Plush (2015 – 2008)

I’ve been asked a few times if I have a gallery of the plush I’ve made over the years, which until now, I didn’t. I’ve been making plush toys since around 1997 when I was just a child! I’m completely self taught, so those early plush leave some to be desired, but if I have access to them still, or photos, I will include them here along with every plush I have made since.

I’ve tried to put them all in order of being made, though it’s been a long time, so some dates may be wrong. Newest are at the top, getting older as you scroll down.

A plush of a character, Jake, from John Stoering’s project, True North. Made using an older plush pattern. He’s made from faux suede and long pile faux fur with jersey and craft denim clothes. His face is hand embroidered using floss.
