- Hii! In today's video, I worked on sewing stuffed animals. I sewed my own custom plush from scratch by attempting to make my own sewing pattern / template.

I think the stuffed animal looks really adorable but the whiskers are missing.😘😊
I think baby blue turned out so great❤❤❤
Draw your Journal is so cool 😎
I lover how marisa is brave enough to try new things and put herself out there
Aw thank you!!
I just love how each time she sews another plushie, it just turns out better and better.
Aw thanks! That's the goal at least✨️✨️ I'm glad you think I'm improving
@@bellamena your elephant was so cute!
@@bellamenaI loved all your plushies
For the eyes and nose, it’s a lot easier if you snap them in place before you stuff and then stuff it afterwards. Love your videos!!
Ahh thanks!! So glad you liked this video!! I was worried to put the nose/eyes in before I has stuffed it because I wasn't sure I could tell where the "right" place was for it 😅
Chopsticks or pencils are a necessity when working with flipping or stuffing small parts on a plush.
Please keep doing these!!! I love that you are finding something a little different to make a niche in.
I'm struggling to sew a simple patch, I'm so inspired by your skills 😭💗
Kinda looks like a beanie baby!
Omg thank you. This is the highest if compliments. I used to loveeee beanie babies 😆😂
@@bellamena i collect them still!!!
YASS GURL- this is *amazing* we NEED a series of this ✨masterpiece✨
Ahh thanks!! I low key want to do another one of these videos this week. I'm kind of obsessed LOL. Hopefully it's not too many in a row.......... but I must. Make. More. Stuffed. Animals. 😂😂
Literally do what *you* want...honestly this channel is YOURS dont let anyone let u think otherwise...
I think it's absolutely adorable!! But my only tip would be pay attention to fur direction.. his body and tail the fur is going backwards and makes it look a little bit off lol but still incredibly adorable!
It’s a munchkin kitty!! 💙💙
Ahh yes!! That solves the short leg problem😂
I love this plushie. I've never made a plushie pattern from scratch but I've made monster high doll lolita dresses. Plus I'm much more confident with my clothes sewing skills than my plushie sewing skills.
Honestly loving these sewing videos
Ah yay!! I love them too! I low key want to do another one this week. I'm obsessed lol
I love the paint pour fabric, it’s reminding me of a rainbow-y oil spill 😊❤
It's such a fun fabric! I found it in Joanns ans immediately had to buy it. It's like my dream paint pour results lol 😆
whiskers would definitely help it look more like a cat imo. You could either use more string (like a webkinz) or those thin plastic whisker things plushies sometimes use.
That is so true! I'll gave to figure out whiskers in another video :)
I grew up in the Midwest (Ohio and Wisconsin) and everyone I know has used the phrase “in-siding something out” so you’re not alone
Omg! thank you! I feel so validated LOL
Really impressed with how this little dude turned out. Love your vids, great job!
Thanks Grace!!
Wow, 🤩it’s so good! Way better than last week. The fabric definitely helped. ❤
Ahh yay!! Thanks!! So glad you think I improved :)
Such a cute little Kitty! Super impressive.
I crochet teddies for my dogs and my moms dog. I’d love love to try this and maybe take it further and make dog clothes etc.
So fun to watch. You have great content.
That cat plush is so adorable. You did such a great job.
Ahh thanks Hollie!! So glad you like it
Baby Blue is so cute!!
I love him
Ahhh thanks!! Bb blue
It turned out so cute!!! Can't wait for the next project ❤️ also you're amazing and I'm glad I found you through Moriah!
My friend just got me draw your journal and a whole bunch of markers.
PS I absolutely love plushies and this is so cute.
Ah wow! That is awesome!! Hope you enjoy the book!
One thing that helps me when drawing plushies is exaggeration, particularly on small body parts like feet. Once they're stitched and turned they're only going to get smaller, so over-doing them in the pattern helps them be a better size on the final creation.
I LOVE baby blue!!! Although, from the front it gives chihuahua vibes❤ so cute! Nice job!!
Woah your sowing skills are so good, I wish 😭
You should try one of your squishes into a plush 🤭
Myself and my six-year-old enjoyed this immensely, and I kept saying you should use a pointy stick thingy to invert some of those pieces. And green you grabbed a pencil perfect
Imma be real for a second. I’ve been in a slump lately and can’t bring myself to continue a sewing project I started nearly 5 months ago. Just like this video, I was trying to make my own pattern and had a very specific “mathematical” way of going about it. I don’t know what it is. Seeing this video and seeing how you did it so straightforward made me feel like I wanted to be you, even for a moment if it meant that I could get my project going again. I start my semester next week and feel as though I’m going to have to ignore my creative side for another 4 months (same reason why no progress was made for the first 5). Kinda feel like giving up on being creative all together
When I make a plush I tend to use plastic eyes and noses, but a lot of times I use felt to create eyes. It's easier to do it when it's not stuffed, but you really have to mark the eyes because otherwise they can end up uneven. I also have that exact same pack of noses and eyes lol and yes it's very hard to use them.
This kitty is really cute in the end.
As they say, the more you do these, the better they get.
Ahh thanks!!
@@bellamena Also I myself have had some tricky points when I got back into sewing, but you get better when you know.
it looks so good?????? i feel like making patterns is so hard, you did such a good job!!!!
I love it!!! Not going to lie it look so much fun you should make a other one
Baby blue IS no different from any other cat... he loves HIS box 🐱📦
He turned out so cute.
This is so good! I love it I wish they let me sew this stuff at the job I sewed coats at
What a great job!!!
How cute! Love the colors!
Thanks Tina!!
That looks great! I just have one tip. When you are sewing, make sure the fur is facing backwards. It makes it more realistic
Thanks!! That is a good note, ill try to remember that next time :)
You're crazy... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !
I am obsessed with this series! 😍
Aww he's cute. This was fun, I like the sewing videos.
He's so cute!! His face reminds me a lot of a classic beanie baby
Ahh thanks!! Omg that is the highest compliment lol, I used to love beanie babies 😂✨️
Super cute!
I love these sewing vidoes!
I really think it looks like a chihuahua, very cute
Aaaah!! Look at you go!! And you got the smooth minky!!! Def a HUGE improvement!!
Okay, so here's another tip. Pay attention to the nap and stretch of the fur. Knowing where and how your fabric stretches will help you plan the direction of your pieces. Which will allow you to get fuller, rounder shapes :)
I'm self taught with sewing. Sewing machines hate me so I stick to hand sewing. I love making my own patterns for my plush toys I feel like its more creative and fun. I mean you often get mistakes when making your own pattern its normal but at the same time its good because you then end up with something so unique that only you could make it again.
Thankyou for doing sewing videos I'm learning things I never knew before.
Yes! Try something with cricut!
I just got a cricut machine and I'm so looking for tutorials 😅
It would be fun to see another newbie 😂🥰
Thank you Marisa for being so cool
.you inserted me to do crafts 🥹🍒
I think you did a great job! Tip: use a can of compressed air like the kind used on electronics and computers to get all that lint and dust out from inside of your sewing machine! Better tip: Keep your eyes closed while you're doing it.
Guys let’s try to get her to million subscribers by the end of next year!💕💕💕
That looks so good!!
Thanks!
I think that cat and seal fusion is really adorable! 😊💕
This is the coolest thing you’ve ever made on your channel, I love it so much!!
Ahh thank you!! I'm so happy you liked the video!!
I've never heard the term inside outing before call but I really like it. I think you and your mom are clever ladies. I'm going to steal that phrase. You are so super talented to be making your own pattern and sewing. This video was amazing because I can't imagine doing this myself, and I'm an old geezer who has done a lot of crafts!
Haha aw thanks!! 😆
Your videos are amazing, the effort you put in them is awesome ❤️
Ah thank you!!
Wow good job 👍 awesome 👏
Little Baby Blue is amazing, adorable, perrrrfect and so stinkin cute omg
Ahh thanks!
Marisa is braver too make a stuffed animal 🧸 🐶
😄✨️
Thank 🥹
I love this series!!!!!!!
Ahh yay!!! I want to do another one this week 😂
@@bellamena lol
Hi Bella!! Love your vids and the plushie is so cute!!!
I love it! It is adorable! It kind of reminds me of a chihuahua...
That is so adorable you did a great job. And your term of inside out is correct you do flip the pattern inside out because you have to put the two right sides together sew and flip it right side out and the two right sides should be out so you can stuff it.
Thanks!!
@@bellamena your welcome
Sew cute! Love your videos!
Thanks Gilly!
You should do more of these videos! It’s so cute!
Thanks!! I'm so happy you want to see more of these. I low key want to do another one for this week's video because I'm OBSESSED lol
Awe baby blue is soo cuuuute!! Good job girl!!
Thanks Anna!!
As soon as I see you post I watch your videos, religiously:))
Ah thanks!! So glad you're liking my vids :)
ADORABLE!!!!
Oh my gosh so so cute. Love this!!!! Definitely gonna be a squishy one day! 😂❤️
Haha thanks!! ✨️😄
I love baby blue, you did a good job on baby blue. Baby blue is so cute, I love your channel
please keep sewing omg!! i’ve been sewing plushies for 6 years now and i love seeing other people do it!!
Ah wow! 6 years?! I'm glad you're enjoying my beginner videos!!✨️😂
I feel like Baby Blue needs paint pour fabric on the tip of his tail! AND HE NEEDS A SISTER!!!
The stuff animal is so cute 🥰
He's adorable
could you do an updated "how i edit my videos?" or a day in my life video? I know it is not your style video, but I think that would be really fun to watch!
You did a good job since you had only done this once before! Baby must be one of those Munchkin cats. He can't help it that his legs are short. It was human intervention.
Ahh thanks! Omg yes! I was thinking he could just be a munchkin cat and that basically solves the problem 😂😂
Oh my gosh it’s so cute!!! Way cuter than the bear!
Ahh thank youu!!
I love this little guy😍 You nailed the pattern! It looks so much easier than the bear one! My tree is still up too😂
Quality ✨ i loved your video! Once I made a lake ness monster and used cheap eyes, two days later my cat took them off just throwing it away :C so, yes, quality is important
He’s so cute!!! ❤️
Thanks!!💗✨️
He's so cute!! Just say he's a munchkin cat and his feet no longer look off :)
Haha that's what I was thinking!! Problem solved, Baby Blue is a munchkin 😂
Cool!
Awwww it’s so cuteeee
So cute! And love the colours 😍
You should so try and make patterns for some of your characters and try to make them! ✨️ 🧸
Thanks!! That's a great idea :)
So cute
Thanks!
How many times did you said inside out? 😂💜 You doing great job and I love your cute art 😍❤️🧡
good job now i want to learnd how sew agaign.
Awesome! I’m actually making a plushie rn of my character
Cute! He turned out better than the bear--you're improving =)
Thanks!!
Just a small, pretty insignificant suggestion but if you're into details, you might like this. Next time you are sewing an animal using that type of fabric, you can cut the pattern in a way that the "fur" flows down towards the tail instead of up towards the head, which is how it grows naturally on animals.
Thank you! I will try to do this next time! Didn't even think about that when I was cutting it. But I noticed it was flowing the "wrong" way when I was finished ✨️😄
YEASSS MORE SEWINGGGGG 💗💗💗
YEEEEET
OMG THIS SOOOOO CUTEEEEEEE UR SOOOOOOO TALENTED
😄✨️✨️so glad you likes it!!
Can you put your pattern up for download? It's sooo cute! My daughter just loves it!
Baby Blue is unbelievably cute 🥰
Ahh thanks!!
i love him!
I LOVE the new plushie and your videos! I know it might be a bit late but are you going to rank the things you did in 2022?
Thank you!! I don't think I'm going to rank them :)
You really don't want to say "tie-dye", do you?
Adding, I like the video. Very educational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing
Great video! Bellamena, i have a christmas favor to ask. My 2 yr wants a custom doll plushie made but all seamstresses nearby dont make from scratch like you did. Can i hire you to make one?
YOU SHOULD SOOOO SELL THAT AS MERCH I WOULD FS BUY IT!!!
Ahh thanks!! I dont know if I could part with baby blue though 😂😂
@@bellamena He’s so cute, I absolutely adore him! You did an amazing job I could literally never do anything like that ❤️❤️❤️ you’re very talented, I can’t wait to see what else you make!!
