A dose of cuteness for your Friday!! This is my first Charmander plush and I'm incredibly happy with him. I didn't have any sort of pattern for this one so I drafted my own, made a prototype, ironed out some faults and began on the real thing. Because of that, and because I hand-embroidered the eyes, this is currently the plushie that has taken the longest amount of time to complete. Something in the region of 30+ hours. Each eye alone took 4 hours :S But totally worth it! Even now he isn't finished. I need to do a flame for his tail but I couldn't resist showing you him all before the weekend xD He's made from super soft cuddly minky, entirely hand-stitched and the eyes were done with normal embroidering floss. Hope you like him!
I need to work on the pattern more before I think about a tutorial. I understand your frustration though! I made my own pattern because I just couldnt find one anywhere on the internet that I liked.
oh my gosh, chelle! this is the cutest thing ever. those eight hours on the eyes were worth it! he's brilliant. i can't wait to see him with a little flame. :3
