>>5743643It depends on when I get things the way I like them. The squids had 8 prototypes, not counting the prototypes for the octopus pattern they're derived from.
Honestly I have no idea how to explain how to design for minky's slight stretch cuz I originally learned how to pattern for a 4-way spandex knit. As far as I'm concerned minky doesnt have a stretch. The bigger concern is the nap.
Hollow shells would definitely be quilted, but a solid shell would just be needle sculpted. I'd stuff the shape, then sew a whorl into it like a super thick quilt.
