I've hand sewed all my plushies (they're pretty small). I got a sewing machine a couple years ago and used it to make curtains and a beanbag cover but not for small stuff yet. I need more practice! But you make so many big cuddly plush, I can see why you'd need to use a machine! Hand sewing always hurts my fingers after a while. xD

Haha thank you! :D

Oh, okay. What I do for simple canine heads is to take a basic round head pattern, something like this, with four peices. Then I add a snout to two of the pieces, kinda like this jolteon pattern. Obviously though for houndour you'd want a longer snout, and if making a small one I think a simple snout like that would work.

Haha, yeah, my big plush would take forever to hand sew. XD

Ooh I see. That looks a lot simpler than I was doing it. xD Thanks for the links! I can't find the tutorial I used to use now but here is a progress shot which kind of shows it.

Spoiler:

All this talk makes me wanna try making more plush! xD Next on my list was gonna be Archen but it's pretty complex so that's probably why I never got around to it! Are you making anything at the moment?

Yeah, you can make canine snouts a lot of ways, but that's the simplest that I know of. You should try it!

DOOO IIIIITTT! If you don't want to start with Archen (I agree, it's pretty complex XD) pick another one, maybe a simple four legged one like bulbasaur and make that, and work your way up to the complex ones.

Yeah, birds seem really hard! xD I should try another Bulbasaur some time! Bulbasaur has such a weird head shape though! xD It might work the way you just showed me. :3

You should! And see how you improve from the last one. And yeah, and you can also look at pictures of official bulbasaur plushies for inspiration as well.

Good point. I have at least 10 official Bulbasaur plush around my room xD They seem to use such complex patterns though! I know some people take them apart to learn/copy them and make shiny versions etc, which is pretty cool. I could never do that to my poor Bulbas though xD

Oh wow me neither. XD I couldn't take apart my precious plushies. What I heard some people do is they put tape over parts of the plushie, only one one piece of the pattern, then peel it off and make it lay flat to show the shape of the piece. I've never tried it myself but I know people have copied patterns for learning this way.
