Hand sewn plushies

Today i found a whole bunch of plushies i had hand sewn as a teenager :joy: you can tell i was a homestuck fan :sweat_smile:

Also im not sure why i opted for hand sewing such big projects. Theres always been a sewing machine available :skull:

They are a bit daunting :sweat_smile: maybe why i mostly hand sewed. But its worth it for sure, i made quite a few costumes with a machine back in the day. I wish you luck in your practice! Itd be awesome to see more sewing projects on here :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yep, all hand sewn! Its been at least over ten years :sweat_smile: since ive done this. The only suggestions i really have is to find an inexpensive material you like and a simple pattern online to practice with. Most of these are fleece. I think i used a back stitch and overstitch mostly. But you can find directions for stitches and that online! Once youve gotten the basics down and done some different work its not too hard to make yiur own patterns.
