PWF:Dib Felt Plushie

Description

So here's what I've been working on for about three months. A Dib Plushie from the Comic playing with fire by Reitanna-seishin on Deviantart. 
I originally started this back at the beginning of December when I left School but the First had a lot of mistakes and I didn't like it because it had a lot of gaps between layers. So I redid it and started the second version a few weeks ago.
I asked Reitanna if I could do this and she said okay, since she is the creator of Playing with Fire, Click on this link to go to chapter 1 of PWF: reitanna-seishin.deviantart.co…

Materials used:
2 sheets of Black Felt
2 sheets of a light skin colour felt (I forgot what the colour is called) 
1 sheet of blue felt
1 sheet of grey felt
1 sheet of white felt
1 sheet of light brown felt (sorta like a honey or caramel colour).
(That's 8 sheets of Felt in total)

A wide range of different coloured threads to suit the felt colour. 

A certain amount of stuffing.

I also used an Outline for Dib, which I drew on my iPad in a Chibi style (that's why Dib looks different rather than the Normal Invader Zim style)
You can generally find this stuff at a art/craft store. 

Method:
1.Trace out the main body shape on the skin coloured felt. Once you do both sides, cut it to the desired shape. 
2.Next on the front shape, stitch on the white of the eyes first, then the colour of the eyes, then the black outline. Repeat for both eyes. And don't forget a nose!
3.outline on the glasses of the back of the first sheet, then sew it on the front to make it look like he's wearing glasses (You can use Felt or a black coloured fine liner) I added on Eyebrows but you cannot chose to do this if you wish.
4.once the details are on the face, stitch together the two layers of felt, I added in cotton stuffing, I used a pencil to get stuffing into the small places like his arms and legs.
5.the next step is the hair. I did it on both side but you can chose not to. I traced the hair onto black felt then sew it onto his head.
6.cut out pants for both sides then stitch them on.
7.Start next on the shirt, cut out the blue felt then a circle from the grey felt, draw on the thin eyes and line on the circle then stick it onto the blue felt before stitching it all together onto the body.
8.Second Final part is to create the jacket Dib wears, use black felt and make sure you get it right while sewing it on. (This was kinda hard for me.)
9.last step is to create the boots then you should be done!

Just for the record too, this took me over 8 hours, (I did it over three days.)

Outline I used can Be found here, Please ask before you use it:

PWF Zim will be next! :)

Okay but what exactly makes this specifically a "playing with fire" plush of Dib. It's still just Dib. Why did you need permission from Reitanna-Seishin? She doesn't own Dib....

I mean no hate by this I'm just astonished really.
