Unfortunately, due to pattern limitations, Sit-uppies are not suited for species that don't have tails. Please keep this in mind when considering which style of our custom plush you'd be interested in!

Featuring a similar level of simplicity as the Shoulder Pets, Sit-uppies are a budget-conscious option for characters that aren't as likely to sploot! (Pictured: Gale's fursona in both Shoulder Pet and Sit-uppy style!)

Meet the Sit-uppies! An adaptation of the Shoulder Pet pattern, Sit-uppies were especially designed for anthro-style upright characters. The pattern was carefully developed to use the base of their tail and their back legs to help them sit up.

Are you guys ready to meet our newest Plush style? Debuting this year! As is obvious, the Sleepyheads and Shoulder Pets lean heavily on the feral side, and anthro characters have not been as well represented by our custom plush. Well no longer!

Sleepyheads have a much larger pelt which allows for a lot more detail in markings than the Shoulder Pets! However, Sleepyheads are a strictly feral style, and we do not at this time offer any clothing or accessories.

Shoulder Pets also come to two alternate styles: XL are nearly twice the size of the Standard Shoulder Pets; Chonk are around the same length but nearly twice as wide, perfect for heavy-set characters!

Hand-sewing can be a specific, deliberate art form all its own. For example, consider the satisfying visual and tactile feeling of an even, perfectly spaced hand stitch, deliberately used as a design aspect. Quality depends on the care you put into it, much more than the method and tools you use.

Stress affects memory so much! And that also suggests to me that you might have a plush that predated our maker tags with our name on it? So in that case I'd be even more impressed that you did successfully remember our name π

I admire & enjoy the work of many plush makers, many of whom have become my friends over time. Art is never rivalry, unless you mean in the "our skills inspire each other to strive higher" healthy way. Art of all forms is about selling an emotion. Your product is the format of that emotion.

For smaller volume or for when you're just starting out so that you don't get overwhelmed, it's okay to start small with just a couple listings on ko-fi or something. π

But that's the result of nearly 15 years of offering the same product on the same shop. when I started the shop, ko-fi and Shopify and more weren't even options. And I do this for my full-time job as opposed to a side hustle or a passion project.

For us, Etsy is π― where we are and want to stay, bc of the volume we sell and because of the ability to passively find new customers. Honestly, the power of patience, good customer service, and time can be proven just by googling "paopu fruit plush". last I checked, the top THREE results were us π

The fees are higher than at other shops, but the amount of traffic that Etsy can automatically drive to you simply by you having listings on it that are properly tagged with good pictures can ABSOLUTELY be worth that financial cost. Plus it has integrations with shipping and statistics services.

Always. There's no such thing as too many plushies. Where to put your store largely depends on how you want to go about running it. Places like Ko-fi and Shopify have very low startup, or no fees, but you have to drive all the traffic yourself. Whereas, Etsy is basically Google for handmade.

Plushies in clothes adds at LEAST +10 cuteness! π Oh man, OMGcon! That was such a fun one. Everybody's vibe was excellent. We started making custom plushies bc we were inspired by another artist. To know we've been able to inspire someone else in turn? It's truly a gratifying feeling. πππ
