CHONKY Triceratops

This chonky triceratops is so chubby that it’s legs can’t touch the table together, some will be floating because of its big belly hahahha

This is a pattern test for! The pattern is very easy to follow, with lots of tips and photos to guide you through the pattern, AND it is NO SEW!😍 you can purchase the pattern on its own or as a bundle with T-Rex and stegosaurus☺️

It’s also the first project I finished after moving house🥺 so the background is the same but the lighting is different 😮‍💨

A long overdue summary of the patterns I’ve tested in a month!

Had to postpone posting this until all the patterns have been released haha oops. Almost decided not to bother because it’s been so long but still wanted to be able to look back at this reel months later! If you liked any of the patterns I have tested you can find the creators tagged in this post 🥰🫶🏻

I sold some plushies and made back my table fee, but the amount I made could not cover the time and material spent making the plushies, so yeah 🌝

I didn’t have a bad market day though, I had wholesome interactions with some people and customers, and got to catch up with my friends who kept me company 🫶🏻

Kinda sucks that my stall was also located at the darkest spot of the whale mall, but that’s out of my control 🤷 I also don’t think the general public knew that the market was Mother’s Day themed either🤨

I’m not even joking they actually are yarn packages I still haven’t opened😭😭 they didn’t get transformed into the first clip of the reel unfortunately, I seriously hoard too much yarn bro

I think seeing the second clip made me realise I will actually quit fibre art before I use up 50% of my yarn 🤡

Did you guess it right? I made it as a birthday present for my coworker recently!

A cuddly duck as a pattern test for!

I purposely used embroidered eyes so that she can be a cuddly bud for babies and toddlers!

I have purchased other cuddly buds patterns of iuli but this is the first one I’ve finished! It was so hard for me to decide how stuffed I would like the body to be, especially when it will feel more deflated over time. I loved how the pattern has so many photos to guide you, with detailed instructions and even some hand drawn diagrams for the more complicated parts. The pattern is very well written and I think you should check it out too!

P.s. I swear adding the dialogue took longer than editing all the footage 😩 but I have so much footage that I had to choose a longer audio😮‍💨

After monetising my hobby I kept searching for patterns that are quick to make, so that I can sell them for cheaper. It became a “common sense” that people won’t be willing to pay that much for crochet plushies,so if I make a more complex item, it most likely won’t sell😔

But this year I started making more things that will make me happy, rather than making the same things over and over again. This plant was one of the things I enjoyed making, instead of worrying about how long it took me so that I can charge for my time fairly.
