Attach saftey eyes to cake base, glue on felt patches, and add any other desired details. Begin sewing the frosting to the cake using the inside of the scalloped edge. Stuff as you go. Finish sewing the frosting to the cake, and you're done! These guys are quick to make, so make a whole rainbow of cupcakes!!

Teddy Bear

Here's another bear I made with my bear pattern, the same one used for the panda. I'm trying to make a few different types to show the versatility of the pattern. I'm almost done with the third addition, a polar bear. And with that, I think I'll have a pretty well rounded showing of bears that will appeal to many different people!

You can find the pattern for these guys on my Etsy! And I might list the finished bears for sale as well. I haven't decided yet though.

Panda Plushie and Alice Doll

So I was pretty busy crocheting this weekend! I made a few more of some things I already have patterns for, but I also made a couple new patterns.

Here's my first attempt at a human doll, Alice in Wonderland!




And something I'm more familiar with making, an animal. I should have made a panda a long time ago! Why'd I wait so long??


As my sister would say, "It's so cute, I almost died!"

I hope you guys like them! I think I'm going to work on a regular brown bear next.

And check back in a few days, I'll be putting up a new free pattern. This time for cupcakes!

The pattern for the panda is up on my etsy: http://syppah.etsy.com And I'm still taking commissions, so feel free to leave a comment here if you're interested.

Star Pattern

Here's a free pattern for everyone! Now you can make your own cute stars.

NOTE: If you want them to look like the small yellow ones on the blue background, stop at round 6.

Star Pattern

MATERIALS

-worsted weight yarn in color of choice
-9mm safety eyes
-fiberfill or stuffing of choice
-scraps of yarn for details, if desired

STITCH GUIDE
ch- chain
sc- single crochet
sk- skip stitch
dec- decrease
sc3tog- single chain three together- draw up a loop through
each of 3 next stitches. Yarn over, and pull through all 4 loops.

Worked in rounds. Do not join unless stated. Place stitch marker in
beginning of each round to keep track of rounds.

STAR (make 2)
rnd 1 - ch 5 in ring (5) [I use the magic adjustable ring technique
but you can also just ch 2 and work 5 sc into the second chain.]
rnd 2 - 2sc in each around (10)
rnd 3 - [sk next, 5sc in next] 5 times. join (25)
rnd 4 - [sc in next, 5sc in next, sc in next, dec] 5 times. join (40)

rnd 8 - [sc in next 5, 5sc in next, sc in next 5, sc3tog] 5 times. join (80)
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing on one half.

ASSEMBLY
Sew or attach details to one half if desired. Align two halves and sew around
most of the star leaving a small opening for stuffng. Stuff star through remaining
opening. Finish sewing together and weave in ends.



Here are some more recent examples. I sold ones in this size and in all sorts of different colors at AnimeFest.



This one is old and a little embarrassing, but I figured I'd show it anyway!

Commissions - Voltorb and Masterball

A girl from one of my classes was kind enough to commission me to make her a couple of Pokemon items! I had already done a Masterball commission at AnimeFest, but since I had a lot more time to work with this one I decided to change a few things up to see if it would look nicer. For the Voltorb, my biggest challenge was figuring out how to do the eyes. I didn't want to just glue some white felt on, and I also didn't want to do what my commissioner suggested: just use black saftey eyes. I think my solution turned out pretty well!

Here are some side by sides of the masterball/Voltorb and my versions!






























So, there you go! Let me know what you guys think of them. And commissions are still open. Feel free to leave a comment here if you're interested. You can also contact me through deviantart art: syppah.deviantart.com or etsy: syppah.etsy.com
