zipper pouch and plush

Hello all! If anyone even reads this that is. It's been a while, so I'll catch everyone up.

I've started to intern at HC&B Healthcare Communications which is an advertising company specifically for healthcare. It's paid (woo!) and I go two days a week from 8:30 to 5:30 so I feel like I'm actually working a full-time job! It's very exciting.

I'm also working with a company to teach water safety at the lake to the partiers, so that will be cool. I start that this Saturday.

In crafty news I got a sewing machine and have got to really use it lately! I broke my camera a long time ago (poop), but I wanted to update this so I just used the webcam on my laptop to take crappy pics, haha. I've recently become really obsessed with zipper pouches, and my first one was shaped like an oldschool gameboy, I think it's the cutest thing in the world!




It's made of gray, black and lime green felt with the lime green cotton cloth for the lining. The zipper is 7 inches so it's big enough to hold a bunch of crap. I want to make more eventually, and when I get enough stuff to have an etsy store I'll put it in there.

I made this bear a while back and it was around my sister's birthday and she saw and it and was like "OOO can I have it?", so that was her birthday present. I forget what she named it, she think its like an alien but it was supposed to be a bear...oh well.



It's made out of some fabric...I don't know what it is really. It's kinda thick canvas-ish...anyway, and maroon felt with button eyes. I still have some of that fabric left, I might make a pouch with it. That's all I got for now, I'm saving up for a camera so hopefully I'll get one soon and make lots of new plushies/pouches to photograph. Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!

YAY PLUSHIES!

Yay! I finally got to borrow someones camera and take pictures of my plushies! I really need a new camera :( Anyway, now for a plethera of plush!



I, like a lot of people I know, sleep with their cell phones in their bed. Well, sometimes it falls on the floor, or gets stuck in a crevice, etc. so I decided to make a plushie to hold it! Thus, Pinky was born. I made her with a pocket for a mouth that can hold my celly during the night and keep it nice and tidy. She likes to eat things, even her hands sometimes. She has a lightning bolt on her tummy for POWER and a little buttheart. I like butthearts. I think she's really cute, and I plan on making different variations!

She's about 15 inches tall if I had to guesstimate. Handsewn and machinesewn. Made with felt and stuffed with polyfill.



This is Marty the Goldfish! He is my first animal made with my sewing machine, so thats why he's a little messy. He likes to stand on his head and read novels on rainy days. He is made of felt and stuffed with polyfill.



This is Nelly! She was one of my first plushies, so she's kinda deformed. I think I'm going to try her again cause I think the shape is cute. I used felt and an old cordouroy shirt for her belly. Completely hand sewn and stuffed with polyfill. AND a cute butt-heart :)

She's about 6 inches tall and 11 inches long.





I think rocketships are SUPER cute, so I made this cute little plushie of one! The design is of my original design, and it's made from felt and polyfill. It's all handsewn with love! It's about 10 inches from the tippy top to the bottom of the flame! I hope to make more from the same pattern but with cool designs and colors!

I have another thing, a felt guitar hero guitar that I made for my friend and a bunny I made for my neice but I don't have pictures of them yet! More to come!
