Advice for Plush Making and General plushie love!

[Bellona27 42]

Hi y'all! So I have no idea where to post these so I guess I'll try here XD. I've recently gotten in to plushie making and I feel like if I go around asking people who sell their art for hundreds of dollars for tips that they would either feel insulted or be like ummmm figure it out...so I figured I would see if anyone has any advice here! I have a little baby sewing machine and an embroidery machine in my "craft cave" and I'm trying to read all I can to learn to best utilize them. But no matter how much I read I feel like I keep making rookie mistakes ^^; I have a few completed little plushies I've made by working and reworking some original patterns I've made and I'll share them below! I have a few purchased patterns which work great, but I want to make plushies that are more cuddly and snuggly and I feel most patterns out there are for display plushies...which are wonderful, but I just wanna love and squeeze and snuggle a fluffy soft cutie pie! And I at least imagine I'm not alone XD Now I have seen and purchased little beanies and they are wonderful but as an adult sized humanoid person they are seriously lacking in the huggable department...like I'm talking squishables peeps. So now that I've gone and made a mess, here's the gist XD

 

I would like to have my work critiqued and I would also like to know if anyone has any huggable sized plushies and patterns!

 

 

Here's my little foray into the plush making world:

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the first one I ever tried to make XD it went....so-so

 

 

 

In addition to some of my own designs and patterns a few embroidery files above are from the incredibly talented Bakufoon!

 

 

Also I have no idea why the pictures turned upside down....they're not on my tablet XD

The mini lying plushes tend to work better with some pellet beanies. Have you tried that?

Yeah lol these are filled with poly pellets ^^ the little pink one was fluffy stuffing and she has a tendency to fall over because her head isn't weighed down by anything XD

And thank you so much! That means a lot to me
