VooDoo-TIKI'S BEGINNER PONY PATTERN TUTORIAL Print or trace the pattern onto cardstock. Lay the pieces on the back (wrong) side of the fabric and trace around them, making little marks where the arrows indicate. This will help you align the pieces. Where the pattern says 2, 1R you cut two pieces, one mirror imaged. Cut the pieces out about 1/4 of an inch outside the drawn line. The space between the drawn lines and where you cut is the "seam allowance Don't cut the center piece out of the belly yet. This tutorial shows me making an Earth pony mare. If you're making a unicorn, cut the pattern out along the dotted lines. If you're making a stallion, cut the muzzle area out along the dashed line. MARE UNICORN The pieces are sewn RST, right sides together. The "right" side of the fabric is the outer side. To tack pieces together, push the needle through and back again at the same spot, tie a knot, and trim the thread. Do this where the You can pin the pieces together if you prefer. This is how the head pieces fit together. Tack where the red Xs indicate A1, A2, A3, A4 and AS. Don't tack A6 yet. Sew from A1 to AS using a backstitch. Next, you will need to fold the back of the head plece over so that A6 on the back of the head touches A6 on the body piece. A5 Sew from AS to A6 AB Repeat for the other side of the body. Fold the belly piece in half. B2 and B3 should be Sew along the lines of the center piece from Carefully cut out the center piece, taking care not to cut your seam this belly piece will look slighty different from yours, as the pattem has been updated sinceItook the tutonial photos Pin or tack the two body pieces right sides together where the red lines indicate First sew the face together starting at C3. Sew through C2 and C1, around the horn if you're making a unicorn, through A1 to A7. Then sew the spine area together from A6 through D1 Leave the area between A7 and A6 open. This is the opening you'll turn the pony right side out through. Right sides together, tack the belly piece to the body pieces. Start by tacking the hoof corners, then the other places indicated by arrows. The neck and rump pieces will bend up match the Els and D2 on the belly with the Els and D2 on the body pieces. Sew starting anywhere (I usually go from one side of the chest, up the neck and then on). If you run out of thread, knot it as if finishing a seam and start a new thread. When finished, make small, vertical cuts in the seam allowance at the corners. This is called clipping the seam, and will allow you to turn the pony more easily. first To help turn the plush, I use a hemostat, or locking forceps. These let me reach down into narrow areas where my fingers don't fit. You can use the eraser end of a pencil or the blunt-tipped handle of a wooden spoon to help turn, too. Puling the hind legs right side out through the opening at the back of the head When you close them, this grabs and locks Turn the back legs inside out first, then the head, then the front legs. The ends are blunt and Take a stitch through the ear at the base of the head. This will keep stuffing from going up into the ear Stuff your plushie with coarse or low-loft polyester fiberfill. You can also add plastic "beanie" pellets to the legs to give it weight and make it stand solidly. Pack the head and legs very firmly, tamping the fiberfill down with the eraser end of a pencil or the blunt handle of a wooden spoon. Pack the body a bit more lightly so it is soft and huggable. Close the back of the head from A6 to A7 with a ladder stitch. u A curved needle can be helpful. It is OK if this seam is a little messy unless you're making a bald pony, it will be covered by the mane. If you're making a pegasus, you'll need four wing pieces, two mirrored. Take two pieces, one flipped, and tack them right sides together. Sew all along the drawn line. Where the X is marked, make a small slit in the material and turn the wing through it. Repeat for the other wing, making sure you cut the slit on the other side so you have a left and right wing. Lightly stuff the wing. To define the feathers, anchor a thread on the inner side of the wing and take a long stitch where the dotted lined indicate. Pin the wings to the body, slit side in, matching the slit to the X on the body piece. Attach to the body using a ladder stitch. unstuffed SOME TIPS ON FINISHING YOUR PONY Because there is so much variety in the shapes of pony manes and tails, its impossible for me to provide a pattern for everyone. In general, you can easily make a mane or tail by tracing the shape of it onto fabric and putting it together much like the body pattern. Stuff it lightly and attach to the body with a ladder stitch. You can also make manes & talls from scraps of long pille faux fur, yam, loops of embroidery thread, ribbons, or cut pieces of felt. Eyes and cuties marks can be painted on with acrylics, embroidered by hand or machine, glued or stitched on pieces of felt, or iron-on appliques. Eyes can also be made from buttons or snap-tight plastic safety eyes. Be creative, and have fun! Three mini-sized ponies made with this patten. The bodies are ficece, the outie marks are painted, the eyes are printed on photo paper, the grin is embroidered, and the manes and tails are long pile faux fur TUTORIAL TEXT AND PHOTOS (C) VOODOO-TEKI.DEVEANTART.COM 2012
