff, so it may not be entirely accurate. However it seems to be about that size and based on the funky sewing on the inside, its a circle. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG AND I WILL ADJUST!

I dont yet have a pattern piece for the tail bc that requires disassembling one, which i will do when I begin my next custom.

I hope to make patterns for 1998 babies, 2005 adults, and connects before the end of the summer.

Edit: I have added the mane pattern! please note that the mane and tail version of the side piece are DIFFERENT!! You cannot use the tail side piece for a maned furby, or the skin will be too big.

Edit 2: Please don't forget to add the fabric at the bottom for the zip tie/elastic!! The band is about 1/2 inch wide, so I would suggest making the strip you cut 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide. I dont have a measuring tape on me rn, so I can't measure how long it is :/

Edit 3: Tail added! You might need to resize the tail one a bit bc for some reason the 1in reference square doesn't look the same size? Hope this helps! :)

Yo, heads up y'all! Important info here to save your compute from Windows™ torture!

Revo Uninstaller (you can get a free version here) is great for uninstalling programmes off your computer. It even has a Windows App tab where you can murder the crappy bloatware including Cortana that Windows™ shoves down our throats with every update.

Get it.

Gods give me strength to not buy the materials to rebuild that. I don't need it, I wouldn't even know what to do with this but MAN I'd feel like I'm on the OG Enterprise and I WANT IT

I get it, people gotta pay the bills and all, but search engine optimized descriptions/tags/whatever make for such a vile internet browsing experience. It’s the difference between strolling through the forest and encountering a lovely flower in a sunny glade, and that godawful live-love-laugh type decor where the vase says FLOWERS and the coffee cup says COFFEE and the goddamn dinner plates say EAT in big block letters on a violently inoffensive off-white background as if you are incapable of making your own observations about the world around you probably because you’ve gone numb from having your senses assaulted by so much samey off-white and beige

In case you have little choice on having to use Windows 11.

Option 1: Guide to basic install de-bloated Windows 11 (by Chris Titus, with video and blog article)

Option 2a: Use a script to de-bloat Windows 11 (by simeonsecurity. more digital literacy. check "how to install" section)

Option 2b: Use a script to de-bloat and harden Windows 11 (by simeonsecurity. more digital literacy. check "how to install" section)

Note: If choose Option 2, choose either 2a or 2b. not both.

Furby Connect Pattern

This pattern doesn't require being resized, and will print on regular printer paper (8.5in x 11in)!

The main body piece, batting fluff, and tail pieces are to be cut on the fold, as labeled. As for the cheek fluff and tail tip, the should cut 2 pieces. I guess you could the tail tip on the fold if you wanted, and I think it would be a semicircle-ish shape.

This pattern includes seam allowance!!!

The face portion is a separate piece of fabric that i have yet to figure out, but I will add it upon doing so! (Which I will bc I am reskinning my connect)

If something is inaccurate lmk and I will adjust the pattern!!

what do you think are the most important things to utilize if someone wanted to learn to amplify their tech-literacy/tech-using experience?

We all know about add-block and anti-tracker add-ons, I'm thinking things like using github for various things, downloading youtube vids using yt-dlp. etc. etc. Bonus points if you can drop guides/how-tos

Other examples are things you can do with word, like adding macros, etc.

Also, what are your favourite non-game programs and apps? This could be anything.

i'm hoping to get a list where lots of folks can add on so if you could reblog that would be awesome
