this is the first in a series of plush toys that i want to make as presents for my nieces and nephew. this is zhongzi, which is stuffed glutinous rice wrapped in a bamboo leaf. i sewed everything entirely by machine (including the eyes and mouth) and sewed a running stitch along the outside seam, not wrong side out, then flip inside out like i normally do. this is because i am lazy, but i think it works ok (maybe a little messy):
i'd also like to make turnip cake, shu mai, mantou, and egg custard at some point.
i'm excited to be doing tad for the 4th year in a row! i don't have any grand plans or a theme planned this year but want to try making a variety of things, similar to projects i have done in the past: plush toys, refashioned garments, sculpey figurines, photography, drawings and illustrations, and other miscellaneous things i've been meaning to do/wanting to try.
