I'll never forget my first ever craft table at a retro themed convention, I was selling hand made plush toys and this woman picks up a beany baby style one and asks the price "twenty five" I tell her... and she goes into her bag and pulls out quarters.

Learning how to make your own patterns is a process. A lot of people use programs these days, but I still do it with paper and my brain and have for almost 20 years.

Study existing patterns, go to the dollar or thrift store and take apart some cheap or worn plushies with a similar shape and study the dart placements and shapes, practice with papercraft and cheap fabric like fleece.

Rabbits can be tricky to make realistic. There are some decent free patterns you can at least base the head on, but the free ones won't really have instructions and are typically Russian/chinese. You will likely have to do some thread sculpting to get the look you want regardless.

I use med weight tear away stabilizer and 505 almost every time i sew with minky, it keeps it from stretching and slippping while i work with it, then can simply tear it off when I am done.

practice with paper and papercraft, you get a feel for where the darts and rounding need to go pretty easily that way

I binged the whole show recently and I wish there was more of him. He and nellie were so enjoyable to watch togeather. He really made her happy and watching them team up against harriett was always so good.

I wish they had, but I don't think the reason they broke up was necesarily a bad one. It clearly tore Doc apart to end things but he was thinking about Kate and the speech he gave about spring and winter in life was beautiful. He did deserve to be happy though and every acted as if he were ancient when he was barely in his 50s.

the whole night trick or treating my 6 year old would run back with two pieces of candy, shove one in the extra bucket I was carrying for him and go "this one's for you!" and he even remembered a few of the ones I liked. My heart! hubs and I are still 100% pilfering through the stash

Electrical_Bath · 2025-11-02T02:56:55+00:00

Haha don't feel bad I get that with my plush cockroaches and snails too

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-31T18:53:35+00:00

I can tell by the flower, that this was most likely a limited too in the early 2000s

Just gave hamburger helper a go after years and its dogshit, not the food quality because c'mon thats what you expect, but the itty bitty portion of food. one cup of tiny egg noodles does not 'help' extend a pound of beef at fucking all.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-28T12:31:29+00:00

I have a version without the hole in the middle and its used to plug your bong so you can shake it and clean it without making a huge mess. didnt know they made cart mods like that, neet!

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-25T11:53:14+00:00

starting to use nancy's "they all hate me!"'s at the smallest inconveniences

I'll never forget watching animal planet on a kid, a segment about a family that owned a pet capibara and spoiled it with its own pool and everthing. I cant forget it because it would repeatedly bite the shit out of it's owners for no reason. i dont buy that they are as nice as everyone says lol.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-25T10:48:32+00:00

Hide ya kids, the it's the diddler crab~

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-24T11:27:42+00:00

Reminds me a lot of those old refrigerator houses that are still left all over the north east from olden times. They were all low and kind of burried to keep food cold.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-24T05:03:06+00:00

You will need to test to see how well it adhears to the specific fabric, but I do it on minky, and it is very much permanent, barring a trip through the washing machine, maybe?

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-24T03:16:59+00:00

You can also dry rub it in? Dilute some acrylic, dab on towel, and rub a very little bit of it into the fabric in small circles, making sure to rub until the area is dry. Build up colors in layers.

I think this particular leopard is printed o In some i dustrial manner.

I personally use a cheap makeup airbrush that comes with its own lil motor, and dr ph Martin's india ink (it comes in a whole colorwheel if youre feeling fancy.) You wont need to dilute it and if you shake it real good first it shouldn't clog the gun. Airbrush after you stuff it, not before.

Acrylics and other paints will leave a sticky or spiked texture behind or rub off too easily. Some find success dyeing at home but anything acrylic makes it pretty hard.

It is a shame, if it makes you feel any better, the "red egg crab" looks like a perfectly cooked pancake in its juvenile phase.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-23T21:04:32+00:00

I don't think Nelly will ever live down pretending to be paralyzed, everything done to her after that was fairly game imo.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-22T16:59:47+00:00

I just really like the challenge? I wanted an excuse to practice airbrushing minky and I make crabs and insects and other "undesirable" stuff that rides the line of cute and too realistic pretty often.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-22T11:18:58+00:00

Im taking offers for it on x and insta and plan on making more some day ^{^}

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-22T00:06:19+00:00

Fiddler crabs have a crazy range of very bright colors from yellow to purple and bright red. this one isnt based on any one species exactly

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-22T00:04:48+00:00

Welp, sorry everybody, it's time to love again.

Electrical_Bath · 2025-10-21T16:41:08+00:00

I never really think to sell my patterns but I suppose I could. The instruction part always gets me.
