here's some images of the making

>>36059189
all the clothes except the socks are removeable as well, she's made of acrylic yarn and is about 28cm tall

>>36059189
Nice although eyes are too fucking anime. Is this one also yours?

>>36059189
the rumia one I made first when I was just beginning, she's a bit derpy and basic since I was just starting crochet. both of them took just under a week to make each
>>36059266
nah that's not mine, I just started 2 weeks ago and have only made these two so far.
I tried to replicate EOSD mari eyes but that's as small as I could get them with crochet stiching before they become a bit unrecognisable, have tried button eyes but I like the pure crochet medium

>>36059310
That's really cute, anon. Keep at it!

"diy fumo" do you think fumo means stuffed animal in japanese or something? its a series of plushes
anyway i like your funky little girls, if i had the proper fabric i'd make my own. please make more.

>>36059359
>>36059362
thanks!
specifically bootleg fumo style touhou dolls. the thing I like about crochet is working off the single thread to build up whole structures, don't have to work out cut patterns and I I learn it better I can freestyle put together some complex shapes just from knitting that one thread in the right way.
I think I'm gonna make patche next

>>36059310
your rumia reminds me of the legendary babushka-hus

The kawaii uguu eyes are kind of unfitting. I think one solid color or smaller ones would be better.
That aside, they look super nice OP. Good job! I would love one.

>>36059189
Looks like the one posted in the last baku thread, name of those woolly dolls is amigurumi and you have future if you want to sell like babushka

>>36059189
I think it's pretty adorable, I'd probably get some if you sold them

>>36059189
there is absolutely an interest. I'd open an etsy if you're in need of cash.
>>36065236
good to see my girl is getting shared around :)

>>36059189
Extremely cute!!! I love these a lot!
Who else are you planning on making besides Patchy?

>>36059189
One of the best handmade 2hus I've seen. I like her eyes.

Please give her a mouth

Otherwise It looks like some quality handiwork A+, I'd buy a hakurei miko

>>36068010

Thanks!
been asked by a friend to make a specific other chara that isn't a 2hu first, then makin patche.
after that I think the order I'm gonna follow is reimu, remilia, cirno and flan
then I think i might try taking orders by commission
>>36077327
tried a mouth design earlier but when I tried to incorperate it into her face with proper stitching I couldn't quite get it right so have left it blank for now, to get ti just right I may have to reposition her left eye

>>36081884
oh, I also wanna make satori, try out some cool rose spiral ruffles on her dress and sleeves

>>36059310
they look like power puff girls

How did you learn to do this?

extremely cute and good

>>36082123
used youtube to learn the basic stitches; chain, double and treble as well as the modifiers increases and decreases then the ways to start, from a magic circle, a looped chain or a flat chain with reverses. with mixtures of these tecniques you can pretty much do any shape you could imagine. be warned tho, it is very time consuming especially when you're just getting used to it, I probably spent around 40 hours on marisa, though it takes me around 2-4 seconds to do one stitch rn, once you get real good people can belt out stitches in less than a second.
look up crochet for beginners and amigurumi tutorials if you want to get into it.

>>36082570
oops, for

>>36075025
Nice to see that your Babushka friend is well anon

Did you end up putting the mouth on her?

soft Marisa doll

>>36103289
Fuck how do I get the DF quality ASCII icons to show up

Very cool

>>36094398
nah not yet. moving her eye will be a pretty serious procedure, gonna work on my next doll before trying it

>>36059189
She came out so cute! I especially love the detailing on her socks and shoes. Do you by chance have a pattern you followed? Also, has anyone come across a fumo sewing pattern? I've been looking for one for ages.

>>36122938
pretty much free styled the shape as I went and used crochet laythe to generate patterns for larger complex shapes like the hat and dress
but sad I didn't record my pattern as I went, but am making a simillar one now and recording my pattern as I go.
plan on making a proper fumo proportion amigurumi in the near future though, will record my pattern and post it

That's adorable anon! I love it so much!

>>36059189
>is there any kind of intrest in this sorta thing?
Yes. Sadly, I can't even sew.
Keep at it and do a Reimu next!

Very cute thread

>>36124307
I'm incredibly impressed you free handed everything! I make amigurumi stuff too so that's crazy impressive. Especially with the details on her bloomers, layers and whatnot. I've not heard of a crochet laythe either, I'll have to look into that. Very excited that you're writing up a pattern this time. I'll keep an eye out for it! I'd really love to make a summer Cirno before summer ends but never found a decent pattern.
>>36129352
fumbo is so cute. Cute thread indeed.

>>36132794

useful tool for making large, symmetrical shapes.
it can't help you if you're trying to make asymmetrical things, also it only generates shapes for double crochets, if you want to use treble crochets (I like using them for clothes since they make the shape softer)
you have to design the shape a bit stumpy since trebles are higher.

>>36134869
Gotcha, you're awesome! Thank you so much. I look forward to others you make!

jaypee got talent!

>>36129352
go back

>>36129352
go forward

I want a Taliban/ISIS Cirno.
Do you ship to Scottish islands?

next body done, isn't gonna be a 2hu but will be from monster hunter, left arm looks a bit short in photo due to perspective, is fine tho.
https://pastebin.com/7B8zYeHL
Here's the pattern, I'll probably ajust for future dolls, but is a good base.
>>36148951
will post way to commission when I'm ready, will be ship anywhere , they're well under 2kg so can ship to anywhere via air mail for around 20 usd, less if you're in australia
and yes will do terrorist cirno

>>36150069

Thanks for the pattern! Looks good!

>>36150069
do you do paypal?
that's what i used last time i commissioned anything
PM me if you are on newgrounds (Straberrykiler6789)
Cirno needs some accessories like a rocket launcher, maybe a headband, battle scars and maybe an isis flag with a snowflake/cirno wings in the middle and 9's instead of the dunerunes or just a smiley face or a Taliban flag with baka in their style of calligraphy.

anybody got some idea for concept art?
drew a quick template based on the pattern

>>36159467
i tried drawing something but it just doesn't look like she is a terrorist yet.

she has a dynamite vest and loads of bullets but it just doesn't quite fit the bill.

how do we make her look like a terrorist guise?
also any other ideas with the template?

>>36159467
op here
here's somthing I drew up, thought a turban would be good, not sure how to incorperate an isis flag, would have to be pretty big for me to embroider recognisable lettering.
do you want my marisa design specifically? I can do a more fumo one or a smaller shape that will take less time and be less cost. ye paypal good, I dun have a newgrounds but I have a discord, Maxxa #3832

I like the face from this cirno
>Touhou Project Cirno Chimarins Plush Doll Mascot Key Chain EIKOH New
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224405202345?

right now im undecided on this i think we need to brainstorm this to put together a cool design first.

flags are more an accessory than part of the main body but here is my Cirno themed isis flag

>>36160273
I think the black with sharp hints of white looks good, turban goes well just need enough of cirno to be uncovered ,
As much as I love the smug face of the original fumo it just isn’t as menacing
Think of what cirno would look like if possessed of Tanya the Evil for inspiration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxR10LqCUSk

The thing I like aesthetically about desert guerrillas is the way modern weaponry is juxtaposed with scenery and people who look like they are centuries behind the amish technologically.

The red and white pattern on some turbans might look neat if well placed,
How to knit this or knit something that adds that effect though.

babushka fumo made by old Ukrainian lady with love and surplus soviet textiles

>>36160397
made this as a test, little 2 hour project
worked well and is p good fum size
yea, that face would be fine to make
>>36160557
those are made with knitting, which I don't know how to do or have the tools for it, closest thing is mosaic crochet, though that has its own problems, thickness of the peice and due to the size of the fum would be difficult to fit any kind of patten onto a sash or somthing

>>36161472
Holy shit that's fucking awesome!

Only trouble is costume,
Needs to look like a combatant like a hardened soldier whilst still being unmistakably "the strongest"

I think her ice wings were a plastic sheet material on the fumo, maybe subtle elements of a different material for accessories could work so long as they don't conflict with the crochet design

And here my lazy ass was going to post the doll someone made me years ago in a different thread.
Cool shit op, never stop making these.

You should make an account somewhere to show off your work, your work is awesome.

and you can be commissioned there
NG has a good art portal and is a great site to do collabs, if not there at least somewhere


I think the something like The Iron Sheik had would fit her well for her turban but needs to look more cirno

trying out full face for this one, since I made the head larger

What's with the teen meme faggotry?

>>36161472
if you want to make tailban flag make the flag white with and the words black

Puddi!

>>36165503
Blame twitter, and the rest of the normalfags it brought in with the fumo craze.

The real tragedy is a crochet doll being called a fumo.

>>36171567
Trick is getting Latin characters or Japanese characters to look like Arabic calligraphy, still be legible and do that with stitches.

the Taliban flag is just a wall of text done in a fancy style where as isis has less text thus a more simple design with the added bonus of a white circle to make it more distinguished.

that being said Cirno cares not for prayers or ideology she is a one girl yukkuri factory and you might become the raw materials if you are a bit too careless desu.

Terrorist Cirno is best girl for war crime fren.
She radiates cold air year-round handy for the warm terrain of most active warzones today.
Her hobby is making yukkuri and watching them revive as they healed,
but they usually don’t and go moldy instead.

Newfags make OCs instead of shitting the board, /jp/ complain about it because they called crochet doll fumo.
/jp/ is dead. Let's continue spamming /e/ image dump threads.

>>36162828

>>36162828
did some small edits to the concept art but i just feel like its missing something

the headband says baka in Japanese letters

i think a bomb jacket and accessories like a machete for making DIY yukkuri (especially from Clownpiece) just need a design for that which is both recognizable and aesthetically pleasing whilst still being minimalist

I'm attempting to make my own fumos too! This is my first complete build attempt. Took a while to get here and I see many things that need to be improved. Hair is hard.

I have a pattern if anyone wants it.

I've also made these little plushies things. They're fun and I'm learning a lot, but my material is pretty low quality so it fibers way too much alas. I need to buy some better peach tone felt online I think.

>>36189389
I would love the pattern please! Also this is very good! The satin stitch on the face is very nice. Embroidery is the hardest part for me.

real happy with how the face looks, gonna be more extensive with how i do them now, unless the design calls for otherwise
>>36188244
heh nice, the close knit checker pattern is do-able, would go with a lighter dress if you want it tho, either black with black or the white and red checkers with a lighter outfit, camo or tan with various accessories, or even just normal blue with accessories.
keep thinkin on it, find somthing you'd really like

now do it again

>>36059189
cute

>>36195643
Yeah going to redraw the whole thing as pure line art so it would be easier to figure out how to translate it into a real item.
Right now Collage is still ok as it’s a work in progress, maybe a dark blue instead of black might work though I think a more militaristic consume would be appropriate.

As for sewing machine when I need to sew leather or something that is an awkward shape I use a sewing awl which largely is the same tactic that a sewing machine bobbin hook works (2 threads tangling with each other)

Those hand healed stitching machines generally lack a bobbin hook so are pretty useless
You might want to have a sewing awl ready, surprisingly handy if you know how to use it

Know

kind of like the idea of a Serbian Chetnik Cirno existing either as a result of the ISIS Cirno being the same individual and subscribing to multiple conflicting ideologies and factions simultaneously or just her Serbian twin being dispatched to remove her.

Subscribing to such a wide range of contrasting and conflicting ideals might be exhausting and psychologically damaging to some people.

Although such a conflict of interest did not stop The Black Gay Jewish Klansmen of ISIS who wanted to establish a white supremacist Islamic caliphate free of Jewish influence wherein homosexuality is outlawed, despite their Jewish faith black ethnicity, homosexuality and non-adherence to Islam so why should it stop anyone else.

You can truly be anything you want to be no matter what you are if you really give it your all even if it is hypocritical and antithetical to your very being

Twitter is based because they allow extremists and literal terrorist organizations and ban milquetoast conservatives for being pussies.

Also you have probably been inoculated against the Cirno virus which the Chinese government forced you to take because they want to keep their monopoly on math.

good thread so far, keep up the good work OP!

Small question, has anyone here some tips regarding machine embroidery? I currently have access to professional sewing machines but not embroidery machines. Wouldn't it be possible to get an embroidery service to basically do the face and do the rest with my own tools?

>>36175718
Oh man, do you think he'll get annoyed if I ask for a photo?

>>36237161
>but not embroidery machines. Wouldn't it be possible to get an embroidery service to basically do the face and do the rest with my own tools?
are you talking a brick and mortar embroidery service or are you looking for a website.

i would guess it would be expensive doing it online if bought in bulk but if its a company that does it locally they might do it.

the machine to do that costs about as much asa lathe or a pack of fumos at ebay prices so not something out of the question for a small business to get but most would hesitate.

they do like to get their moneys worth if they do so if you tell them you want some samples for a prototype toy they might do it at a a reasonable price but setup fee and calibration is likely to be factored into the cost so its not going o be very cheap unless you are doing it in bulk.

redesigned the ISIS Cirno it just doesn't feel complete though its missing something

aren't you guys talking about plushies

Yo OP, i want a Taliban fumo of Hina and I will gladly pay the price. Just name it and give me your paypal. Get back to me.

>>36265752
But she has so much hair to cover up! They don't make burkas that large.

>>36263439
Japan sending its failed asylum seekers to Gensokyo because they will become somebody else’s problem or they assume the Yokai will just eat them and thus solve the problem.
>>36265752
What kind of Taliban uniform/outfit would look nice on her?
>>36265843
Having some hair sticking out of an otherwise identify concealing outfit would look good but you need to tone down the identity concealing you need the right balance of militaristic and Kawai

>>36265752
sorry but I will only make one taliban/ fumo per 12 months, rule can be broken but will follow a exponential increase in price
and before you ask that inclues any other terrorist/other millitary or paramillitary organisation; hamas, isil, ira, kkk, blm, nsdap, pla, kpa, confederate ect
these take around 30-50 hours to make and I don't wanna spend too much time doing meme ones, also border security is super tight where I am and if I start exporting a bunch of extremist iconography the dickheads will probably knock down my door

>>36269511
Border security? Where do you live? Give me a price and I will consider it. If not or if it's way too much i will make my own then.
Also this message goes out to any one not just OP. If anyone wants to make one for me, give me a price and a paypal account, and proof that it was made.
If you guys just make the uniforms and the weapons that's fine too. I will just stitch it to my regular fumo
>>36265843
Not really that much, plus it's tied to the front anyways. Plus I think these would look better with just a turban and not a full burka
>>36266911
>What kind of Taliban uniform/outfit would look nice on her?
Turban, scarf, the long sort of punjabi piece like in the pic. Preferably an RPG in hand

>>36059310
>>36059189
You have surprised me anon, these are actually very cute and well done, you should be proud of them.

>>36273311
>Border security? Where do you live?
i think he lives in Australia.
Their Emu overlords are pretty strict about anything representing human militias.
>>36150069
given how long these take i think you need a system where op sends you a letter to confirm address and you pay a deposit for work to start on the fumo so he knows you aren't wasting his time maybe start with a phone call or equivalent i thimk discord might be the way to go
>>36160273
but
>>36162828
>yea, will set up media stuff once I've finished the doll I'm workin on rn
so maybe newgrouds since its pretty comfy and deviantart is cancer

>>36281852
yea australia, afp recently got extra powers to enter homes and detain without a warrant if target is suspected of being national security threat and they're already abusing it
that confirmation method sounds interesting, still working out pricing, since the work behind the dolls scale off size pretty heavily I think I'll have 3 different prices for 3 different sizes, currunt 1 foot tall doll might be the largest idk. then additional costs or savings depending on complexity.
happy to be contacted on that discord yea, I made a twitter account last night as well, @MaxxaMakes
>>36278945
Thanks!
ran into a bit of a problem with the current doll, couldn't find right yarn and made a comprimise I wasn't happy with, had to undo some stuff and go out to specialty shops to get the right colours
this doll is the most complex of the 3 I've made by far. gotta be more careful when I plan stuff

>>36282924
You have the god damn army enforcing this stuff not just the cops the MILITARY ffs.
Why do they have such a big stick up their arse there though?
Did they lose EVEN MORE territory to emus or something?

Have people at least started being passive aggressive with the Waffen Coof Coof

Or spoke to them like the scum they are.
“I know, you are “ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS”

“You still part of the Morison youth or have you been promoted to the SS?”
“I have not disobeyed mien fuehrer A THOUSAND YEARS TO FLATTEN THE CURVE”

“No officer, I am not hiding the unvaccinated under the floorboards”

“things have completely changed since “the new normal” for example I used to think it was a bad thing when Australian soldiers died in service but I have since changed my stance.”

If I lived in Australia I would have a big mural built depicting emus having their way with the Australian military to piss them off or maybe even emus putting them through some medieval torture.

Almost considering helping people flee Australia but I live in the UK so it wouldn’t be much better here

Most of the free hosting sited I made the original mirrors on died or have linkrot.

I only made them to reach out to people with backups kinda like when encyclopedia dramatica was reborn.

Mild success and vastly superior mirrors pope's up later so I just let the torch be passed.

How does one even go about making a fumo of similar quality? This image inspired me to create my own Mayumi. Preferably not out of clay though.

>>36318091
It's practice, proper materials, practice, and access to an embroidery machine. I've made fumo faces before with just hand embroidery, and they can't compare to machine stitched faces. Really though, its all trial and error and I'm still learning too.

The thing a lot of new people get wrong is the skin material, which is something called "Toyknit". It's essentially only available in China or Japan, so you're probably going to have to buy it off Aliexpress. It's actually rather cheap, cheaper than alternative fabrics. Plus you really don't use that much once you get the hang of things.

>>36319745
I actually really like the hand stitched look better than machine, gives it that handmade grandma plush feeling.
She looks very cute so far though even if she's naked and bald.

>>36319824
Thanks! That one was really just a test to see if I could fully assemble one or not. It's rather hard to figure out just going off the patterns. I tried to make it a bit easier to explain by adding a few notes on my pattern version, but I'm not very satisfied with it.

>>36319745
Your wisdom and experience is valuable, would you be willing to share your process? I'm of course willing to practice but I wouldn't know how to get started even after I acquire the proper materials.

>>36319944
Totally!
So for someone totally new to sewing n shit, a fumo is probably a bit much. My first ever thing I tried to sew was a fumo head, and it didn't go well. Instead, I'd try and find something small like one of them felt plushie crafts or similar and try and copy something. Don't feel bad about copying as just learning and figuring out all the little tricks is great practice.
For the fumos though, basically the pattern I posted earlier in this thread should be fine. It's 1:1 with a real fumo, so just print it out and use them as a pattern. Pic related is measurements of the 1:1 pattern against a ruler you can use to verify your pattern is full size. You basically trace the pattern over your fabric with something like a marking pen or crayon and using a pair of fabric scissors cut them out. NOTE: in order to make a functional 3d part, you will need to flip the pattern over to create a mirrored piece, if you don't then you'll basically just have two of the same pieces that won't fit. This isn't a problem if the material is 2 sided, but with stuff with patterns/designs or if they have trace marks, then that'll be an issue.
I highly recommend just making individual parts first, like arms, legs, etc. without attaching them to other parts. This is to make sure you've got everything right. I actually have a pile of misc fumo parts that I just use for reference. Be sure to stuff them too, as a lot of the time they will look wonky after you first sew them but will actually look fine once you fully stuff them. The fumo head is by far the biggest culprit of this.
Once you get all the individual parts down, try and fully make a head. You don't need to spend time doing the eyes/mouth/eyebrows with embroidery or anything, for your first few attempts tracing the face features with a pen or something is fine. You mainly want to make sure you can get the alignment right. That fumo WIP I posted a lot earlier has a very misaligned face, which is really, really easy to have happen if you aren't experienced enough. For the face, the most important piece to get right is the chin. If you fuck it up, it'll skew the face and when stuffed will be pretty lumpy/malformed. The key is to mark the center of the chin and the fumo face part as well as where the chin should end on both the left and right side of the face. Keep in mind you WILL fuck up your first few, and it'll feel really frustrating, but if you keep going you're already better than most people who try and make a fumo. Try and look at other custom fumos and see how they're made as well as them from different angles as that really helps with figuing out what piece goes where. An example of this are fumo ears, they are kinda sandwiched between two other sewn pieces and are a fucking pain to get right. There's a website I use that also has 3D scans of a bunch of different fumos, so if you don't have one of your own you can at least see one from different angles.
For the toyknit, this is the seller that most people I'm familiar with use. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32603856876.html?spm=2114.12057483.detail.3.1ebb1ef65aaIGw
I use A or C, be sure to make sure all the pieces are from the same color, I also fucked that up with that naked test as you can see.

Shoot me any more questions or clarifications too, I'm happy to help. There's also a fumo making """discord""" too if you're into that.

Absolute legend, your info will definitely be helpful when I start my own first fumo project next week. Do you have any tips regarding fumo filling? I personally don't really know how to nail that certain firmness of a fumo while still keeping it soft. Regular cotton probably won't do the trick but what about foam rubber that is normally used in seat paddings? That material should in theory be firm enough while also being soft. (would give you pic rel but my region is still range banned, so have this link instead: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32635403716.html))

latest doll almost done, gold rathian armor has a lot of work in it, just the hair and crown to go now, should be done tomorrow, then I can take on the next thing, scotsman's isis cirno maybe, if he's ready.
>>36324441
cute! did you make her? if so hello fellow crochet friend, I love how her hair is done

>>36320407
can you send the link of your fumo making discord ?

>>36326150
Have you figured out the what kind of price you can reasonably make one for?

Do people just contact you on discord or Twitter to confirm plans then to check they are serious arrange a phonecall, Skype, facetime etc.

Then what percentage is paid as a deposit?

>>36327462
thinking around $200 usd for the large ones I'm making now (with changes depending on complexity, for example, if the character is p much naked/skin tight clothes or an animal with no clothes, will probs be less than half the cost. but somthing with complex armor or covered in ruffles will take thrice as long to make, so will probs have an extra 100 on top, the work time on these vary wildly depending on design, so I feel a flexible approach would deffoes be needed)
does that sound reasonable?
gonna make a pattern for 1 or 2 smaller ones that have lower prices, may even make an ultra small keychain one, but not sure international postage would be economical with that.
just contact through twitter or discord dm yea, aranging a call would work but I wouldn't require it if someone dosn't want to and things seem to be working fine through dms.
deposit will depend on how specific the order is. if it's just a basic 2hu will probs be lower, higher for a super specific custom order.

I personally use this synthetic fluff I bought from Walmart. My first few attempts were very inconsistent with how the stuffing looked, until I realized that the key is to honestly stuff as much as you possibly can in. I made a tool to help get the fluff into hard to reach spots (A pen with the ink and point taken out). The difference between an understuffed and adequately stuffed fumo is staggering. Honestly, I've never used any other type of fiber, so idk how something more solid would work.

>>36324782
Sure! https://discord.gg/fumofumo
The custom fumo channel is called "custom fumo hub"

>>36327462
>>36328016
$200ish is pretty standard for a custom plushie. My experience is mostly with custom fumos, but typically they're like $200-$250 each. It seems like a lot, but for the amount of work it takes to make one, it makes sense.

thank you fren, yes it was self made by me. i like yours too :3

>>36328016
interesting, maybe do a size chart
smaller but slightly more complex one might be a better fit.

as long as price can be fully negotiated before work begins it should be ok

finished and ready to start the next one.
if there's no one ready to commission I'm gonna start on patche, gonna make her smaller, around 20cm tall compared to the 30cm of my last 2 dolls to start developing a size chart like>>36335555
says (based quads)
may make her in replica fumo proportions and style, does that sould like a good idea?

Guess the jannies didn't like my original post due to the discord link and deleted it. Hopefully this stays.

Import taxes can be quite high so here is what happens if you do the tax wrong(always send tracked).

Item arrives in destination country and is held at the post office until the handling fee and tax are paid.

Last time this happened to me it was a DVD from America(region free)
It was an £8 handling fee and around £10 in taxes don’t remember exact figure.
The latter is calculated based on the price of the item so if you declare the item to be valued at $200 when posted the customer will be taxed as if they have bought $200 worth of trade.

That is why even IF the customer pays full price you should declare the item as being worth $5 - $20 when posted because the customer will be made to pay more if you don't
How much to post to Dunrossness ZE3 from Australia?

some of my renting friends keep getting evicted because of all the people who want second homes in the country because lockdowns are worse in the cities which means all the landlords want to sell.

its basically confirmed lockdown powers are permanent in Scotland too

is there a re-mailing service that can just send it to a post office in china to take advantage of the fact our cucked governments charge them fuck all

>>36352475
can use sendle for a little better price, 17.50 usd to uk if under 250g (19.16 for under 500g)
can't really find a good remailing service, and wouldn't want to overcomplicate the delivery, massively increasing the delivery time and the risk of loss
just have to deal with $1 of tax

anyone got good pics of fumo without clothes?

Try and make something! It feels great to make something with your own two hands

>>36397624
I'm a fumo-virgin but it does look interesting. Is yarn expensive?

>>36397689
Fumos are fun to attempt to make, but hard. They don't require yarn though, its a different material called "toyknit" though I wouldnt concern yourself with that stuff at first. I suggest playing around with some cheap craft store felt personally.
Yarn varies in price depending on the quality and the blend (percentage of materials the fiber is made from). Stuff like wool is more expensive than synthetic, but softer etc. It's pretty self explanatory

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to attempt to answer them

Bear with my retardation please.
>I suggest playing around with some cheap craft store felt personally.
Felt is the material used in picrel right? Is there a pastebin of some sort where I can find more information or should I go trial and error?

>>36397957
Yep that's felt! Depending on where you live you can usually find it at craft stores or places like walmart if you're a burger.
As for pastebin info, info on what?

>>36398036
I was wondering how they stuck the pieces together, I'm guessing it's stiched, but I have no experience with that either.

>>36398087
For some pieces its glue, the others its thread.
Basically if you are attaching pieces end to end, its thread, and if you are attaching pieces like those felt triangles on Okuu's skirt, then that's glue.
Look up a few guides or just fuck around. Most people do a lot of trial and error. I know I did.

>>36398087
if you do use glue use it sparingly, dots rather than coating the sides of the peices you want to adhere.
stitching is p much always the better choice if you're able.

whats the deal there now?
they can basically take your accounts from any website away from you, not even for committing or even being suspected of crime or even conspiring/contemplating,
but now simply if the police deem it useful to them.

i imagine they would open up and inspect every letter/package if they had the manpower to doso.

and you guys might not even be allowed to leave Australia without an excuse as it was in the USSR

How will this affect the fumos?
is there a glowie proof way to reach you/negotiate

>>36429796
just contact me through twitter or discord, the authorities shouldn't give any problems

>>36430340
so i start talking to you, details goes through well,
we then discuss particulars including payment and address.

For Patche it's quite fitting since she already has that blocky hime cut look. You can switch between both depending on the girls hairstyle.

>>36450867
yea, for especially blocky, short hair and very specifically shaped bangs crochet sheets would work well, but for real long hair and styled hair it's troublesome.

Also, got commissioned through my discord to make suika in the same style as this patche, will be the next one I make

Compared to traditional sewing, how difficult would you consider knitting what you've made to be?

How much would you charge for one of these.

>>36480229
havn't tried making a doll through sewing before, don't have the materials or equipment to try it, these do take quite a while to make though, and making new patterns from nothing is somthing I suprised myself by being able to do to.
>>36481085
probs $200 usd

>>36483842

i am afraid of your dolls

>>36546880
why?

guys how do i sew two tubes together
i made the feet and the legs but cant wrap my brain over how to do it so they join right.

>>36553174
So there are a few ways you can do it. The easiest though probably most annoying would be to cut the sitches so that the foot and leg pieces are flat and join them together.
2nd method is that you turn both pieces inside out, and line up the seams line up, and sew as normal until you start to reach the end where you won't be able to access the seam anymore. From there, you need to stop and tie the stitch, flip back normally, and do a ladder stitch to fully seal it.
As you can tell, it's easier to do it while both pieces are still flat.

>>36558328
Err strike that second method. I had to think about it more.
So basically, in the way you have them now, you can flip the shoe part so it's the same orientation as the leg, (as in both edges facing same direction). Placing them against each other, hand sew a stitch on the inside of the shoe and leg, going around until you can't anymore. Tie the stitch and complete from the outside using ladder stitch.
Apologies if this is too confusing, at work atm. If you need help I can take a picture explaining what I mean

>>36059266
>>36059189
these are cute

>>36558328
mistakes were made and i turned one foot inside out when i shouldn't have, or didnt when i should have, im not sure.
but i carried on, she's gonna wear boots anyway.

It's just a test though, and I turned her into a pillow
It looks fine but the actual fumofumo have thinner outlines

>>36588919

i kinda wish i would have kept it one color but i got excited after watching a few youtube guides on how to embroider

But why are they smug?

>>36497422

Extremely wholesome, both need to be patted and loved unconditionally

>>36608914
You need those v shaped relief cuts in order to make the hair concave. The sewing term for them is dart iirc

Would you pay $1,000+ usd for this?

>>36608914
What the other anon said, and I'm not sure if you've just stitched it for testing, but hair is glued on to genuine fumos. Also, the front and back outermost pieces usually go right up to the top seam of the head.

>>36617479
I just sewed shit on the top to see how it would look in that photo, i've never held a needle in my hands and have no idea what i'm doing.
It's slightly improved now.
I took the pattern that is earlier in the thread and tried to make a fumo and utterly failed at it, so i got on paint and enhanced the image x200 and its going by slightly better although its much bigger than what i thought it would be.

>>36160084
give her AK, add plate carrier and that scarf thing Islamic extremists wear on top of the head, replace rpgs with small SAMs (surface to air missiles)

>>36617967
Better than my first attempt lmao. Practice makes perfect and your embroidery is very good! Just keep going and you'll be making great fumos sooner than you think.
Also, it'll look better if you stuff the body more. That'll rid most of the rinkles

heres my last image in progress, its just the details on the dress, the pride flag tiara, and the cape with the sky on the inside left, im liking how its coming together
