Long time lurker, first time poster... lededahde everybody...
Ok... a couple projects and some questions....
First, the projects... 

Just a oriental-inspired top. It's not quite finished yet. The closures are still pinned :-S

A rag quilt I finished the other day. The dark pink has leopard print like spots and the lighter pink has cute little fairies on it.

Now to the questions. On the top, it has a lining, but I dont like the way it fits me. Is there any way to take in the sides without taking it completely apart while still keeping the professional look?
Also, a while ago I saw a post where someone made a stuffed tauren from World of Warcraft. My fiancee just reached lvl 60, and I would like to make one of his troll and one of my orc. Do any of you have any suggestions for still keeping the stuffed animal look while making the features more human like? Or a pattern that would help me with the facial features?

Thanks all!
