They’re done! I finished the Lords in Black set. I love them so much. I just need to make a Webby—I’m wondering if I want her to have black eyes? Gray? Red? Eye shadow, or not? I’ll probably use CholyKnight’s spider eye embroidery for her face. These guys are all built from a modified CholyKnight bunny pattern.

I just want to thank Starkid for making such cool characters! The power of Wiggly is so great, I taught myself so much sewing in these last ten months, just to have a Wiggly doll.

More photos below

Nibbly was the last Lord in Black to make, I made his teeth embroidery and then his lips are hand stitched on after. It was such a pain, but I love the effect. I wish I’d had a more neon pink, but I don’t mind it too much.

I found a pair of goggles for Tinky, and honestly, by sheer luck, his eyes were perfectly spaced to even wear them.

And as a bonus, Wiggly without his crown.

Ten months’ difference

I'm sitting here almost crying because I've been looking for some starter patterns and tutorials to learn how to create my own plush stuff, and found this website https://cholyknight.com/

This person has the best tutorials I've ever seen. No stupid videos, just text, illustrations, photos and little infographics explaining things as they go along. They've been plugging away forever, putting out both free and paid content since the mid-2000s and I would never have found them if not for some stupid aggregate website listing dinosaur patterns. Like, SEO is screwing them raw.

They have written literal books about how to sew, and are giving them away free, with no nag screens, no "sign up and you can get this pattern" data leeching, nothing. Just giving it away. I paid like $25 a couple years ago for a beginning sewing book so I could just have something in a format that I could understand, and honestly, her free resources are just as good if not better than the book I bought.

Not only that, check out the faq for info on how she lets folks use her patterns. It's actually amazing, how free she is with them. The only thing you have to do is not sell them as your own patterns, you can sell the plush you make from them. It is the barest, simplest thing anyone could ever ask for in return, and I swear I have a knife for whoever doesn't follow those simple directions.

I'm so used to people being cagey and rude online that when I see someone who literally is mostly just giving back to others I'm like...???? What's the catch? Do these pdfs have viruses? Like, I know making fandom plush patterns is deffo what's getting her attention and keeping her lights on when people buy other things, but like fuck.

I'm so excited to finally share this project of mine! My BFFL really loves this Minecraft series on YouTube called Fable SMP. So, while thinking ahead for the holiday presents, I sketched a plush of @sherbertquake56 character Icarus. (If you can't tell, I know almost nothing about this, lol. I'm about halfway through season 1 currently.) I used a lot of fan art and cosplay photos for reference (big thanks for the wiki and Sherbert's insta bc I would've been so lost on trying 2 figure out any of the details of this lol) and decided to actually sew this after a day of debating it.

A little breakdown of this project: all patterns are from Choly Knight/ Sew Desu Ne? I mixed and matched the Chibi Human Doll Plush pattern, Doll Clothing Essentials pattern, Human Eyes Digital Embroidery pattern, and Dragon Eyes #10 Digital Embroidery pattern. I used Minky fabric for the hair and the skin (I was gonna paint on the eye blood, but I wasn't sure if the fabric paint would bleed into the minky uncontrollably, and I only had enough fabric for the actual plush. I'm sorry for the inaccuracy.) The pants shirt and jacket are made from some fat quarters I picked up from my local fabric store. The necklace is made from mini potion bottles, paint, and a bracelet chain I found in my crafting bins. The mini pins are from Aliam x Vitam on Etsy. The bracelet I made from some leftover rainbow loom (omg that's a throwback to like what 2014? lol), and the Goggles (which I forgot 2 photograph, oops) is made from a digital embroidery applique file from the Dragon Eyes #10 Digital Embroidery pattern, felt for the lenses, and scrap purple fabric with fraying lock around the ends. I also didn't have time to figure out how to pierce a doll's ears, so that was a detail I had to skip, unfortunately.

This has been the most fun project I've ever worked on so far. I love sewing, and I just got into sewing plushes, so I hope I did this justice, lol. Let me know what characters or anything else I should sew next. Hopefully, when my semester finishes I can watch the rest of Fable so I can actually understand everything I just made and what I maybe missed, lol. If anyone wants the links to anything I used to make this plush just let me know

I've shared these on my Instagram, but I also wanna share them here b/c I'm pretty proud of my plushies and I spent a lot of time on them at the end of last year! More pictures of the details n words below the cut!!!

Okay last one promise! This was for a friend, but also a good test of Cholyknight's chibi doll patterns for myself! (That one costs money but it's well worth it!!!) The embroidery for the face came out really good!!! I think the ears were initially bigger than I intended and I was at a point where I couldn't undo them, but it worked out really well in the end! A lot of the base clothes and hair all came with the patterns, but I adjusted the mohawk to fit his face better, using a darker grey to show it was shaved, and I tried to detail his shoes a little more to look like sneakers. The horns I took an existing horn pattern and adjusted it to be Mallek's, though the piercings I struggled for a time before settling on stitched pieces of fabric. The piercings above the eye on the brow are hand down embroidery, which works well enough!

I'm actually super proud of the hoodie; the symbol is embroidered!!!! I made it into an embroidery design and did that myself!!!! With like, a free to use program but STILL!!! And then the hood can go on his head bc there's holes for horns!!! Actually incredibly tricky for a first attempt of that hood, but I got it!!! Also all the clothes? Easy to slip on and off! Though maybe I should've sewn the shoes in bc they fall a little too easy… but my friend really likes it so that's what counts ❤

Also it's also completely made of fleece! Minus the lining in the hood of course; since it's fleece though, there's no shirt under the hoodie bc it wouldn't fit right, but I sewed in a little bit of blue to give the illusion of a shirt xD

I've recently taken an interest in plush-making! I was obsessed with the idea of making a cute little Yoyo for @twinkens-art as a gift this year, and I'm amazed it all came together! 💚 His hood doesn't quite fit, but I was more focused on putting twinken's spiky hair design for him on display! (also no skates because I was not ready to tackle that just yet 😅)

This was made using base patterns from CholyKnight! Def go check out her stuff if you want to get into sewing plushies!
