My latest "creation" ... a weird looking voodoo doll that will be a present to my boyfriend for his birthday next month so he can take it into the office to have on those stressful days



The whole lot of pics with my in-process stuff is at http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o252/pinktoque/craftster/voodoo/

This project gave me a deliciously interesting idea for a future project... more to come on that later!

I wanted to reply again, because this thread helped me out so much.  After my previous post, I went out and gave it a try and modified the pattern a bit to suit my style and to look more like a moose.  Here is my finished result:



Here's the thread about my completed moose plushie (thanks to this thread!) with more pics!

Thanks!

Yesterday I posted asking how to go about making a plush moose and trying to get some help with the pattern I had started making myself, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=129070.0) and thanks to a suggestion in that thread by Eliea, I used the pattern from http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=10382.0 as my inspiration.  Here is my finished result:





I also added a scarf to see how that would look - it was actually my dog's bandana, so I think I'll either knit little scarves for the 4 moose I need to make by Christmas, or go purchase some baby-sized ones.

Thank you so much Eliea, for pointing me in the right direction, and Sewing Stars for posting the pattern.   This was my first moose, and as I mentioned before, I need to now make 3 more.  I made a few little mistakes here and there on this first one, but am sure the next 3 will be much better now that I've gotten the hang of it.  I must mention that I'm jealous that Sewing Stars can pop these out in an hour cut to finish... I really need to get a sewing machine, or at least a portable one.  Hand sewing takes forever, and I bet they'd turn out a little bit better with more even stitches.

Anyway, that was my first attempt at a plushie inspiration I found at this site!  I hope to make many, many more in the future now - thanks for all of the help, fellow craftsters!

[her pattern can be found at the following website:http://www.bamatick.com/gobi/plushMurloc/openSource.htmlI followed the pattern and made my own plush murloc out of felt:]

Many of you may or may not be familiar with the popular massive multi-player online role-playing-game called World of Warcraft, (www.worldofwarcraft .com), but chances are you know someone that is. 

A fellow gamer named Bamatick created a pattern to make her own plush murlocs (murlocs are fantasy creatures from the game - more info about them at http://www.wowwiki.com/Murloc) ... her pattern can be found at the following website:

I followed the pattern and made my own plush murloc out of felt:


You can see all of the images in my photobucket gallery of the process (including a few more finished ones) here:

UPDATE 10/29: I've recently finished "version 2" ... a larger version of this, because I found that working with felt on such small limbs was a bit tough.  Version 2 pics are posted on page 2 - enjoy!
