Crafting diary: my very own P-chan

13/11/2025

For obvious reasons, I've been rewatching the og Ranma 1/2 a bunch lately. Such a nostalgic show…

One night, as I was in the middle of an episode, I decided on a whim to make a P-chan out of felt.

Say hi to Ryog—I mean, to P-chan!

I looked around a bit and came across this pattern. It actually includes a (very tiny) P-chan on the second sheet, which I used as a reference to alter the main pattern (mostly just giving him bigger ears and altering the head shape a bit so it's more P-chan like—)

P-chan on my bed at 4:30 a.m. while I decided on the eye placement. I wrapped pink felt around his paws to make his little feet later on.

For his scarf I sewed a long rectangle(a tedious process that made me wish I knew how to use any of the several sewing machines in this house) and roughly smeared some black fabric paint in some sort of pattern. I ended up shortening it later on, but I still think it’s a bit too long… I'm really happy with how he turned out though. Looks just like the real thing, dont’cha think?

I wanted to make his eyes so that he'd be looking up at me.

My dad and my brother haven't seen Ranma, but they liked him so much they wouldn't let me have him back until they went to bed. Does Ryoga have some sort of curse that makes people want to kidnap him, I wonder…
