My own pattern, made of Wool/Rayon blend felt (MUCH softer than acrylic and less icky feeling), hair is softened acrylic yarn (baby yarn soft) that's been heat cured into its curls.   Flowers are each individually crafted as they are stitched into her hide, then stitched and glued together at the base of the petals to make extra sure that they can't be accidentally pulled out of shape .  They're made of polyester satin ribbon which insures that their color will be long lasting and colorfast.  Her eye embroidery was machine done by my own design as is the emblem of my logo on her hoof.   Her vine embroidery stitching was done after stuffing by hand, so that the swirls are even flowing.   The mane was individually strand by strand stitched this time with a huge amount of hair towards the top of her head to give her fullness towards the top for styling.  Last but not least, glass beads with their golden coating have been strung in two strands that freely swing, but are securely stitched to her hide.
