Well firstly, a big hello to all of you. ^-^! My name is Jena, and I'm a new member here. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you all. heart

But anyway, on to the subject at hand...

I'm looking for help from anyone that is good with making (sewing) patterns, perferably for dolls or stuffed animals. There is a mascot doll I wish to make, to go along with a costume I'm going to be wearing to a convention four months from now, but...well I'm utterly horrid at making dolls without a pattern of some sort. gonk

Here are some images of the mascot in question:

The third image is the one I'd like best to make into a plushie, because it's the happy medium between the super-goofy and super-detailed versions. ^_^;;

If anyone would be able to create a pattern for this, I'd be more then happy to commision you (for Gaia gold/items, as stated by the ToS), since I know that it's a lot of hard work to make patterns from scratch.

Feel free to PM me to discuss, or just reply here. ^-^ Thanks much for reading my rambling. sweatdrop heart

Pattern for what kind of craft? Sewing, knitting, underwater basketweaving? I'm assuming sewing, just want to be sure.

Oh! Yes, for sewing. ^_^; Terribly sorry, I should have been more specific in my first post. sweatdrop

...And was the underwater basket weaving a neopets referance by any strange chance? XD;

I think I first heard the term underwater basketweaving in the late 70's.

he he
you're old!

and I think I am a good sewer, but I would never attempt any pattern that complicated, yet alone try to draft one.
sorry,

unless you have a good eye I think a pattern would be very difficult to make considering you have to know how things are constructed. And well at that. When I sew things . . . I cut and sew where I think it should go. I don't even read instructions. XD sorry I can't help.
