It's been such a long time since I've made a personal project completely from scratch. For the past 3 years, I've been wanting to reduce my fabric stash but wanted to avoid selling it all off. Last year. I was determined to make some sort of projects to help eat away at the stash, but with little to no time, I figured the best route would be simple little plushies that can be completed mostly in my embroidery machine. I started doodling and pushing out concept art but still had no time. February of this year, I sat down late one night taking one of my ideas for a simple bear plush and made my first prototype: the little lavender colored bear in the last slide. I LOVED the idea and ran with it... for two days before I was swamped with other projects. In June I revisited the pattern and made small edits and made the little pink one... and forgot about the project completely. Over the last two weeks, over "quiet time" I made major edits to get the pattern the way I wanted. And I'm over the moon. 😊 I don't know what direction I want to take these little ones, but using up fabrics and supplies that have been sitting for almost 7 years (some a few years newer) is so refreshing. 💕💕💕 I had a good chuckle at the little frog, because it looks so much like Lily from AC, the lily pad hat doesn't help! 😂 I really dont want to take commissions on these, but if there is interest, I'll just make them over my free time and sell them as FC;FS. Again, I dont know what direction I want to go, so it's all up in the air.
