About

Hey I'm Lex, owner of TaleBound. I'm a digital artist whose hobby is making crafty projects away from a computer screen. I've delved into sticker/button making, traditional book binding, 3D printing, and now plushie making.My plushies are made and shipped from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. My workshop is shared by my two curious cats who roam around.Most of my plushies are made with patterns and files from the lovely Sew Desu Ne? unless noted otherwise.You can find my in-progress images and videos on Instagram, and general chatting on Bluesky. If you have any questions, you can send me an email.

F. A. Q.

Do you take commissions / make custom plushies?
Not at this time.
How do I care for my plushie?
Spot clean only. Use a damp cloth with mild soap.
No soaking or scrubbing. Air dry. Avoid direct sunlight.
Handle with care. Tugging limbs or accessories might make them loose.
Hugs encouraged. Cuddles improve mood and fluffiness.
What plushie patterns do you use?
Most of the plushies I make are with the patterns from the lovely Sew Desu Ne? unless noted otherwise. All plushies have attribution to the creator of the pattern.
Where are you located?
Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Where do you get your supplies?
Minky Fabric - Big Z Fabric
Sewing and embroidery supplies - Marathon Thread USA
Polyfill stuffing, pellets, ribbons, other supplies - Michaels
