So I've just been into sewing a lot recently. Before this I made a huge version of one of my favorite benie babies and I thought that makeing a small cusom plush would be an eaiser second project HA.

I started with a pattern I found on pintrest but what I ended up makeing has been modified. I used minky and hand sewed it (because I don't have a sewing machine)

I cut out felt face details and embroidered them down for more detail. Unfortunately his face shifted and ended up askew but it looks ok on the final version. The little paws were really dificult, I probobly wouldn't do them again unless I was makeing an actual cat plush. It's probobly obvious, but i'd reccomend doing details first and THEN cutting out the peices. Don't be like me.

I drafted out the hair myself. There were some mistakes and a twisty learning curve but over all i'm really proud of it. My favorite part is the little mini pony tail swoop on the back.

I managed to get my hands on a few bags of beans and I reccomend useing beans if possible because it has given him such a nice weight

Originally I had tried to give him little thumbs but I his big mittens were makeing him really hard to dress so I ended up makeing his arms smaller.
