Adding Details to a Plushie with Threadsculpting

[@leethememerwolf]

Also this is great for any people who want to learn more about plushie making.

[@geccco]

Great video! I bought your Wolf Link Plushie pattern today and I can't wait to get started with it!!😽

[@VincentGabrielReading]

Omg I just found this channel and you are fantastic! I love your energy and you really put a smile on my face!❤

[@dollphinwing]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@naomigwolfe8112]

First! Also I needed this! For the riolu plush I had decided I wanted toe beans on the front and back paws, and also made a poncho for it! Thank you!

[@dollphinwing]

Glad you found it helpful ^_^

[@naomigwolfe8112]

@@dollphinwing If you wouldn't mind, would you please make a horns and claws video for plushies! I really wanted to add claws to one of my favorite black cats, and a couple horns to a dinosaur for my lil' bro. It is okay i you don't want to, or don't have enough time.

[@naomigwolfe8112]

or perhaps a how to hide seams video if you haven't already done it lol :3

[@mnordpol7805]

Thanks for that video!

Ik this commentbis late but I am so glad I am not the only person who will use a plushie as a pin cushion for the needle while sewing.

Suppah cute plushie!!!!!!!!!!

[@NinjaNeko93]

Great and funny video :) thank you for the tips. Quick question: besides the tutorial on DA how else did you learn how to do needle sculpting?

[@dollphinwing]

I first learned from this video, after that it was just doing it over and over on new plushies I made 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoKlimimq5Woo8U

[@dusklantern]

Could you make a video on how to add wings and horns? If you take a look at my pfp I’m trying to make my oc dragon cat so I’d you could that be wonderful! Ty!

[@mercyryff1744]

Omg it would have been perfect if you'd had sewn it's neck and head up on the bottom, attached Velcro to the neck and under the head, and make it purposefully a headless horsecat! :0000

[@sophianazareno2926]

I’m semi new to sewing and was wondering if you had any tips for making the body like that (in a sitting down form) . I’ve been struggling to find a tutorial and just any tips in general to that so I’ve just been sticking to round plushes but I really wanna make something like that !

[@starfoxandstellar9917]

look for videos on adding a "skeleton" inside the plush so it is posable. Another tip would be to maybe make your plush's body less round and more rectangular. You could also create your plush's torso and adjust where the legs would lay aka where the hole would be for a permanent sitting plush.

[@wormykarma02]

I see a Nadia poster in the back :0 also thanks for the tips!

[@dollphinwing]

Yes I love Nadia! ^_^ And no problem, glad it helped!

[@amybruton3382]

What weight thread is best for sculpting?

[@dollphinwing]

I tend to use 40 weight thread, I've also seen people use embroidery floss too!

[@ShiroKemono]

Hello can you help me. I have a Zeraora plush 30 cm and I want to copy ot and make it a life size. My idea is to put some duck tape and trace it then the pattern I will make it big then sew it. Is it gonna work or nah? Plus I want it to like it have a skeletal inside do you know what is it? Thank you! ありがと!

[@dollphinwing]

Yes, that is a good technique and lots of people do it that way. Just cover the plush in plastic wrap first so you can get the tape off after! Then you can make a test of the pattern you trace, make sure it looks ok before you increase the size. For the skeleton, you can make it using PVC pipes. That will make it stand up. がんばってください ^_^

[@ShiroKemono]

@@dollphinwing thank you verry much ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

[@ShiroKemono]

@@dollphinwing follow up question sorry, what does Polyethylene do for the plush?

[@dollphinwing]

@@ShiroKemono It's the wrapping you use for food. It will protect your plushie and make it easier to remove the tape after you draw the pattern.

[@jennieberg372]

I know it’s rude or something but how do you made the head ? I want to make a bat plushy for her but the most heads I found are ugly but this shape is exactly what I search could you please show how you made it ? If not it’s totally okay. Thank you

[@dollphinwing]

Hello, this is a pattern I sell on my website. It comes as a sitting or standing version, both have this head and directions to make it. Thanks for looking :) dollphinwing.com/search?q=cat

[@CrystalVaporeon44]

Thankyou so Much gor this! I tried to sew the toes of my umbreon plush on the seweing machine but.. the needle Exploted;; so gosh... Plush makers please don't be dumb like me and search for tutorials like this one first xD;;

[@kitkatxk2814]

Hey can I ask how do you make sure both eyes match on either side and that none are crooked or pointing off the wrong direction. I can't seem to make mine match. No matter how hard I try and I am on a time crunch for a birthday. I looked online but there doesn't seem to be any tutorials for this.

[@dollphinwing]

How are you doing the eyes, embroidery? You would embroider/applique the eyes first and then trace your pattern on the back of the fabric (use a template with a hole for the eye so you can line it up) If it's something like safety eyes, you can put a dot on the back of the fabric and cut a teeny hole. Attach the safety eyes before assembling the head if you can. Here's a more in-depth video from Makeshiftwings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foGbfqOMoLyMm7M

[@kitkatxk2814]

@@dollphinwing I am embroidering each eye with my regular sewing machin by hand. On seperate pieces and then attaching the pieces of the face together after. And sometimes they don't match up. Even when I lay them flat next to each other with the felt eyes pinned on each seperate piece and swear they line up.

[@kitkatxk2814]

@@dollphinwing omg template on the top. Does that work on fuzzy fabric? Why didn't I think of that! I was printing it on a paper then placing the paper underneath. But the fabric is rosette minky and doesn't show through. So I was failing.

[@dollphinwing]

@@kitkatxk2814 I used to do something similar, but minky fabric is slippery so the eye sometimes moves out of place when you go to sew it. Does the rose minky have a backing you can draw on? If it's double sided you could also pin the paper pattern down securely in the right spot and sew a loose straight stitch around it.
