Description

....I wonder how many people are going to mis-read "Satin."   NMM herself is done, now I'm down to her accessories. I spent all day yesterday figuring out how to feather & wire her wings; they are a completely unique shape from the other flying ponies. I'm still not sure how I'm going to make her helmet. She might spend Nightmare Night with only one shoe...satin is not very much to work with, even though I got a stretch version.   She's made from Minky with real feathers, her mane and tail are wired organza, and her eyes & cutie mark are machine embroidered.

My apologies for the file size...our new camera takes great pictures, but they're so HUGE.

 

NMM belongs to Hasbro & Ms. Faust; Satin belongs to Hades. Patterns & embroidery are my own work, please don't ask for them.

Thank you! I'm redoing her armor in minky, since the satin is just too much of a problem as shoes (snags too easily). Shoes are done, just need to do the hard parts (chestguard and helmet).

Beautiful, how much would one of these cost? and do you do trades by chance?

Noted you on plushie costs, and as for trades, I do not currently take them (no time). I hope to in the future, though. Lots of great artists in the fandom & artist community

Thank you very much! She's actually the fourth plushie I've done with open wings, if I remember right. I did a Celestia, a Luna, and a Cadance. They're in my gallery if you're curious. Real feathers are so beautiful, but they cut down on the cuddle factor a little bit. I don't mind at all, though; I prefer my pony plushies for show/gentle cuddles.

Thanks! Can't wait to get her helmet done, the rest of her gear turned out rather well. I'm crossing my fingers she's done before Nightmare Night...just think of all the free candy I'll get!

might help if you hand-sew the shoes

I might break down and do it...this stuff is horrible for small details!

xD really, hand sewing to me is easier, you can do what you want if you put your mind to it when handsewing-Control and good sewing in one! (if you know what i mean.... x3)

I finally figured out how to tame the shoes with my machine, although they still aren't exactly what I was imagining. If my hand-stitching was strong enough to ensure they'd stay together after a while, I would have probably gone that route. 2 hrs to make 4 shoes is ridiculous. If only I could find a baby blue metallic spandex!

If only getting perfect fabric worked like that...hehe. I'd have a shrine to Minky.

That's what I've heard about satin. Not fun stuff.  The wings are definitely looking awesome though.

I was really hoping that ordering a stretchy version of satin would help...it didn't.   Then, I realized I sewed two of her shoes backwards, so I have to scrap them and start over. Grrrrr!

Glad that you like the wings, I think they're pretty snazzy, myself.
