#2 Step In "How I Create My Plush"

How I create my plush Step 2.

1. I continue adding more details on the computer. At this point I've finished adding just about all the details and have played with different colors and decide dhow I want the final to look. Does he look worried enough?

If I was doing stationery this guy would be about ready to show up on a note card or something but because he's a plush character he has to go thru more steps.

2. I start to pull all the pieces apart and make them all line drawings as shown below with the rabbit's clothes.


3. Nothing too exciting but necessary because I then print these pattern pieces on card stock, cut them out and use them to cut the fleece, felt or fabric I'm making the plush character out of.

Step #3 I think I'll show how I hand sew on the details.



I also have a free plush pattern and tutorial coming soon.

#1 In My New Series Of "How I Create My Plush".

How I create my plush Step 1.


1. When I start designing plush characters, I have an idea in my head first. 

2. Then I start with a small sketch. Nothing fancy, just a simple doodle.

3. I then scan the image into my computer and start to work out the sizing and details of the plush.

I wasn't happy with the smirk the original doodle had since the White Rabbit is supposed to be in a hurry and distressed. So I changed it and added more complete facial details.

4. At this point I start to work out my colors too.

This plush is a bit different from my other ones in that I'm going to machine sew and use fleece for the main body.

That's all for now. More to come later.

PART 2 can be found HERE.

On a side note I have to say how much I love the new photo feature on blogger so much easier but wish the spell check was still here. Really dumb not to keep it blogger.
