Custom Plush Pattern Making

Do you have an idea or even a drawing, and you want to turn it into plush?

Do you know how to sew, but can't seem to wrap your brain around how to make that 2D drawing into a pattern for a 3D plush?

I am gifted with a brain that translates 2D to 3D well, especially after years of studying dolls, plush and patterns.

I will create for you a PATTERN for you to create your creation in fabric

 Pricing STARTS at $50 on Etsy, some additional charges may apply, read the full requirements HERE



Here is an OLD example from 2004. My young cousin filled a couple of pages with drawings of aliens. I took those pages home and created this Alien and his spaceship for my cousin. I wonder if he still has it?

The spaceship's vinyl top buttoned on in case it needed to go into the wash. It is supported by cable ties in the solid sections, helping it to keep it's shape. Two zippers on one section allow access to the cockpit.

 


















The pilot's chair swivels on a doll joint and has elastic straps to hold the pilot in place.

Once again you can start the process of having your design become a hugable plush animal or doll by checking out this listing on Etsy

Etsy Monday Reminder

This is the last week of September, we are getting the hang of being back in school, the weather is cooled down to the point where the laundry on the line isn't 100% dry at the end of the day. We are thinking about Halloween and what costumes we want to make for it, maybe like me, you have already started on it! Just over the horizon is Christmas, and I know some of you are already thinking and creating for that!

Today's Etsy Monday is a reminder. Remember this post where I promised all my Etsy sales to Sarah Lorraine of Mode Historique research into the "chemise a la reine"?

Just the other day I did donate my Etsy sales from the past few months, which were quite small.

I will continue donating my sales through the month of October, I hope the donatation I make on November 1st will match, if not exceed that I made for the last 2 months.

Remember I have a coupon code
CHEMISEALAREINE will get you 20% off!  Ends October 31st.

 New items are finished and waiting to be listed, a few more need to be finished up.

Etsy Monday 9-17-12

Today's Etsy Monday post is a special sale on a complete set of vintage sewing technique books from the 70's

Well actually the books were originally printed in the 40's so the interior illustrations are from that era!

If you are interested in Vintage sewing, these books would be a lovely addition to your collection.

Simplified Systems of Sewing and Styling 1948 26th Edition 1970

 Until October first you can get the complete set for only $8 plus $4 shipping! If you take a look at other offerings for this title on Etsy you will see that complete sets run for quite a bit.

Etsy Monday #1

So I decided to post an Etsy post every mondya, be it a new listing or a special offer.
I also decided to make the Special Offers last 2 weeks instead of 1.

I am working on some items for the Etsy shop, so expect to see a new listing soon.

Today I sat down and went through my vintage patterns, they make up the bulk of my etys listings, after all. I found several that were the same size!

So for the very first Etsy Monday Special, select 3 of 5 1970's SIZE 12 BUST 34" patterns for one low price of $12!

If you were to have purchased 3 of these patterns at the normal listing prices, it would have cost $20 to $26.

This listing will expire on Monday September 17, 2012

One of these patterns (McCalls 2279) has an adorable tissue paper advertisement for Reproduction Fashion plates from Godey's Magazine.
