I’m back with another crochet pattern! For you stitchers out there I made a 3rd little sea creature for our jellyfish and octopus friends 🙂 These squids have the classic pointed head with two little side fins (done with half-double and double crochet). Six little small tentacles and two large tentacles finish off the bottom. The pattern contains templates for stitching on angry or happy faces plus cute contrast spots, but you could use safety eyes as well.
And just like the other crochet patterns so far, you can make this with just about 100 yards of yarn. I used DK personally, but bulky yarn looks great too. It really is a catch-all kind of design because it looks good in just about any color. It’s a great use for leftovers — I used up a ton of mine this way ♥. The instructions contain both an illustrated chart and written instructions in case you prefer to follow one over the other.
Hi everyone!
I hope you enjoy this new free pattern I whipped up! I had a few requests for a red panda, and what pushed me over the edge was Sanrio’s new Netflix show, Aggretsuko ❤ About a sweet 20-something office lady red panda who vents her frustrations by singing death metal karaoke. I absolutely adored it and had to make a red panda.
As a change of pace, I thought I’d try to make this pattern a little easier, so it has a simpler body that I’d rate a 2/10. I did want to sink my teeth into some part of it, so I had a lot of fun making a big colorful striped tail. That part has a lot of curved sewing, but I think it’s pretty straightforward. So it might be good practice for someone that hasn’t done much curved sewing yet.
You can sew all the features with fusible web applique or using the embroidery files I’ve included below. The face needs at least a 5” x 7” hoop. All of the white face markings are done in applique to keep them nice and fuzzy ❤ I hope you all like it!
Hey everyone!
For those of you with embroidery machines, I’m slowly but surely adding more files for my paid patterns for sale 😀 For this next update I thought I should tackle my most popular patterns – the ones in my Fairy Tale Collection. That includes the Laying Dragon, Sitting Dragon, Peryton, Unicorn/Pegasus, Phoenix, and Griffin.
Just like with my other files so far, these bundles include the embroidery to use specifically with the partner pattern along with instructions. And they include standalone eye files in 7 sizes that you can use them with other projects. They’re also useful if you only have a 4” x 4” embroidery hoop and want to embroider the eyes separately. The main point is you don’t have to buy the pattern to use the embroidery and vice versa ❤
The files are bundled together at a discount just like the sewing patterns 😀 And all the files are 50% off for this weekend, so you have your pick! In addition, the partner patterns are 30% off so you can buy them together if this is your first time seeing them. I hope these new files help with your plush-making!
I’m back with another crochet pattern! For you stitchers out there I did a variation on the octopus pattern to give him a little friend 🙂 These jellyfishes have the octopus body with added frills and curly tentacles. As an extra accessory, you can make them bows or a fun little flower!
Just like the octopus, it can be made with about 100 yds. Of DK or light worsted yarn. Or you could size up to bulky yarn for a larger plush. And like the octopus, it has both charts and written instructions.
I hope you all enjoy it!
Hi everyone!
I’ve got another Ghibli pattern in tow! I can’t believe how many I’ve done so far ❤ But there was huge support for this one over the past year. It was even more fun to design and make than I anticipated 😀 The big bus body with loads of little legs are just so silly and awesome; I hope you all enjoy my take on it!
I’ve rated it a 4/10 since the head is sewn on a little differently and all the legs can be tricky. But besides that it’s a lot of basic geometry to handle the bus body, so it might feel more like a 3 for you depending on what you’re comfortable with.
You can sew all the features with fusible web applique or using the embroidery files I’ve included. The face needs at least a 5” x 7” hoop as well as the body sides. However, the back of the plush, which has the tiny bus sign, only needs a 4” x 4” hoop. For fun I did the embroidered version in Tim Burton’s Cheshire Cat colors ❤ complete with glow-in-the-dark eyes. I hope you all enjoy it!
Hello everyone!
I’ve got a new pattern that I’ve recently added to my Etsy shop 😀
I’ve had a lot of requests for a plush backpack, so with con season coming in strong and back-to-school after that, I finally took my first crack at it! It was quite involved to make, but lots of fun, so I hope you all like what you see! The templates cover how to make a classic fox, cat, or rabbit. The ears and tails are really cute and detailed so you’re sure to make an interesting character no matter what animal you go with. The bodies are designed so they look like they’re clinging to your back and looking off to the side.
Like most plush backpacks, the storage size inside isn’t huge, but I optimized the shapes the best I could to get the most storage possible 😀 The plush comes in two sizes and each has a pocket that is held closed with a zipper on the belly. The small has a 5½” x 8½” pocket — enough to hold a phone and a few essentials (like keys and a wallet). It would work great as a purse or a child’s backpack. While the large has an 8” x 12” pocket – enough to hold a standard tablet! The large plush clocks in at about 23” long, so it’s quite the statement piece ❤ It would be great for a convention or making some very impressive commissions. You can see them in action on my Instagram here: Large size & small size.
It’s a slightly harder pattern, since it combines all the difficulties of making plush and a backpack, but the instructions are extra detailed and chock-full of information to help alleviate any issues 🙂 Just know that it will take longer because it is so large.
One thing that might help is this pattern has some accompanying embroidery files you can purchase! Both the paw and eye designs are available to buy. The design pack comes with a files suited specifically for the backpack and also standalone files that you can use for other plushies should you choose. The ones meant specifically for the backpack all fit within a 4″ x 4″ embroidery hoop too 😀
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to put in a quick word to mention Etsy’s birthday sale this week! It runs from the 18th to the 22nd, and Etsy sellers can choose to participate or not. So you might want to check any favorite sellers of yours to see if they’re also having a sale!
As for me, my whole shop is 10% off! And all of my dragon items are 20% off! That’s to celebrate my first embroidery design for sale ❤
I wanted to keep things super simple when starting to sell embroidery, so the first file I have available is for my Chibi Dragon pattern. But the bonus is you can use it for any other project you want! When you purchase the design, it comes with files both meant to work specifically with the Chibi Dragon (with pattern guidelines and instructions), but also a set of 6 sizes that are just the eyes and nostril slits. With 6 sizes to choose from you can use them for any other dragon projects (or monsters, or whatever have you!). And they’re all under 99mm so they’re sure to fit 4″ x 4″ embroidery hoops.
So in the end, you don’t need the Chibi Dragon pattern to use the embroidery and vice versa 🙂 For this sale week the new embroidery will be 50% off! And more embroidery files are definitely coming in the future ♥ I just wanted to start small for the first one.
I hope you all enjoy! And thank you ♥
