I wanted to create a closed-wings pegasus and I hadn't yet made Fluttershy (my favorite mane 6 pony) entirely in minky, so...Here's Flutters!
Not for sale. Fluttershy is made from my own pattern and has machine embroidered eyes and cutie marks, as well as a hand embroidered mouth and nostrils. Her mane and tail have carefully machine stitched details and she's filled with supreme poly-fiber fill.
I'm very pleased with how she turned out, and I'd love to hear what you think!
I know that feeling! haha. I buy almost all of my minky online, I suggest fabric.com (search cuddle minky) or fabric depot (search minky) The yellow for this fluttershy I bought in a quilt shop in houston over spring break, but the pink I got from fabric depot. I really recommend both of those websites, their quality's really nice.
how on earth do you make these? she is absolutely amazing! please let me know exactly how you make these dolls so well, i'd like to make some too as a hobby
Umm...What do you mean by "Exactly?" If you want a tutorial, I don't really have one, but I'd be happy to give you tips. And I'm very glad you like them.
sorry if I confused you by saying 'exactly' What I ment was what stuff you made besides mink you made it with. Yeah, I'd love to have some tips, thank you
-Minky (You knew that) -Supreme Poly-Fiber Fill (Softer than premium, becomes lumpy less easily, costs more) -Rayon Machine Embroidery Thread (Usually Gutermann or Coats and Clark) -Batting (Can be bought at walmart next to the stuffing, I don't really have a preference on it) -Woven Fusible Interfacing (For embroidery)
Did you want tips on sewing or making the pattern? And if you don't want to make your own pattern, there's a very nice one for sale here: [link] by a very nice lady. However, it's better for cotton and flannel than stretch fabrics. There's also a free pattern here: [link]
I should warn you though, this is NOT a cheap hobby. The materials get super expensive, FAST.
