How long did it take you to make? And how much? Instructions would be very much appreciated if you have a how-to guide to make one as awesome as this. |

About a week, working off and on. There's lots of hand work involved, which is time-consuming, and since each pony is a little different (expression, mane, tail, cutie mark, horns, wings, extras, etc.) each one often requires a re-drafting of the basic pattern for each different body type, as well as individually drafting the pattern for the mane/tail, wings, etc. This was a gift for one of my son's friends, so cost? Not including my time? Less than $20, in materials, but it's fleece. Minky'd be more, since the fabric costs more. Instructions? LOL! Draft a pattern and test it. Do this 18 times over three months. Fiddle with it until you hate pony plushies, and can't remember why you started doing this in the first place. Fiddle some more. Hit on a design you like. Sew up the body, sew up the head and wings. Stuff them and stitch them together. Draft the mane and tail. Test the draft.....you want I should keep going? Sorry--they're a lot of work. Basic idea/order: Work cutie marks. Sew body. Attach shoes. Sew wings and wire. Stuff body and wings. Sew head and stuff. Attach head. Sew ears, and attach. Draft, test, and sew mane/tail, horn, crown (which is beaded BTW), chest piece. Draw, stitch eyes, and applique on. Embroider lashes. Attach horn, then mane once eyes are done. Attach tail. Attach any additional bits--crown, etc. Admire handiwork. List on eBay. Be disappointed with response. Go back to making them for friends. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the "awesome." |
