Angel Sews

I forgot to post Astarion! This was my first time trying embroidery rather then painting on the details. I simplified the embroidery A LOT, but I'm content with how it came out. I also simplified his scars.

I put magnets in his hands so he can hold knives! Right now he only has one basic knife. I might make him a nicer one later. Like most of my plushies, his arms are fully rotatable!

Sorry for the long answer, I hope it helps!!

Unfortunately, I no longer have all the pieces of Captain General Kitten's pattern. I was able to find a handful of the decorative pattern pieces and have included a photo of them. I made a quick sketch of the pattern for the body and armor base (it's not to scale with one another) to give an idea of what the pattern looked like.

Most of my humanoid plushies have the same or almost the same body base. A front chest/stomach, 2 pieces that wrap around to form the sides and back, two legs/feet that get sewn onto the bottom of the front of the body, a butt piece that the front (with the legs already attached) and side/back pieces attach to (this allows them to sit), and two arms that are attached to the sides of the body via buttons, so the arms can be rotated. The back of the head is two pieces to help give the head a round shape. Normally, I have one flat piece for the face, since you normally don't want a seam down the middle of the face. However, since Kitten has a mask and helmet covering his face, I used two pieces for the front to further round out his head. You can also add a chin piece to the bottom of the head to round the bottom and give the appearance of a neck.

I was in the middle of making my own Kitten (the one on here was a commission), and I've included some photos of what he looks like under all the armor pieces.

The part that really makes Kitten look like himself is all the details on the armor. For most of the armor pieces, I used felt as the base and either glued the gold fabric to the front or sewed the felt to two layers of the gold fabric except for one side, turned it inside out then ladder stitched up the gold fabric so that the felt was inside and no longer visible. This makes the armor pieces stiff enough to hold their shape but still be soft to the touch. It also allowed me to layer the fabric, so the armor was three-dimensional. The lion and eagle details are several layers thick to achieve the desired effect. I didn't really use a pre-sketched-out pattern for all the armor but instead made them as I went. I made the body base and stuffed it first, then I laid tracing paper over the doll to sketch out the details (rivets, eagles, etc) at the correct size for the doll. I also cut out holes for places like his eye and glued black felt on the back (I've included photos to show how the front and back of the face mask look).

I just realized I never posted my RAD uniform!! I might take better quality/staged photos of it later, but for now this is what I have.

Since most everyone has a slightly different uniform/wears it differently, I decided to make mine unique with the way the front closes and the large flowy sleeves. Also made myself a bell bow like the sheep MC is depicted wearing. I got the RAD badge from this Etsy store.

Eeyore! He was my favorite Pooh character when I was little.

Made him for a coworker's first baby. I put a rattle in him so he jingles! His tail velcros on and off, but is still attached to the body with string so it can't get lost. It's a little hard to see, but there are stars on his belly and nose.
