About Behind the Stitches
Ever wonder how those squishy plushies hold together without a single thread showing? It’s all in the no-sew technique I love using! Whether it’s a quick banana or a complex bear, I focus on sturdy, clean stitches that hold up to real-life cuddles, not just display. Seeing y'all try these out with my patterns is honestly the best part of my day.
My process is pretty simple: it starts with a ball of yarn and a whole lot of patience. I don't believe in mass-producing anything. When you commission a piece, you’re getting something that spent hours in my hands, getting those tension points just right so it stays squishy for years.
I also love sharing the 'how-to.' You'll find a bunch of my free patterns here, specifically designed to be easy for beginners who might be intimidated by traditional sewing. I usually work with plush velvet yarn for that super-soft, squishy feel that everyone loves, or sturdy mercerized cotton when I need a piece to hold a very specific shape.
Whether you’re looking for a custom-made character to gift someone special or you want to try your hand at crocheting one of my patterns, I'm here for it. If you get stuck on a pattern or have a wild idea for a custom plushie, shoot me a message—I’m always happy to help you get those stitches right!
