More Pillow Stuffies: Wild Animals

I had to take a bit of a break from the pillow stuffy project as I had to make some custom made video game pillows.

I've received some good feedback from one of my testers so will be updating my instructions a bit.  I've slowly started listing them for sale on my Craftsy Store  but if there is one you want to buy - let me know and I can get it up on the store sooner rather than later.

This was the first of my new ones I made.

Not necessarily a success as not everyone can tell what it is right away - but I guess when you aren't a mainstream animal that is going to happen.

I was shopping on Friday and saw this material with the minky - a little bit stretchier - but every bit as soft.   The horns are felt.

I've been meaning to make a horse pattern and when I saw the zebra print - then I knew it was time.  My son said the mane at the top and the side should be connected so it's  more obvious that it's the continuation of the mane.

I modified the horse/zebra  pattern to include a full mane.

Let me know what you think.

Pillow Stuffies

I've been busy digitizing lots of different Pillow Stuffies. These need an 8 x 8 hoop for the main body and either 4 x 4 or  5 x 7 (or larger of course) for the ears/horns/wings/etc.

These are done in the hoop. Only a small bit of hand stitching after you turn them and stuff them.

These work great with Minky - and they end up so soft and cuddly - but can be done with fleece, cotton or anything that works for making stuffed animals.

You can see the chick being made in under a minute (sped up just a little)

I have lots more animals planned to add to the collection,

Now this is where I need help. I need people to help check out my conversion and test drive the instructions.  I only need one person per machine embroidery format -

• you need to have a machine that has at least a 8" x 8" hoop
• you need to promise to try out the design within the week
• you need to promise to give constructive feedback

If you satisfy the requirements and are interested - please email me ptarmigandesignz @ gmail . com

with 

• embroidery machine type and model
• embroidery machine format that your machine uses
• your choice of design you wish to try out
