Poring Plush

We’ve made two Porings and two Poporings already and this is a wonderful plushie for beginners. Having seen Ragnarok cosplayers run around with Porings at a convention, I was determined to buy one too until they told me the ones they were carrying were self-made. I wanted one myself at first but all Porings I’ve made so far have been given away and this one also had a home before it was made.  If you want one as well, drop me a comment (or a mail) xD. I love making those and they come in green, dark blue, light blue or orange if pink doesn’t suit you ~

You’ll find a lot of Poring plush tutorials on the net and I already forgot which inspired me. This is how it works best for me:

What you’ll need: pink fluffy fabric, a bit white and black felt, (matching) pink thread. Now you’re good to go! Here’s the pattern .

I forgot: don’t sew *all* along the edge. Leave a little bit open so you can turn it inside out. Stuff it but don’t close it yet!

You may close this thing (no need for leaving it open since we’ll cut it anyway).

Measure 8 cm from the bottom tip and draw a curve like shown above.

Cut along this line.

Pinning the bottom part onto the body. Don’t be too precise because the bottom piece is somewhat too big.
Sewing on the botton is the most annoying part (remember to leave a bit open!). Look how crappy it turned out here 🙁 Luckily, it won’t be too apparent on the finished product.

Turn it inside out, stuff it (take your time until it looks good) and close the body with the ladder stitch. Sew on the top ball with a few stitches so it won’t come off. Start inside the ball so you can make the knot on the end of your thread as big as you like. Close the ball afterwards.

All that’s left is glueing on the face! Arrange it before you try to glue so you can be sure to like how it turns out.  The mouth is very fragile. Be careful or you have to cut it out again (which is a pain too!).

Pudding!
