Hi! I'm Stella. I make handmade, semi-realistic, floppy wolf plushies from my own personal pattern that I've been working on since January of 2025. Each wolf is currently OOAK due to changes in my pattern in-between each one. I'm always working to upgrade my style and one day achieve my dream wolf plushies!You can adopt wolves from me directly on Instagram when I post them for sale. Sometimes I offer pre-claims which secures your slot before the wolf is done. I do not accept customs or commissions, I only work from designs that I have planned myself with the fabric I own at the time!

How to purchase

I sell my plushies directly through Instagram and PayPal. You can read my FAQ and TOS for more information, or you can always message me on Instagram. Most of the wolves featured on my website aren't for sale. Whenever I have a wolf available, I'll make it clear on my InstagramPlease keep in mind my plushies are handmade artworks meant for light cuddling/handling and mainly displaying, they are not toys! Please don't expect to pay manufactured plushie prices for my wolves

My sewing journey

Since childhood I've always collected Douglas dogs and was obsessed with wolves, but never found wolf plushies that I liked as a kid.I started sewing in the summer of 2023 after wanting to recreate the manufactured plushies that I love collecting, especially Jellycat smudge bears. I made a few wonky plushies using free patterns and cheap fleece. Once I got the hang of my sewing machine I wanted to dive in and create my own pattern, since I knew I wouldn't feel fulfilled if I only created plushies using other creators' patterns.I learned how to make my own patterns by observing manufactured plushies, creating a prototype out of fleece, making changes to the pattern, and repeating that process until I was happy with the result. I made my very own handmade bears that I was happy with, but wasn't fulfilled continuing with the pattern, so I moved onto rats.SnowFeather0's rat pattern on Etsy was so amazing, at this point I've made over 150 rat plushies using their pattern. I started selling rat plushies on Etsy after being inspired by my sisters crochet business. I got a few sales which really motivated me in the beginning, and it helped me get even more comfortable with using a machine and many types of minky fabric. I never thought I would make so many rats, but I'm so grateful for the opportunities that my Etsy shop has given me. It's been able to finance all my other sewing, like my biggest passion project: my wolves.In July of 2025 I made my first wolf using my own pattern based on a Douglas dog in my childhood collection. I modified the pattern right away to have lankier proportions, but I had no idea what I was doing or if the changes would work. I was still only working with flimsy minky fur and used any fabric I could to make my prototypes before diving in with the good faux furs I planned to use one day. Yunus was my first ever wolf prototype, and he still has a special place in my heart because of it. Although I was severely discouraged and confused after making him, I'll always love and keep him now.

After Yunus I completely restarted my wolf pattern. I had no idea where to go from there because he didn't look anything like how I wanted, so I restarted with a tape sculpture method instead. From July to October 2025 I locked in creating a few head prototypes based on the sculpture. I was still using fabrics I had already collected over my sewing years to avoid spending money on prototypes, but I knew it would mean the pattern would look completely different when I used faux fur in the future.

In November, I finally started on the body portion of my pattern as well as using fur. I got two yards of fur from Joann as a gift, so it was perfect to use for prototypes. Because the fur had such a tough backing and was around 3-4" it was super difficult for me. I went through a crisis trying to learn how to effectively hand sew using faux fur, but eventually I got the hang of it (and realized the Joann stuff wasn't great for what I'm looking for). After finishing each prototype I edited photos of them on my Ipad with Procreate to test out changes I could make to my pattern, it was a slow process since I was figuring out what I wanted them to look like and how to make those changes all at the same time. I would've benefitted greatly from creating plushies from other creators' patterns since I was a beginner pattern creator and sucked at hand sewing, but I'm a perfectionist and have to do everything 100% myself for some reason.

I bought a few pounds worth of scrap faux fur fabrics from a fellow plushie creator which made testing out the fabrics I would eventually be using very easy. By January of 2026, I used scraps to make a new prototype head, this was a monumental checkpoint for me because for the first time I really liked how the head turned out! I could see the potential for my pattern because of the furs I used, so I was excited to buy fur soon. I initially wasn't going to create a body to go with this head, but I decided because the head turned out better then I expected, I would buy the rest of the fabrics I would need to blend the furs nicely and make this into my very first official wolf plushie. And that's how Yukon (wolf 01) was born!

Do you accept commissions/customs?

Right now, I do not accept commissions or customs. I only work from my own designs using fabric I already have and want to experiment with. If you're looking for a specific coat color of wolf (Eg: red, coastal, black) I'm probably already planning on working on it eventually, but you can always feel free to ask! If you're looking for something I already plan to make, I'll usually allow you to claim it

Why so expensive?

My plushies are completely handmade artworks made for gentle handling and mainly displaying, they are not toys and so will not reflect those prices. I decide my prices based on the cost of materials and hours of work (usually at least 15 hours per wolf).I completely understand if you can't afford my work. I also can't afford to sell my plushies for insanely cheap when they're expensive to make and take a very long time

Where do you get your materials?

I get most of my fabrics from BigZ, Howl, and Fursuit Supplies. I also use Amazon and Aliexpress for other materials such as plastic and glass pellets, stuffing, etc.

Will you make other animals?

I have no plans to make coyotes, other wolf species, dog breeds, or any other animals right now. Wolves are my main passion project and will take up all of my creative free time! However I also make stylized rat plushies and customs on Etsy that I will continue to make

Do you accept trades?

As of right now I can't afford to trade my wolves instead of selling them. If you see me doing a trade, it's probably with a friend and a rare occurrence! I won't ever accept manufactured plushies as trades, only handmade work from other artists

Do you ship internationally?

I'm always open to shipping internationally, however some countries make that process impossible. If you'd like to purchase internationally, please be prepared to pay a LOT for possible customs and VAT, high shipping costs, and currency exchange rates

How do I purchase a wolf?

If I have a wolf available I'll make it clear on my Instagram stories and in a post. You can DM me if you'd like to purchase and I'll send you more information and confirm the price and shipping with you. I don't do holds or extensive payment plans, so I usually expect payment up front right away. Sometimes I allow pre-claim slots, meaning I'll show you the wolf I have planned and you can choose to claim it before it's done, but you must be able to purchase right away once it's done! You can read my TOS or DM me on Instagram for more information

Do you sell on Etsy/Ebay?

I only sell wolves directly through PayPal on Instagram. Etsy and Ebay fees are super high, so I would have to price my wolves for hundreds more just to cover the fees Etsy takes. I accept payment through PayPal using Goods&Services or Family&Friends. I use USPS shipping and will always provide tracking and update you through the entire process of shipping!
