Rarity, the talking plush pony

And here she is, the pony everypony should know... Rarity!

Being my favorite pony, it was only a matter of time until I got around to making a plushie of everyone's favorite behooved lady. And if I dare say so myself, I really stepped up my game too. I learned to machine applique directly onto the plushie parts and I redrew the pattern I used for Albert yet again.

The body is as always made from a fleece-type fabric that's pretty firm and keeps a shape easily. The hair is a velvet-ish fabric that shines when hit by the light, something I figure Rarity would approve of. To keep its shape I've sewn some lining fabric into it along with a thick plastic coated steel wire. The cutie mark and eyes are directly machine appliqued onto the fabric and also have a shine to them. The eyes are based on a design by the very talented ~datNaro, which you'll find here!

And of course, she talks. And sings. I decided to learn some basic soldering too, so rather than put the buttons in the ears and keep the chip in the head, the buttons are in her front hooves and on two of the cutie mark diamonds. Also, the chip is directly accessible through a zipper on her stomach where it rests in a little envelope. Easy-peasy to switch batteries or change the sounds, in other words!

She says four phrases:
* Look upon me equestria, for I - AM - RARITY!
* Of all the things that could happen... This is THE - WORST - POSSIBLE THING!
* I would appreciate it if you'd stop calling me "pony". *I* am a *LADY*, and I prefer to be addressed as such. You may call me "Miss" or "Rarity" or "Miss Rarity".
* Sings the entire "Becoming Popular" song

And that's about all I have to say about her. I'm really pleased with how she turned out, and I definitely intend to make more

Thanks for looking!
