Hi, I'm looking for ponywear patterns. Capes are easy enough to figure out but I don't have any pony shirts or the like to make a pattern from. Any generation would be appreciated.

Once I clean this set up, I'm thinking of selling it and most of the figures. The blond bowl cut figure has almonds no face left, the others have minimal wear but intact faces, and the pool set seems to work but the lawn chair is broken.

If I keep the gymnastics(?) girl in the green shirt, how likely could I make at last  $12 off of the rest?

I'm curious how quickly (or slowly) discoloration such as age spots, regrind, acne cream damage, and others may spread. Photos are most welcome if you have "then vs now" examples.

So, this was my first plush: Spumoni the Popple, lover of retro nostalgia and cold drinks. Most of my sewing experience is from making wearable fursona tails.

Not bad for my first plush, but it took me a few minutes to figure out that the lines of the pattern are where you cut, not where you sew. Despite that annoyance, I may be tempted to try a Pony or Care Bear pattern. Does anyone have examples of plushies made from Butterick patterns, especially those two?

EDIT: I'm considering taking on 2-3 commission slots for handsewn Proud Heart Cat made with the Butterick pattern for $50 each. I'll find a better way of doing the eyes before then, though maybe the eyes won't look so wide against non-white fur. I may later do Treat Heart Pig, Loyal Heart Dog, or Playful Heart Monkey.

I still play Neopets and I heard there is a cool code and I would love a code if you grab an extra (or two) for me (and my sister). My sister can offer a bit of art as trading fodder.

I was born in 1995 but I collected all the MLP I could find as a kid, especially G1, even before G3 came out. Every G1 and G2 pony from my childhood herd (except 2 of the 3 G2 McD's ponies and Skyskimmer) were found secondhand.

Did anyone else have a childhood herd that was older than themselves? When people mention their childhood herd, I get curious if they're old enough to have been a kid in the 80s which I imagine a lot of folks here were.

This is based on a game (Avatar Simon) that I've played on sites like Neopets where you collect avatars. In this case, we'll be using ponies we own. I'm open to suggestions for changes.

Rules:
-Just like in Simon Says, the person deemed "Simon" is copied by everyone else.
-Simon posts a single photo of 5 of THEIR OWN ponies and list them by name, OR post a themed photo (i.e. 5 pink ponies, or 2 ponies with flower symbols) including 2-5 ponies.
-Everyone else posts a single photo of as many of those ponies as they have, along with their names and the number of ponies they have out of the total. (Ex. 2/5) OR post their own version of the theme photo (i.e. your own 5 pink ponies)
-Each Simon gets to host 2 rounds.
-1 round lasts for 24 hours after the initial round post by the Simon, though posts for round 1 still count up through round 2. After round 2 ends, the winner, the person with the most points OR as chosen by the Simon if it's a theme round, gets to start their own  game, consisting of 2 rounds.
-The old Simon is encouraged to alert the new Simon via PM that they won.

Detailed Rules
-Nirvanas and alternates count the same as their common versions. (I.e. Italy Tootsie and US Tootsie both count as Tootsie.) Hybrid ponies count as both ponies individually.
-Simons may use any generation.
-By default, the generation doesn't matter, HOWEVER the Simon may specify a generation if they choose. (Ex. Applejack is any gen; G1 Applejack is just G1 Applejack)
-An army of 1 pony counts as 1 pony, unless it's a theme round.
-A custom of a pony on a Hasbro body counts.

I'm open for suggestions! If it looks good, I'll start the first round.
