The lovely Princess Luna as an adorable little filly. <3 I sprayed glitter on to her shoes but it doesn't show up at all in the photos! The black felt making up her cutie mark and tiara came pre-glittered and looks pretty freaking fabulous. This pattern was very experimental. It's my first one with wings AND my first filly, and it went with absolutely no mishaps! Filly plushes have shorter, wider legs, rounder bodies, and GREAT BIG EYES. (Luna's eyes don't look quite so wide, because she's, like, a princess, and her eyes need to be almond shaped, because, just because.) Do you think that even as a filly, Princess Luna spoke in the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE?     Please respect the artist and do not use this image for any purposes (forum avatar, signature, Web graphics, banners, any personal use or commercial gain).

I was beyond psyched when my first order turned out to be Vinyl Scratch, one of my top favorite background ponies. Just look at how cool she is! I was so proud of her, I didn’t want to package her up and send her away. ; ^;

Mandatory listening while crafting this plush and viewing this page.

Anyway, I’m pretty pumped seeing my first order turn out so successfully and can’t wait to get started on the next ones. Keep ’em coming, people! 😀

August 12, 2011

There were some delays, but my princess dress is scheduled to arrive within the next week! It actually totally coincidentally just happened to coincide with my birthday! 😀

I had to hurry up and finish these projects I had lying around!

No self-respecting Lolita coordinate is finished (or started, for that matter) without the very important…

…bloomers! XD

These I was very good about not procrastinating on. I actually finished them in only a couple of days, not long after placing my dress purchase.

I LOVE how they turned out. White fabric with pink polka dots = omg perfection. Add pink chiffon ruffles and little pink bows and you’ve just taken several steps beyond perfection. The bows are actually detachable – they have brooch pins on the back – and the main reason I stuck them on there was so I could tell which side was the front! XD

I followed the pattern with virtually no changes from Simplicity 3618. Here, I’ll include a link so you can check it out for yourself. 😀

Cute costumes. XD; The bloomers are short, but I like them that way since it makes them more versatile. I’ve already worn them under some skirts I own, and they are SO comfortable. Plus, I’ve never liked just wearing skirts with nothing underneath, especially concerning the length most skirts are available in nowadays. My self consciousness virtually evaporates when I wear these, since I no longer have to worry about modesty and can just enjoy wearing a cute skirt. c:

Okay! Moving right along to the project-I-totally-procrastinated-on-for-two-months-and-only-finally-finished-yesterday!

A petticoat! Absolutely necessary for that perfect princess poof. I didn’t use a pattern for this at all, only using information I’ve garnered from dozens and dozens of petticoat tutorials I’ve read online. I definitely made some mistakes, but I know exactly what to do next time to make an even better petticoat.

This provides some substantial poof, but the next one I’ll make will have twice as much material and ruffles. 8D Just because that’s what Lolita is all about!

All right, that’s about enough of my gushing over my sewing projects. n_n I am just really proud of them, since I’ve never sewn garments before these, and I love how they turned out! AND NEXT WEEK MY DRESS AND SHOES AND SOCKS ARE GETTING HERE YOU GUYS OMG 8D 8D 8D

Update: Okay so it wasn’t exactly the next week lol but here’s Princess Training: The First Steps. c:

Yessir, I plushed my own art!! Frilly Bows is, I suppose, my “self-insert OC” in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe. (I would link to my original drawing of her but I don’t like it very much so this sentence is a placeholder until I upload the drawing that I like better.)

Hand-sewn from felt. Eyelashes, iris, and those white shiny highlights are embroidered on.

This was way fun. I just threw it all together in only a few days. Sculpting hair out of felt into those curls and swoops is, like, the most therapeutic thing. You just take your sheet of felt and freestyle with the scissors and in the end you get some fantastifabulous hair.

And I just happened to have some brown grosgrain ribbon in just the right width to actually put some real bows in her hair without just making fake-bows out of felt shapes.

IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

The main character from one of my most favoritest video games of all time, Rune Factory. He is entirely hand-sewn and his body and hair are made from felt, while his clothing is cotton fabric (among other odds and ends of materials).

I could probably never fully express how proud and happy I am with this plush.
