Comment on COTT -- Cutesy Minimalism by tamerofhorses
*laughs* Well, that's half the fun. I can't sew either, but that didn't stop me from giving an art project puppet a three-piece suit. (Which, after it occured to me to look up a pattern, actually turned out quite well.) Hm... Actually, I think it would be fun to use these for a base. If I can find some fabric somewhere.
Reading week gives you sewing material? Not quite sure how that works, unless you did one like my elementary school did where you added a frabric feather and/or other marker thing for every book recorded.

Regarding Reading Week -- no, I just decided to go to a Fabricland over the one week holiday, buy some scrap supplies, and then try sewing something based on the Basic Plushie shape that I found on deviantART. Universities generally don't give out goodies, unless you count chemistry lab stuff (which probably aren't the best for sewing) 
Heh, you've definitely done better than me with actually trying to find patterns. I just made mine up for my plushie, and I could never get pants that worked. And if you do make plushies, that would be pretty neat. I'll probably try it myself if I ever go home during the summer and can pick-up my remaining scraps and supplies.

*facepalm* Oh, *that* reading week. Somehow, it always makes me think of books. And I agree--Chem lab stuff is never good for anything but explosives which, albeit amusing, would not be good for plushies.
Well, I'm lucky. My mother used to do a *lot* of sewing, so I just took her patterns, scaled them down and used those. But we're pretty low on fabric, so I'd have to find some... Maybe I can cut up some old t-shirts or something.
