Furby Family

The most universal problem we all share is the utter length of our furbies. Tho beautiful, gracious and completely other worldly, it is not very portable.

Furbies are meant to explore the world and cause chaos among simple mortals. Now we can help them with also having both hands free!

Perfect for festival season or simple everyday activities like going to court, your beloved friend can accompany you everywhere!

I started with creating pattern that uses my boy’s anatomy to its advantage. Arm holes hold onto him and it will fasten with two buckles.

The mock-up fits him perfectly!

Those are materials I used:

beautiful purple cotton fabric that complements Topson’s fur

thick polyester for lining

white felt for the layer in between

black strap + plastic thingy that I don’t know the name of to make adjustable backpack straps

buckles

Firstly I sewn cotton fabric with inner lining fabric and turned it right side out.

Felt goes inside and the thing is closed with stitch all around.

Then I drew the arm holes and sewn around them similar to how you make button holes.

Next goes the buckles.

Topson tried it on and it fits perfectly!

It’s time for backpack straps. I sewn two layers together, flipped it and stuffed it with poly stuffing.

Then I added the adjustable mechanism.

The straps go on the harness and it is done!

I’m so excited to share it with you all! This project was on my mind for so long and I finally managed to finish it. Stay tuned for second part where I will be decorating the carrier and of course for some new content with Topson terrorizing the civilians and attempting malicious acts.

Ahh thank you ☺️💛

First off I had to skin my boom. This is a pretty good tutorial: http://www.bot-thoughts.com/2013/03/furby-disassembly-part-1.html?m=1

After that I needed to obtain the face plate. It was a case of going in blind and unscrewing everything. Truthfully I had no clue what I was doing, I just tried to figure it out as I went. After being stumped for a while by a hard to reach screw I managed to get it off and removed the electronics.

On the inside of the face plate I used tracing paper to mark out the position and the size of the eyes and made the eye chips slightly larger to be sure they fit. I used photo paper for a better quality print. I cut them out and glued them onto some paper I had cut to fit the area behind the eyes and secured this and the clear plastic with contact adhesive.

I hope I've answered your question. If you're still unsure or curious about anything feel free to message and I'll try my best to help 😊

Furby 1998's repair method and clothing patterns were introduced in a doll book recently released in Japan.

I immediately made a slight adaptation of the included pattern 🪡✨

So happy with how pretty it turned out! 🥹🎉

I've been seeing a lot of furby in Japan lately!
