Today i finished up all the sewing on the pineapple dittos and did the majority of the smores! I still have 3 more sets of smores to do tomorrow, as they take quite a bit of time - even though i machine sew the graham crackers on now, each smore has to have its seam line traced on, graham crackers pinned in place and sewn, and then the whole plush has to be pinned together and sewn!
I'll be ...
Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
With the design finalized, today i focused on production of the pineapple dittos! All the sublimation was done and fabric was prepared for sewing. This involves tracing the stitching line onto the back of the fabric, pinning the leaves to the head, and then pinning the front and back sides of the fabric together. I'll be sewing together the pineapple...
A relative or prequel to the pineapple upside down cake ditto? π€ you decide!
This is a new design for my summer ditto series! Featuring felt leaves, which thankfully my silhouette cameo can cut out for me π€ he can be pineapple scented upon request!
I'm currently shooting for Saturday, July 22 as the shop drop date. If i get behind schedule i might push it back to the 29th!
Happy friday eve!
Today i got all the sublimation done for the smores! Since i got the graham crackers cut out last night, I'll be flipping them right side out today. With my new process of making the smores these need to be done before sewing them together!
I also mixed up some scents for this drop - a 3rd scent is there, for a new baby that has been started and will be revealed soon π...
Happy hump day!
I got a ton of work done today! πͺπ€ i finished sewing together all of the watermelon babies and doing the embroidery for all the smores graham crackers.
I made a test smores because i was adamant to find a way to machine sew the graham crackers onto the plush because i hate hand sewing so much π luckily, my idea worked out! I'll share how i did it in a future tuto...
Hey all! Hope you're having a good week, and I'm sure some of you have the day off today! I actually ended up taking yesterday off and working today instead π
I started the summer dittos!! I got all the sublimation done for the watermelon dittos which are returning this year! The design is printed onto special sublimation paper using dye instead of printer ink. Then the paper is pressed ...
Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! I spent the day at the beach and then came home and finished packing up the first round of July rewards and burgles! So many packages!! πͺπ€ thank you all as always! There are still some burgles left in my patreon shop for anyone interested!
I'll be dropping everything off tomorrow! I need to find a better box before i drop my spaghetti all over...

what have you guys been up to this month? did you make anything cool? what are you looking forward to?
i'll be starting summer ditto production next week, so i know what my july is going to look like!!
2023-06-30 16:54:00 +0000 UTC View Postwe're closing in on the end of the month! that means lots of patreon work for me right now. here's the schedule for the next few days:
Friday, 6/30
Burgle pattern is released!
Saturday, 7/1
July rewards go into effect!
How could i resist adding my favorite hedgehog to July's pattern reward? This hedgehog popsicle sewing pattern will come with both sonic and shadow variants!
I'll be streamlining shadow's embroidery a bit to remove the applique on the upturned spines, as it doesnt show too much and results in some tricky alignment that's unnecessary because of the color blocking on the gusset!
Today i made the first prototype of July's pattern reward: a melting sonic popsicle!
Clearly the florida heat has been very inspiring to me, because i feel exactly like this popsicle today π©βοΈ IT'S SO HOT!!
I have a couple minor edits to make but I'm very happy with this silly fella. The best part is you can put the eyes anywhere you want!
this pattern will come with a 4x4 embro...
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
I started the day sending out another round of fry stickers and making some more popsicle stickers for July rewards!
Then i made a tutorial post on sewing opposing curves- very relevant to the burgle pattern that releases this Friday!
I also finished up the video for the burgle instructions which ended up being 30 min long, and the wr...
a beautiful desert rose, cactus ditto was chosen as july's ditto plush for those in the ditto tier π΅
she comes with a planter to live in and pompom rocks! each cactus is a bit unique due to the sublimation!

popsicle ditto is here to welcome summer π as a floridian, i've been feeling like this ditto for a month now π«
popsicle ditto remains one of my most popular ditto designs, and he has been on my list as a sticker reward ever since i decided to make a sticker tier! i hope he can bring a smile to your face even in the heat π₯

Happy Tuesday! It is SO HOT omg its already over 100 here in floridaπ©
Thankful for my AC, I made the minky burgle today! I like to have a mochi and minky example for my patterns. Of course, mochi will make the roundest and squishiest burgle but minky is very cute too!
I'll be working on the July dittos next!
A new sugary friend! Macarons are one of my favorite desserts so i couldn't resist making one!
This macaron turtle was made with my burger turtle pattern by mixing and matching different pattern pieces and using a sherpa fabric as the feet of the macaron! I'll include brief instructions in the pattern to make this fella, on top of all the detailed burgle instructions!
hey all!
since patreon's method of navigating old posts is so bad, i've created a post archive of all of my tips & tutorial posts at the bottom of the monthly rewards post. it's organized by subject.
this archive will be updated as i post new tips, and it will be copied over with each new monthly reward entry.
I did it! I met my goal of finishing up the footage for the burgle instructions today. I'll be making one more out of minky to make sure it looks OK, but then I'll be moving on to the July rewards!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I have a friend coming in from out of town so I'm very excited! π₯° have anything fun planned?
hey all! the last couple days i've continued work tweaking and recording footage for the burgle pattern instructions. i record videos and take photos and use a combination of both for the instructions. i hope i'll be able to finish all that tomorrow! then, i'll work on the written & video instructions throughout the rest of the month.
for all those interested in buying a burgle, i'll ...
