Getting enough bulk on the body is always a struggle for me. I'm no good at imagining pattern shapes, so Remington had to bear with me, as I wrapped him in ever more fabric. I'll soon be testing the revised pattern and make a fjord foal. 🪡🧵🧶❤️

This little sweetheart got adopted yesterday, so I forwarded the list to the new owner. It looks like his name will be Remington, Remi for short.
I'm looking forward to make more horses, and the list will come in super handy. Any suggestions what color and markings the next one should have? 🪡🧵🧶❤️
Finally done assembling the body and adding the last internal structures. The only things missing now is the stuffing and a name. Got any suggestions?🪡🧵🧶❤️

23.5.2025 18:23Markings sewn and the body partially assembled. Time to add the hooves. 🪡🧵❤️🧶Sewing has been on hold since my last post. I've been waiting for a parcel with colorful cardboard paper and new markers to arrive. In the meantime I've busied myself with planning out the markings for the test horse, and adding them to my cricut file. The pattern now contains over 120 pieces, and having them cut out all in white paper is rather confusing. The colorful paper allows me to color code the pattern, making it much easier to organize. I'm looking forward to try out the new pens. it. 🐴

18.5.2025 19:56Started on the hooves and got the appliques done. 🪡🧵🧶❤️The amount of pieces that go into my equine plushies BEFORE any markings have been added, is pretty mind blowing. I've spent the past few days, creating this cutting file for my Cricut. With it complete, I don't need to print out and cut the paper pattern manually. I can have the machine do it for me! Watching it do its magic is such a satisfying feeling. Too bad it can't cut out the actual pieces for the plushie itself. 🪡🧵🧶🐴

Perfect for a horse! 🪡🧵🧶❤️🐴

13.5.2025 13:23Looking good so far. Now to figure out the ear design.🪡🧶❤️🐴I've been pondering what project to embark on after the pig and the rainbow calves. Motivation is somewhat elusive these days. I decided to try my luck with a horse. I'm using the donkey pattern as a base and have tried to elongate the head a bit. Fingers crossed thst the alterations to the head pattern turn out well. 🪡🧵❤️🐴

I was originally planning on using rabbit style fur for the whole body, but then I chickened out and did the face with minky instead. Maybe on a larger version still...? 🤔 🪡🧵🐷

I haven't added them to my store yet, but both are up for grabs. 🪡🧵❤️

The randomnes of the tie-dye furs means that these calves are one of a kind, so no remake will look like the other. What do you think? Firm? Semi-posable? Find buyers first and let them decide?

Getting him dry took a while, but the rabbit style fur is actually very forgiving and doesn't mind me using a hair dryer on the lowest heat setting, so that's nice to know. The bath removed all traces of the golden pen, so there should be no risk of further smearing. I think that I'll give the pink calf another bath too, just to be sure that it's all clean and looking its very best. 🥳

Most of the time I've spent toiling away in the garden of hell, or playing games. I haven't felt much like plushing, nor photographing the progress, slow as it has been. The golden marker I used on the dark fabric has been smearing a lot, especially during the assembly of the heads, resulting in the muzzles and other light areas getting discolored. I've cleaned most of it off of the pink calf. The green one is still waiting to have his bath... 🪡🧵🧶🛁🧼

We've had unusually sunny and dry weather this early in the year, so I've been spending most of my time outdoors, doing garden chores. I'm far from done, with everything that needs tendig to, but we finally got some rain yesterday, so I worked a bit on one of the calves instead. I still find myself struggling, getting into the right mood for sewing in ernest. But I'm sure it will come. 🪡🧵🧶🐮

I've been busy the past two days and didn't have time to sew. The weather forcast says there will be a couple of sunny days, so I need to double down on work outside in the garden. Today I planted flowers on kitty's grave and after that I've been collecting mown grass. It's gotten chilly outside, so I plan to spend the rest of the day sewing. ❤️⚘️🌼🪡🧶
