My Etsy!

Finished!! I gave him the little curvy bits on the edge of his smile as well as a curvy tail and voila! This project was a huge undertaking but so so fun and I love how it turned out! Best part is that I created the pattern myself as I went along so he is 100% one of a kind! I shipped him to the client this afternoon and I hope that she loves him as much as I do ❤️ #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #plushie #handstitched #sewing #commission #minkyfabric #felt #thisturnedoutgreat #finallyfinished #ilovethislittleguy #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAioBxynOWl/?igshid=13l8tlym8qzqt

Aaaaaand there's a face! I cut the eyes down a bit to accommodate the roundness of the face. The face is made of felt and I just did a topstitch to attach them. #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #plushie #handstitched #commission #nearlycomplete #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAinfPdH4F_/?igshid=18j8q82lk68rx

I sewed all the appendages on!! All that was left at this point was his face and tail! I was very excited. Not pictured was the first attempt at attaching the head... It was very bobbly and it took some maneuvering to fix it, but I succeeded! #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #plushie #handstitched #commission #soclose #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAinOg4HWLA/?igshid=3o75ht0rqymh

I finally realized that I hadn't tested the original idea with the newly added darts, so I sewed the belly up again after putting darts in the bottom of the original back piece I cut and then pinned everything in place. I sent it to my client and she approved it! #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #plushie #handstitched #somanypins #minkyfabric #commission #finallyfigureditout #almostfinished #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAim8EaHoa7/?igshid=7uw9n0cte5eg

This is the only pic I have of my next idea. I thought if I cut a niche into it that I could rest his head in it and it would look like the second image. It. Did. Not. I seam ripped it and changed tactics again. #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #handstitched #minkyfabric #commission #thatdidntgoasplanned #backtothedrawingboard #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAimUwJn7Zj/?igshid=7w5dm04s06ds

I decided what I needed were darts. I'd never done darts before, so I took to the internet to learn how to make them. Then I applied them to the head pieces I'd already cut and the difference was amazing! #kidsnextdoor #rainbowmonkey #plushie #handstitched #commission #minkyfabric #darts #learnedsomethingnew #theinternetisagoodteacher #fizzyfroglegs_creations https://www.instagram.com/p/CAicNAGHQbA/?igshid=l62hmrchx5em
