Description Seven months after sewing my first pony, it’s finally time for a group shot of the main cast!

What an adventure! I started out sewing ponies to satiate a selfish desire for better quality plushies after inadvertently getting into MLP. Although I had only intended to get plushies of all the main characters out of this endeavour, I gained so much more from the journey alone. I learned many new skills, and developed an appreciation for an oft-underrated craft and a profound respect for its practitioners.

I cannot mark this milestone without giving shouts-out to those who have, in one way or another, helped me come this far:


Thanks also to everyone who has fav'd, watched, and commented. Your support helped pull me through some uncertain times, and I'm very grateful

More detailed pictures of each can be found on their individual deviations:

Thanks! And yes, I admire the tenacity you show in producing great sewing and needle-felting work all by hand! Can't help but feel inspired by that

Wow. Those are some amazing plushies.

9/10, would buy (if I wasn't so poor).

Can't buy no matter how rich - not selling

Thanks though

They are wonderful. It shows that you put lot of love in their making.

And it's quite rare to see a full group of plushies of the mane6..

I- ...This- ...HNNNNG! Your patterns are just so adorable! This might sound odd, but they're so much rounder than most I've seen, and that 'weight' makes them look so cuddly and inviting ^^ I would absolutely buy these, if I had the near-$1k these would doubtlessly cost combined. I just can't express how much I love them ^.^
My only thought? Now you've done the Mane 6, it's time to truly finish the set with the 7th main cast-member... Derpy!

thurinus In reply to UnderwoodART [2013-02-25 02:49:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I don't know how well these would hold up to cuddling since I don't trust my hand-stitching too much, haha. I *might* make Derpy sometime later, but a break is in order for now

UnderwoodART In reply to thurinus [2013-02-25 04:39:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, they don't exactly frail, but I know what you mean - I'd be terrified of damaging them or misshaping the stuffing... but a few gentle hugs shouldn't kill them I don't think I'd be able to not touch them at all
But yeah, you definitely deserve a rest after all that work ^^ I look forward to future ponies from you, with or without muffin-themed accessories ;3

Such efforts are admirable, they all look so good! Probably much sweeter knowing that you yourself are the soul creator of such fine and adorable things.
I would kill for that AJ plush. XD
