meet the first prototype of fat bat, who is the september pattern reward! bats are one of my favorite animals, and i have bats nest in a bat house that i have every year 🦇 so i've been wanting to make my own bat plush for a while!
i'll be working on a more finished prototype next, cleaning up some of the pattern parts. i'll also be continuing w...

here he is! the final version of the sugar rush werewolf, with safety eyes and nose. and, thanks to gaby, i settled on the "sugar rush" theme - he turns when he eats too much sugar!
i'll be working on the instructions for the pattern throughout the rest of the month! i'll also be mixing in work on september rewards. i'm planning on starting the pattern reward tomorrow, which will also be hallo...
2023-08-22 01:28:20 +0000 UTC View Posthappy friday! today i took the new werewolf shopping for some new fabric for his shirt 🛒
i ended up with this very bright and colorful lollipop fabric! it was the closest thing that fit his vibes. so now... i really don't know what to call him 🤔 i suppose he is the lollipop werewolf now?
i took some photos of him, but if i can'...
2023-08-18 22:02:37 +0000 UTC View Postthe baby's coming along! here he is with an embroidered face so that i can show in the instructions & photos how it looks like with the optional embroidered eyes and sewn nose. i will be replacing his face with a version with safety eyes and nose for the final product, though!
i've been thinking of him as crayon theme now, but maybe he'll end up being a jellybean 🤔 it all depends on what fabric i find for his shirt at the store!
he's made from the same floppy werewolf patte...

i continued work on the new werewolf today that's being made for the instructions! and look at this new friend who showed up!! this zombie ditto pin will be a part of my combined halloween/fall shop update that i'm planning for early october! i'll be starting production on the plushies next month! so excited for this little guy and to design his themed backing card!

hey all! hope you're having a wonderful week so far!
i started a new werewolf yesterday! this guy is being made from normal 3mm minky so that i can take clear pictures for the instructions. it's just too hard to see what's going on with luxe cuddle minky! i was originally going for a "summer" color palette and theme, but i'm getting some serious "crayon" vibes instead, so i think i'm going to go shopping for a new fabric for his shirt 🤔 i'm hoping to get him sewn up by thursday!

i've been working on vectoring the pattern for the floppy werewolf! i'm nearly done, and was just working on the centering objects for the pattern pieces with embroidery. once i'm done i'll be making one more werewolf from minky for the instructions! luxe cuddle minky is just too hard to see what's going on, even though i think the werewolves will look best ...
I'm so happy i was able to finish up this guy today! I have some very minor cleanup to do, but I'm so pleased~ he was made with my floppy werewolf pattern that is releasing to $5 tips & tutorial and higher patrons on aug 31!
I just love the fabric i found for his shirt. I liked it so much, i bought extra to make a table runner for myself as a halloween decoration 🙈

happy tuesday! i didnt get nearly as much work done today as i wanted due to a vet appt running longer than expected 😩 but i did manage to get photos & a video of the classic werewolf!
i also started work back up on the candy corn werewolf! i got the remainder of the fabric cut out. it takes much longer because it's luxe cuddle, so i have to cut it with a razor instead of scissors 🥴 i'm also sewing the claws by hand because they are sublimated to get the candy corn effect, whi...

today i decided to give the classic werewolf a facelift to match the newer version of the head pattern 🐺 all the stray threads were cleaned up and he is ready for his closeup (photoshoot) tomorrow! the pictures will be for social media and advertising the pattern :) after that, back to work on the candy corn werewolf which i'm VERY excited to finish up! i also cannot wait to see what you guys make with this pattern 😭

Ohh boy I'm so excited for how this one is turning out! I finished all his embroidery today and managed to get the head sewn together. I'm really happy with it so far and I'm looking forward to finishing him! I love how shaggy the luxe cuddle minky is~ He will be a cutie for sure! 🤍🧡💛 I hope to get him finished early next week!
Today i began another floppy werewolf using the august reward pattern! I am VERY excited for this color scheme - i just love loud halloween palettes! 💛🧡🤍
I always like to make at least 3 complete plush from the pattern:
happy wednesday!
today i dropped off all the plush tier rewards and a bunch of sticker rewards for those with early renewal dates! 💪 (i've found a new favorite post office.. it's always EMPTY somehow! it's a miracle!)
i also designed some pins for the future winter shop update! i'm doing another set of miniature pins like the sweetdittos, and here's a preview... hehehe 🍪👀

Hey all! Sorry for no update yesterday, my day got cut short!
Today i finished up the floppy werewolf, with the exception of some cleanup on stray threads and trimming some of the fur! This guy will be a pattern reward for august! I am Soooooooo excited to see what you guys make with this pattern. Its so versatile and cute!
Hey all! Hope you're having a great Monday!
I dropped off all the ditto orders at the post office this morning! It must be my lucky day because for once it wasnt busy 😤👍
I also finished the major sewing on the floppy werewolf body! I still need to stuff the paw pads and sew the claws in but i wanted to get the bigger elements done first! I took ahead the minky head for the pattern so i pinned on the old luxe cuddle head for these photos. I'll be working on the head tomorrow! I hop...
Hi all, hope you've had a wonderful weekend! Thank you to everyone who supported me in any way for yesterday's summer drop! I'm always nervous for my shop updates but you guys manage to blow me away every time 🥹
I've spent the last 2 days working on fulfillment! Since i have to wait to finish scenting all the dittos until all orders come through i spend the first day adding scents and finishing hand sewing. And today my husband and i packed up arouns 150 orders 😳 we're getting pretty...
Happy Friday!
The majority of my last 2 days has been preparing for tomorrows shop update which is happening at 1pm EST! All the items needed to have pictures taken and be listed on my shop.
After that I was able to continue work on the floppy werewolf pattern for august! Before i took apart the prototype for the pattern i snapped this past photo of him. It continues to surprise me how posable this pattern is! I'm so excited for it! I worked on the body pattern including making the paw ...
I've had so much fun today! I continued work patterning the floppy werewolf for the August pattern reward. I switched to minky to be able to edit and track pattern changes more easily, as its nearly impossible for me to do with luxe cuddle minky since i mark up the fabric! I plan on changing the back legs to be a bit more detailed and making minor edits to the head shape. Once i fix that I'll make a complete prototype out of luxe cuddle minky with additional details like claws and paw pads! U...

Hey all! Hope you had a wondeful weekend! Mine was full of dittos!!
Today i finished up the shadow popsicle pattern! I'll be working on the instructions likely late this week or early next week - because I've been very motivated to start on August's pattern reward, which i included a little preview of 👀 he needs a lot of work still but I'm very excited!!
Happy Friday!
I started the day off with some more ditto photos for the summer ditto drop! I'll be making some smores this weekend for more photos so i am VERY much looking forward to that shoot 👀

Besides photos I'll continue hand sewing dittos this weekend! Early next week I'll be preparing my shop for the drop on the 22nd a...
Happy Thursday! I'm bouncing back and forth between continuing work on the summer dittos and picking work back up on the sonic & shadow popsicle plushies which are a pattern reward this month!

Fried to perfection, shrimp ditto is the last addition to my summer ditto drop this month!
I had the idea for this fella shortly after my 2022 summer drop. I was so bummed I didn't think of it earlier. So I'm very happy to be able to bring him to life this year!
My summer shop update is still planned for saturday, July 22!
