I sew my own mochi plushies as well! I don't know about buying one of your plushies yet, since I'm a bit low on cash right now, but I'd be happy to critique/offer tips if you'd like!
You used several pieces to make him (about 5). That's fine, but remember when you have many pattern pieces you want to make sure the sewed areas don't stand out too much. To do that, you can add a little bit more fluff! I think Ita-mochi needed a bit more fluff here, but the amount you used is still fine.
I'm glad to see a fellow face embroiderer! *high fives* Most people just sew on the patterns of the face onto the mochi, and you went the extra mile and used yarn, which is great! The faces on my mochis are sewn that way, too!I like the flag, and that's a very cute curl! :) Just watch your trimming a bit on the curl - there's a few jagged edges. It takes a lot of practice to be able to remove rough edges on plushies, so just keep practicing

Thanks for your feedback! Yah, I know about his curl, but it was hard to cut it without cutting the stitching. I hand sewed everything so that's probably one reason you can see stitching. Also, I didn't use yarn, I actually used embroidery floss lol... But regardless, I'm gonna keep practicing!! xD
