Rainbow Dash plushie by meeee!!!! (trying to capture the purple and darker blue colour in her hair!)
My 8th plushie is RD! I’m so happy because I’ve finally finished making the mane 6 at least once! I left RD until the end because I thought she’d be difficult to make, but surprisingly, she was pretty straightforward and I had a lot of fun making her! (except I have to say, I don’t enjoy sewing wings :< I don’t know why, I just dread wings, I’m also no longer a big fan of opened wings – they block the nice curves of the pony body :<).
I have to admit… I’ve never been a huge RD fan at all, but after making her, I’m really in love with her colours and design :3 I’m totally going to make myself a RD once I’ve finished my AJ V2.0
Her forelock has a side-swept look from the front (more obvious in real life :3). There are several minky colour options for RD, and in the end, I decided to go with these colours as I feel they achieve the best balance when it comes to show accuracy and RD’s vivacity. My ancient smartphone camera has trouble capturing the purple colour – it is actually a very pretty royal purple in real life, promise!Β Oh, and the blue in her hair is a shade darker than her body in RL :p
Details:
*Materials: cuddle 3 minky by Shannon Fabrics
*Minky colours: turquoise, cherry, yellow, orange, jade, azure, purple
*Stuffing: premium polyester fiberfill, craft foam, and poly pellets in hooves
*Thread: gutermann polyester sew-all thread, threadelight rayon embroidery thread
*Eyes/Cutie marks: machine embroidered
*Size: Approx 17″ tall, 15″ long
*She has my signature embroidered into the bottom of her front right hoof
RD is up for sale on Ebay:

My next project is an AJ for myself :3 (and I’m updating the forelock pattern). Hopefully she won’t take too long! Because there are sooooo many ponies I desperately want to make!!!!!!!! (ahhhh! I wish I could sew ALL DAY >.<)
Now that I’ve finished making the mane 6, I’m opening my first round of commissions. For more info, please read here:
