Welcome!
I am maveeluv, programmer and plush artist in my free time. I have been a huge fan of plushies since my early childhood days. In 2016 I decided I want to make my own plushies.
I did not know where to start at all! Where to get materials? How does pattern making even work? I didn't have any sewing experience either. I visited a local crafts store, got some basic sewing supplies and low-quality fabric and embarked on my plush making journey!
I searched the internet up and down for pattern making techniques and tutorials and tried various approaches, but with little success. That is until one day my partner, who worked in the video game industry, suggested I should try use 3D models and UV maps for pattern creation. This is when I started to develop digital pattern making!
In 2018 I finally bought my now old and trusty Pfaff Creative 1.5 sewing and embroidery machine and started to create my own embroidery as well.
After collecting experience with personal projects, I took on my first commissions and turned the beloved characters of my clients into plushies. My style is to make plushies as faithful to their original design as possible! I love to take on challenging projects, try new techniques and learn new things.
In 2023 I added a sublimation printer and heat press to my setup, which allow me to create custom printed minky.
My dream is to one day combine my passion for both programming and plush making and create a custom software, that allows users to create and edit patterns based on 3D models with ease!
