Showing off a Plushie Custom
« on: October 06, 2013, 03:11:15 PM »
I just wanted to show off my hard work.  I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this so if it's not, can someone put it in the right place?  Thanks.

My friend asked me to make a custom of her friend's ponysona so I took up that challenge.  I had so much fun making mkia9's ponysona I was eager for another challenge.  So I found a new pattern, from the lovely SilentWolfCreation on deviantart which can be found here.  If you're a member here, thanks again for the great pattern.  The pony was a going away gift and she says he loved it.  Knowing that the giftee loved what I made is the best feeling of all.  I just may have to do this again but first I need to practice by making myself a Dr. Whooves. :)

This is the image I was given to work from.

I chose a microsuede-type fabric which was not as easy to work with as I would have liked, but the colour was great and I thought it might be more masculine.  All in all, given my sewing inexperience (I literally had to read the instruction manual on mom's sewing machine to refresh my memory from high school), I'm pretty happy with him, though I know there are flaws.

I used iron-on transfers for the eyes and symbols and learned the peyote stitch for the bracelet so it was like 2 crafts in one.  He was a lot of hard work and I'm inordinately proud of him, so thanks for looking and letting me show off a bit.

Wow! Honestly if you hadn't said that was the first one you had made (that's what I'm gathering from what you said), I wouldn't have been able to guess, you did an awesome job :iconclap: I really love the microsuede fabric, I hink it really does lend a more masculine touch to him.

Oh wow! He's fantastic! You did a really good job. That microsuede can be really fiddly to work with.
