Hello! Today I received more photos from my manufacturer of some of the plushie samples. They took my changes into consideration and tweaked the details accordingly. I still have a few minor adjustments that I'd like to make, but I'm super excited about the progress!
Sakura the Cat
The new sample of Sakura has a much improved head shape. The eye placement is higher as well as the dress including proper pink fringe and ribbon detailing.
Clover the Rabbit
The changes to Clover were the most dramatic. I changed the color of the brown fur to be a bit darker since I didn't feel it contrasted with the white enough before. The eyebrows have been removed and the embroidery on the paws has been changed to a lighter color. The biggest change comes to the outfit, now being made of a material that mimics corduroy in a color that is much closer to my original vision. I'm super happy with the details of the overalls!
Strawberry Jacket
There were also drastic changes made to the strawberry jacket! The old sample was a flat material with printing on it that was much too dark. Instead of printing the lines, I wanted it to be engrained in the fabric, so I opted for a material similar to the one used or Clover's overalls. The buttons are also functional and the jacket can be opened and closed!
Overall I am excited about the changes. Please leave your feedback below for any other tweaks you might deem necessary and I will bring them to my manufacturer.
