As someone who's never sewn anything in years and has never looked up content on sewing, idk why this video was recommended to me... but I had to click to point out how genius of a name sew&tell is.
Just finished! I'm absolutely a beginner at sewing, but here's some tips (some not necessary) for anyone who wants to make this: • When using the template to cut his outline out, make sure to make his arms more pronounced! Add a bigger curve to his arms, or he'll look a little nubby. Same with feet, but be careful. I know Totoro's stubby but my finished product looks limbless, lol. I wish I cut out his arms bigger 😭 •Optional: add a backing to this insides. My grandma helped a lot with this project, and INSISTED it must have a lining. I bought 4 yards of cheap white muslin to line it (the body, belly, and ears). It'll make him less lumpy when you fill it, and more secure. • Don't add a zipper unless you make the ears and body one unit. I actually bought a zipper with the intention of sewing it on, but I realized I can't wash the plush anyways because I sewed the ears on stuffed separate. You can't submerge the stuffing at all, so I ended up not sewing a zipper because I couldnt wash it anyways. But if you think you'll refill it, it may still be worth it. • For fun! Put pipe cleaner in the whiskers instead of stuffing. It makes the whiskers less limp and more flexible. • I highly recommend leaving the hole for stuffing him between the ears on the head. It makes hand sewing on the whiskers 10 times easier because you can reach in through the head. • I found that 15 lbs of Polyfill was the perfect amount. I wanted a super squishy Totoro, but if you want more or less it's up to you. (Also double the quantity of black felt, I ran out of space for the whiskers). Super fun project! I love my new Totoro 😊 Beats paying hundreds of dollars for one.
I made this! Just finished today actually 😁 it's the smaller version, about three feet tall. I hand embroidered his face details (it was too small to sew on with felt) and added a zipper to the back! I love how he turned out, he's so big and soft and cuddly 🤗 cost me about $25 in materials, which was great, considering these retail for like $200
This idea was so cute. I wanted to make it right away and when my goddaughter said she wanted a Totoro room I decided to make it as her Christmas gift. It’s bigger than she is and she loves it. Thank you so much.
I don't have the right color fabric or skills to make this, but it inspired me to make a simple yet HUGE pillow. It's the largest thing I've ever sewn, and I'm glad I made it. You inspired me!
CUTE!! You could leave the ears as main body and stuff a little at a time, then do a top stitch between the ears and body. I've done this with dolls that have individual fingers. You just make stitches and cut between them, then flip right side out.
This video was amazing! A lot of time and effort went into this project! That is the definition of a very successful UA-camr! You just earned yourself a new sub🤗 but you deserve a billion more!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello! I'd love to have the Totoro template. But don't really want to make my email public. Can you please put in the link and let me know? Thank you so much!,
Me: *looks up “how to make totoro plush”* *expects a ton of videos for tiny plushies” *gets this instead* Me: *has never loved anything more* UwU 😍😍😍💗💓💗💓
I love what you did on what you did BUT I would really,really,REALLY, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to see you make “Flying Bison” Bed/Pillow from the Last Airbender Series
Wow! You're sooo talented! I could never do something like that by my own. Because of this, I want to ask you, if you could make a DIY that's easier than this. Do you know what I mean? I think you know...
* walks into textiles class * _"Ms Peterson, I have a project for the class.."_ its now sitting in the corner of our textiles classroom watching over us, disgusted by our terrible cosplays because my teacher is a f**king weeb.
that was beautiful. so happy i found this on you tube. thank you for sharing! for sharing your inside beauty, having the courage to express it, and share it to others!
I watched totaro like 5000 times I have the disk I have all of studio Chibis movies like castle In the sky and many more I'm planning to make this thank you for showing me this
Totes excited to make this, thanks for sharing! I'm a newbie with a sewing machine but just made a plush size totoro for my son and sooo ready to give this big guy a go. Although just priced it up and realise I MUST not mess it up! 😂 Love your videos!
could you also do this as a bean bag? like doing all these steps but adding a zipper to put all the beans in? would it work out the same or?? (asking as a question)
Well, technically you should, you can put an invisible zipper on the 5" gap she mentioned, and when you flip it around you will have the hole to fill it with the beans, I believe it should be the same process

Oh my gosh. I love it so much!! This is literally the best desing I've seen. You're an angel for sharing the template. I'm going to try your DIY for a Christmas present
I got my nephew Totoro for his first birthday in March and it’s his favorite movie (I’m so proud the boy has taste). I’ve never sewed before but I am DETERMINED to make him this for Christmas.
I know this is random, but I'm trying to make this guy for a cosplay accessory, do you remember how much polyfil you used? I don't wanna end up buying to much and having my cat eat it.
sew&tell well i am doing it slowly because i am so busy at work and like its a surprise I cant let her see it until is done ;-; but i will finish and give it to her i know
I think a better option is to put a zipper on it so that it can be washed and restuffed any case any thing happens
Then I would be able to get inside him if robbers break into my house
Good thinking.
@@oppositereality3792 lol yaaass
Might steal it to lol
what if they steal it and you
hinata3487 OMG I LOVE FAIRYTAIL

I think we can all agree that my neighbor Totoro is an amazing movie
Abbie Smith yup!!
Look at my profile picture!!!
Abbie Smith legit the movie is great.

Good luck!
Good luck I could have relate with my first machine!
Oof
Never had a sewing machine seems really complicated to me since I'm used to hand sewing and all.
I'm putting all the money I get for babysitting and buying all the materials for Totoro and makeing HIM my new bed
awww you should definitely do that :)
Good luck
Did you do It? lol

Who can hate Totoro?
Nobody can. He's too awesome
They might just not be into crafting
The directions arent that good.
@@spicybeantofu ears are way off too
JJ they were in so much shock that they accedently hit it
Disliked it because she said tortoro disrespecting him like that

I don't care if it matches with my future home decor or not, but I HAVE to have this somewhere in it. This is everything
Hahaha you can always work your decor around totoro :)
OOOH DO A GIANT PUSHEEN!!!!
Omg yess

Yes yes yes yes
Hungry Hippo San OMG YOU GENIUS

Do you know what I mean? I think you know...
Aww thank you !! I will try to come up with something that only requires hand sewing or gluing ♥️♥️♥️
sew&tell how about sell your creative creations to those who can’t or don’t wanna make it? ❤️👍🏽
0:08 your hair!!!! Is so awesome, I love it 😭❤️ Also the Totoro is cute.
aww thank you! i kinda miss the grey
This is a great video on an ambitious project!! Thank you for taking the time to do it. It came out great!
aww thank you! glad you enjoyed it :)
I would've tried leaving the top on the stomach part open so that I could slide in and snuggle 😂
that would be really cute too!! :)

Well, technically you should, you can put an invisible zipper on the 5" gap she mentioned, and when you flip it around you will have the hole to fill it with the beans, I believe it should be the same process
