Also went ahead and sewed Coco Pommel and a skunk pony. These two have belly magnets so they can be worn on the shoulder. Coco's Pommel's tie is removable as well.

They have scent sachets inside too! Coco smells like lavender and vanilla, while the skunk pony smells like juniper and elderberries

I'm down for rehoming them, so if you see them at Mare Fair and you want to adopt Coco...or a skunk pony, you'll have to find me!

Doing some napkin math, one ~8" beanie filly with machine embroidery costs about $27.50 to $51.50 to make. Realistically it's much cheaper, but I cannot make a good estimate on how much thread is needed so I'm including the whole spool.

Here's a list of materials I used with current prices so you can see where I'm coming from:

>Fabric
Green Minky: $14/yard (only need 1/4, so $3.50)
Black Minky: $14/yard (only need 1/4, so $3.50)

>Notions
Embroidery Thread: $2-5 per 250yd spool (need bobbin thread, black, white, three greens, so $12-30)
General Purpose Thread: $2-5 per 500yd spool (ideally need black and green, so $4-10)
Water-Soluble Stabilizer: $13 per 7" x 9 yd roll (need about 24 inches with a 4x4 hoop; so about $1)
Cut-away Stabilizer: $13.50 per 8'' x 11 yd roll (need about 24 inches, so about $1)
Stuffing: $15 for a 32 ounce bag (around 4 oz, about $2)
Beads: $7 for a 1 lb bag (need 30g, about $0.50)

As a whole, you're looking at around $116.50 to get all these materials, but you can bring this down cheaper if you source your materials locally and buy only as much fabric as you need. The loaves are ~4" long excluding the tail, so the loaves require fewer materials and can be made much cheaper.

I would definitely recommend making a beanie if you want to practice hand stitching! You'll have to use plenty of backstitches and hidden stitches to make one, wew.
