Plush-o-Rama: Curious Creatures for Immature Adults
What’s the big new phenomenon, with legions of devotees? Making lovable stuffed monsters! Influenced by the popularity of Japanese animé and video game culture, urban illustration and design, and the do-it-yourself craft movement, these designer plush toys are everywhere—even museum stores. Yet they’re simple to sew. Just take fabric, a needle and thread, and stuffing, combine a touch of cuteness with a dash of utter weirdness, and you’ve got one of the oddest, most irresistible creatures ever. And these 30+ projects—including furry, green-lipped Monkey; Greggles, who sports a coif of tentacles; and flirtatious Polly, who has her three eyes on every guy—are as much at home in a trendy loft studio as in a child’s room. They’re unabashedly handmade, but bold, colorful, and very modern. A thorough Basics section provides all the fundamentals, from fabric selection to stitches to the ins and outs of the construction process. And, as a bonus, there’s a handful of profiles of select plush designers with photos of their work. .

Plush-O-Rama Book & Kit: Curious Creatures for Immature Adults
Oddball handmade plush creatures have become one of today’s hottest craft trends—and Plush-O-Rama was the first book on the market to showcase this wildly popular toy phenomenon and help crafters create their own. All they needed to bring a cuddly beast to life was the guide, some fabric, a needle and thread, and stuffing—plus a heavy dose of cuteness. It wasn’t long before plush enthusiasts were showing off some of the most extraordinary, irresistible creatures anyone’s ever laid eyes upon. Sound simple? Well, it’s just become even easier, because this fun kit contains all the materials needed to make two of the fabulous projects in the book: Loud Pants Pup and Moopy Bunny. The great package includes: one 9 x 12” piece of soft white felt; a 9 x 30” piece of yellow fleece; three 6 x 18” lengths of patterned cotton fabric (stripe, polka dots, and floral print); one skein of black 6-strand embroidery floss; a small spool of yellow sewing thread; one regular needle plus a larger eye embroidery needle; assorted colorful buttons; polyfill stuffing; and a template. And, of course, there’s also a copy of Plush-O-Rama, because after you’ve made two…you’ll want to make them ALL! .
