Hi everyone!

I want to make a 10cm oshi-nui style plush as a birthday gift and I already have the pattern ready, I just need to find a fabric type for it and a place to print it. Already looked around locally, but since it would be only an A4 sized sheets of fabric they don't accept it. I want to avoid embroidery and just drawing the details on fabric with markers will not look as good as I want it, so i need the whole thing to be printed on fabric with me only needing to sew it together.

Anyone knows any sites that are good for that and EU based? Also type of fabric to use other than minky?

As the title says I am looking for seller recommendations for flakesoil and possibly leaf litter. Thank you in advance!

I found a caterpillar on the sidewalk and decided to pick it up (it's really hot where I live, above 30 Celsius) and it had old skin stuck to the leg. I tried the method with a damp qtip and it was able to get a big chunk of it off on it's own afterwards but there is still a small string of old skin. Is there anything I can do to help or it's fatal and I should just keep the caterpillar as comfortable as I can?

How it looks currently

The old skin

I made a post about a beetle grub I found around two months ago and this is sort of an update.

I have not seen the grub for around a month and the flakesoil had fungus gnats in it so I tought the grub might be deceased and wanted to throw the soil out...but now I am pretty sure the little one is still alive since I found what I assume to be a pupa chamber? A solid, egg shaped clump of dirt compared to the loose substrate around it and I think I did see it very gently rock when I picked it up and it's still intact.

What to do with it now? It's really late where I live so I need a temporary solution for the night and a permanent one too once I can get supplies. I still have the old container and some leftover soil.
