A bit of designing :)

I'll show a little bit of how I do the designing... sometimes just starting with a pencil and an empty page... just drawing what comes up in my mind. Sometimes I skip the pencil and do my drawings immediately on my computer on an embroidery program called Accurate (I noticed that this can give problems afterwards... in the way that   some .... claims to own those characters and you don't have a simple drawing in your hand to proof that you designed them :(... Now whatever.

I also work with drawings from customers... (If I like them :))) ) of which I make first the 3D and then the doudous, bibs, pacifier holders, xxl, puppets, blankets, sleeping bags, bedside covers, pillows, play carpets, activity carpets etc etc ... whatever needed :)

An example :)

first drawing of Ponito

embroidery design and coloring of Ponito

Ponito 3D :)))

based on the same body of Ponito; the first drawing of Dragoo (I use the same body for practical reasons: the making of the 3D will be easier. Afterwards the production will also be easier for teaching and cheaper for the cutting forms... hmmm that doesn't always work out that way :p :p)

coloring and embroidery design (we try out the different colors while embroiding with real fabric, not just Fotoshop which doesn't give the chance of touching the fabric :) )

and hop her's Dragoo in 3D (it's not as easy as just saying "hop" but that's for another post :))))
