Step 1: Sketch the Plush
This definitely looks like an egg, but I used it as my basic pattern for the Tokotocold. I also did rough sketches of the ears, whiskers, and arm/leg noodles and used them as my pattern. Step 3: Sew Arm & Leg Noodles
These were little noodles I just sewed around with as small of a seam allowance as I could and then stuffed with polyfil. You can sew them in a way that you can stuff it after, but I decided to just sew the arms and legs directly to my seams after stuffing. Step 6: The Staff
The Staff is another flat paper pattern with yellow whip stitching details. After sewing the details and then around the edges I stuffed it with polyfil. Then I I tacked it in place on the arm of the body. Since the arms are just little noodles it definitely drags it down, but it works well as a plushie or prop if you position it right. Gotta love that videogame practical design! |
Step 2: Cut Body & Whip Stitch Face Details
I used my paper pattern to cut out a front and back of the egg shaped body, and then used a whip stitch to sew on the eyes and the whiskers. The whiskers got a tiny bit of polyfil sandwiched between before finishing to give that pop of dimension. Step 4: The Ears
The ears are half the same cream minky and then the inside is a cool tie-dye blue fleece. I interfaced the fleece so that they would stick up and then carefully sewed it at as small of a seam allowance as I could and then turned them out and pinned it in place to the head. Step 5: Sewing the Body & Stuffing It
This is probably the easiest step as it just involves sewing around the main egg shape making sure that all the limbs are pinned to the center. I left a little bit at the top open so I could flip it right side out and generously stuff with polyfil. Then I hand sewed the tip shut to finish using a slip stitch. |
