Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of my favorite protagonists, so naturally I had to make a plushie of her. I chose Nancy's look from her final showdown with Freddy, the scene in which she vanquishes him - at least temporarily. In that scene she's wearing pajamas with floral embroidery. I couldn't replicate the actual embroidery on her pajamas, so I decided to go with some fairly simplistic flowers to give a similar vibe. I also included the bandage she had been wearing since she burned herself in her dream. You'll notice I have her streak of gray hair in my template, but not on my plushie. I intended to include it, but forgot to. For this reason, it's not mentioned in the tutorial, but you could easily make it using gray felt or embroidery floss.
