Has a small hole in a piece of clothing: I sleep 😔
Plush comes in the mail with some (possibly) fixable inaccuracies (though some are not fixable, or at least not by me): ...WhEre... Is mY SeAm RiPper (idk why I focused on that of all things, outside I wasn't sure where I'd placed it and it being new.)
I knew ordering from Amazon and not looking too hard for another seller was a gamble going in though. Could have been worse.
I didn't really take in-progess shots but i do have some comparison pics.
As you can see, the pattern is off and the lower part of her crest is missing. Also funky body portions, barely a tail. She came in a, um, air vacuumed bag so I had to attempt to fluff her several times.
Can't really do too much with the embroidery, but thankfully her crest wasn't just not there!
But before that, something a bit simpler, her neck was a bit...long on side view for my liking. Despite my supplies I'm very much an amateur who rarely sews and hasn't actually practiced the type of stitch I was using: at first I did pretty good, but then somehow reversed it...well at least the fabric kind of hides it irl.
At the same time I also put in a few stitches to straighten the angle of her beak, though it's not really visible here.
The legs look different because originally I moved a leg due to her original portions but decided to do other stuff before doing the other--thankfully. Turns out after a few more fluffing sessions and modifications, the original position was best! ...I couldn't get it quite the place it was originally between being tired and the stitching blending, etc.
...Yeah, there was a lot less in that little nub of disturbed fabric than I hoped, but at least it was there. Unlike elsewhere, the black had some kinda white layering on it that made it a bit difficult to sew, so there was some sticking out in the end after attempts to cover it. At least it added some structure.
Speaking of difficult to stitch, I attempted to do some embroidery around the eyes and crest since I don't have matching fabric...but the toughness, the short stitches, and the fuzzy fabric did me no favors.
Last major thing that did that could be seen already in the last pic: I fluffed her more and pinched in her back a bit to change her shape a bit.
Not sure yet if I'm going to try to find a way to fix up the embroidery attempt or make bigger changes, I don't have matching fuzzy fabric.
For now, I'm just happy with the chibi-ish look she's achieved and she can (sometimes) sit up on her own!
