wowowowo HE HE HE

If you're like me, then you like developing overly complex backstories for your characters. One thing I like to do is give them birthdays. It can be a difficult process, but thankfully when it comes to Furbies some of the work is already done!

All Furbies have these little green stickers on the bottom of their boxes and inside their battery compartments, these are used by the factories and hold a lot of information such as their factory code and the day they were finished and ready to be shipped to stores (which I refer to as their birthday)

If you still have your Furby's box, look at the underside to see if there's a green sticker taped on it. If yours doesn't have a sticker for any reason, or if you don't have their original box, you can usually find another green sticker inside your Furby's battery compartment. Shown below is my Patriotic Furby Liberty's box, with the green sticker.

It's a bit hard to read due to the box being over twenty years old, but it's at least still legible. It says, "C015A1499A". The first string, "C015A", is the factory code for a WT Furby, but what we're focusing on is the second string, "1499A". This will be your Furby's birthday.

The first three numbers correspond to the day of the year (1-364, 365 for the year 2000) and the last number is the year itself (8, 9, 0, 1, 2; 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 respectively). So according to this formula, Liberty's birthday is the 149th day of 1999. But what was the 149th day of 1999?

Go to epochconverter.com/days/*insert year here* (in this case 1999)

It will take you to a chart listing the date in the leftmost column and what day of the year it is in the second left column

Scroll down until you see the number that's on your sticker (1-364, 365 for the year 2000). That's your Furby's birthday! So for Liberty, her birthday is May 29th, 1999 ^^

Do you have a 1998/99 adult furby that desperately need to get out of the house but has a tendency to wander off? Have you tried putting your furby in a backpack or a purse but wished that your little buddy could see the world with you? Well look no further! I’ve made up a crochet pattern for a furby carrying sling-thing and I’m here to share with all of you!

So if you know how to read crochet patterns and want to make something like this:

Then follow the pattern under the cut!

Happy Holidays from the Bastards!

A continuation of the eighth theme, just with funky colors!!

If you have any suggestions for more recolors, just send me an ask!

If you do use any of these, I’d love to see what you make!!

Supplies: -fabric (preferably non stretchy or hard to work with like the kind I used >_<) -hot glue gun + glue (if you don’t want to or can’t sew) -sticky back Velcro - ribbon for the neck part & some trim for the bottom -scissors

Measure out 13in in length of your fabric and about 4in in width; cut a slight curve from the bottom to the top where the ribbon will go

If your furb has a tail and you would like it to poke out, cut up about halfway at around the 7in mark and down into a 2in triangle shape

Leave some excess ribbon on the ends, about half an inch for the Velcro closure. Be very slow and careful as you hot glue the ribbon on, starting with the inside of the cape, then folding it over the fabric and glue the ‘right side’/outer part of the cape (not trying to scare you, but there is a pretty good chance you might burn yourself a little, so ask for help if you need it)

Follow the instructions for the sticky back Velcro and cut a small piece for the closure and attach it to the ribbon ends (trim the excess at an angle to make it look nice)

Add decorative rope, lace, feathers, any kind of fun trim to the bottom, and then you are done!

n_n Hope this helps and if you have some sewing skills, at least you will be able to see what dimensions I used and can ignore the rest. Have fun and if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
