You may remember I made the plush Purple Monster named Freddie back in the winter. I mentioned that I would be making a Phoenix plush next.... but then I had a lot of schoolwork. Sorry, guys! But obviously it's summer now... so...
Last night I finished drawing up the pattern and cut out the fabric I needed. I have all my supplies except for the eyes (which I am ordering from SuncatcherEyes.net ... same place I got Freddy's eyes). Again, I am going to make the plush, and if the pattern is usable for others, I will be making it available like I did with the Purple Monster Pattern.
Purple Monster Pattern and directions are still available for those people who would like it--just let me know.
I will begin sewing tonight and this weekend, and I will post pictures once I have made some progress. Thanks for all the kind words you guys have had on my monster. This will be my second plush animal ever--and again, all stitches will be done by hand since I don't have and don't know how to use a sewing machine.
I'll do my best. The Phoenix's design presents two rather difficult problems: 1. The flames atop his head must be done carefully or risk looking terrible. 2. His colors are a gradient in some areas--this I plan on resolving by using airbrushed/sprayed paint |
