#moko nui

[mo49ko]

Finished making his fur coat!! 🖤🤍

It turned out so perfect, dont you think?

Since the nui size is small the coat was a bit thick with the lining and I wanted it to close properly, so I added these little clips inside of it so it can clip onto his vest... because not taking care of your appearance is 𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝒷𝒶𝒹 after all !! (cv: crewnui)

Sewing each stripe one at the time took so long lol... But sensei has to wear nuis st-laurent !!

i wanted to finish him by his birthday but he took too long to do his makeup. the hair came out so good like i wanted !! next i'll use that fabric in the bg to make his fur coat ～

Little xavier nui is born !! 🌟🛸

I made him for my friend bc he is her favourite character !! i think he turned out sooooo cute and sweetie 🩷🩵 our goal is to bring little starfish nuis to eat sweets and have fun

each one took maybe one week and a half to make. its my first time to make the bangs with no embroidery but i think making the fabric doubled makes the lines really sharp and nice!! the glue is a bit thick which makes it hard to sew but its sooo sturdy and doesnt feel like it would come off so i like it.

these little ones are nakey right now, but my other friend is making clothes and sweaters for them heehee...

so bored so is time to make nuis again

[mo49ko]

hi! i love your nui fengqing, and was hoping to make some of my own!

i had some questions though: what kind of fabric did you use for it and did you have any templates for the face embroidery?

the face designs seem like the hardest part to me, and i also really loved how you designed yours!

hello!! im glad that you love my nuis 🩷

here is what i used.

💜 fabric

it's called 「ソフトボア (soft boa)」 in japanese and people told me it's called "minky" in english, but i don't know if its exactly the same thing since i never bought minky. maybe some of you might know?

soft boa comes in different "hair lengths" that you can choose to make each part (ex. the hair) fluffier. for example, the skin fabric is "1mm soft boa" while the hair of fengqing nuis is "5mm soft boa". Some people use 1mm soft boa for everything (ex. if your nui is really small).

for the skin fabric, i used this brand (ぬいクロスボア) which you can buy on Rakuten or at Animate.

for the hair, i bought from Little Closet but you need a credit card or paypal acct issued in Japan to buy.

my friend in europe buys something similar from this shop on Aliexpress and said the quality was good too.

if you buy minky, make sure that its not too thick, because you need to layer it at some parts and it might be difficult to sew if it's too thick. also, it should not be stretchy, as your nui might deform. this is what soft boa looks like from up close. if you are not sure, i recommend just buying the soft boa from above, since they are made specifically for nui-making.

💙for embroidery

I drew the face embroidery designs myself by using a template from a book. unfortunately, I cannot share the template because it is paid content.

however, there's a lot of free nui sewing patterns online, so you can draw your own embroidery lines by using them as a reference to make sure they will be placed properly.

the template i used is from 「もっとかわいくできる! 推しぬい 理想の「お顔」「髪型」つくりかたBOOK」 which you can buy on Rakuten or Amazon japan.

this book also has tips on how to design a cute face and hair for your nui !!

if you don't know japanese, the author has a video on youtube showing how to sew along and do the embroidery which is subbed in english (link).

she also has some face embroidery tutorials (1) (2)
