A tip for cutting fur is actually only cut the backing because it will be less messy, and then you won't have that blunt edge on the fur. You can use a blade, or just be careful and slow to cut the backing only. Another tip is to not sew over your pins, because you can actually break a needle by doing that. I know breaking a needle isn't a terrible thing, but it can cost money that is unnecessary if you can prevent it. Taking the needles out as you sew along is the best way to prevent breaking needles.

It’s also dangerous, I broke a needle and it came flying towards my face and almost hit me in the eye, thankfully I reflexly blinked but I was super close to getting a broken needle lodged into my eyeball…

Not trying to be mean just what I found easy when making plushies is doing the eyes before stuffing and also for ur 3rd one it’s really good so keep it up it took me three years to get good and still don’t think I’m amazing yet 😂

Hii! I don't like to do the eyes before I stuff it because I feel like the stuffing changes the shape of the face too much. I feel like I can't tell where I'm putting the eyes until after it's been stuffed, but that's really just my personal preference :). And thanks!

I sew the plastic disc in with a couple of stitches for my noses and eyes, so they don't move. But I always add the eyes after stuffing too.

@@bellamena You could stuff the head, punch the holes/mark them, take the stuffing out, put the eyes and nose in, stuff it again, and then stitch it up!!! Oh wait... am I complicating things? Too much? 😂🥰😏

I always do eyes or small details first and yes sometimes even when I do a plush it ends up with uneven eyes or nose or even mouth. Then I have to fix it afterwards cause of that reason. lol

It's funny, I started fixing/customising bears right before you started this series & I love it! One thing I've learned in my research is that the best way to cut fur fabric is to use snips and only cut the back of the fabric, not the fur itself. It's less messy and looks smoother too 💙

We need an additional video how to rightly cut the fur fabric. Someone demonstrated half way for me , so if backing is cut then how front will cut ?

@TeddyCrafter84

@@anandi483 That's a good question. As far as I can tell, it's more that the fibres separate when the back is cut, rather than actually cutting. I've only done it a couple of times on long pile faux fur fabric & it worked fine!

I'm loving this sewing series!! The elephant was adorably charming. Great job

9:36 I am very happy for you. I've sewn stuffed animals and made my own patterns for many things. When something accidently or on purpose turns out great, it is a huge victory!! So here I am, celebrating with you!! Also, just in general, this turned out sew cute! (Like that pun? I had to) seriously tho, so cute!

I absolutely love this elephant! I know he was just made, but he already looks like he's been well-loved by some little kid. So charming! I hope you continue to create these little stuffies. They're all so cute!!!!

This is so cute! I'm super glad it worked out so that the elephant is sitting down, what a happy accident. Can't wait to see what you do next; you've already improved so much

Elephants are my favourite animal, so I was very excited watching this video. And it turned out so freaking cute! ❤️

Girl you're doing so good!!! I'm honestly so excited to see you keep going!!! Also I mark where I want my eyes, then use a seam ripper to create a small hole. It works pretty well for me.

Thank you so much for simplifying how to make pattern. I'm making Pink Panther doll using the technique, where you just guess and figure out how big you want it. It took a couple hours to sew out the fabric and sew it together in general but I think it's adorable and I'll remember this technique for making anything really. I'm a beginner and just got my sewing machine and now I love to learn and figure things out and see what I can make. So thank you again. Your the best.

This is the cutest little elephant! Thank you for such a great video!

Hi, you should try to crochet if you have not already. I personally find it so fun and it is a great hobby. Btw I loved the video ❤

hii! my tip for sewing the smaller shapes like the ears is to trace out the template on the fabric then to cut a large square around it. that way you have more fabric available to hold on to when sewing. you just have to cut off the excess before turning it inside out

It's easiest to get the stuffing into the limbs if you use something like a pencil or chopstick. :)

You can save your fabric scraps, cut them up and add them to the poly-fill. It's a great way to save money. It's also great for old clothes that can't be donated because it's stained or torn, etc.

Ahhhhhh I am so glad you like it!!🐘 🐘 🐘

By far the cutest thing you've made in my opinion😻🐘🐘🐘🐘

I think technically a gusset is any piece of fabric, usually along a seam, that adds breath or just strengthens the joints. This can be on clothing pieces, or help with the curvature of very filled up shapes like a doll or teddy's head. I don't think there is a general word for...the intangible, bilateral symmetrical line around the medius of the human head. So you could invent your own word lol.

YEASSS I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR SEWING VIDEOS YOUR PLUSHES ARE THE CUTEST

The trick to sewing small pieces out of fun fur is cling wrap. The glad wrap that sticks to itself works great to seal the edges so you can accurately keep them together. Plus the crinkly adds an additional texture.

As an elephant lover and always have been, OMGGG SO CUTE!!!!

Love it!

What a cute elephant!🤩 I would recomend to remove the pins as you go when sewing. You don't want to hit a pin with the sewing needle, it can easily break and fly away🙈

He looks so snuggley! I love the fabric that you used. It reminds me of a very soft stuffed animal for a baby.

I love that elephant so damn much! He's the cutest little sitting thing. Idea suggestion: I think you should make tarot cards of your characters, at least the major arcana. Maybe one per video so its not overwhelming and is a long lasting series.

This is my favorite one so far. It is the cutest thing.

very adorable!! love the lil guy

Love the elephant it’s my fave out of all the plushies😊

Since you scanned this pattern to store it, would it be possible to make it available for us? It's so cute and I'd love to see my own little elephant but I don't trust my own pattern making skills 😂

I love it when a mistake is made, but turns out it helped! I take it as that is how it was destined to be, that you are on the right track. Good sewing, what a cutie he turned out to be!

I love him so much 🐘

Elephants are my favorite 😍 I love this it turned out so cute!!

I am so happy how it look ❤

This elephant is adorable. It was a happy accident that it ended up sitting up well. You should add a tail, but that's just me. I think it was me who suggested fluffing the stuffing lol, glad it worked out in the end.

He’s so cute and fluffy!! Happy accidents are the best 😍🐘

This is my favorite one by far 😍😍

This turned out so cute, good job.

Would it be alright if I gave you some tips? First, if you want to make sure the pattern will connect the way you like, you can pin all the whole paper pattern together to see if it all connects well. But if you like to live dangerously, then totally cool! And you're actually REALLY good at guessing how the pattern will go together! Two, if you want the plushie to pet from head to back or pet how you want the plushie to be pet, then draw an arrow the direction you want that part to pet, and then pin it to the fabric the way you want it to pet! And three, with long furry fabric like that, when you stitch that fabric together it'll get caught in the stitching, but if you want to hide that seam, then take a needle or a pin, and carefully take the fur out of the seam! If you're having trouble finding anymore fur to take out of the seams then rub the seam with the sharp bit of the pin/needle, and it'll show start to show the little hairs that you missed to take out! (Also, furry fabric like that will bunch up over time, but you can take a pet brush and brush it with that and it'll go back to the fluffiness the way it used to be!) I hope these help! And if you don't want to use these techniques, then that it totally cool!! (Also, your elephant is adorable!!!!!)

That is one of the cutest elephant 🐘 stuffed ive seen ❤️
