Are you trying hand sewing or machine sewing?


I don't think the tape should harm them if you want to try that. I put tape on my stuffed animals as a kid (not for pattern copying, just for random/weird reasons XD) and they were just fine afterward.

And yeah, getting stabbed with needles is kinda inevitable with plushing. xD I'm careful so it doesn't happen often, but every once in a while...

Haha that's cute. xD I used to put texta makeup on my dolls. o_O Sadly didn't come off that easily. XD

I had to sew up a hole in my brother's jeans a few weeks ago. It was really difficult as it was in the leg and I couldn't see anything. xD I was so scared of stabbing myself! Like 2 days later he went and tore an even bigger hole in another spot, so that was a waste of time haha.

Yeah I distinctly remember the sewing badge from Girl Scouts being one of the few badges I didn't get with the troop. To explain, in Girl Scouts (or Girl Guides I've heard they're called outside the states?), you usually work on badges during troop meetings and outside of them. It's rare to not succeed in getting the badges you work on during the meetings, but sewing was one of them and I was bullied relentlessly by my troop members because I stabbed myself in the finger with a needle and then started sobbing like a five year old. To be fair having a huge needle in your finger is not a great feeling.

My mom has offered to teach me to sew, we just always ran into the little problem of my not steady hands. Maybe this summer I'll be able to sit down with her and learn.



Hand? Like a normal beginner?

Girl scouts always sounded like fun. We had girl guides here but I never joined. My friend was a member and I went to one of the "bring a friend" nights and we had to dress as aliens. That's all I remember haha. Maybe you could try knitting or crochet instead! I have made crochet Pokemon before. It's a lot less dangerous (no needles! xD)
