Part 2 I Mochi Plush sewing Pattern + Tutorial Book .PDF + Embroidery files

******************************************
This listing is for PART 2 of this Plushmaking Book - which is a DIGITAL PDF FORMAT, NOT A PHYSICAL ITEM. 
This is not meant to be a standalone Tutorial. Part 1 of this book is needed for completeness.
******************************************

My first plushmaking book - Pinku’s Guide to Mochi plushies! 💚

Learn how to make your OWN plushies! This Book will teach you how to sew a variety of adorable round Mochi-shaped styles. With some practice, it’s super easy to modify their pattern into any character design you can imagine. They are also a perfect fit for Cupcake cases! And satisfying to squish.

--> Turn your knowledge into profit! 
You are allowed to sell plushies made with and based on this book - as long as you simply provide credit. This is meant for artists operating on a hobby/ small business scale, not mass-production. 
Re-selling or sharing the book itself or the included embroidery/ pattern files is prohibited.

--> Fast and simple!
With practice, you can finish several Mochi plushies within one day. 
The pattern is kept simple - and the book comes with in-depth instructions and pictures to help you with each step of making your cutie. Basic sewing knowledge is recommended - passionate beginners are also welcome to give it a go. 

--> Content for various skill levels
This book comes in two parts! 
Part 1 (separate listing in this shop) does not require an embroidery machine and is suitable for any plushmaker, even if you sew by hand.
Part 2 (this listing) teaches you about even more Mochi styles along with fitting embroidery files and accessories.

Other info:
- Printable PDF patterns are included in both A4 and letter format.
- Each Mochi’s basic body is ~7cm tall and ~8cm wide (~2.8”x3.1”) excluding ears.
- To achieve an optimal outcome, stretchy plush fabric has to be used. Using “stiff” material like cotton would not result in the desired round Mochi shape.
- Once purchased, you can instantly download the Tutorial’s files. (Look up “how to unzip zip files” online if needed.) Part 1 (separate listing) Includes the PDF instructions along with the pattern in A4 and Letter format.
Part 2 (this listing) comes with the PDF chapter, its embroidery files and the printable A4 / Letter pattern.
- Mochis fit into store-bought paper Cupcake cases with a 5cm / 2” base diameter. The book does not include anything related to crafting these cases.
- No refunds will be given for “accidental” purchases made with the expectation of e.g. receiving a finished plush. As mentioned in the beginning, this listing is for the digital version of the Tutorial Book only.
