My grandmother taught me embroidery when I was young, and let me completely ruin a lot of her supplies in my quest to be just as amazing as she was. I made the most hideous cherries, and she took the little scrap of fabric and would put it of her jar of homemade cherry jam, like it was the prettiest thing ever

I LOVE sewing but I've never had much success with plushies! I met someone online who had incredible plushie making skills, though, and I asked her about her secret... turns out it was a book you can buy pretty cheaply off Amazon. I still haven't gotten it but I might when we make our order of more practical homeownership-type books.

I LOVE THE BUNNY PEEKING OUT IN THE SECOND PIC, OMFG.

XD That bunny sits on my desk and mocks me! I picked it up specifically to pull it apart and study the pattern, but then I look at its cute face and have resigned myself to the fact that I just can't do it.

You should let me know the name of the book, y/y?

I don't think I could rip it apart, either! So glad to know I'm not the only adult who can look into a plushie's face and feel guilt. xD

And omfg, that was rude of me... I think it's called The Creative Book of Soft Toys but if you'll give me a moment I'll double-check.

It isn't even just plushies. ;3; I'm doing a custom mlp for Corgi, and I felt so bad about beheading/dehairing, and uh. doing some constructive surgery. "I'M SO SORRY PLASTIC LITTLE PONY. YOU'LL GO TO A BETTER PLACE."
