Description
So I was looking at plushies here at DA, and the custom ones seemed so expensive! I decided to find out if it was worth buying one or just making it yourself. I wanted to make Ichigo, but i didn't have the right color pink. ; _ ; Oh, well.I used the tutorial and pattern found here by with just a few modifications - I made the head smaller, gave her a neck, and ended up sewing the limbs on since I didn't have the right sized buttons. Thank-you, very much *AshFantastic for a very cute, free pattern!
Although it took an extremely long time, and I gave up at several points (lol), I finally managed to finish! And it doesn't look that bad, although some of the stitching is messy and obvious, and the back of the wings is a little gluey.....
Well whatever! I learned a lot and now I know why people charge up to $30-$40 for these things. ^_^
just under 8'' tall; completely handsewn felt, with bead eyes and pendant, wire and sheer nylon wings

This is so cute!!! My only suggestion is to make the stitches a bit tighter when sewing--but not so tight it breaks the thread. This is adorably awesome, though!

Fffff, way too cute. -And well done, too! I know how hard it can be to sew little plushies. => I like how you took the consideration to put a yellow bead for the transformation charm.

OMG! THIS IS SO AMAZING. And better then the big heaed plushies they have. HNNNG I WISH I HAD MONEY, I'd pay for a Mirtillo one right now. No joke. Is this all by hand? Or did you use a machine?

Thanks, Summer. If I ever go into the plushie making business, I will make a special one for you! But I doubt that customers will be calling me anytime soon, LOL. my dear, a nice young loli like you deserves better than an old granny like me. But really, I'm quite flattered you asked~

wahhh!!!!!!!!
I'm not really. She's not even close to as nice as a commissioned doll....
Thank-you! The hair and the armpoofs were what took the longest to sew. It was especially hard trying to find the best shape for the buns and side pieces. I redid it a few times....
Lol, well I did originally sew on a mouth, but it looked awkward. I guess simple is the way to go.
