So I wanted to give sewing a shot for a while now and i've noticed the lack of mech stuffed toys so i gave this a shot, keep in mind its my second attempt at this so lets see if you guys can guess what it was supposed to be .

Looks kinda crabby....

[El Bandito]

Marik players are pleased.

[Lynx7725]

Wonder if PGI would use that as their "special" skin.

[GRay111111]

great Krab!

[PurpleNinja]

Jenner?

I think you should have the end of the arm in 2 pieces to make a claw. It might make a good cockpit item too. Could have an option to sit on it slightly raising your POV

Ok, don't want to sound rude, but did you forget to turn the inside out?
You do this by hand or with a machine?

On the other side, not bad for a second project, my second project was a pencil case with flowers on it. Or something that could be flowers. Dead flowers, overran by a truck, but still...

This makes me want to ask PGI if they can make a mech plush toy for our cockpits.

I'd buy it and hang it in my Crabs if i could.

Hey thats cool and thanks for sharing. Sewing takes a lot of practice and for your second project this is good. I wonder if you could cut out different colored fabric to apply like patches/overlays?

[SnagaDance]

That's a crab attempt OP!! (seriously, good effort for a second try, is the stitching strong enough for people to sit on it?)

You're definitely off to a better start than I would be at sewing. You'll get better with more experience, though checking out some youtube videos would likely shorten the learning curve...

...anyway. Good job!

[Nihil 75]

Its very cute!

[Averen]

It's so adorable!

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Neat, there certainly seems to be a lack of plushies.

Would be nice to see your King Crab finished.



And one that I found googling was this one:

Sharing here maybe could give you ideas on how to continue working on yours.

[Vandul]

How awesome would it be if it had a squeaker that opened the claws when you sat on it?

Nice work that. I was expecting a thread about reaping and sewing, not actual sewing.

Ha ha no you are right I totally forgot to put it inside out on some parts, did it with a machine since I got one this weekend, and for those who guessed, yes it was supposed to be a king crab, same color as I use in game. I definitely want to try again with it actually being able to stand and yea the opening crab hands would be awesome, once I make a better one i'll post again.

Cool, an Overlord dropship! But they aren't actually supposed to have wings... and the landing gear are a bit wonky too.

Still, I like it!

Ha Ha my first attempt resembles an overlord dropship a lot more... and no no pics of that one anytime soon.
