Here's an update to the reversible plushie tutorial! I loved seeing all the designs you made over the past few months and decided to come up with some new techniques. This DIY shows you how to make ears for double plushies as well as a neater way of sewing the bottom. I did find this method a bit trickier to stuff since there's no glue holding the stuffing in place. This meant doing a bit more adjusting when flipping the plush but I was still pleased with how it turned out. If I had to remake this, I'd definitely try using fluffy socks and making smaller ears.

[@izzyfennec]

AH this is so amazing! I remember the first flip plushie you did- and I instantly fell in love with it! I’m so glad you are making throwback tutorials like this, it’s truly a joy to see how you’ve improved but also still love doing! Never stop doing what you love, your creations are wonderful and your personality is even better! Thank you for spreading such a great influence to children and young adults!

[@maqaroon]

Aww thank you for this lovely comment ❤️❤️❤️. I'm really enjoying YT at the moment since it almost feels like when I first started in 2014-15. The pressure to constantly make videos based on trends, collabs or sponsorships is gone and I can focus on creating tutorials at my own pace.

I have a easier method fill up the sock 1st and get the other one and put it inside and sew it and the design is a simple egg on the other side and on the other is a simple egg shape animal like cat dog pig

[@via3600]

A helpful tip from someone who makes a ton of plushes :0 ! If you’re using templates, I highly suggest you cut out the felt before sewing it, without drawing on the fabric ! It makes it so no marker is seen at the seams and instantly makes it look for professional! I hope this helps :D Have a great day 💜✨

She is so creative

I really appreciate your extensive library of these types of crafts. I love referencing them in case I need an idea for a gift for a friend or my son 🥰

[@maqaroon]

Thank you! I'm amazed myself how many of these tutorials have accumulated over the years 😂. I actually started out making sock plushies because I wasn't good at sewing so I couldn't make plushies that involve pattern cutting. However these have evolved into an entire genre of their own and once you get the hang of it, it's so fun to make!

[@pantelimaxo7294]

@@maqaroon yes!!! I tried the black kitty tutorial years ago, also the pink paper clay cat macaron. You make some of the best tutorials out there! You make it so easy to follow along, what with using different colored thread, steady movements, and a calm voice. Thank you thank you for giving me many years of inspiration!

thanks! I have just made one for teachers day! my teacher loves it!

[@Ali626AMM]

If you tuck in the raw edges of both socks and bring the folds together then you can use a whip stitch, or even use a tiny ladder stitch, to close the bottom. That would completely hide the raw edges. It's the same principle as closing a hole left for turning or stuffing in a regular plushie. Hope that helps some one. I make plushies all the time. These are really so very cute.

[@angelacole9664]

❤❤ so cute! I love the koala's floppy ears ❤❤

[@niachomakovska35]

I made this from your last tutorial with 3 plushies ^.^ It's a little cramped but it sure worked. Great video!

OMG SO CUTE! I will definitely make this😅! Yay im early! One minute ago!!!

[@Skungz]

Not me,:(:(:(:(:(:

[@lyricwritertoo]

Oh i see you have an update. Just as cute. You could just make the hole in the end f the blue one, stuff all the way down to the other one packing at sides. Sew and draw end hole up tight. You could make it off center so an ear covers it or something else. Push the blue side back inside of the other one poking it into center. Maybe. I haven’t tried any yet. Just love this reversible idea!

[@fantasieanime]

Just a thought for the raw edge hiding method, you could make the plushie the original way, (right sides out and all), and simply fold in the raw edges , pin to hold everything in place, and then tightly (as in tiny distance between each stitch) ladder stitch around. It would make for an invisibly stitched seam.

[@alfieaglobo1559]

Make more plush tutorials please I love them

[@lililucena22]

Woah, the reversible plushie was made 4 years ago? How long have I been watching your channel? It had already been long at the other video

[@meh825]

Handy tip: you can do blind stitch to hide your seams. Looks better than an exposed running stitch in my opinion

[@katerinamarikova7179]

[@rumtumtuggerstanmachine841]

You could always just do the first method and ladder stitch the bottom raw edges together! That way the stuffing stays all neat and in-place, but you still get the neat, finished, edge!
