I think a better option is to put a zipper on it so that it can be washed and restuffed any case any thing happens

I think we can all agree that my neighbor Totoro is an amazing movie

As someone who's never sewn anything in years and has never looked up content on sewing, idk why this video was recommended to me... but I had to click to point out how genius of a name sew&tell is.

Me: * Moving into a dorm and doesnt have a bed * Also me: *Totoro Bed*

my own sewing machine is broken sooo time to do this all by hand!

I'm putting all the money I get for babysitting and buying all the materials for Totoro and makeing HIM my new bed

Just finished! I'm absolutely a beginner at sewing, but here's some tips (some not necessary) for anyone who wants to make this: • When using the template to cut his outline out, make sure to make his arms more pronounced! Add a bigger curve to his arms, or he'll look a little nubby. Same with feet, but be careful. I know Totoro's stubby but my finished product looks limbless, lol. I wish I cut out his arms bigger 😭 •Optional: add a backing to this insides. My grandma helped a lot with this project, and INSISTED it must have a lining. I bought 4 yards of cheap white muslin to line it (the body, belly, and ears). It'll make him less lumpy when you fill it, and more secure. • Don't add a zipper unless you make the ears and body one unit. I actually bought a zipper with the intention of sewing it on, but I realized I can't wash the plush anyways because I sewed the ears on stuffed separate. You can't submerge the stuffing at all, so I ended up not sewing a zipper because I couldnt wash it anyways. But if you think you'll refill it, it may still be worth it. • For fun! Put pipe cleaner in the whiskers instead of stuffing. It makes the whiskers less limp and more flexible. • I highly recommend leaving the hole for stuffing him between the ears on the head. It makes hand sewing on the whiskers 10 times easier because you can reach in through the head. • I found that 15 lbs of Polyfill was the perfect amount. I wanted a super squishy Totoro, but if you want more or less it's up to you. (Also double the quantity of black felt, I ran out of space for the whiskers). Super fun project! I love my new Totoro 😊 Beats paying hundreds of dollars for one.

I don't care if it matches with my future home decor or not, but I HAVE to have this somewhere in it. This is everything

I made this! Just finished today actually 😁 it's the smaller version, about three feet tall. I hand embroidered his face details (it was too small to sew on with felt) and added a zipper to the back! I love how he turned out, he's so big and soft and cuddly 🤗 cost me about $25 in materials, which was great, considering these retail for like $200

Who else is *’watching’* while reading the comments. Congratulations, you have made it to mine ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

*I can barely make one a size of my hand*

OOOH DO A GIANT PUSHEEN!!!!

This idea was so cute. I wanted to make it right away and when my goddaughter said she wanted a Totoro room I decided to make it as her Christmas gift. It’s bigger than she is and she loves it. Thank you so much.

Ok I would actually pay for it, I want it so much

Me: *looks up “how to make totoro plush”* *expects a ton of videos for tiny plushies” *gets this instead* Me: *has never loved anything more* UwU 😍😍😍💗💓💗💓

why am i watching this? I cant sew for shit.

CUTE!! You could leave the ears as main body and stuff a little at a time, then do a top stitch between the ears and body. I've done this with dolls that have individual fingers. You just make stitches and cut between them, then flip right side out.

I don't have the right color fabric or skills to make this, but it inspired me to make a simple yet HUGE pillow. It's the largest thing I've ever sewn, and I'm glad I made it. You inspired me!

Says: ‘Tortaro’ Me: **spits tea*

I got my nephew Totoro for his first birthday in March and it’s his favorite movie (I’m so proud the boy has taste). I’ve never sewed before but I am DETERMINED to make him this for Christmas.

A bit late, but do you still have the template?

I made it with stretchy fabric and foam bead thingies to make a giant totoro bean bag chair

* walks into textiles class * _"Ms Peterson, I have a project for the class.."_ its now sitting in the corner of our textiles classroom watching over us, disgusted by our terrible cosplays because my teacher is a f**king weeb.

Girl, where have you been all my life??? Thank you!!!! I really appreciate this tutorial.

Sorry if this sound weird: I WILL BREAK INTO THAT HOUSE JUST TO BE WITH TOTARO

I see Totoro... I CLICK ⭐️🌟💕

素晴らしい😘✨✨ こういうのあったらなー とは思ってたけど こんなに大変な作業して 自分で作ってしまう所がすんごい😳💕！

日本のアニメトトロ見てることに驚いてます！！ 英語は喋れないけど、この嬉しさは伝わってたらいいなとおもいます😘😍😍😆😆😆😆

Just a heads up, it's Totoro. Love this though! I've always wanted one of those giant cushion Totoros, never thought to make one for myself :)

I am absolutely stunned by your work.

This is the video I have been looking for, for YEARS!

Would it be possible to buy it already sew from you

Ah you're so pretty ^ㅅ^ and i love this. I'm excited to see more ... (too soon, lol?, but i am)

WOW I'M GOING TO MAKE IT FOR MY BABY NURSERY ROOM DECORATIONS IDEAS.

Totes excited to make this, thanks for sharing! I'm a newbie with a sewing machine but just made a plush size totoro for my son and sooo ready to give this big guy a go. Although just priced it up and realise I MUST not mess it up! 😂 Love your videos!

You should do this with Snorlax. ♥

She makes it look so easy

OMG I JUST LEARNED SEWING IM DEFINITELY DOING THIS. I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO THROW MOBEU FOR THOSE GIANT BEARS

you're voice is so relaxing!😻

Wow! You're​ sooo talented! I could never do something like that by my own. Because of this, I want to ask you, if you could make a DIY that's easier than this. Do you know what I mean? I think you know...

Your hair is soooo cute! And I am totally going to make this!

I would've tried leaving the top on the stomach part open so that I could slide in and snuggle 😂

I wish I could make something like this but one I don't have the money and two my mum wouldn't let me but maybe in couple of years I can

I’m going to like this for the effort you put into it cause I wouldn’t have time to make this

I LOVE Totoro sooooooooooo much! And than I see this... It is soo inspiring, I'm thinking about making this Totoro!

I really wanna make this exempt use bean bag filling 😍 sooooo cute

How much did it cost to make him? I made a small totoro once but I don't think I can afford to buy that much fabric and fluff
