Smeeta rocks!
My mom used to make the best softies from socks and gloves! She even made rag dolls for me! She’s my favorite!
Ooooo!!! Some day! I’ve only seen this magazine once but chock fulla pages to ogle and admire! So hard to say who my favorite Etsy Plush maker is because there are oodles of incredible makers. Maybe DKoss2 http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5080450 or LouLouandOscar http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5804671 or Girlsavage or Everyeskimo, maybe Astulabee or Plushroomsoup, and then there’s…OMGoodness I could go on and on.
Me, me! I want one. I’ve been eyeing that magazine for a while, but hadn’t broken down and purchased one yet. I’ve been teaching my daughter to hand sew softies lately. She’s really enjoying it.
I´d like to have the magazine, too… Junker Jane certainly makes wonderful monsters, and I like + admire the dolls by http://cathycullis.blogspot.com and http://theseventhmagpie.blogspot.com...
My favorite plush maker is Erin who makes Sock Zombies! http://www.sockzombie.com – they’re cute & cuddly, but they’ll eat your socks and steal your soul! Bwah ha ha ha ha!! (I even took mine to Disneyland once)
Well … This is no secret …
My favourite is Nicole / Astulabee ♥
Even though, she is more than a plushie-maker but a “soft-sculpture” crafter.
That magazine sounds aceness I’m sure it would LOVE to come and live with me in Paris !!!
