french furby

I made a cowboy hat for Hosea, and I thought that i should share the pattern and show you guys how to make it!

Start with drawing these shapes. They dont have to be exact, as you can trim them up as you go.

Grab one of these really thick types of felt, and trace the shapes on their pieces.

Cut them out like this. You can use a craft knife to cut the hole in the bottom of the hat (sorry i dont know the words for different parts of the hat, english isnt my first language)

Start with grabbig the side piece, and sew up the short side of it so that it forms a circle.

Grab the top piece and sew it onto the sides against the wavy side. This makes a little “valley” in the hat. You can turn it inside out of you want, but that is more just up to your own preference.

Attach it to the bottom like this. The hole in the hat should be smaller than the width of the sides, as it gives you more room to adjust the sides as you go. Exit all the threads on the inside of the hat, as it makes it look more neat.

You can choose to paint it, but that is really up to your own personal preference. This hat will be black. You can also attach a small strip of fabric or paint it if you want more design elements to the hat :3

Here is a picture of Hosea wearing his second upcoming hat! You can also attach strings to the bottom of the hat to mimic the string that help keep the hat on your furb’s head :)

Does anyone knows

Got a text while at work today saying that there was a surprise waiting for me when I came home. I spent the rest of the day wondering what it could be…

I present to you,

Furb Manor!!!

I was so happy I almost cried, look at how happy my little babies are in there!

Let me explain. I’m 26 years old, I’m a toy collector, and I’m also a classically trained artist and a costume designer. I’ve been around the block a few times in toy collector groups, and I have never seen ANYTHING like what I’ve found here. I was not prepared. The content of every other toy fan community I’ve been a part of has primarily been BST groups that treat their toys like investments. The most carefully taken photographs are ones of box damage or authenticity stickers. On a rare occasion you’ll get someone bragging about their multi-hundred dollar display setup for their thousand-dollar collection. The largest walls of text are dissertations on in-box collecting and scarcity. Pictures of the actual toys have a tendency to be bury or poorly lit, over-exposed flash photography with boring plain white backdrops. People who do custom work on their toys are as frequently criticized for ‘ruining the value’ of their toys as they are complemented on their work - and the work itself is rarely good. And then there’s Furblr. Beautiful photographs that demonstrate an understanding of mood, lighting, composition and display a keen and personal aesthetic sense. Furbies are not exactly an ideal photography subject! They have like six facial expressions max, and zero poseability beyond the ears - but here I am seeing hundreds of unique and beautiful photos of them - dressed up in, frankly, incredible and creative costumes and taken to neat locations for photoshoots - these are incredibly loved toys! If that wasn’t enough, the attitude of the fan community itself is just… it’s so good. You’ve taken the best pages out of the BJD community and given your toys names, personalities outfits - I really can’t stop gushing about the outfits, I never would have even considered costuming a Furby and I do costumes for a living! Broken or glitched toys are not seen as ruined or worthless, but are prized possessions, given humanizing descriptions like mute or sleeping or quirky. I read paragraph long descriptions of what others would see as simple programmed interactions described as elaborate unique personalities - the creative writing talent in this community is surprising!
