Qizai the Brown Panda
On October 28, 2016 by fluffmongerIt’s been far too long since my last post. This one will be brief, but I hope it will help me get back in the habit of posting regularly.
Earlier this week, my husband sent me a link to this adorable, rare brown panda named Qizai! I immediately fell in love with him. If you haven’t read his story, it will melt your heart!
I knew right away that I HAD to make him. I haven’t sewn for fun much lately, but I already had a panda pattern I made for a custom order last year. I also happened to have just enough organic plush fabric dyed brown!
I stuffed Qizai with organic buckwheat hulls, and he weighs in at over 2.5 pounds. His ultra-soft fur paired with the weight of the buckwheat hulls makes him feel almost real.
You can read more about the process of sewing the panda pattern in this blog post.
This Qizai has already found a new home. You can order your own Qizai to be made here.
I just had to compliment you on your rendition of Quizai, the brown and white panda. I know there will be many disappointed panda fans since he has already sold. Comgratulations on making your Kickstarter goal. I really think your stuffed animals are wonderful ( and of course there are never enough pandas in the world.)
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, Anne! I take orders for custom orders or made-to-order items that have sold out. I think I definitely need to make at least one more Qizai in the near future ;). Your website is very cute! I would definitely vote for Pinky!
He is sooooooo beautiful!!! I was wondering if you would be willing to make another Qizai plush? I would absolutely love to have one to add for my collection. 🙂
Thank you so much, Elaine! I’ve sent you an email.
I just discovered this panda today and I absolutely need one! Are you still able to make one?
I just found out about this panda today and it’s so adorable! I absolutely need to have one of your beautiful plushies. Are you still able to make one?
My son is really wanting an organic panda (and zebra) and I haven’t been able to find them the past year but I came upon your blog -we’d love the panda and thought I’d ask if you might be able to also do a standing zebra? He’s still upset Santa didn’t come thru the last two years which happens to be around his birthday too. Adoring your stuff! We appreciate the details and organic!
Hello! My son is really into Qinling Pandas… wondering if you still make these?
