{HOW TO MAKE FURBY OVERALLS}
(((Also the text is colorcoded to the first Patten.)))
Warning: overalls don’t come off at all or they don’t come off with ease.
Mostly for 1998 furbys and the smaller furby babies i don’t think this will work for a 2005 but idk
Ok so first you’re gonna need a couple of things:
your fabric of choice, buttons, sewing pins, high temp hot glue gun (optional if you wish to you may sew the straps instead but I was lazy and used glue), sissors, needle and thread, a crayon pencil or marker, something to measure things like some ribbon, and paper.
First we must make the pattern for main part of the overalls. It’s basically a bowl that goes on your furby minus their feet.
Piece 1:
You take a piece of paper and place your furby that you wish to make the clothes for onto the paper. Outline the whole bottom of the furby stopping at their feet so you have two spaces for their feet and a part in the middle of the feet holes, you can take your furby off the paper now. Next draw another circle around that circle ×this will be the part that goes around their body!!× as high as you wish it to go on your furby make it a little taller than you want cause it may shrink a little make sure to exclude the feet part here too!! Then close the first circle but not the second one. Now add a third circle excluding the feet part make it a little tall but not much, it will be the excess fabric to make sure you get a good clean seam on your overalls.
Make sure this will work well with your furby so you don’t make it too short and have to remake it!
The pattern should look like this with your added lengths:
You have now completed the bottom and side pattern for the overalls!
Next step: making the front part aka piece 2
To make the front you first draw a shape like this:
and guess how big it needs to be. Next cut it out and check the size of it on your furby to see if it’s too big or small and resize until you’re happy with it and add excess around it as well.
You have now completed with the paper templates you need.
Now trace them onto the fabric you chose (including all three circles on the first pattern) and cut them out (do NOT cut the first pattern into multiple pieces. it is one piece as a whole)
You may also make a optional pocket and I’m sure you know how to make a pocket so you know how to do the pocket steps.
Now the straps should be made after you’ve finished sewing everything else so we’ll leave them till the end.
Now it is time for sewing.
First we will sew the excess down. Lay the excess on top on the fabric that will be on the inside of the clothes not the outside and pin it down. You should see that it’s clean at the top now. You will see when you fold that the fabric has a part that slowly disappears so you can’t sew it. Cut it on the excess part only. And make both pieces level with each other. And pin the piece. You will have to repeat this several times till you make it to the end of the other side.
When you’re done pinning it is time to sew. while you’re sewing the piece make sure to remove the pins as you go when you’re done sewing the excess you are done with that part for now.
Next step:
Now pin and sew the excess on piece 2. you most likely won’t have to cut anything during this step.
You have completed sewing all excess pieces
Next step:
Take piece 2 and pin it into place on the front part of piece 1. Make sure it looks goods and ajust it till you like it and keep it pinned. Sew the two pieces together.
Next step:
Take your furby and place it onto the fabric. Pull up the front and side pieces and pin the end of the side pieces to the ends of the front piece. (You will have to do some sewing while it’s on your furby so be careful) sew the pieces together.
You have now completed the bottom portion of the overalls.
Now you should look at your look at the sides and see if anything is baggy or sticking out weird. If you see some fold, pin, and sew it down to tighten and fix the overalls. After you’re happy with the bottom it’ll be time for the straps.
First take the ribbon or whatever you chose to measure with and measure it so that they reach from the corner of front part the the back of the overalls semi-tightly and make sure to cross the ribbon so that you get the crossed back effect. Cut the ribbon and outline it onto your fabric. Give it excess as well. After cutting them out fold the two sides inwards on the strap pieces and glue or sew them into place that should make your straps edges clean and such. Now take them and pin them onto the front of the front piece and cross them on the back and pin into the inside of the back part. Now sew them on and on the front part when you’re halfway through sew a button on the front on top of the strap and do so for the other one. The back ones don’t get buttons.
✨✨YOU HAVE NOW COMPLETED YOUR FURBY OVERALLS✨✨
Sorry it’s so long and sorry if I missed any steps. I hope this can help the best it can.
