Earlier this month my eldest came up to me and asked me if I could make her a grey cat plushie for her friends birthday. I said "sure, what did she have in mind?" she wanted a grey kitty posing with a peace sign with sunglasses. Now... I'm sorta new to this whole plushie thing. I pretty much just draw out what I'm going to make first, then trace it with tracing paper and cut that out and use that as my template. A kitty with a peace sign and sunglasses was something I've never attempted before. I told my daughter "sure, I like a challenge." and then she throws in at the end "its for this Sunday"... which was a week from when she was telling me all of this. O_o
Now usually when I make a plush I take my time and usually I make mistakes. Which is fine because it's all part of the learning process but this time I had a time limit. I puffed out my chest like superman and reassured my daughter that she would have a grey kitty with a peace sign AND sunglasses to give to her friend by the end of the week.
I had tons of luck when making this because I had no huge mess ups. The worst thing that happened was my thread knotted up as I was sewing.
It's not a perfect but I had fun making the little grey kitty with a peace sign and sunglasses. I met my first deadline and I gained more experience. But the most important thing out of all this was my daughters friend loved it and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

The eyebrow on the right of the picture was a little off but I fixed it once I realized it and continued taking pics.
