First plushie!
« on: February 11, 2014, 10:44:40 PM »
I'm a bit nervous to share her...one one hand she's freaking adorable, but on the other I can already see a dozen things that I could do better. The creator's curse is a giant jerk. :redface:

All things considered, she's really not too shabby for a first effort, and the next ones will only get better. :) Meet Scootaplush 1.0!

I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but her eyes ended up WAY too low on her face. From some angles it's not bad, from others it looks like her eyes are melting off. :blink: I'll be extra careful of that next time.

Close-up of her hand embroidered eye.

She's 100% hand stitched, made of fleece and stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The body pattern was made by Voodoo-Tiki on deviantArt, the wings are from the valleyviolet colt/filly pattern, and I tried my hand at making the mane and tail myself.
Will make custom plushie for MIB Fashion Style Applejack. PM for details!

Wow, it's quite small. Surely there are things to improve but that's part of the fun I guess. I never tried plush-making so I'm not much of a help here but you surely did great for a firstie. :)

^^; I found a tutorial on My Little Plushie on deviantArt, and it looked simple enough. It's really not hard! Just time consuming. And I'm way too cheap to buy an embroidery machine. :P

The eyes look kinda sad because the little smile doesn't show up that well in the pictures. I used a screenshot from the end of Sleepless in Ponyville, where Scoots is smiling up at Rainbow Dash.

Wow, I think for a first plushie that is pretty darn cool!  So the eyes are a little low, but they are great eyes!  And you hand-embroidered them :)  Can't wait to see your next one...
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:
