In the beginning...

Hey Everyone!! Welcome to what I am sure will be an interesting journey into the world of plush toy design. Just to give you guys a quick background, I am currently a professional toy designer working for a pretty big corporation. However, most of the toys I work on are mostly plastic and electronic. As a result, I wanted to teach myself how to "professionally" sew and create some pretty nifty things in the process.

I first starting throwing around the idea of creating my own line of Channel Changers when I noticed that a few companies starting making collectible plush characters. I thought this was a cool idea because you see collectible vinyl toys all the time, but plush is something fairly unique. As a result, these are the main examples that caught my eye and inspired my designs...

Right now, I already have some designs in the works which I will be posting in the coming weeks, but my biggest challenge will be learning how to sew... So, if you guys have any easy to follow and informative sites or instructions, please send them my way! Wish me luck!!!
