Plush (2017 – 2013)

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 Matsuno Choromatsu from Osomatsu-san. Made using my “ragdoll” plush pattern, this is actually the prototype of this pattern. He’s made from faux doll suede and minky/cuddle fabric with flannel, jersey and polycotton clothes. His face is hand embroidered using floss. This version of the character has no shoes.
