#(i am doing the thing where i make an 8 ft long squid plushie instead)

I want to know about the giant squid plushie 👀 it sounds so very friend shaped and I love me a good stuffed toy ❤️

hello!!! it is indeed so very friend shaped (or it will be, once it's not, ya know, cut out pieces of fabric)

so the giant squid plushie is uh, currently the bane of my existence, because I sewed the edges of the body before I put the fins in, so I now need to seam rip ~3 feet of stitching, but!!!

it's name is jeremy and I'm making it based off of this pattern from a screenshot-ed tumblr post I found on pinterest three years ago, before I had a tumblr or the confidence to make an 8 foot long giant squid plushie

It's mostly purple, except for half of the tentacles, because part of the design is that one side of each tentacle/arm is the felt you're using for the rest of the piece and then the other half is an accent fabric thing, so for the accent fabric thing I'm using yellow novelty printed chicken fabric (this was partly an excuse to buy novelty printed chicken fabric)

I wanted to use different, cuter novelty yellow printed chicken fabric but that one was out of stock so I got this one instead. it still works!! and I have an extra yard of it cause you have to order 2+ yards if you're getting it online so I am tempted to make my next project attempting to make a button down out of this. no clue if I have enough or not, that's a problem for future copper (I really really hope I have enough).

I don't have any pictures of the current state of things, but this is when I was cutting out my fabric and ernie (my cat) was being a cat and sitting on it

it's a lot of fabric
