How to make plush: Draft new patterns for a stuffed plushie

[@westleycary5557]

Thank you for the knowledge! So many makers hold the design process hostage. As if they want to "corner the market" on pattern creation. It's really bad in the leather community!

I'm glad to be of help! I have a TON more videos to upload with "trade secrets" to share for free :)

Love seeing you on KZbin more! Glad you have more time now to do things like this 🥰💕

[@TeacupLion]

New to your channel... And watching all the videos and learning..thank you very much

[@unkinderpine0918]

Question (if you dont mind sharing): how do you know what shapes to cut for a new plush if youre starting from scratch? Do you make a small clay model and tape it up and cut out those pieces and scale it up? Or is there some kind of software that can do that for you when you model it? Is it just something you learn over time?

[@TeacupLion]

Pattern drafting is an entirely new skill that takes both learning and practice. A great place for resources is the facebook group Plush Artists United. They have some links in the docs section about every aspect of plush making, including how to make patterns

This is amazing!

[@attibar5548]

Thank you so much! One question I still have though: what do you do if the part of the plushie you're tracing uses a dart?

[@TeacupLion]

Sew the dart first

[@code_howling1504]

Thank you for this! can i ask, when you're tracing out the patterns how would you know if there is a dart, or will the traced pattern already include the dart?

[@TeacupLion]

On my patterns they are marked accordingly :3

That's an awesome idea with tissue paper luv it 🤫🤐💩💩😸🐒

[@Bob-yk9wo]

Is there a way to get indents out of plushies specifically at round parts

[@TeacupLion]

You'll have to create a seam or a dart. On a stuffed plush you can ladderstitch it smoother

[@Bob-yk9wo]

@@TeacupLion do you have any videos on how to do that

[@blade987]

What type of paper do you use for making the final design

[@TeacupLion]

Regular paper

[@balkanio3383]

i saw the same plushie on etsy but does the plush come in fully made or with materials and instructions?

[@TeacupLion]

This is a digital pattern only

[@TeacupLion]

The pattern does include instructions :)

[@balkanio3383]
