Anything I find useful that other people would find helpful will be added here.
WEBCRAFTING
- Hover.css || Fun, stylish ways to spruce up your buttons and images using CSS effects.
- Melonking's IFrame Address Script || For those using iframes and want the ability to link their pages.
- iFrame Resizer || Nifty little JS code for those who want their iFrames to resize based on how much content is on the page.
- webcodes.tools || Basic tools that will help out with customizing your site.
HANDCRAFTING
- Big Z Fabric || Minky here is very affordable, not a huge selection yet, but you can purchase great quality basic colors at a cheaper price. Also has faux fur for fursuiting. Free shipping available(?)
- Minky Boutique || I pretty much only use this if I can't find the color I need from Big Z. Great quality fabric with a huge selection but is a little pricey. I usually browse their remnants since those are discounted. I don't think there's free shipping available.
- Howl Fabrics || Similar to Big Z! I've used them after I seen that they also offer minky. A lot of fursuiters use Howl for high quality faux fur, they offer a vast amount of different colors. I'll consider them a little more on the steeper end compared to everything else on this list. Shipping takes a little longer compared to the other options here.
- All Brands || Sewing machine dealer that has some nice machines for reasonable prices. This site also has a huge catalog of other appliances other than crafting machines.
- PATTERNS: A couple of places I would recommend for simple patterns to start off with is from BeeZee Arts and CholyKnight/SewDusune. Both have very comprehensible, affordable pattern books for beginners to help get them into plushiemaking.
- Ribblr || This is another pattern site but it's mostly geared towards crochet. Lots of clothing and plush patterns!
ART
- Paint Tool Sai 2 || For illustrating, drawing out embroidery designs, this is what I normally use for all my artwork.
- Inkscape || Free vector program that has many cool features. I use the "InkStitch" extension that programs illustrations into embroidery files that my embroidery machine can read.
- Aseprite || Fun little program for pixel art illustrations and animations. Costs $20, but can be
purchased at a discount if you get it from Steam during a sale. I use this for all of my site's graphics.
- Sheezy Art || Alternative to deviantART, profiles are extremely customizable and community is super chill. Is a bit slow to load at times.
FUN STUFF
- FarmRPG || An idle farming game that expands to other skills like cooking, crafting, and exploring. It is free to play and has an extremely friendly, helpful community.
- FutureMe || Write a letter for your future self, you can change when you'll receive the email.
- Bookbub || For those who read e-books may want to check this out to see if they can get some books for cheap!
- Listography || Self explanatory, make lists to your heart's content.
- Infinite Backlog || This is the one I currently use for my game backlog. Game tracker with customizable profile and challenges you can take part of.
