#sewing pattern

(update 2, added instructions & it's also on my Kofi!)

Hey y’all! I finished the pattern for these little guys and you can find it on my etsy now. I put a lot of work into making it detailed with clear pictures, so it should be super easy to follow! If anyone tries it, I’d love to see what you make. And if you have any feedback on the pattern, that is much appreciated too. Link in reblog & comments :)

I have three sewing patterns up in the shop now!!

my original little toads, a small version of my slugs and an updated version of the Stag pattern!

seam allowance included already in this pattern. i used 1/4th of an inch seam allowance

alright so recently i was extremely inspired by myarmcanfly here on tumblr with their amazing needle felted horses so i wanted to make a little horse plushie of my own

free to use as you like on the condition that if someone asks you for the pattern you give it freely

here's some images of my finished plushie. i named her applecrisp since she is very apple colored.

image ids, various photos of a red green and tan horse plushie with a white braided mane and tail made out of yarn in various angles

i would rate this doable for a beginner if you have the willingness to learn as you go. some of the seams can be rather tricky but are doable if you go slow and use pins or clips to align everything correctly

the 4 ear panels are because 2 are sewn together and then turned so you get a nice clean seam there. but it does make them a bit bulky so be careful when you sew those please

i also highly recommend a thicker fabric. i used upholstery fabric i got from a thrift store. it is cotton and thick but loosely woven so i could easily get the needle through the fabric. the fabric i used does not have stretch to it.

print at any size you like. applecrisp is 6 inches or so long and 4 inches tall by 3inches ish wide

So a while back, McCall's put out this pretty decent commercial pattern for making lolita fashion. I've now made almost all views of the pattern (View D is a rectangle so I have not made that as I am already very well experienced in the realm of rectangles). View A (jumperskirt) is very good and view C (blouse) is also very good. YMMV on the skirt; I didn't like it.

Sadly, like all of the Cosplay by McCall's patterns, this one is out of print, and people are asking for like $90 for this pattern on the secondhand market. So, until someone scans all the pattern pieces and the instructions and zips them into a folder and sticks it on a google drive, this pattern will sadly be inaccessible to most people.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that unless you're ok with these guys tipping over you should put something in the bottom to weight them (beans, plastic pellets, ECT.)
