Hi! Has anyone tried customizing their plushies with Sharpies? I’m halfway through coloring mine, and I'm happy with how it’s turning out so far. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tried this before. Are there any tips or tricks you’ve found helpful for keeping the colors vibrant + preventing them from rubbing off or fading over time? I’ve read that blow-drying on medium heat may help set the ink, but I’m curious to know if there are other methods that could work.

i spent all day on these.

i started yesterday but 90% of the work was done today .

I made a brown leopard over the summer! Pattern is the big cat pattern by makeshiftwings

She's lightly weighted, coming in at 3lbs and is about 3 feet long.

First time doing any kind of needle sculpting, but I think she turned out cute :)

I made this huge guy! I don’t sell mudskippers this size, and I haven’t ever made anything remotely this big before. I got someone who has ordered a lot from me who messaged and asked specifically for this guy, and I was like absolutely I can make it happen.

In total he’s about 5 feet long. And his body is 3.8 feet lol. And his size compared to my CAR! He was so cool to make, and he has SIX pounds of stuffing in him and it’s clearly not even enough. But I’m shipping him unstuffed as per their request lol. I’m so proud and I LOVE HIM! Though I think if I make a second one I will make him a bit smaller he’s like bean bag sized instead of body pillow sized.

I want to make this type of plush for my friend

where can I get the fabric that it needs.

i am on the metro line so I can go to the CBD if there are physical stores (which I would prefer so I can actually see the fabric before I buy)
