i made an usa-chan!
soooo i woke up at like 8 when the hubs left for work and decided i was going to get shit done today.
i've wanted my own usa-chan plush for a while, and just recently started planning a female!ouran high cosplay group with a couple of friends for a convention next year so it kind of gave me more of a reason to work out a pattern and make a "prototype". lol
i only had to make a few teeny tiny adjustments to the pattern as i was putting the pieces together, which is pretty exciting since my patterns are usually more flawed than that. but i guess this is a stuffie and not clothing? there is a greater margin for error. lol
SO OHMYGOD HERE HE IS HE'S SO CUTE I LOVE HIM FOREVERRRRR
LOOKIT HIS LITTLE TAIL OMGGG
and here's a poorly taken shot of me holding him to get an idea of how wonderfully big and squishy he is /)*3*(\
i feel so accomplished! i left his ears unstuffed (unlike the keychain and most other plushies of him i've seen) so that his ears are more flexible and can bend and stuff. if i had to change anything i think i might make his torso a little longer, and find a way to make his whole body seem more floppy? but overall i'm super happy and think he's like the cutest thing i've ever made *___________________*
i posted some pictures on facebook and one of my old teachers from high school (yes, my HS teachers were awesome and i'm friends with quite a few on facebook now XD) wants to order one for her great niece who'll be born in november. of course she has no idea that this is a character from an anime, but he IS a super cute pink bunny that any little girl would love to have and snuggle. :3
