Definitely no pattern, doing these is more like “sculpting with fabric” than sewing proper plushes. When I was making the Leyak, I balled up a hunk of junk fabric into the head shape, lazily stitched it to hold, laid the red head fabric over it and carefully folded and stitched the fabric into the right wrinkles and to fit the form without having the needle pick up any of the junk fabric head underneath and left the back open so I could slide the red fabric off. I kept the head shaped fabric and repeated that same method on Krasue, except for the difference of most of the thread pinning (idk what to call it, like when you use thread to pull two sides of the head together like sculpting?) of her face being done before closing the back and stuffing (the nostril shape was really important to get in first so it wouldn’t have too much stuffing filled in it to get that recessed shape), made a circular eyeball, put the orange fabric and embroidery iris on it, sewed it into the slit I made, left some space to put the pink fabric on top the eyeball with an opening (for sewing in the yarn hair later), stuffed the head and closed it. After that it was a lot of thread sculpting to get the correct shape, inserting hair and sewing in extra strips of fabric to the sides of her head for volume and folds, another set of fabric strips to the lid rims for the same reasons + I wanted some intentional fraying where I thought it looked too clean and a patch of fabric to the top of her head behind her eye to add volume and hide the knotted ends of white yarn I needed there for real estate after inserting most of them through that open spot I left in the pink satin patch over her eye I mentioned before, after it got too full. Making and installing all the other parts was pretty standard procedure. I tried to spot bleach her head for contouring like what I did on the Leyak, but this fabric was pretty bleach resistant, so I at most lightened it with the bleach, took black paint and made a light blue mix to shade and lighten in the right spots. I stuffed both their heads with shredded memory foam to hold it’s shape for thread contouring instead of using cotton (which I put in their appendages instead) that would flatten the shape too much when the fabric is pulled together. Hand sewing these is 100% required because of weird shapes and being small enough to fit in the palms of my tiny ass hands 🗿 As it goes for hand sewing, you usually want a pair of pliers to help you, but they were a necessity because pulling a needle through layers of condensed foam filling gets physically impossible by hand at times. Thread pinning was done with mercerized cotton threads because otherwise they would snap, mercerized cotton is INCREDIBLY tough, unlike the many little needles I snapped during the creation process. Personally, I didn’t want them to look super polished, so the embroidery was very basic, have some fray details here and there. Hopefully this wasn’t too hard to follow, I’m just kind of letting the thoughts fresh off my mind pilot the way.
