1st Iteration

Hi Bloggers. This is my first time making a plush.

First:

I started off with materials I didn't need to use. In this case, I used an old pair of jeans from American Eagle and a sewing kit from my mom's.

But first, here is some inspiration for some of my plushies: Elmo from Sesame Street. I find him interesting by how clean the sew work is on every part of his body. I hope to achieve that or at least to in the process. 

Now that I've considered my intention of making my project, I went ahead to start cutting the fabric and using a single stitch technique (is it? I dunno, not an expert in sewing)

 After cutting the fabric, I then proceeded to fold them in half and stitch around the fabric leaving only one side open to put the stuffing: which was tissues

Now that all four sides were done, I went ahead with the body

 When I finished cutting, I then proceeded to sew the edges leaving the top and the bottom open

 I then proceeded to sew one side to hold it together. Again, I'm not pro at this

After that was done, I used tissue to stuff the fabric and then sew it together using the same method as with the legs of my original creation

 Now that it's almost done, I then proceeded with making the eye

All done!!

There you have it folks, my original creation of a plush. The total time this took me to finish it was around 4 hours of stitching back and forth and trying to find the needle. What I can take away from this experience is to use more advanced methods of sewing, to make my stiching more professional by trying to avoid exposing open fabric, and to use better materials. However, I am going to say that this was a test, as I plan to make my 2 other iterations more complex in terms of materials used, technique and craft.
