I've made an addition to my Busy Bee and firefly pattern that will allow you to use the pattern to make a plush butterfly or moth! Here's the free pattern addition containing the butterfly and moth pieces (I made a tutorial, but there doesn't appear to be a way to upload files other than images...

Do you remember the Busy Bee plushies, pattern, and tutorial I posted in my blog last year? I've finally made an addition to it that will allow you to use the pattern to make a plush firefly! Here's the free pattern addition containing the firefly pieces, and the tutorial on how to make one is...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted in my blog, but I'm happy to announce that I have something new to share with you! As a tribute to all those busy, buzzing bees that pollinate our flowers and our food, I wanted to make a plush bee. But none of the free patterns I found online...

This month marks my fifth anniversary of being a plushie-maker! I don't remember the exact day, but it was in November when I began working on my first plushie. I'm still not that great with making patterns, but overall I think I've improved a lot and learned a lot over these five years. I'm...

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to show you how to make a creative project: a fabric picture! These are pretty easy to make and can be used for decoration. A good project for beginners at sewing! Kids may also enjoy this project, however, make sure an adult handles the cutting since the scissors...

Here are answers to some questions you might have about my plushie-making hobby, as well as some that should be useful to anyone who owns a plushie I made. I hope you find them helpful and if you have a question that's not listed here, feel free to ask and maybe I'll add it to this post! ;)

Hi everyone! :wave: If you remember my last blog post, it was about Floppy Puppies, some cute plush puppies I've been making from a pattern I made. Well, I have now made three more of them, and I'd like to introduce you to them! (Also, if you haven't seen the first two, Rosey and Thistle, you...

August 29, 2018 Update: I made a few more edits to the pattern and updated the tutorial so that the puppies will be easier to make and will have some more options. Hey guys! I finally decided to try making my first ever shared plushie pattern, and this is the result of that attempt. I call this...

Part 6: Other Hobbies So, in the first five parts of this blog series I talked about my main creative hobbies, but there are still a few minor creative hobbies I have that I don't do as often. I'll conclude this series by describing them a little bit. -Clay Modeling- I got into clay modeling...

Part 5: Sewing -Beginnings- For as long as I can remember, I've loved stuffed animals. I've always liked animals and wanted a pet but was never able to get one, so I started collecting the next best thing. They're so cute and soft, and I say you're never too old for them! ;) Anyway, ever since...

Part 4: Writing -Beginnings- Until fifth grade, I didn't like writing; I only wrote for school most of the time. When I was five and six years old, I'd either make my stories with only illustrations and no or very few words, or I'd ask my dad to add the writing for me. When I was seven years...

Part 3: Music -Beginnings (Recorder)- From kindergarten to eighth grade I took music classes in school. For the first few years we would sometimes play with instruments, but it wasn't until third and fourth grade (2004-2006) that we learned to play the recorder, which was the first instrument I...

Part 2: Digital Art -Beginnings (MS Paint)- I actually never tried making digital art for the first decade of my life-in fact, I didn't even use the computer that much. Then, in May 2007, when I was 10 (almost 11) years old, I got into digital art; I was taking a class in school at that time...

This is the first part of a new blog series I'm making about how I began doing my creative hobbies and how far I've come with them. Hope you enjoy! :) Part 1: Traditional Art -Beginnings- I made at least one drawing way back in late 1999-early 2000 when I was three years old. The oldest...

Happy Easter to all of CF today from me and my character Multi the husky. :) Here is something for you!

Hey everyone! ^_^ I've started working on a new digital drawing today. While I'd love to be able to record my drawing process to share it with you, I don't think I have the programs to do that, but I can do the next best thing: share some pictures of my drawing, step by step! This drawing is...

Welcome to my first blog entry of 2018! I hope you had a wonderful New Year and that this year will bring new opportunities. I've decided to make this guide to fabric, which will tell you about my experience with the types of fabric I've used in sewing. Maybe it will help you choose which...

Merry Christmas to all of CF today, from me and my character Multi the husky. :) This is my Christmas gift to you!

Hello! I've decided to make a tutorial showing how I made the Advent calendar from my previous blog entry, in case anyone would like to make one of their own. :) I hope you will find it helpful! Materials For one Advent calendar, you will need: Two pieces of fabric (One for the background and...

Hey everyone! :wave: I know it's been a while since this blog had any new posts - I took a longer break from projects than I expected. But now I'd like to show you something new! I finished making a fabric Advent calendar last night. It's made from two different flannel fabrics with 25...
