What my customers say

I have many of naz's patterns and I cannot express how creative they are! There are a huge variety of species, including uncommon species, and many different options for advanced and beginner plushmakers alike! The videos included are always so clear both with the dialogue and visually. They review many different concepts and techniques even if you aren't familiar with them! I highly recommend them whether you want to learn the techniques, follow the pattern, or learn how to make your own pattern!

I loved the Raven skull pattern, I enjoyed learning new techniques. I was so happy that I was able to make the skull Raven, and your tutorial video was very helpful and clear which made the making of the Raven very enjoyable. I wasn't worried about getting stuck on a particular part of the pattern as I knew your video tutorial would guide me through everything.

I've made many plushies from the patterns/tutorials made by NazFX. The tutorials are very well made, easy to understand and follow along with. Always learning new things from them.

Dathron and Threads here. We love the detailed explanations and the numerous extra hints and tips given in each tutorial. Our favourite patterns are the Fruit Bats (awesome Convention sellers) and the Kobold (personal fav).

I love making plush and NazFX is the absolute best at designing detailed yet do-able patterns. Her creativity is unsurpassed and her tutorials are clear and easy to understand. I have made a wide range of creations from her designs including the fruit bat, baby dragon, plant, piñata, isopods, kobold and more. From the simple to the complex, NazFX is a master creator!
