Description
Umbreon plushie for a friend's birthday. It's about the size of a beanie baby. It's minky filled with fiberfill and some plastic beans, with felt eyes.

Ugh, this took forever. I expected the pattern to be fairly simple, but things didn't fit together the way I expected them to and I had to rip out the seams and start over, and make an entirely new head from scratch. I don't know why this one was such a problem child. I'm not even going to guess how long it took, with all the work I had to do to fix it. Also, I'm not doing markings like that until I learn how to embroider them with my machine. @_@ Doing it by hand takes way too long, and the results are not very good.

I tried to put a small bag with plastic beans inside to give it some weight, but it didn't feel the way I was hoping it would. If anyone knows of any tutorials for filling plushies with part beans and part fiberfill, and how to keep the beans from migrating to the wrong places, I'd love to hear it!

Ugh, I'm just glad to have this done. I hope the next one will be better.
