Felt is bad for sewing with as it comes apart easy, unless you use it to add ridgidness to things or to sew on top of.
No wonder I got it so cheap then
I'm not going to be playing with the plushies, so it shouldn't matter much.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

I'll have better photos by tomorrow. That one's blurry because I took it with a mac camera.

Re: Sewing Official Topic
I did it a bit once in grade 5 and i remember i didn't understand the instructions and i sucked at it
but then the teacher only explained to me again when our project was almost due so i got a low mark
even though i asked!
reading this thread made it all come back to me and i decided
i might want to try that again!
the sun still shines

Re: Sewing Official Topic
If you want to make plush toys, here are some tips that I figured out.
If you want the arms and legs to flop around, use dried beans instead of stuffing.
Polyfil is the best stuffing, and it's not expensive.
If you're making a stuffed animal that is not small, I like stuffing with polyfil and then adding dried beans to the stuffed animal so it has a beanbag texture when you squeeze it, but not so that it gets lumpy.

Should I make the pony plush or the scratch cat?
And should I make the pony plush, which pony?
Scratch Cat just for the sake of catering to all the community 
Plus the only one I've seen so far is cheddargirl's.
I'm horrible at sewing lol, I'd love to make a plush (poni or an Angry Birds-esque one) once for lulz, but I don't have any decent cloth and I lack fine motricity c:

I used to sew sometimes, but mostly cross-stitch (I was terrible at it...). Have you ever done anything related but not quite sewing, like cross-stitch, needle-point, embroidery, etc.?
No. What are cross-stitch and needle-point?
super late reply:
Cross-stitch and needle point and embroidery are all different ways of putting pictures on cloth with a needle. It takes forever and the patterns are hard to follow, but you can really do some amazing things with it if you have tons and tons of spare time (read: are retired/unemployed). My friend has a wall hanging of some horses (painted in a Chinese style) and Chinese calligraphy from her grandmother (or her aunt, not sure) and from far away, you would swear it was real ink. It's really amazing. Embroidery and needlepoint are similar but they use different methods, I think, and cross-stitch usually uses special fabric because of the way you do it. Here are some really awesome examples. Embroidery is also how old-timey people made the patterns on kimonos and qipao (now I think it might be done by machine. I'm not sure.).

Re: Sewing Official Topic
This is really old but I found it so I didn't have to make a new thread
But anyway I've been thinking of sewing a stuffed creature with the paper letters that are left over from the secretsvase I've got since I'll be moving soon and I don't want to take the letters with me and my friends are advising me against burning them in the witching hours today
But I'm not sure what kind of creature it would be without taking me a while of working on it
Maybe a worm
I would rather be alone than pretend I feel alright
