This is a project I found on Cutoutandkeep

Hello!
I am currently making a corset topped tutu skirted dress and needed help with some ideas.
The colors of my corset will be purple, light blue, and lime green. (and maybe bits of black) but I was wondering what I could do for the corset?
I think it would be best to have a black corset but all black sounds kind of boring to me. Or maybe a purple or blue top. I have absolutely no idea how to make the colors for the top. And maybe adding some color to the bones or beads around the outline or SOMETHING! but I cant think of a straightforward idea.
Can anyone help me? Or any pictures to get an idea through?
Thanks so much!

i made my own patten and had a go at making him. it took me a while, (i forgot how to thread my sewing machine! and i had to change my needle on it and it took sometime) but yay! its 3d and i will post it soon.

Do you want it 2D (like just 2 pieces of felt sewn together) or 3D (like the Jake plush)? I'd love to try and help and make a how-to if I can. :)

Ooo! Just saw this Jake and the idea of 4 pieces in a tall, squished beachball kind of pattern would be great for this guy. http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/adventure-time-jake-plush

Please forgive the painfully ugly trackpad drawn sketch. I hope it makes sense too.
I'd sew the white portion onto a piece of black that will be the front half of him. Then I'd cut an identical black piece (the dotted lines in the drawing) and sew around while sewing his wings into this seam as well. Then follow that by sewing a circle onto the bottom. And of course, it's always easier to sew the face on before closing the plush.
You might have to play with the body pieces a little to get them to make a fat enough plush, but it can be done. Plus, if you use fleece instead of felt, you'd probably get a smoother, more rounded shape when it's stuffed. Fleece has more stretch to it where felt barely has any.

Another way you could do it, but it wouldn't be as clean and smooth would be to sew a tube out of black for his body and then gather the top in to make the top of his head. That could have a cute homemade vibe if you are into that.

Good luck.~

It would be easy enough to make a pattern of Gunter. Just look at how others have made their Gunter Plushies and make a pattern from that, I've made many patterns that way. Just look up Gunter plushie on deviantart.com. I tried looking for a pattern but only came up with a knit one.

Do you have an image of what you have in mind, or of what you want the plushie based on?

Check your local thrift shops :) I have gotten tons from the thrift stores in my area :D

I went to a thrift shop and got some vintage sewing magazines and they have a lot of things in them that can help beginners without paying a lot for a new sewing book/magazines.

Okay that sounds good then :) and I found it at Jo Ann fabrics Its by the Brand Pellon and/or Peltex and it says 72F Double-sided Fusible ultra firmStabilizer

I can only assume, you cut all parts of lining, interfacing and shell fabric, glue them together, sew the seams and sew on the bone casings on top of the seam allowances. At least i know that there is such a workmanship even though i didn´t heard of that double-sided glue interfacing yet. Where did you get it and what´s the name? :)

I am currently making a corset that I will later attatch to my dress. Though, my corset will have 3 layers: the interfacing, the base that makes it really hard (idk what its called), and then the outer fabric that others see.
The really hard part has a double sided glue that attaches the fabrics on both sides.
Now, instructions say that i sew it all together and then its pretty much ready except for a few details, but that is only for one layer (i have three)
So, should I cut out the pattern for all three layers, glue them all together, THEN sew them to make the full corset?
or should i form the corset separately with each layer and THEN glue them together? (i think this second method would be much harder but I wanted to make sure which was correct)
Im Sorry my question has been so extensive but please help me if you know how to make one :)

I can always leave my tension to 4 or 5 and it doesn't matter what stitch I am using. This happened to me once after I changed the needle, it wasn't pushed up all the way. Also happened when my needle was dull.

fabric covered buttons to make rings or necklaces or put as an accent on a purse or pouch...zipper pouches....coin pouches with those snap buttons or pull ties...hair scrunchies w/ elastic

i have put one (as thats what ive only done but im going to make a weath!) called fluffy monster.

Thank you so much! this is amazingly helpful!

Hello, I was asked to make this dress and was wondering if anybody had any creative tips on how to make it work since its just a drawing.
Any ideas, DIY tutorials on how to make the dress, additions, or anything would really help.
Thank you so much and heres the link:

I picked up a couple rolls of duck tape, both are 55 yards, so I am hoping that is enough. Then a pretty purple deco duck tape for the outside! My husband is making me the stand and is going to tape me up! I will post a pic when it is all finished! :)

I think making one will be fun! :) plus it is custom.

good idea.

More plushies in different sizes, maybe?
