In regards to the plush cleaning guide, is there anything else I can use besides a toothbrush? Would a facecloth work as well?

>>25820188
Ehhhh... It doesn't really have the bristles to brush the nap back out. It will work for the cleaning just fine, but you'll need something else for the drying part.

This is just guess work but judging by how they look, it seems like you could just cut off the hair very close to the bottom. Then just sew to mane on over the little bits left.

What >>25829979 said, but use a stretch or ballpoint needle in that size.

Get a thread color thats about a shade lighter than what your sewing for the best look, though white thread with light minky and black thread with dark minky should work too.

If an idiot like me that has nothing going for him can get a giant pone, then anyone can. The only real advantage I might have is that I live in my own home.

I can also attest to the 26 inch Aurora Pinkie as I own one and she is great for spooning/cuddling/lifting your spirits. I have one Agatrix Cadillac pone and two more Agatrix Cadillacs on the way and yet I will still squeeze this Aurora Pinkie. If there is a will there is a way. Your life will change once you get a giant pone plushie.

>>25831231

I barely have $50 to my name. College is a pain in the fucking ass. I'd take the Aurora Pinkie, but I'd much rather commission a giant pony. I guess beggars can't be choosers, though.

I just want to cuddle the big Twilight plushies in this thread so fucking badly. Getting my hands on a giant pone like those would be a dream come true, but I just don't have the money to buy one or get the supplies needed to make my own, and even if I had the money to make my own I don't have the skill or patience to put up with that type of project. Big pony plushie limbo sucks.

I do have a big Yoshi, though. He's fun to cuddle and spoon, but he's not a pony.

What kind of stitching is that on the tail?

Has anyone tried using thin sheets of cork board instead of paper for patterns? I've been thinking of giving it a shot since it seems better in almost every way, no tearing, you can re pin it as many times as you want, it won't bend when you're tracing it, etc

>>25835917
The darker pink lines on her tail are actually embroidery.

>>25835948
some use cardboard paper for the manes as it can bend easier

yeah, I've been sleeping with her every night for 8 months, I need to give her a tide bath but the cardboard spine would disinigrate

>>25840346
yeah, but they look much better now since I ran them through the wash (it got rid of the outright black spots), but the grey will never completely come out, that's just the nature of minky, especially with such an impressionable light pink color. But with purple, you can get away with a lot more, just look at some of the older twi butt (some pics were in the last thread I thnk) and you'll notice some greying as well, but you have to look for it
In fact qt's pinkie is a shade darker than every other pinkie and I'm ok with that


Anyone got that pic of the two 20 year old teddy bears?

I'm actually fresh out of the plush closet so I don't know very much about this hobby yet. I have a China-made-for-the-Japanese-market AJ and AB as well as a Ponk in some kind of soft fabric courtesy of secret santa and I love them dearly.

PJ's for my plushies? Do you have any links for instructions or tips on how to make those? That sounds absolutely adorable.

>>25841471
>some kind of soft fabric
that is prolly minky

>Do you have any links for instructions or tips on how to make those?
I wish, I've gone through 2 plushmakers now and still haven't been able to get some PJ's for my girls. The best that I can recommend is look up a diy tailor guide after picking a fabric you like and start pinning and sewing as you go

This guide on how to sock might help you learn how to do clothes sewing in general though

Alicorn OC anon here. So, update. I'm not making it. Not yet at least. I went to my local joanns today and they didn't have the correct colors. Instead, I'm going to be making a ponka with colors I'll be receiving in the mail. Probably gonna order samples of the fabric today to see how they look in person before I buy them in total. In the mean time I'm gonna work on my applique technique to try and get it to be somewhat decent.

On another note, Pic related from Grunt's stream is also pretty much guaranteed to be made into a plush at some point. God bless.

>>25841844
hey you grabbing the minky from Big Z Fabric? cause I already have some and they are the colors I posted to you already and they actually look fine

>>25841911
Yeah. So I should just go ahead and get them?

>>25841824
Cool. This thread has given me a lot of really great info so I'll be sure to post something valuable in return. Probably won't be until after the holidays though.

Also I just realized I'd have to cut the strings that tie her hair to her body. Shouldn't be too much of a problem for AJ but I definitely don't want to do it to my AB as her hair is tied to her face. Ponk should be easy though.

Will this thread last until after Christmas? I really want to show off my plushy when I get it

Read reviews about it. Take note that with a small hoop you'll be limited to doing small eyes/cutiemarks. Also bottom end embroidery machines tend to be like $400 bare minimum. So if you do buy it just expect to be disappointed.

>>25839508
If you want to do small embroidery, that's a fine machine. I believe it's the same as an SE400 with a max hoop size of about 4"x4".

No, but I can take a few comparison pics with her and my BaB Twilight. Twilight has not been washed and has mostly been on display since I got her, though she has gotten the occasional cuddle.

>>25851476
I suspect I simply need to pay the €9 in income taxes that are probably due considering the total value of the shipment (~€45). I was just interested if this is usual procedure for international shipments.

Also I regret not asking 4DE whether they can put both my plushies in the same shipment, because not only would I have saved precious monies on shipping, I also suspect that I'll have to go there for the second one too which could then be avoided.

this is really the best thread here, it's so tranquil.

also how do i get myself one of those giant plushies, could anybody direct me to them.

>tfw live in the UK and most of the fandom is in 'Murica so there is no good merch/nobody delivers.

It turns into a clusterfuck when I start sewing. Nothing ever gets put back but it's nice for in-between sewing jobs.

Trying very very hard to waste as little fabric as possible.

>>25854940
Cardboard box + pins at various points are your friend.

>>25854940
>>25855000

Oh, and try to cut a seam allowance of about 1/4 inch around it. Makes it much easier to sew and align the parts.

>>25855000
Cardboard box for what? A more sturdy pattern or just an extra way to disperse the weight of the bottles across the pattern?

>>25855019
Do you have any suggestion on how to actually cut a 1/4" all the way around? So far all I've done is just cut randomly around the edges and then when I'm pinning, line up the lines on each side and pin through that. Getting a perfect seam allowance all the way around seems impossible.

>>25855059
Cardboard box to place the minky and pattern on. You use the pins to hold the pattern down on the minky.

As for a seam allowance, you can make one by using a ruler and marking out 1/4 from the edge of the pattern, then cutting along that. Helps your sewing look a lot tidier because the pieces align much better that way.


I did it the way you mentioned in the past, but trust me it looks so much better if you take the time to put in the seam allowance.

>>25855092
I don't have difficulty tracing since I just use my hands to keep the paper flat where the weights don't quite get it all but I can see how that would work. This is the first time I've used weights. Before I was just pinning the pattern to the fabric which caused little folds everywhere.

>using a ruler and marking out 1/4 from the edge of the pattern
That's a TON of marking. You'd need to mark every few inches to keep a good eyeball line on where to cut. I just had a freaking really good idea though based an my mother telling me to use a compass. I just taped a pencil to my Sharpie and it's roughly a 1/4" from the edge of the pencil tip to the marker tip. If I drag the pencil around the pattern while keeping the marking tangent to the line, it'll give me a perfect allowance all the way around.


I don't think my Rainbow is going to be finished by Christmas.

>>25855203
I just drive the pins straight into the cardboard. Find it works better than weights.


As for the seam allowance, shit, I forgot about that method. I have 2 pencils in that same assembly in a cup 3 feet in front of me that I used ages ago.

I do all my patterning with Adobe Illustrator and it does the seam allowance for me

>>25855263
Unfortunately I already have half my pieces drawn and my seam allowance doesn't fit in a few spots. It'll have to be used next time I make one. Another method would be to make a second pattern than is just slightly bigger and trace both but that's a lot of paper. I hope my pencil/marker thing helps others.

>>25855340
I just use a bigger pattern and don't mark my sewing line. After maybe an hour or two of machine time, you sorta learn to sew without needing a line to follow for the most part.

>>25855203
This is actually pretty genius!

>>25855407
I'm retarded when it comes to keeping a straight sewing line. I know the machine has lines for seam allowances but I'm terrible and keeping everything straight as it passes under the foot. I like having that extra line to follow when sewing. Then I know for sure if I'm off because I'll be off the line.

>>25855415
Feel free to steal my idea. It seems so obvious now.

>>25855465
>I'm retarded when it comes to keeping a straight sewing line
It really just comes with practice, that's about all there is. It took a little while before I started getting things nice and straight, but your technique will make you sew straighter than just following a marked line.

>>25855550
Well thanks for the walkthrough. This pencil and marker is really helping. It's actually double helpful because if you put the pencil on the pattern while marking it holds down the paper and keeps my marker from slipping above the fabric. The last like 5 posts or what not have made a huge difference for me.

>>25855741
Always happy to help out a fellow horsefucker. I wouldn't be making plushes if not for this place.

So I have a general question for my plush friends..

What do you think about the Build-a-Bear ponies?
Are they good quality?
How soft are they?
Should I just go to the mall and make myself one?

>>25853902
oh I'm saying my pinkie doesn't have buttons and that she needs some cause the pocket folds on itself

>>25855960
They are an amazing first plush and incrediblly cuddlable

>Should I just go to the mall and make myself one?
Yes

>>25855960
They're awesome. The hair can get pretty tangled on them if you're not careful, but they're unbelievably soft and super cuddly. If you don't feel like going through the whole process, you can ask about buying one of the plushies on display in the store. That's how I got my Twilight, but I'm not sure if that's the case at every store, especially given that it's the holiday season.

>>25855960
They're soft, and the hair is usually alright, needs maintained every so often. However, you might have less selection now since they are supposed to be retiring some of the ponies.

>>25856268
I think it would be special if i made my own.

I can't recall, but I believe rainbow and pinkie have been, since they were the first ones released. Their site also shows no results for them. Assuming they continue to retire the oldest first I think fluttershy or twilight would be next, no idea on a date though.

God dammit. Finally finished tracing all the pieces for a LS, small, and beanie pattern and I'm missing the back of the head for my LS because the pattern piece fell behind the table and I missed account for it. I laid out everything pretty well I think. Some of the pieces don't have a proper seam because I didn't figure out how to do it until after I already started. I'm going to have to retrace the bottom right corner for the third time to finish my LS. Sucks that I'll need to buy another half yard of fabric if I want to finish my beanie. It was so damn close to fitting it all but the wings ate up a bit more fabric than I anticipated.

That's some nice piece laying anon, but you're gonna have some problems with laying it out like that. Chief problem is that if you're concentrating on the LS plush, you're in for a world of hurt if you have to remake a piece. Also you noticed you noticed you forgot a piece already. I would only make one plush before doing the others, with the most important being cut first.

I notice some strange directions on some of the pieces you made. Typically the wings nap goes from front to back not top to bottom. Also i noticed a belly piece that appears to be upside down.

The other thing I would like to mention is I noticed you're using my modified version of the old Twi-anon pattern I used to make my Twilight. If you're following that, take note that depending on how you stuff her, her face might come out like mine or like Twi-anon's.

Good luck.

>I wouldn't be making plushes if not for this place.
Indeed. I was lurking the plush thread for a few months before I finally hopped on board when the thread got collectively organized and started handing out advice and the pattern I'm currently using.

>>25858762
Thanks, Anon.

>>25858916
If I screw up a piece then I'll just be delayed while I order another bit of minky. I wasn't originally planning on laying out all three projects at once but I was really going for minimal fabric waste and the small pieces fit in fairly nicely between some of the bigger gaps. I only plan on working on one at a time. If I have motivation to make another plush after Rainbow I will buy the 2.5 yards at once instead.

>wings
I figured that the nap on the bottom of the wing didn't really matter since it'll be attached to the body anyways on the inside where you won't really touch it. Also I planned on using those for the beanie since I'm still unsure about my pattern and therefore expect I'll screw up some other stuff anyways.
>upside down belly
You're actually right. I guess I didn't notice. It's a longer modified piece for my beanie anyways and therefore isn't a big deal to me.

>old Twi-anon pattern
I've made all mine based off that pattern so far. I did modify the nose ever so slightly so it doesn't curve upwards sharply. My Octavia was made with it and I'm not sure what you mean about how it looks. I am rather happy with the pattern considering it was free.

Oh, as I mentioned before I also flattened the neck. All my ponies had a bad habit of looking down so hopefully the flat neck will fix that issue this time around.

Why does this sound familiar... I think he contacted PlushyPuppy with the same shpeel. He'll never get a plush with an attitude like that. Even if a plushmaker worked 100% for free, the materials and shipping for a lifesized would be over $125...

>>25861653
Pattern was created about 9 months or so ago by an anon who was just learning to make plushes.

Said anon and myself have gone on to make plushes full time, and we've learned the value of a seam allowance when it comes to our patterns.

Alright I need you guy's opinion. Should I save up to buy a plushie from EP or save up for an embroidery machine?

Pic Related, the machine I'd be getting. 4x4 hoop so no LS plushies... yet.

>>25863783
Tough choice.

Buy a machine an make infinite plushies, but also have to learn how to make plushies, buy embroidery software, and continually buy materials to make plushies.

Or, buy one or two top tier plushies for the same price.

Really, EP probably only makes $75-$100 or so off each plush with how cheap she works, so you could buy 5 plushies from her for the price of the machine, software, and materials.

But, on the other hand, she's book through summer next year, so you won't have one any time soon if you get one from her...

So I guess it depends on how many ponies you plan to own, and what you consider the value of your time.

>>25860802
That looks like something you'd win as a super prize at DnB or something.

>>25861653
How exactly is seam allowance pre-added to a pattern? When it's clothes then I kind of understand but for a plushie.. A pattern "without seam allowance" just means the finished plush would be a 1/4" (or whatever your allowance is) smaller than anticipated, right? Or I guess 1/2" for both sides. On a lifesize, losing 1/2" over the entire thing. I'm really trying to grasp the concept of seam allowance. I don't get it, honestly.

>>25863783
If you already have plush making experience it might be worth it. If not, you really don't know if you're going to stick with it and investing in an embroidery machine might not be worth it.

Bought the rest of the fabric for my Dashie. Got all the pieces cut out. Bought some water soluble stabilizer. Bought some extra colored thread. I think I'm ready to go.. Also I found some white minky so EP I won't be needing those scraps. Thanks again though.

>>25864692
No problem! Glad you found some.

Also, seam allowance is either pre-existing on the pattern or you have to add it yourself. If you don't add seam allowance to a pattern that lacks it before cutting and sewing, sure your plush will be smaller than anticipated, but the problem is how things line up. Corners and curves behave oddly when you shrink them down. Like, have you ever tried to draw a shape within a shape within a shape? The inner shapes start to deform badly near the center. That's an over exaggeration because you don't have a 4 inch seam even if you didn't add allowance, but the idea is there. Things will be ever so slightly off and won't match up well. Less noticeable on a lifesized or something, but detrimental on smaller things.

>>25863783
That was my rational when I bought a machine (exact same one in fact) and now not only do I have as many plushies as I want, but I also found a great new hobby

>>25865252

>>25864985
Guess I've never noticed things not lining up properly since I'm terrible at pinning anyways. I'd pin through the fabric putting the pins matching up with the lines and when I look at the seam, in random places it's off by like 1/8". Although now that I drew out a seam allowance and my pieces are lining up, if nothing else it feels a lot nicer going through the machine. Also lucky for my the seam allowance of that pencil/marker thing is the exact width of my presser foot so everything feeds through nicely as well as me being able to sew more accurately.

So I have these iron-on patches that I bought well over a year ago and never used them. Turns out they are damn-near perfectly sized for my LS. I think I'm going to sew them on instead of trying to do applique. Not sure if I should though because the patches don't sit flush with the rest of the fur.

Looks quite a bit too small to me. You're better off doing the applique. It shouldn't be too terribly difficult.

Are you making this dash lewd?

>>25865688
I think sewing them on is a great idea. No offense, but it will probably turn out better than anything you could do by yourself.

>>25865931
Hmm. Looking at yours maybe it is a bit small. So far all the cutiemarks I've done have been way too big though and I don't like the way they curve when it all gets stuffed. Part of that is because I always put them too high up. I'm going to go size test them on my Octavia and make a decision. I haven't found a use for the patches yet.
>Lewd
I need to find a zipper guide. I bought an invisible zipper and some button snaps. If I can figure out how to do the zipper without ruining my body pieces I will be. Problem is I don't own a mary to test fit.

>>25865954
You're probably right. I did buy some water soluble stabilizer though so I think my top stitching satin stitches will be better this time around. My Octavia cutiemark didn't come out too bad and that thing was a bitch with all the curves. I'll need to make a decision. Kinda procrastinating right now because I don't feel like making the applique eyes.

>>25866473
If the patch was somewhat bigger I would say it could work, but it just seems too small. Also note that the patch could change the way the minky's shape is.

As for lewd, what size is this I'll probably be updating the lewd guide a bit this week with some stuff on the zipper, as well as having some specific numbers for the ~36 inch size.

>>25864692
yeah, it just comes out smaller. when i make my own patterns i just draw a piece out to size then add seam allowance. so it'll still be the height i want. i guess i don't consider it a big deal to resize patterns and whatnot.
it saves time really - it seems like a pain to have to add allowance every time you trace out the plush. do it once on the paper and it's done for you every time. no doing the opposite now for me - i know i'd forget and cut out a piece without seam allowance.

>>25866527
The patches are pretty stiff.. I guess I'll just do some applique when I get around to having motivation. There's something about Sundays (today is my day off) that are super lazy. As for the zipper.. What if your zipper is longer than the seam? I forgot to measure the seam so I just got a random zipper in the right color. I never measured my pattern before.. Just did and Octavia is about 30" from hoof to head and the pattern is 32". So there's about a 2" discrepancy when all the fabric is folded.

>>25866558
So.. Let's say you want a 36" pone. You print the pattern for 36 1/4" and then just trace it right? Then when it comes to sewing you have to use the lines on the sewing machine itself to make sure you're consistently sewing 1/4" from the edge of the fabric. Is that how it works? Right now I just trace the pattern, and retrace the seam allowance. Then when I'm sewing I just follow the black line all the way around. Needle on the line seems to be easier than using the edge of the fabric.

Forgot pic.

Would I be able to put a pony pussy into a Build-a-Bear pony?

>>25866753
>What if your zipper is longer than the seam?
No big deal, you just have to work with it being longer then sew a stop on it. You can then either leave it long or cut it.

The twilight I made came out to about 34-36 inches using the pattern in >>25858916 at 71% scale. Came out to about 39 inches of pattern height I think. Turning 2D into 3D causes some of the height to be lost so you have to scale larger than your desired number.

As for sewing, I just use my presser foot as a visual guide to tell me how I'm sewing. From the middle to the very edge it's 1/4" so I just try to sew with the minky at the edge and it does pretty well.


>>25866795
Possibly, but you're better off just strapping one to it rather than gutting a poor plush. It will be just a toy cover at that size and look like an abomination.
