Grizzer - he/him K&M International (Wild Rebpublic) Timber wolf plush This guy is so lovely and detailed! His air brushing is so pretty and i love how many fur colours are used. He stands quite tall and is very stiff in his legs to give him a stable stance. I'd never seen this plush before stumbling upon him online one day without much description as to what he was.

Judging from pawpads on the boop photos (4), do you have a Colorata wolf? :)

Very attentive observation! however those pawpads actually belong to my Bolt Tote A Tail plushie! they were originally from a Colorata wolf tho i just swapped their paws so bolty could have fancy paws like his jumbo counterpart that i miss having in my collection!

NOM Brown Snake bought online in 2024 Living in australia and having experience growing up with rural areas i'm always a bit hyper alert for snakes, to the point where walking through the park i get jumpy at gumtree branches that are wiggly looking in my peripheral vision, so now we have a joke about me being wary of wiggly sticks! So naturally when i saw this wiggly snake stick i had to grab one

i want to thank you so much for your posts!! your selfmade pattern for the squishy rat singlehandedly rekindled my love for sewing for my own comfort... id given up long ago but remembering it can be simple and well explained makes me want to do it again!

omg thank you for this lovely message! it means a lot to hear that! @thylacines-toybox 's blog really inspired me to take up sewing plushies again as well as making this blog in general after not really sewing plush for ages due to getting frustrated with my outcomes. so it means a lot to hear that my pattern posting is also encouraging people to get back into it! I'd love to see what you end up making!

I've been sitting on this pattern and tutorial for a while now! so time to finally share it with you! I was lamenting that the jellycat pip and sugar mice were long retired and difficult to get your hands on unless you are willing to pay much more than they retailed for each mouse, so i decided to try and eyeball a pattern and make some myself! they're not exact as i only used constructed visual references but they're close! please note that this pattern set is intended for personal use only. Rough tutorial under the cut!

This pattern is for printing onto A4 but you can check your scale with the measurements I've provided or just play around with how big or small you want to try and make them! i didn't really get any wip photos of pip mouse but it's method is largely the same with the nose being the major change, which i will detail in text in the instructions below.

for sugar mouse i would recommend using polar fleece as it will act the right way for the ears to do their squishy marshmallow looking thing. but minky should also work or other similar fabrics! for pip mouse if you can find a similar curly looking fabric with a thin backing that'll be ideal but fleece will also work well, you just wont get the furry texture, you want a fabric with a little bit of stretch to it. i however would not recommend fabrics like felt or non stretch cotton for these guys as it's likely to not take shape the same as there's no give to the fabric.

once you have printed out the pattern and cut the pieces in your fabric, you'll want to sew the ears up and turn them inside out, then put them aside for later. just leave them as is for now but here you can see i was playing around with pinching the turned through ear into shape.

Then moving on, sew the back pieces together along the spine and front of face. you then want pull the bottom open ends apart gently and place the open sides flat up against the base piece so that they're aligned, it can be good to pin this in place so it doesn't shift.

then, get your tail rope, and tie a knot at either end, placing the base of it inbetween the seam at the butt so that it'll sit in the right place, then sew the seam up directly with the tail in place, make sure you sew through the rope to secure it and make sure it doesnt shift. Sew around the bases seam leaving a hole in one side so that you can then turn your mouse through.

once turned through you will want to stuff your mouse with polyfill quite a bit so it takes shape! i like to put weighted beans in mine for extra effect, you can use dried rice or wheat too, just sew a little circle pouch a bit smaller that the mouses base with scrap fabric and fill and seal! then insert into the turning hole while you stuff. once stuffing is done you can sew the hole up with a ladder stitch. the weight from the beads will allow your mouse to sit up quite well.

next you will want to get those ears you put aside, take each corner and bring the ends together in the middle. then sew them gently together at the ends with one or two stitches in about the same spot. you want them to look 3d so dont sew the ends to the back of the ear, just end to end so they meet in the center.

Then pin the ears in place on the head

then you need to ladder stitch the ears in place while they're pinned so they dont shift around, go all the way around the outside edge of each.

now you're almost done! next they just need a face! sugar mouse only needs embroidery by way of a french knot for both the eyes and nose (you can find good video tutorials on how to sew a french knot online), pip mouse will also need a french knot for the eyes but has a separate process for it's nose. (for the pip mouses nose you will need to leave the marked nose hole open and then stitch the nose fabric to the square nose backing in line with the dotted direction on the pattern, (it should look kind of baggy when it's unstuffed) sew it up completley with no hole, then cut a tiny slit in the backing and add polyfill there before closing with a basic stitch, then you ladder stitch the nose directly to the marked nose hole)

in order to hide the embroidery anchor knots i find the best way is to start by going down through the middle of the ears and then coming back up where you want the eye to be, and then going back down and up through the ear for the finishing knot, as it creates a very easy cover for them and looks nice and clean!

then you have yourself a little buddy!

haha they're great to squish! if you use this pattern i'd love to see your results!

I've seen you sew sum of your plush friends, I like to sew aswell!

I made this little kitty with a heating cushion inside a while ago, for a friend!!

They look so soft and floppy! I really enjoy the lining fabric you chose too and the lil whiskers that's so cute! So awesome to see more heatpack plushies! they're such a good idea! I need to get better at sewing zippers myself, i find them so fiddly! you've done a wonderful job, such a sweet lil cat!
