Description
A plush I made for my boyfriend, TheInvertedShadow, based off the pony he created for me in GMod. She took forever to sew, and was a combination of machine and hand sewing.

The main body pattern I found here on DeviantArt and was made from brown velour (soft and fuzzy). The mane and tail were from a pattern I made based off of Fluttershy's mane and tail shape. I got lucky on those since because it was Christmas time, Jo-Ann fabrics had different kinds of Santa hat trims and I found this great fleecy/wooly trim that had little curls already put into it. I didn't have a lot of the stuff (only about a yard by 5 inches rectangle), so the tail is double sided but for the mane I had to back it with white fleece.

A big shout out to my mum who helped me with the cutie mark. She has an embroidery program that let her scan a picture of the mark (the Uktena symbol in this case) and turn it into an embroidery. We used a varigated (multi-shade) thread for the mark. The eyes were also embroidered, but the threads were pretty spaced out for some reason and didn't look quite right. In the end, I painted over them with fabric paints, and I think it looks good.

The finishing touch, the rose. It's just a generic little ribbon rosette you can get from any craft store.
