I'm working on a plush at the moment which is completely out of my comfort zone and has forced me to do things I've never done before. I'll upload it either tonight or tomorrow depending on when I get it done. (Spoiler Alert: It was Harry) But the way I've been able to focus on this is because I HAVE to get it done by tonight. I have so many WIPs lying around on my desk that I never finish simply because I don't have that pressure. I don't have to heart to toss them so they take up space and everytime I look at them I think to myself "Wow, I should probably finish that." Then I never do.

With this particular plush it's pushed me to think about trying new things. Commissions work the same way, where I know I have to get something done by a certain time. No excuses. Sure, it means I'm less likely to take risks with the core of things - but the things I take risks on never end up finished. This plush has removeable clothing so I was able to experiment with (and get annoyed when they didn't work) velcro and buttons. The failed outfits are slowly piling up but at the same time, I'm learning.

To the point of this journal - yes, I'm alive. Yes, I'm still making plushies. But now I need your help. The first three suggestions commented below I WILL make before the end of March. Preferably not humans, but anything else I'm willing to try. Since they're not commissions I'll be putting them up for sale after.

Get commenting!

EDIT: It's been a week and no comments. Please suggest something guys! It doesn't have to be four legged either, something I may have neglected to mention. If I don't have the right colours of fabric I'll even create my own colour scheme so at least I'm making something. All I'm asking is for someone to suggest something I should make so that I have it there, in writing, that someone wants me to make something. Even that should be enough to push me to work.

Since I got better I've been working on it, but sadly nothing I do looks good enough to make me happy with it and I've lost the drive to make it.

However, I have been looking around for you and I've found this pattern [link] which I believe would work for you. All you really need to do is modify the legs and face slightly to reflect the markings of Pabu, but otherwise I think it would look great. For the instructions as Runo didn't put any up, just connect the letters to each other and sew along. The pattern is symmetrical so once you do one side the other should be easy.

Hope this works for you! And sorry for taking so long to then back out D:
