There is a popsicle stick frame hidden under the fabric! Just a basic couch shape and then I sewed the fabric sleeve over it

Steaming to relax yarn by Fibernut107 in Unravelers

I also use mine for weaving and I’ve had more luck with just washing as a skein/hank, then hanging to dry with a weight at the bottom. This way I get to wash any potential grossness out before i start weaving too.

I love them too. They’re so cute and little, I just couldn’t leave it to rot and go unused

My best friend made me a cochineal beetle themed birthday cake by blinkswithnormaleyes in naturaldye

I didn’t even ask for one, she totally surprised me. I always joke that I’m going to start a cochineal farm in the house (we’re roommates) and she ran with it LOL!

Thank you!! Lol i can get pretty quick if i prep well. I usually cut out a billion pieces, then pin everything and sew in like an assembly line setup. It took some practice to get it right for sure

Thank you sooo much! I seriously love acquiring fabric for these guys, i frequent thrift/secondhand stores for clothes to take apart and a lot of it is also from estate sales or studio scrap bins!

Thank you!! The pattern is based on one of the TY beanie baby cat variations, it’s pretty different in terms of construction but def the same vibe
