A delicious Tuesday!
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 cut...
Pineapple production! ๐
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 pineapples a...
Pineapple ditto! ๐
A relative or prequel to the pineapple upside down cake ditto? ๐ค 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 ๐ค 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!
Smores sublimation, scents, new baby!
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 ๐๐
First summer babies are born!
Happy hump day!I got a ton of work done today! ๐ช๐ค 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 ๐ญ luckily, my idea worked out! I'll share how i did it in a future tutorial po...

I am the ultimate popsicle!
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!
