Probably my favourite pattern I've made to date, this thylacine is using my at-home fabric printing setup which allows me to sublimate designs onto different colour and length fabrics that aren't available with commercial fabric printing…
I chose a dusty brown base colour (in two lengths), combining it with a pale minky underbelly and darker fabric for the tail. This, combined with sublimation printing, makes for a more realistic and intensely coloured outcome compared to printing onto plain white fabrics.
I used my vinyl cutter to make puff-vinyl paw pads and nose, which have a really fun texture. The colours of this plush were based on "unfaded" thylacine specimens- mostly pelts that have been stored away from sunlight. Most taxidermy specimens look very pale and faded.
This was a labour of love and I only have one available here: FOR SALE HERE. I may make more in future, but I imagine it won't be for a while and they'll look a bit different from this chap!

The thylacine at the Berlin natural history museum. This male lived at the Berlin Zoo for a few years before it passed and its remains ended up at the museum.
Here's a photo of him while he was alive

Biggest batch of Thylacines my sister and I have ever made! 16, plus one I found in a box that was left over from last year. 17 little jackets, they're all prepared to head out to their new companions all over the world!
All of these have sold already, but if you want to know when I make more the best way is to sign up for notifications on the Thylacine listing over on my website (www.palaeoplushies.com)

I've restocked Thylacines
I'm thinking of making them little "Emotional Support Thylacine" vests for them and sending them out as a little free bonus for this batch cuz I feel like folks might need that right now...
This is just concept art but I think I know what I'm doing tomorrow...
Thylacines available over here: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylacine-thylacinus-cynocephalus-h58t4
Note: If people like the jacket idea, all orders placed before I make them will also come with a jacket. Subsequent orders will also have jackets for this batch. I probably won't make them again in future unless people REALLY like them. The jacket design is subject to change from the photo!
