I've made a few plushies in my day. I was making copies of this old turtle doll I've had since I was a child for awhile, and I made a really elaborate dingo for a friend. Sadly, he moved away, so i have no idea if he still has it. It's a hobby I might enjoy doing again someday, but I've always sewed everything I make by hand, and it gets time consuming. Add in my worsening eyesight and the arthritis in my hands and I don't sew as much as I used to. I still have a 'battle jacket'- a coat with heavy metal patches- I haven't finished because of these same reasons.
