Description Something I've been working on for a while, worked on it on and off for a few months as time permitted, took maybe 35+ hours in total. Fully hand sewn and hand embroidered.

This is technically my second time making a plushie as I did a trial run just to see how difficult it would be. Now I can appreciate the effort others put into making theirs especially if they've also made the pattern themselves.

Anyway, some thanks:
For making the pattern and construction guide.
For her embroidery tutorial and advice.
For miscellaneous advice.
For answering numerous questions I had.
Lastly, many thanks to numerous others for leaving tips on their own projects

Thanks, perhaps in the future. As this is the first serious sewing project I've done, I want to be sure she holds together over time, and ideally I'd like to make them a bit quicker before making anyone wait.

Also have two of my nieces wanting me to make ponies for them, hopefully wont take me as long to make those

But you may want to have a look at Valleyviolet's page, she's got a gallery of ponies made using her pattern and some of those crafters take commissions.

Well, she's the person who posted just above you But here's a link anyway: *valleyviolet also you may want to check out *caashley as she regularly opens for commissions, or ~navkaze who's in Europe (so no import taxes) both of which do make great plushies using Valleyviolet's pattern. Hope that helps

Thanks, I practiced the eyes a few time on scrap fabric until I got something that I was satisfied with, quite time consuming but worth it
