LAST WEEK it as was @qweety and @prizedrawings Birthdays! SO I drew Waiterpede, Sam, and Chuck, because bless, those two are wonderful humans and it was the least I could do. Keep up the good work, my wonderful human friends. 

ive been going through a lot and it’s all been so interesting and exciting and?? ive loved college so far but im so far away from my closest friends ive ever had and talking to somebody and having the emotional release of crying felt so important to me

BWUH THANKS GUYS FOR YUR CONCERNS AND STUFF i appreciate it ;u;/

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [chuck is a highly acceptable alternative too]

meatfart : Most people ask about getting a plushie, not process. ^^; So I very much appreciate the questions! Well, I pattern out via lots of drawing and trial an error with new pieces. For rounded pieces I prefer the bend of paper itself to sort of origami it beforehand. I have admittedly been sewing for the better part of 18-19 years at this point and so it's much easier for me to visualize from refs and know what my fabric is capable of. It all comes with practice. The best brands for sewing machines are Bernina, Janome and Huskys are alright (though, my last one's tension got messed up because of how much sewing I do). And I use poly thread, but I only buy Guterman because it makes less fuzz (and keeps the inside of a machine in better working order) than cheaper brands like Coats & Clark. Funny story about learning the ladder stitch. I took a home ec class when I was 14 and our teacher had us make these country pumpkins out of calico cottons. It had 8 wedges that each needed to be stuffed and then ladder stitched closed. I swore when I finished it never again. Hahaha. Look at me now! xD

meatfart: Too fun of a question not to publicly answer! I used to use plain copier paper for my patterns, but paper doesn't hold up too well being used over and over. I have recently been using 65lb card stock. And all my patterns have base pieces which I cut out of 100lb card stock to be extra durable. I organize the bits and pieces that make each weeformer into their particular character in envelopes. So far that's been the best way for me to keep organized. I have a Necchi but it's actually a rebranded Janome Memory Craft 6300. I bought it November 2013, and it's been a dream to sew with. Before that I was using a Husqvarna that I was given by my mother in 1996. Quality machines do make it easier to sew. Janome is a great brand with lots of bells and whistles for the price. Thanks for the fun question!
