Payment & Pricing

​

What payment methods do you accept?

​

I accept Paypal only.

 

How much are your plushies?

 

It depends on the type of plush! I make everything from pokemon to humans. Please check out my commission information and pricing here or e-mail me at commission@serenity-sama.com for a quote.

 

You have a _____ plushie in your gallery, can I buy it?

 

Probably not. Most plushies in my gallery are commissions I’ve done for other people, meaning they’ve been sold already. Unless it says otherwise in the description, I have no pre-made plushies to sell. Please see my store for any plush available or pre-orders ready for purchase.

​

What currency are your prices in?

 

My prices are in US currency.

​

General Plush Questions

​

Can you make original characters?

 

Yes, I can make original characters if you have enough reference pictures.

 

Can you make plushies based on real people?

 

Yes, I can! There are a couple in my gallery, and as long as I have enough reference pictures I can make ones based on real people

​

How long does it usually take you to complete a plushie?

 

It depends how much I’m working, and how busy I am with my own projects. Usually a couple of weeks for one, depending on the complexity.

​

Are your plushies safe for children?

 

No. My plushies are not meant for children under the age of 12. They are meant for light-handling and for display only. They are not meant to be used as toys, as they are NOT toys at all.

​

Ordering

 

How do I order a plushie?

 

If my plushie commissions are open, please refer to this page.

​

When are your plushie commissions going to be open?

 

Again, it depends how busy I am with everything thing else. It’ll be posted in my journal a week or so before I do open them, so the best thing to do is watch me so you’re updated.

 

Can you note/message me when your plushie commissions will be open?

 

No. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to do that. It will be posted in my journal a week ahead of time when I’ll be opening, then again when I do.

 

Can you make me a plushie for a certain date/occasion?

 

Yes, I can, but make sure you tell me while ordering and at least two, three months in advance. If you don’t let me know when you order (this has happened before) I won’t be able to get it to you on time.

 

I see you posting about pre-orders, how do I get one?

 

Pre-orders are done through my shop which can be found here; www.serenity-sama.com/store Like with commissions, a time and date will be announced before hand. If there are no listings in my shop, no pre-orders are available. Whatever is in my shop is what I am offering at this time.

 

What is your Etsy shop link?

 

www.serenity-sama.com/store

 

Do you ship to ______?

​

I ship world wide.

​

Materials and Equipment

​

Can I get a pattern for _______?

 

I’m sorry but no. Unless I have a tutorial up, I’m not comfortable giving out any of

my patterns. They’re like line art to a plush artist.

​

What do you make your eyes/faces on your plushies from?

 

I embroider my eyes. I used to use fabric transfers for the eyes and faces. I got the Staples brand since they’re cheaper than the other ones. You just print them out, cut them out, and then iron them on. Sometimes I use black safety eyes and hand stitch the mouths.

 

What type of sewing machine do you have?

 

I have a Janome Memorycraft 9700 which is also an embroidery machine, and another embroidery machine; Brother PE-770.

 
What kind of embroidery software do you use?

I use Stitch Era Universal to make my embroidery files.
 

Where do you get your minky fabric from?

 

I get it from a few different places! I use www.minkyboutique.com, fabric.com, and sometimes my local Joanns. I get short pile minky for my stacking plush from Hopen Textiles; https://hopentex.aliexpress.com/store/1724559?spm=2114.12010612.100004.2.3aaaf454eulNhq

​

What kind of embroidery thread do you use?

 

I use two kinds right now, guttterman and sulky.

What kind of fabric do you use for humans/where do you get your skin fabric?

 

I use deer suede fabric for human plush, my default color is chamois and I purchase it at http://dollmakersjourney.com/fabrics.html
