I know a little bit about sewing and am currently taking a sewing class but I would really like to know how to make a plushie. I could use some good tutorials that will help me easily understand how to do anything that will help me get started. Patterns would also be appreciated. sweatdrop Oh and I was wondering what materials are best to use and what the best technique is for the eyes.

These are some pictures of what I want to eventually be able to do.
Any help is welcomed!
~Thanks!

I'm not sure if this helps you or not
Some of the tutorials aren't that great but some are quite good

I made my first plushie! Here's the link to him on my DA: http://dinocherrymonster.deviantart.com/art/Italy-Plushie-139971349
He actually came out pretty good. Hopefully I'll be able to make another one soon. biggrin

Aww! Your plushie is so cute, zooke!
Wanna see mine?
It's heart Remus Lupin heart from Harry Potter. I was able to find great faux fur online. It's brown with grey streaks in it.
I hope this image works. lol. I always have the worst luck with stuff like that.

Yay Harry Potter! xd
Your Lupin came out great. I love his expression. biggrin

Oh and thanks for the kind words!
i would suggest geting some patterns and some musslin first to make a test to make sure you can work with the pattern, then once you get everything cut out and ready to be sewn and stuffed, i would use embroidery floss or the face and smaller details, or even buttons, but you can even get ready to use screw in type eyes which are fun too
