FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Q: Where do you get your fabrics?
A: I buy all fabrics from online shops. These two are the ones I usually use (both located in the US):
CRīs Crafts
Mendels Far-Out Fabrics
Q: How do you make those plushies?
A: I donīt understand this question. I grab fabrics and start to sew?
Q: Where did you learn to make plushies?
A: I first learnt to make plushies at school when I was 8 years old. Our teacher taught my class and
I got so excited that I continued making (very simple) plushies at home. But I started to make realistic
plushies when I accidentally found a plushie-making book from library in winter 2006. I studied stuff from
that book and practised with patterns it had. I noticed that I liked making plushies so I tried to make
my own ones. Everything I have learnt after that I have learnt by simply doing more. I have also read
lots and lots of good stuff from Fursuit Livejournal community.
Q: Do you know any plushie-making books you could recommend?
A: Yes, the book I mentioned above. Itīs called "Learn bearmaking" by Judi Maddigan. Itīs in English and
I have seen it often in Ebay (itīs old book so I donīt think itīs available at bookshops). Itīs only about
bears but it covers all the basics about plushie making.
Q: Can you give me tips on how to make plushies?
A: Yes. But please specify what kind of tips you want. Plushie making covers so many topics that
explaining them all would fill a book.
Q: Do you do trades?
A: Sometimes. But it depends on who you are and what you can do. I mainly do trades only with people who
I want to commission and by doing a trade I can avoid using money.
