Finally!!! Pattern and How-To!

Taking a break from all my crazy work to get this to you lovelies!!!


Lots of how to pictures below!

Yea!!! 
Remember that this pattern is for your own enjoyment and that of fellow Who fans.  Please don't use my pattern to make dolls to sell.  Thanks!

You'll Need:
-  Copy of the pattern (found at http://www.myimaginaryboyfriend.com/adiposepatterns.html )
-  1/2 yd. White Polar Fleece (will make at least 3 Adipose)
-  Black Embroidery Floss
-  White Embroidery Floss
-  Iron-on Transfer Pen (I use, and LOVE, the black Sulky brand pen)
- Tracing paper
- White Thread
- Scissors
- Sewing machine

Directions:
1. Cut out pattern and pin pieces to fabric.  Cut 2 of the body pieces, 1 top piece, 2 top arm/side, 2 bottom arm/side, and 4 feet


2. Use tracing paper and iron-on transfer pen to make patterns of the face, arms, and feet.  Remember that iron-on works as mirror image so reverse the face pattern.  Also remember to make hands and feet for both left and right. Iron patterns onto fabric.  I set my iron to wool which was warm enough to transfer but didn't melt the polar fleece.  Still be careful. . . that stuff MELTS!  Trust me.


3. Embroider the face.  I used a split stitch.


4. Fold back in half and make a small mark 3" up from the base of the body, between the legs.  Pin and sew up to the mark using the smallest seam allowance possible, I eyeballed it but it came out to be about 1/8".  This make the Adipose bottom!

monster butt seam!

monster butt!

5. Use sewing machine to sew feet onto front and back of monster.


6. Sew up legs and feet.  Use 3/8" seam allowance for legs and follow pattern lines for feet.  Trim excess fabric from around feet, careful not to trim too close to the stitches.


7. Pin sides together and sew up the arms following the iron-on outline.


8. Trim excess fabric from arms.


9. Turn arms right side out and stuff.


10. Do the same with legs, turn the right side out and stuff.

11. Sew top of head to the front and back.

12. Pin sides onto the body.


13. Sew sides on remember to leave a hole to turn the doll right side out.  I left the hole on the bottom right side.


14. Turn right side out!


15. Stuff your Adipose!  Sew up the opening by hand using a hidden stitch. Frolic and wave at your new lump of fat!


I think that covers it all. . . Let me know if you have any questions!

Hearts!

hahaha monster butt! The picture of them in the flowers is so freaking cute! I am going to have to try this out. Btw where do you buy iron on transfer pens? I have never seen one.

I've found them in the notions section of my fabric store and from online craft stores. Here's one place that sells them:
http://www.uncommonthread.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=UT&Category_Code=Transfer+Pens
Or if you want to buy more than one:

Ah, too cute! is the white embrodiery floss just for the shine in the eye? *squints*

I'm totally saving this to try later. I like it best of all the ones I've seen posted so far, and I don't know how to knit the others anyway. <3

Yep! White floss for the glint in the eye. I did the whole eye in a split stich and then did two little stitches on top in the white.

This is awesome, I might even try it out myself (I knew I got a sewing machine at Christmas for a reason)
Though, does grease proof paper work just as well as tracing paper?

I do all my patterns on greasproof paper or baking parchment, and it's always worked for me.

Way too fabulous for words! I'm a big Doctor Who fan so this is SOooo awesome. I was wanting one of those little guys even after I saw where they came from (i.e. popping off of people's bums, etc.). Really, really cool!

So funny! I'm a big Doctor Who fan. My husband really got me started. When we saw this episode, all we could do was laugh hysterically when the little "adipose monsters" were on the screen. His birthday is May 17th. I'm definitely going to have to make one for him!!!

Thanks!

Thank you so much. I made one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cle0patra/2516184478/) for my friend (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cle0patra/2515372699/in/photostream/) for her birthday and it just turned out brilliantly. I was sad to give it away.

adipose

Thank you for the great pattern for the adipose, My little girl ( 9 years ) tried to do it and i tried to do one for my other girl ( 5 years )it was straight forward enough but not having a sawing machine it was a bit difficult and didn't turn out as expected. i was wondering if you sell the ones you have made. yours Mr F Walker. thank you
