Hi everyone! And Happy Holidays!
I’m running an End of Year sale to finish out 2024! So for anyone that prefers to do their shopping after Christmas, everything is at least 25% off from now through January 1st! Plush everything I produced in 2024 will be 35% off!
But for those that already have everything, I also have a new pattern for sale!
A mimic was near the top of the poll as I got to work brainstorming, so hopefully fans of Dungeons and Dragons (or just RPGs in general) might recognize this creature! For those uninitiated, mimics are shapeshifting monsters that usually take the form of a treasure chest to bait unsuspecting adventurers! That meant while I designed a fun and scary chest-shaped plush I just had to do a pouch version, right?
So this pattern takes you through making a chest-shaped plush with added creepy tongue and teeth. Or you can construct a zipper pouch that have the teeth and tongue inside and make for an impressive reveal when you unzip it! You have your option of a silly face with rounded teeth and tongue, or a scary face with sharp teeth and tongue. The pouch tongues are super long, so I added the optional challenge of a tongue pocket! It would be great as a dice jail or for holding a hidden message!
If you sew by hand or regular sewing machine, you can create the all the chest details and facial features with fusible web applique. The instructions include everything you need for that. Or if you have an embroidery machine, you’ll find there are embroidery files included as well. Some adjustments had to be made to make the files 4×4 friendly, but you can still make a cute mimic with them.
Thank you everyone for an amazing 2024 and for all your support and love! I couldn’t be making all these fun designs without your input and encouragement! I’m really looking forward to trying all kinds of new designs in the coming year 🥰

Hi Choly,
Hope you had a good Christmas day and wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2025.
I love your patterns and have so many, the kids in my enormous family all love them too.
Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Bi-lateral fibrosis in my lungs and the outcome is not good, so I just wanted to ask if you can make me a pattern for a Staffordshire bull terrier. I have hunted high and low and cannot find one anywhere. I would be very grateful if you can do that, but I also understand if you are too busy.
Many thanks for all you do. Karen
Choly’s dog pattern has a bunch of options, including different ear shapes and some piecing that makes colors easier. I looked at the shapes and while I don’t know your particular dog, it looks like there are shapes that would map well onto the Staffordshire dogs I saw in a Google search.
Hi Cindy, thank you for that, I have the dog pattern and will have a fiddle around, I think I have tried before and I just could not get the nose dimensions right. Sometimes things elude me but I will try again as it might just come to me and slap me in the face LOL…. :}
Karen, have you seen these?

The floppy ear dog is huge on last link.
The nuno terrier might help your nose problem.
I know bupkus about your diagnosis but I will send positive resilience and respiratory vibes out each day.
Choly hope you don’t mind me linking other patterns.
Thank you so much for your help it has been a huge help, I need to go through it all in more detail but it looks promising.
Thank you for your healing, I truly appreciate it. My diagnosis isn’t very good I’m afraid, but hey! they won’t get rid of me that easily LOL.
Much love
Was just reading story with a Mimic, funny timing and stellar plushie
I feel like if I just add a hundred little feet to it……… (iykyk)
Exactly what I’m doing to mine, although 10/12 is the max i think will comfortably fit 😆
Tina and Heather now I can’t get idea of plushie that’s nothing but lots of feet out of my head. There’s a precedent with Thing from ADAMs’ family after all. If just hand why not just feet? So many contagious things going around, I’ve been infected with Choly’s creativity but not her talent/skills.
