Feathered chocobo plushies

Realistic chocobo plush

UPDATE OCT 2020: I’m hoping to have some chocobos ready for Christmas. Please keep an eye on the webshop (https://www.owlsteaparty.com/shop/) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/owlsteaparty) Several pictures of my feathered chocobo plushies. I’ve just realised that I didn’t post them on this site so here are some pictures of the last two I’ve made: a standard yellow chocobo and the black chocochick from Final Fantasy XV. Hopefully I’ll be making a few of the yellow chocobo to sell before Christmas but it will depend on how much time I have. They’re mostly fairly simple to make but sewing, wiring and stuffing the legs is fiddly and time consuming.

Fantastic reception for the Official Trico plush

Twitter is full of great pics of the official Trico plush. For those that haven’t seen anything yet, the Trico plush was available at the Playstation Gear store at E3 for $30 each. There are loads of pictures on twitter and apparently it featured on Playstation’s Snapchat. While you can buy a few highly marked up copies on eBay right now, I highly recommend waiting for the plush to come out for general sale in the future. More pics of Trico. He's cute. pic.twitter.com/cS5nnfAM74 — Anto 2.907 (@ajlareneg) June 15, 2017 I'm sending my girlfriend a Trico 🙂 he has a long trip ahead of him 😉 pic.twitter.com/oFYoEbzS7q — Emilio Lopez (@EMannLand) June 13, 2017 I need this #Trico plushie.

Zemzelett plush (FF9)

[Edit 11th Dec 2017 – Zemzelett is up for sale at https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/561580188/zemzelett-plush-final-fantasy-9] Finished another personal project to make a Zemzelett from Final Fantasy 9. If you don’t remember what one is, don’t feel bad. It’s a minor enemy that appears in the owl forest surrounding the Black Mage Village. Zemzelett is a telekinetic owl that just looked so grumpy and cute that I wanted one for myself. Getting some clear reference photos was difficult, so the Rɘverse FF9 model viewer was so helpful to me. It meant that I could load up the 3D model of any FF9 monster and get a good look at some of the detail that would have been completely missed if I was relying on blurry […]

Malboro plush – Kingsglaive Malboro Mascot

A cutsie malboro that appears in advertising in Final Fantasy: Kingsglaive for the brand MBS. He’s one of my favourites and just looks so cute in the palm of your hand in person. All those tentacles mean that he’ll perch on pretty much anything – and has adorned the top of our Christmas tree for a few years now. Since I had some spare eyes, I’ve made a second to sell, along with some photos in a better light: https://www.owlsteaparty.com/product/malboro-plush/

Baby paleberry plush – World of Final Fantasy

Baby Paleberry plush

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve had the chance to post. I haven’t had time to do much sewing or blogging lately because of the rush over Christmas and then all of the aftermath. I’ve had loads of people get in touch over Christmas either for commissions or for Trico plushes/plush pattern. I’ll reiterate here that I don’t take commissions of existing or new plushes – I don’t have the time to fulfil any- and that I wont be selling or giving away my Trico plush pattern. While I try to email everyone back who gets in touch, I’ve been really busy lately and if the subject of the message was either of these topics then this is why I […]

Plush moogle doll

You will need: Minky/plush or fleece fabric in the following colours: White (lots) Pink Red Pale blue Purple Orange Thick black embroidery thread Polyester stuffing (optional) Plastic pellets/Poly pellets to add to stuffing Sewing template pieces: Download the sewing template/pattern Plushie tutorial: Body: Attach the blue circle to the front of the body Use the thick embroidery thread to add the “stitching” details. These aren’t actually holding anything together, they’re for aesthetics only. Sew the body together and leave the neck open. If using poly pellets, start with a few handfuls of the pellets. This makes the plush bottom-heavy which helps it sit up and gives it a pleasant weight. Then fill the rest with polyester stuffing. Head: Assemble the four head […]

“Riki fight better than anyone!”

Update Oct 2020: I’ve had quite a few requests for these lately. I’m pretty busy at the moment but I’m going to try an get a few little ones done – please keep an eye on the web shop (https://www.owlsteaparty.com/shop/) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/owlsteaparty) I wasn’t able to add a voice box like I wanted, because of a cock-up when ordering. I’ve got voice boxes that will play one long tune but not one that will play many sound files. The voice box was also too big to fit in the wing like I wanted, so has been left out. However, I was able to tidy up Riki’s sewing, stuffing, and add new arms, legs and wings. It might not bee […]

Moogle mayhem

I’ve been making loads of moogles lately, kupo. Even though most of my time has been spent playing World of Final Fantasy, kupo. Only one of these is for sale currently, but more will be available soon. First is a big moogle plush. This is made of luxury faux fur and a little bit of minky for details like wings and footpads. It’s insanely soft and really cuddly. It was intented for sale, but my partner wont let me get rid of him! So I’ll have to make another to keep first and then sell this guy.
