Lynx beanie prototype wip

hey all, happy friday! here's a preview pic of the lynx beanie baby pattern i've been working on this week for the july pattern reward 👀 it's my first time making a full beanie pattern so it's been a challenging experience so far! i'll be showing a finished one off next week!

have a great weekend and summer solstice!

Pink sheep!

hey all, hope you had a great weekend! i spent two days in a row getting my leg tattooed so i'm pretty sore but excited to get back to work this week!

heres a pink sheep i made at the end of the week! she has the plain horn pattern that will be included - ngl i designed them with cinnamon rolls in mind and i hope to see someone make a cinnamon roll sheep with my pattern hehehe 👀 she also has a minky face and legs!

i'll be starting the lynx beanie pattern for july this week!

New susheep!

happy hump day! here's the sheep i finished for the instructions photos! this one features safety eyes and the fish cake horns. while i made the red sushi for the instructions, i'll be selling the fish cake one with the pink sushi from the previous sheep, as i think the colors go better the other way around!

reminder this is june's pattern reward and releases on june 30. i'll be posting the material requirements soon!

Sushi sheep reveal!

Meet susheep, June's pattern reward!
I changed my mind on the horns from when i posted the sneak peak earlier this week and decided to make sushi rolls, but I'll be including the fish cake horn option with the pattern too! I'll also be including plain horns for anyone who would like to make a non-sushi sheep with this pattern too :)
The sushi is removable since it just attaches with the seaweed wrap.

Sushi sheep sneak peak

Here's a little peak at some of the details of the upcoming sushi sheep pattern for June! Hoping to have the first example finished in the next couple days 👀
(OK I know fish cakes don't really go with sushi but I couldn't pass up the opportunity!)

Minky badger

Here's the minky flat badger example I finished this week! He's made entirely from 3mm minky with the exception of his mochi paw pads. Also showing what the embroidered eyes look like instead of safety eyes!
This pattern releases may 31!
I'll be working on the badger instructions the rest of the month and starting on the sushi sheep pattern for June next week. Have a great weekend!

Mochi badger

here is a badger i finished up this morning made entirely of mochi minky! much more squishy and lorge than the luxe cuddle version~ i'll be making one more badger this week from 3mm minky, and then starting on the sushi sheep pattern for june!
reminder this flat badger pattern comes out may 31!

May pattern reward - flat badger 🦡

happy flat f*ck friday! here is a video of the flat badger pattern reward for may 🦡

as always black fabric is hard to photograph 🤦‍♀️ so you'll just have to make one to see how cute he is in person! 😉

he's about 16" long with puffy mochi paw pads and floppy limbs! he is a very polite little dude too 😇

May sticker reward reveal

another addition to the breakfast buddy gang - poptart ditto! 🤍

NGL, i am more of a brown sugar fan, but strawberry poptarts are much more ~aesthetic~

what poptart flavor is your favorite?

First look at flat badger

Hey all! Hope you've had a wonderful week! I've been working on the first prototypes of the flat badger pattern for may the last few days! Here's a little preview of a very early prototype!
