OtaCat: craft

Sigh... I am not good at sewing.
So I got a bunch of random fabric in the end of the year throw away at my work. Some people were throwing away fabric and it looked good so I thought 'why not' and went dumpster diving. Now I have more fabric than I know what to do. They're probably too small to sell, but enough to make things like pillows cases (which I've made 2 of).
I also wanted some christmas stuff to put on the tree. So I looked up a pattern for deer... and well... here's the creation.

It's very poorly built with seems actually showing quite vividly and I haven't made enough seem allowance in some places.
Oh well. That's one plush down the drain. I got the pattern from Nuno dolls and I guess it's no wonder why I failed since the plush was for a felt fabric which I have done in the past with better results... but I was hoping it'll still be something... alright? Now, it's just a pug deer.

I just wanted to keep a record of some of the crafts I've made in the past, all for good memory. I've made all of them using a pattern I found online so I'm sure, in the far away future when I don't have to move around and when I can settle in a nice home, I'll be able to make them again to keep. Just looking at these makes me want to get back to crafting.
Most of them are photographed next to something for scale.

Sophia the Bunny AKA Mokona Modoki

It took me ages finding the pattern again. I think it was a lovely pattern and I love how it turned out.

Patchwork cat/kangaroo

I made this because I wanted a teddy bear type cat. Didn't really come out like a cat because I didn't even have the right colour felt. It really looks more like a kangaroo than a cat and so I put it on an auction site as a kangaroo.

Peas in a Pod

I really liked this plush because I like plushies where it's interactive in some way. I made about 3 of these, one for my mom and one for my friend. The one I made for my mom, I sewed the name of me, my brother and my sister on it.

Catbug plush

I don't like how I placed the eyes... Oh well. It's still cute I guess.

Needle Felted Kitten

It was supposed to be just a head according to the instruction, but I thought why not. I probably needed to poke it some more to make it tougher, but I think it's cute as is.

Cross stitch rabbit cushion

I used to get these magazines called Mr. K when I was young. It was a Korean magazine for children and teens. The company went under a long time ago so I think it's alright to upload this. Anyway, I liked this pattern, but I just have no use for a small cushion I guess.

Lalaloopsy inspired doll

I thought those lalaloopsy dolls were very cute, but I also thought I might be able to make something similar using felt. Oh boy was I wrong. This came out cute, but it's a bit flimsy and by the time I finished, I couldn't be bothered making the cloth. Oh well. You live and learn.

I think I used a variation of the following pattern

Amigurumi girl doll

I saw these adorable dolls by this Japanese amigurumi artist and I wanted to make something similar.

So I made a variation of this pattern. It came out just a tad too big for my liking and nothing like the other doll I've seen, so I decided to sell it and try and make another one next time.
