how would you make it so that the head doesn't turn out flat-ish? whenever i make plushes, they never turn out..spherical i guess.....? they end up flat, like some of the mochi plushies i made awhile back >.>

I don't know how to explain it. I guess my only advice would be to try out my free pattern-- it has a head that's pretty spherical. You can re-work it from there. [link]

so if you can't draw anything other than squiggly lines....i'm basically stuck with making worm plushies lol

Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.
LOL. But did you see my drawings in the second lesson-- they're all just crappy crooked circles!! So if you need geometry tools to help, anything is possible~~~

Hey I have a quick question about this. Wouldn't the proportions change for certain shapes on a plush when they are sewn together? Let's say I calculated my proportions and I got that I should have the head of the plush at 4 inches. Later, I cut out the pattern out, which is at 4 inches, and then cut the fabric fabric, then I sew it together. Wouldn't the head turn out smaller than how I intended it to be? What would you do to fix that? Would you have to add on a few inches to the head pattern to get the sewn head at the correct height?
Yup, that's where I use trial and error because it depends what fabric you're using (if it's stretchy, it'll come out bigger, for example). I forgot to mention: I never include seam allowance, so you'll have to add that to your pattern. In case you're not familiar with the term, it's the border around the shape that you use to sew, so that it doesn't shrink it. What I usually do is I have my pattern and I draw it onto my fabric~ but when I cut, I don't cut directly on the lines: I cut an extra .5cm border around the shape... and then when I sew, I sew directly on the lines I drew.
Also, if your pattern is rather flat (like 2 circles sewn together), the nature of plush which is a 3D object, would give it some depth... so if your circle had a diameter of 5inches but when you stuffed it, you got a depth of 2 inches, your circle would end up 3 inches instead. Does this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain.
