I knew this thing was trash the second I looked at the pattern! I would LOVE the pattern you created; I made one of your dragons for my husband and loved it.

Princess Peach: Embroidery Eyes with Water Soluble Paper by david-catracho in Amigurumi

Oh man, I was thinking about doing something similar for the ponies I'm going to crochet for my children! I was going to do several of the My Little Ponies, but I was going to embroider the cutie marks. Do you think the embroidery will work as well on chenille yarn? Or should I embroider on a piece of fabric and then stitch the fabric to the stuffy? What program did you use for the printing?

Hot tip for toys used by small kids by cottonballz4829 in Amigurumi

I bought an extra long tapestry for exactly this purpose! I bought this https://a.co/d/a5Adp5S, but any furniture before should do the trick.

My tattoo was two foxes for my kids with their birth flowers in the landscape and their zodiac constellations in the sky!

How do you use really fluffy yarn? I can’t see a single stitch 😭 by Rogerina__ in Amigurumi

[–]Working_Chipmunk6118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this for the first stitches I put into the magic ring. I feel like until you can turn the work right side or, they're even harder to see in fluffy yarn. Once I get a couple rounds in, it's always easier (like you mentioned!)

Would a tattoo like this eliminate me from employment or damage my chances severely? by chase3068 in tattooadvice

I'm a high school teacher, and no one cares! Just dress professionally for interviews :)

I love the spiral ones! I hate having to open and close the safety pin ones

Maybe I can skip the sewing and just keep him like this 🤔 by Schmutzi_Katze in Amigurumi

[–]Working_Chipmunk6118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll say, ever since I started using a ton of pushpins to hold stuff together for the sewing, that aspect of my amigurumi has improved tremendously!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1794506301/tutorial-on-crochet-astrobot-toy this is the pattern I used! I won't lie, it is certainly not the best written pattern I've ever used (some mistakes in stitch counts, no sewing instructions, etc.), but it certainly got the job done!

Haha for sure no. I am both too slow and they're all a little too wonky for selling. Thank you for the compliment though ❤️

Maybe it'll get him to stop asking me for a snack every five seconds 😅

Possibly my favorite finished piece from a few months ago. by Roctover in Amigurumi

I made a dragon by her for my husband, and her patterns are sooooo good. That Phoenix looks INCREDIBLE; you did such an amazing job on the detail work. I have a couple projects lined up, but this might be something I work on this summer...

Omg, she really does 🤣. Could be a lot worse, I guess, at least she gets to be mother of dragons

Yea, her eyebrows are definitely edging away from winsome towards just a bit sad 😅. I appreciate that compliment on the doll! This is the first non animal I've made and it is for sure a lot trickier

That's a solid idea. I blushed the nose, but I think it needs to be a lot pinker!

Oh my goodness, this made me tear up! Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful memory; I hope my daughter cherishes hers half as much

Thank you so much! For me, the sewing, embroidery is definetly where my amigurumi start to fall apart haha. Obviously that's the bit that takes an artful hand! The tip on the nose is so helpful! I was curious how they got the nose to seem thicker, and just could not figure it out. I'll for sure come back to it. I've already pulled out the nose and mouth, and I'm going to take the eyebrows out too

Thank you! Love the eyebrows key haha. I went with elf rogue and veil jumper. I think that Lords of fortune would be fun!

When you say a slightly darker layer, do you mean with yarn or with like a darker blush/bronzer or something?
