Make your own Yoshi Plush

[@styrofoamgoddess8491]

When I was younger, I saw this video and taught myself how to sew just so I could do this. Now I'm a professional seamstress and designer, thank you so much 💖💖

[@goomzilla]

That's so cool to hear! :D

[@muxioz7811]

Nice

[@nonnonboybon3941]

Ok

[@RobertFred2011]

That's amazing 👏

[@goomzilla]

When you hold the needle whilst pulling it through the other end of the fabric, put a finger and your thumb over the eye of the needle (you might be able to see me doing it in the video). That way, you provide some friction, so the thread doesn't slip out of the hole really easily. It's a good point, thank you for bringing it up!

[@goomzilla]

I totally agree; I often make lots of failed attempts at the facial features without showing them all on camera! I do try to suggest people spend time getting them right in these videos. Also if you manage to make Yoshi, he'll have reason to think that!

[@goomzilla]

That is a tricky bit. Thanks for letting me know; I'll try to be clearer with this sort of thing in future.

[@goomzilla]

I'm glad the six-part video worked well! I'll be trying some new things this summer, but further into the future I would definitely like to try another long adventure!

[@goomzilla]

For this one, I looked at the Yoshi which I bought (my green one) and made a template based on its pieces. It's a lot easier with the template and instructions presented to you!

[@goomzilla]

The actual cutting and sewing took about 15 hours, but I was trying to work out the best way to do it at the same time (and making mistakes), so I think it would normally take about 10. The video editing took an additional 15 or so, and making voiceover another couple. That's good!

[@spectre.shadows]

I remember I wanted to make this for years as a kid, I came back to it recently and making it in the beginning was time consuming and tedious and difficult, but it got easier as I made it. I never sewed anything else before this lol.

[@goomzilla]

Yeah the nose was the trickiest bit. I thought it looked better this way than the way the Yellow Yoshi had it though. If you like, you could pinch it in by using some thread which goes in and out of the nose from top to bottom.

[@goomzilla]

I'm going to look through all the requests I've had and look for a popular one. I'll go for a simpler one this time since I last did Yoshi and Toad, which are quite complicated.

[@goomzilla]

If you do, you could do this: draw out an edge the same length as the current long nose piece. Then draw a semicircle by placing your compasses at the centre of this line. Cut out a 60 degree wedge in the semicircle, which digs about 2/3 of the way towards the centre of the straight line. I think this should roughly give the piece I used for the yellow Yoshi, before I changed it.

[@goomzilla]

Yep, the next video will be a story involving Wario!

[@coolplush9574]

I made a bossy check my channel out

[@coolplush9574]

It might not be up yet I'm trying to upload it still

[@RpTheReal]

@@coolplush9574 has it uploaded?

[@henryman2451]

I saw him just uploaded it recently, so yes he did upload it.

[@goomzilla]

1) I hoped this template had a fairly round nose? I didn't make the green Yoshi; I used it as a rough guide to make templates for the yellow and blue ones. 2) That is true, it isn't the strongest, but if it's at the seams that usually means the stitching is the problem. Make sure you use a blanket stitch (you can see my Whacka tutorial for details). As for stronger fabric, I'm not too sure but staff at a crafts shop should give advice. Hope this helps :)

[@judydonahue7213]

Make Purple Toad Plush Please?

[@goomzilla]

I'm editing the Toad/Toadette tutorial at the moment, alongside making the next plush video. When I'm close to finishing either of these I'll release an update!

[@goomzilla]

Felt is best from my experience, but if you don't have any then you can use pretty much any fabric.

[@alolanexeggutor1010]

(On a separate account)I watched this about 5 years ago, when I was just looking through KZbin like a kid. I remembered it a few days ago, and now that I like sewing, this is super helpful! Thanks!

[@goomzilla]

In response to the sudden flood of messages about the next video: I'm currently working on the "half"-plush video and the Toad/Toadette tutorial side by side, since the days are really sunny and that's a good time to film a tutorial. But first I'm thinking of posting an update video, possibly showing my face if people are interested?

[@goomzilla]

You could make any pictures into a video (using e.g. Windows Movie Maker) and then post it as a video response! That's the best way for other KZbinrs to find it.

[@goomzilla]

I might, or if I do that sort of thing I might just put it on this channel. I've been meaning to do that for a while but I probably won't get around to it for ages still- I have a lot of other plans!

[@goomzilla]

Yeah Super Mario Wiki agrees, and the video says that too. There's a bit on most of the Yoshi colour pages about "physical appearance", and that's where I got my info.

[@yoshibloxgaming9124]

goomzilla mario.wikia.com

[@goomzilla]

My next plush video will be a single episode, but done kind of differently. I'll probably go back to another series in future because I think it worked well and people enjoy it, but not just yet.

[@snakefang2003]

People don't you just love yoshi?!

[@danielglenn1317]

snakefang200 I do. yoshis are cute.

*Mario ditch Yoshi* um... Sure... Yea

[@dogghogg2018]

Yo folk blank yoshi is better

[@goomzilla]

Within the next couple of weeks, and yes I know what this plush video will be. I'll be making the Toad/Toadette tutorial next and then I'll move on to some others.

[@IonzysStudio]

Started sewing at half two and now have nearly completed the head! Only had to unpick 3 times, make another pair of eyes and find my needle on the floor 5 times! Can't wait to finish! :)

[@goomzilla]

Though I'm now thinking that video responses have stopped, because they seem to have disappeared. For now anyone can send links to videos of plushes they've made in a personal message, and later I might put them together in a playlist or something so people can see them all.

[@MinecraftGamerLR]

Ya know, this is the first KZbin video I've ever seen in my life. Thank you for bringing back my memories, Goomzilla.

[@fionasmith9408]

My 5 year old saw your video. Looks like I am going to the craft store :)

[@Niklas_-ec8zy]

Fiona Stewart And, finished?

[@RareHandle]

Good for you

[@kaitlynanimationz]

The pure nostalgia of coming back to this after years...

[@goomzilla]

I don't know about the specific Yoshi you had, but the template I've given here should help with making one more generally. If you need it to be bigger, you can print it onto bigger paper.

[@goomzilla]

A fair bit! But it's not a problem; it doesn't hurt if you're careful. If you're worried about poking yourself you could try using a thimble, but most people don't find them necessary.

[@goomzilla]

I use felt, but you can go with just about any type of fabric you like.

[@cutieyoshi-o7d]

can you send me a link where you got the felt that you used in this video pls

[@RisingRoslyn]

I want to try this so badly! I've got barely any sewing skills but I dont care how it comes out as long as it resembles a yoshi :D

[@TheNoemino]

i think it is the cutest thing i have ever seen in SO MANY years i wish i could make one (thats what my daughter said) well it is so adorable

[@iceflaretulipflames2313]

I remember I watched this when I was younger. You've inspired me to make homemade plushies.

This is really nostalgic. I may not know how to sew, but it really love watching you sew this Yoshi to life :)

[@steffionofridorner6875]

I very much enjoyed your tutorial, I didn't really think it was going too fast, that's why you can pause it for xD Thank you very much for this video, is very amazing how easy you make it look and how bad I feel like making a yoshi myself right now!! ;D

[@goomzilla]

+Thea Tis Selinis Thanks for mentioning that - I've had comments before, saying I go too fast, though I do intend for people to pause it!

[@WhyAmIHereUAsk]

When I was little I use to enjoy this video so much that it was a movie for me

[@goomzilla]

By looking at the way my green Yoshi was made, and going through a lot of trial and error!

[@davidbonilla5585]

[@diegos2063]

Its a PMS Yoshi Plush dude

[@goldenyoshistar1]

I used this guide many years ago to work together with my Grandmother to help me make my signature Gold Yoshi Plush. It's probably my most precious custom plush next to a few others that I've done with her. i will say the plush is slightly outdated due to how I've updated his color scheme but even so, he is probably the one plush I'm the most proud of.

[@goomzilla]

That's cool, glad you made such a monumental plush from this tutorial!

[@goomzilla]

If it's a fabric then it will do!

[@EricMcNugget]

These would go perfectly well in a collection including the Yarn Yoshi amiibos!

[@goomzilla]

Not in the most recent games at least- check Super Mario Wiki.

[@goomzilla]

You mean you want to make a template for a new plush, not Yoshi or anything? Making templates is the most difficult part, but if you let me know what you're making I can try to give some general tips.

[@epicvideosedge1]

i started to make a yoshi when you uploaded this video, but i then forgot about it. but i finaly finished it yesterday

[@Superkidra]

KZbin broke the reply format, but 7 years ago, you responded to my question and I still appreciate it :)

No problem, have a fresh reply in the new format!

Merci beaucoup! Yeah it's automatically translated by Google, so it won't be perfect, but it's comprehensible overall :)

[@dragonblue2269]

It’s 2024 now… dude, this was my childhood

[@bladerootes249]

This is super adorable... I wish my sewing skills were slightly better so I could make this for my boyfriend... I know he likes Mario, and I'm sure he'd like Yoshi since he liked cute things... But my skills just aren't good enough... Anyways, thank you very much for making this tutorial, I'm sure I'll be able to try this soon... However, I'm not going to use the same kind of fabric or felt that you do... Do you think that it would be okay with using Jean like fabric? (Trousers) I can't buy much fabric because I'm running low on money...

[@goomzilla]

That should work, but it's not ideal- it won't be very soft as a plush and could be quite difficult to sew with by hand. Old T-shirts would work better than trousers. On the other hand, it would be very tough!

[@bladerootes249]

goomzilla I see. Thank you for your input on this. I'll be trying this very soon, I have some felt now, I got some for an early birthday gift. I'll be printing the template and trying to sew this once I'm done with my first project. Anyways, thank you very much, Goomzilla.

[@fabby2998]

I want to say that I'm french and the subtitles are really good but sometimes it mess up but that's not a problem for me. I made the yellow star, two Whackas, three mushrooms (the red one, the 1-up, and the poison one) and the Goomba! You are awesome and you got a french subscriber!

[@goomzilla]

I meant it's difficult to draw it out knowing just the measurements for each piece, because of the odd shapes.

[@arturtlerodreal]

Great vid. It took us a while. Us being my siblings and me to make this thing together. There were ups and downs but in the end, it all turned out well thank you for making this a memory that we will cherish.

OMG! This is amazing!!! You're a genius, dude!!! :p

[@loiskrieger7987]

I made one! Thanks so much Goomzilla! Mine was orange, he turned out wonderful! I love him so much and he is a great addition to my plush collection! Thanks again! :)

[@goomzilla]

No, most of them are bought- the only ones I made are the ones which have tutorials, along with Toadette. I didn't make the green Yoshi in this video either; he was just my guide for making the others.

[@goomzilla]

The talking is added in afterwards, using a computer microphone and the program Audacity. I record with a Blue Yeti mic nowadays but it's pretty expensive, a cheap $10-ish headset with mic would do the job. And I live in the UK!

[@Zapachu1000]
