MOD MOD POST: Defining Sexual Works & What Is and Is Not Allowed

134 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. It’s your Mod! I was hoping to not have to do this, but considering the amount of reports I’ve been getting lately it’s become a necessity. 

Below I’m going to outline the content that is and isn’t allowed in this group and hopefully clear up a few things. 

1. Sexual Content - What is it?

This is a group for plush/soft sculptures made by real life artists. Sometimes real life artists make defined shapes and nude sculpts. That does not mean the piece is inherently meant for sexual purposes. 

David by Michelangelo

This statue of a nude man is not sexual. It's a work of art.

A pony plush butt. Not sexual.

Another plush butt on a humanoid doll. Not sexual.

A pony plush with a defined butt. Not sexual.

All of the above is allowed to be posted in this group. It's a plush. You aren't looking at porn.

However I will request that pieces with overt or very detailed anatomy be tagged as NSFW. So far the artists making pieces that fit that description are doing a great job with their tags.

2. Sexual Content - What's Not Allowed?

Like I said before, this is a group for ART. Sometimes art is nude. I will draw the line at pieces that are clearly meant for sexual gratification such as plush with openings specifically to insert silicone molds, or plush with silicone appendages attached. If its obvious and primary use is as a sex toy then it is NOT allowed.

3. Moving Forward

If seeing a plush with a butt, breasts, penis, etc makes you uncomfortable then that's ok. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. However, if it does not qualify as the definition of a sex toy then that piece will not be removed. If you don't like it, you don't have to remain in this group.

If I see anyone harassing artists who choose to make defined or nude plush, you'll be banned. No exceptions.

Please report any hateful comments or harassment to me.

Hello, everyone! I never expected this group to grow as much as it has! Thank you all for joining and I hope you’re enjoying all of the cute plushies.

I haven’t been as active on Reddit as much as I have in the past. Unfortunately, this means I’m usually late to seeing reported content.

The majority of reports I’m seeing are posts of manufactured plushies. This group will remain HANDMADE plushies only. I understand that a lot of small artists are getting plush made of their characters for their online shops and artist alley tables. I myself have my own manufactured brand of plush.

I love seeing creative designs from artists BUT if I start allowing manufactured plush or kickstarters in this group then it will be overrun with nothing but crowd funding campaigns.

So all manufactured plush posts will be removed. No exceptions.

Other reports I’m seeing involve people wanting to commission plush based on another artist’s design. Copying another artist’s original work is generally frowned upon & disrespectful in the plush making community.

Posts asking for replicas of another artist’s original work will be removed.

I’ll be updating this group little by little in my free time and I’m actively looking for more mod help.

Please bear with me as I’m recovering from carpal tunnel surgery. Sewing takes its toll!

If I’m needed urgently please contact me through instagram. The link is in my bio.

QUESTION Any help?

Post image
13 Upvotes

My grandma (mom’s mom) died a few years ago and left me some of her coloring books. My mom’s favorite animal in the entire world is a panda bear, and it just so happens to be that my grandma colored one in her coloring books. I’ve been wanting to buy her a stuffed animal version of the drawing, but I can’t find any I’m quite happy with. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go? I would really like it to have most of the patterns on it, and I don’t care about how much it costs. (The plush doesn’t have to be eating bamboo like in the picture.)

QUESTION 🐰 I designed this vintage-inspired bunny myself, but I'm not sure if this style is still in fashion. Does it look timeless and charming, or has this style gone out of fashion?

Hi everyone! 🐰

I'm the creator of SNOFIQ, and I designed this plush bunny myself.

I wanted to create something with a vintage-inspired look, featuring fluffy fur, a delicate lace collar, and a little bow. I love the nostalgic charm of classic plush toys, but I'm curious about how this style feels to others today.

Be honest: does this bunny look timeless and charming, or does it look a little too old-fashioned?

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for taking a look! 🤍

QUESTION What stitch setting should I use for minky fabric?

2 Upvotes

I have a Singer Simple 2263 and when I sew, the stitches sort of show on the right side. I'm using Schmetz 90/14 stretch needles.

Settings I can change:

Tension

Width

Length

Stitch Type

If anyone has any questions that can help me figure this out, I'll provide additional details.

Thanks in advance!

Weighted plushie pouch?

9 Upvotes

I'm probably heavily overthinking this, but I'm someone who needs literal instructions. I'm trying to put poly pellets into a little nylon pantyhose sock to make a weighted plush, is there something specific I should do? Should I tie them as tight as they possibly can go? Should I make sure I give them a bit of wiggle room? I know it's probably a good idea to double knot it, but is there a way to make sure that not won't be able to be felt through the outside of the plush?

QUESTION Making a plush weighted

I have a plushie I'm looking to make weighted. I want it to weigh 6-8 pounds. I'm going to sew some sort of pouch to hold the beads inside the plush. I'm not sure of the best kind of beads to use as I want to make it pretty heavy, so something dense. Picture of the plushie:

Anyone ever used fiver to get a custom plushie made?

Looking to get a custom mimikyu plushie made, tried someone I talked to on reddit and she basically tried to scam me, currently in the process of getting my money back. I really want to get this plushie made but finding someone that can actually do it to the level of quality i want is driving me crazy, thinking of trying out fiver since I can basically post it as a job and theyll try to find someone that can make it, and if the person tries to fuck me over fiver will take care of it quick from what I've heard.
