I made one. 8DDD

The pictures are really huge, so I'll link to them.

He was almost entirely hand-sewn, using a pattern made by Katy-A on deviantART. We had a bit of trouble getting his poor head on, so he doesn't look as nice and professional as Katy's, but I still love him to pieces. <333

We filled him with poly-beads, stuffed his head with polyester batting, and hand-painted his eyes onto round buttons, which were then sewn onto the head. If we have a go at making another one again, my mom is going to revise the pattern we used and probably make one that's a little bigger. This was very small and hard to work with, but we did the best that we could. I'm pretty proud of the little bugger. 8DDD

Oh my isn't he cute!

I saw some homemade plushies of him already, but I have to say this one is together the most realistic and the cutest so far. *Hugs* <3

Oh my word, that is adorable!

I am so going to have to make my own plushie. My grandma is a really good sewer and my friend's mom is brilliant, too so... idk why I haven't started making one already. XD But dang, red, that is just so cute!

Thank you both!

Farael: Oh, trust me, compared to Katy-A's Toothless plush, mine looks like crap. xDD I'm a bit upset we couldn't get his head on right, because the rest of his body came out perfectly. <33

Taylor: Ooooh, I'd so love to see you do it! And you'll love to have an adorable little Toothless to cuddle with at night. *uneasily glances around* what. I sleep with mine. So....?

The pattern I used is a really good one, but it's a bit difficult to understand at first, and the way the head is put together, it doesn't leave much material for sewing it onto the body. Also, there were a few places where the material didn't match up, like some pieces had more material than others in places like the neck hole and tail. In that case, my mom and I will have to redesign the pattern if we make another one.

All in all, it was a fun experience. I'll leave the thread open to anyone who wants to post their Toothless-making success. 8DDD

You're right, Katy-A's one is awesome too. But she seems to have a lot of experience at making plushies, looking at her dA pages.

I don't know about you, but assuming that you're not a plushie-factory yourself, the result is still impressive (more than whatever my grandma and I would have come up with ^^).

And most important... Someone cuddles with him at night, there's a happy softy Toothless!
