I wanted to post about my teddy bear making (especially the first, and very special one!) but all my pictures are in my old notebook, so I’ll make-do with some other post 
This bear up there was sewn for my mum on Mother’s Day! (: The final product was hugging a pink heart shape that says ‘Happy Mother’s Day!’ ^^
I’m pretty new into the plushie sewing scene. If I’m not wrong, the first plushie I made was for my best friend, a sheep! Then followed by that I made 3 (ugly-looking) dolls for my 3 best friends in JC when it was nearing the exams. So far, I’ve mostly worked with felt or towels, and details are usually thread. For my teddy-bear (I call him Alexbear 
) though, he has a costume, which did require much much much more work, but was a whole lot of fun to sew too! (: Urgh can’t wait to get the pictures and share them!
I have a livejournal account and I love livejournal communities! I recently stumbled across this community called cute_plush and I love it! I love just looking at the cute plushies other people have created ♥ Of course, getting inspiration from them too ;D
Another method (?) of plushie making I’d like to learn would be Amigurumi. I’ve seen books teaching this in the craft store near my house. I love that craft store! It’s a really small stall with some ladies running it and it has almost everything I want! (: They have books you can rent or photocopy designs from too, although I personally have not tried them. Recently I saw a book on Amigurumi there while shopping for my crochet supplies and I wanted to loan it, but it was in Japanese and I didn’t really understand crochet terms yet so I decided to let it wait.
Oh, what is Amigurumi, you ask?
Amigurumi (編み包み?, lit. Knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.[1] Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include artistic renderings, and inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
You can read more about Amigurumi from its Wikipedia page! I don’t know how to knit (YET!) so I’m aiming to do the crocheted ones (: Soon soon!
For now, I have to get down to finishing my Math & Chemistry tutorials. And deal with my aching teeth from the seperators (I’m in the process of getting my braces done!). Can’t wait for the school break so that I can start making stuff again! (:
