Description It's a little hard to see from here, but she's got bangs and longer straight hair behind that (ignore the pins in her hair, I just wasn't up to that much hand sewing right now).

This pony and her accessories (hair/etc) are made using a beanie pony pattern that's going to be for sale in my etsy shop starting this evening.


Edit: The pattern is available now!

I'm considering buying a combo of 3 patterns, the mare, filly/colt and this one, any chance you could divulge into size in inches? So i can get an idea of how much fabric i need to order? I wanna make my mares about 20 inches, and the fillies to scale of that, with the beanie, as big as I can. A height without mane and length of the pony would be awesome, thank you

Great patterns by the way!

Hey, sorry I never got back to you, I've been horrid about replying to comments this year. 

The mare is about 9.5 inches tall, the filly/colt is around 6 inches, and the beanie comes in around 6 inches tall and 10 inches long. I usually recommend that people scale them up to 150 or 200% so you can use a proportional seam allowance (3/8 inch at 150% scale or 1/2 inch at 200% scale) instead of having to redraw all the seam allowance (it's tedious).

Since you want your mares to be around 20 inches you'll probably want to go with 200% scaling. You can obviously go larger on the beanie if you want, but you'll need to use a larger seam allowance accordingly. 

Keep in mind that the amount of fabric scales up by the square of the height of the plushie, so if the pattern says it takes 1/4 yard and you scale it to 200% you'll need four times as much fabric (1 yard). The amount of stuffing scales up by the cube, so at 200% you'll need 8 times as much stuffing.

Don't worry about it! I found the proportions soon after I posted that. Also, I got your pattern, and I'm almost done with sewing the body, about 7 weeks later. I'm making a scoots, and I'll show you the fail one I'm done!

(I'm making her at 125%)

Thanks!! It's supposed to be the Evil Cynder but she could only put 6 horns on since her head is not big enough

Hey, love your work! I saw your listing on Etsy and was wondering if there were any special printing needs when I buy your digital copy of the pattern. Does the pattern come ready to print on normal paper? Do I need a special program? Thx!

I think I answered this via note, but just in case someone else comes along looking for an answer... All the patterns print on regular US Letter (8.5 x 11 inch) paper.
