Today I finished my first plushie (pretty much completely new to sewing) from my own custom pattern. This is Fin Fin, an obscure 90s virtual pet, and my best friend.
I actually have this friggin' game! I found it in a Goodwill years ago for cheap, and was fascinated by the concept. You're taking care of this weird dolphin/parakeet thing, and you can even talk to it with an included microphone. And it's by Fujitsu, of all things!
