Hi
Can you make one of this videos but sewing one of your characters?
@@ArtsyAxolotl105 hii!
@@mariangaxiola1634 That's a great idea!! I was thinking of doing that eventually once I get the hang of sewing different kinds of animals :)
I wish I had a draw your journal
Not trying to be mean just what I found easy when making plushies is doing the eyes before stuffing and also for ur 3rd one it’s really good so keep it up it took me three years to get good and still don’t think I’m amazing yet 😂
Hii! I don't like to do the eyes before I stuff it because I feel like the stuffing changes the shape of the face too much. I feel like I can't tell where I'm putting the eyes until after it's been stuffed, but that's really just my personal preference :). And thanks!
I sew the plastic disc in with a couple of stitches for my noses and eyes, so they don't move. But I always add the eyes after stuffing too.
@@bellamena You could stuff the head, punch the holes/mark them, take the stuffing out, put the eyes and nose in, stuff it again, and then stitch it up!!! Oh wait... am I complicating things? Too much? 😂🥰😏
I always do eyes or small details first and yes sometimes even when I do a plush it ends up with uneven eyes or nose or even mouth. Then I have to fix it afterwards cause of that reason. lol
@@bellamena where’s the tail??
A tip for cutting fur is actually only cut the backing because it will be less messy, and then you won't have that blunt edge on the fur. You can use a blade, or just be careful and slow to cut the backing only. Another tip is to not sew over your pins, because you can actually break a needle by doing that. I know breaking a needle isn't a terrible thing, but it can cost money that is unnecessary if you can prevent it. Taking the needles out as you sew along is the best way to prevent breaking needles.
I see other people sewing over pins, but EVERY time I do it I break my needle.
@@melsterifficmama1808 yea any professional seamstress will tell you to never sew over pins
Ya maybe if you are not comfortable do a light hand sew 🪡 with open ends that you can pull after machine sewing
It’s also dangerous, I broke a needle and it came flying towards my face and almost hit me in the eye, thankfully I reflexly blinked but I was super close to getting a broken needle lodged into my eyeball…
That’s so good!!! I need a hobby, and I’ve officially named sewing cute little stuffies to the list 😊
Ahh it's so fun!! You totally should try it :)
You just keep on getting better each episode of sewing stuffed animals!! ❤❤
ahh thanks!!
@@bellamena I agree u keep getting better!
9:36 I am very happy for you. I've sewn stuffed animals and made my own patterns for many things. When something accidently or on purpose turns out great, it is a huge victory!! So here I am, celebrating with you!! Also, just in general, this turned out sew cute! (Like that pun? I had to) seriously tho, so cute!
It's funny, I started fixing/customising bears right before you started this series & I love it!
One thing I've learned in my research is that the best way to cut fur fabric is to use snips and only cut the back of the fabric, not the fur itself. It's less messy and looks smoother too 💙
We need an additional video how to rightly cut the fur fabric. Someone demonstrated half way for me , so if backing is cut then how front will cut ?
@@anandi483 That's a good question. As far as I can tell, it's more that the fibres separate when the back is cut, rather than actually cutting. I've only done it a couple of times on long pile faux fur fabric & it worked fine!
I'm loving this sewing series!! The elephant was adorably charming. Great job
These are so inspiring. Makes me want to make my own stuffies! I love this series.
This is so cute! I'm super glad it worked out so that the elephant is sitting down, what a happy accident. Can't wait to see what you do next; you've already improved so much
Ah thank you!! I know right?! I was so excited when I accidentally got it to sit down 😂 🐘 🐘 🐘 I'm glad you're enjoying this series, I'm excited to make more :)
@@bellamena It's a pleasure, really! I could hear how happy you were, bless you
I absolutely love this elephant! I know he was just made, but he already looks like he's been well-loved by some little kid. So charming! I hope you continue to create these little stuffies. They're all so cute!!!!
He looks so snuggley! I love the fabric that you used. It reminds me of a very soft stuffed animal for a baby.
very adorable!! love the lil guy
Girl you're doing so good!!! I'm honestly so excited to see you keep going!!!
Also I mark where I want my eyes, then use a seam ripper to create a small hole. It works pretty well for me.
This turned out adorably!!!
The trick to sewing small pieces out of fun fur is cling wrap. The glad wrap that sticks to itself works great to seal the edges so you can accurately keep them together. Plus the crinkly adds an additional texture.
It’s giving me cute aggression-I LOVE it 😩😍
YEASSS I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR SEWING VIDEOS YOUR PLUSHES ARE THE CUTEST
This is my favorite one so far. It is the cutest thing.
Omg it's so cute!! I want to do this now! Elephants are my favorite animal so this just makes my day.
I make videos on how to make plush toys
You can check them out to help you if you'd like 😁
Ahh thanks!! Elephants are adorable and extremely smart :)
Omg! Wait Bellamena responded to my comment!! Ahhhhhh
This is the cutest little elephant! Thank you for such a great video!
The elephant looks incredible! It's really cute and sewn professionally. You're so good at this
The elephant turned out so cute
So cuteeee !! This one is my fav so far. Reminds me of Dumbo. Good job, Marissa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Elephants are my favourite animal, so I was very excited watching this video. And it turned out so freaking cute! ❤️
Hi, you should try to crochet if you have not already. I personally find it so fun and it is a great hobby. Btw I loved the video ❤
So cute! My daughter and I watch your videos and we can’t wait to see more sewing. 😊
I love it when a mistake is made, but turns out it helped! I take it as that is how it was destined to be, that you are on the right track. Good sewing, what a cutie he turned out to be!
This is EASILY your best one!!!
Awe he’s so cute and fluffy
Elephants are my favorite 😍 I love this it turned out so cute!!
This is SUCH a cute idea!!!
Thanks!!
This turned out so cute, good job.
Such a cute elephant!!!
As an elephant lover and always have been, OMGGG SO CUTE!!!!
I love this series!
That is one of the cutest elephant 🐘 stuffed ive seen ❤️
By far the cutest thing you've made in my opinion😻🐘🐘🐘🐘
I am so happy how it look ❤
It’s a very good effort and educational motivational for us , I believe while making an art piece we need to be open for surprises❤
I love this so much it turned out so cute! I can't wait for the next one!
Thanks!!
@@bellamena gah Ur my idol I can't believe u actually REPLIED to my comment 😭✋❤️
This is my favorite one by far 😍😍
WOW. Just wow.
This is your best plush yet
I’m interested in making my own plushies, thank you for this 😁
hii! my tip for sewing the smaller shapes like the ears is to trace out the template on the fabric then to cut a large square around it. that way you have more fabric available to hold on to when sewing. you just have to cut off the excess before turning it inside out
This is so good!! I make fluffy sock plushies but this!?!? I don’t think I would ever have the talent to do this!!
Omg it turned out so cuuuute!!!!
Your videos are so fun! I am a new subscriber and am loving your channel! This plushie is so cute!
Awwww, it's really cute!
The elephant looks so adorable!! I love him! 🥺💕
Love the elephant it’s my fave out of all the plushies😊
Super cute!!
Omg! It is super cute!!
THATS SO GOOD
lololololo... You do things the way I do. Thank goodness there are people like you and I.. This was so funny.I just subscribed.
yeah i'm subscribing too!
Since you scanned this pattern to store it, would it be possible to make it available for us? It's so cute and I'd love to see my own little elephant but I don't trust my own pattern making skills 😂
It's easiest to get the stuffing into the limbs if you use something like a pencil or chopstick. :)
So cute you did amazing great job!😃😃😃😃
I love that elephant so damn much! He's the cutest little sitting thing.
Idea suggestion: I think you should make tarot cards of your characters, at least the major arcana. Maybe one per video so its not overwhelming and is a long lasting series.
Thank you so much for simplifying how to make pattern. I'm making Pink Panther doll using the technique, where you just guess and figure out how big you want it. It took a couple hours to sew out the fabric and sew it together in general but I think it's adorable and I'll remember this technique for making anything really. I'm a beginner and just got my sewing machine and now I love to learn and figure things out and see what I can make. So thank you again. Your the best.
This is the cutest ellie! I love it! ❤️ You make it look so easy. I just look at a sewing machine and get scared 😂
Wait I loved this video so much!!! I love elephants!! Also I see with my two eyes that you have reached 100k!!?!!?!? CONGRATS GIRLLLL!!!!! Cant wait for you to earn your silver play button! You deserve it after all the hard work you've done! Congrats!!!🥳🥳🥳
AWE!!!! He’s so cute!!!🐘
LOVE YOUR INTRO SONG!!!
I think technically a gusset is any piece of fabric, usually along a seam, that adds breath or just strengthens the joints. This can be on clothing pieces, or help with the curvature of very filled up shapes like a doll or teddy's head.
I don't think there is a general word for...the intangible, bilateral symmetrical line around the medius of the human head. So you could invent your own word lol.
You can save your fabric scraps, cut them up and add them to the poly-fill. It's a great way to save money. It's also great for old clothes that can't be donated because it's stained or torn, etc.
I love that - 0⃣ waste!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuute 😍
Ahhhhhh I am so glad you like it!!🐘 🐘 🐘
Thanks for making this video.
I love your sewing videos ❤
Omg I love it girl it so looks like a plushie you would buy at a store! ♥️♥️😍 If no one knew it was hand made , you are just making the best plush!
OMG it is so CUTE!
This is to cute Bella!! 💕💕
ahhh thanks!! So glad you like it 🐘 🐘 🐘 🐘
@@bellamena your welcome! ❤️
Omg he's SO CUTE. You are amazing! So talented. Can't believe its been almost a year since I found your channel. Love every single video!
The Elephant is so adorable! omgggg 💙💙💙
Thank youu!!
It's so adorable 😍
U Tried your best❤. Lovely ❤
This turned out AMAZING! So adorable! I’ve been thinking of making a parrot stuffed animal but I am still trying to gather as much info before I begin 😂 I love your channel ❤
What a cute elephant!🤩 I would recomend to remove the pins as you go when sewing. You don't want to hit a pin with the sewing needle, it can easily break and fly away🙈
NEED MORE OF THOSE PLEASAAASE!!!
It’s so cute!
Hey I love the word periwinkle!
Oml, why is this SO CUTE, sorry I'm so late to this....Lovin it
Omg!! SO CUTE!!! LOVE UR VIDS I CANT WAIT FOR MORE OF THESE VIDS!!! ❤❤🥺
So cute!❤
Love it!
Thanks!!
He’s so cute and fluffy!! Happy accidents are the best 😍🐘
I love it so much.
So cute. I've been sewing for 20 years and have no idea how to make patterns.
Wow I love it
3:39 meanwhile periwinkle is on the list for my top 5 favourite words 🤪
Would it be alright if I gave you some tips?
First, if you want to make sure the pattern will connect the way you like, you can pin all the whole paper pattern together to see if it all connects well. But if you like to live dangerously, then totally cool! And you're actually REALLY good at guessing how the pattern will go together!
Two, if you want the plushie to pet from head to back or pet how you want the plushie to be pet, then draw an arrow the direction you want that part to pet, and then pin it to the fabric the way you want it to pet!
And three, with long furry fabric like that, when you stitch that fabric together it'll get caught in the stitching, but if you want to hide that seam, then take a needle or a pin, and carefully take the fur out of the seam! If you're having trouble finding anymore fur to take out of the seams then rub the seam with the sharp bit of the pin/needle, and it'll show start to show the little hairs that you missed to take out!
(Also, furry fabric like that will bunch up over time, but you can take a pet brush and brush it with that and it'll go back to the fluffiness the way it used to be!)
I hope these help! And if you don't want to use these techniques, then that it totally cool!!
(Also, your elephant is adorable!!!!!)
Love it!😃😃😃😃
What type of stitch is the machine on when you’re stitching the pieces together?
It’s so cute omg ❤❤❤❤
You did great I really like it 😂 lot's of love from New Jersey 💕
Ah thanks!!
#insidingitout 😂 I love it and this is definitely my favorite of the last few you’ve done!
The elephant is so cute!!!!!!
Well, THAT'S adorable! I noticed you left off the tail. Perhaps a piece of gray cord is in order? You can even fray the end for his little tuft.
The elephant looks so cute 🥰 ❤
Thanks Taysia!
