Description

The patches from Big Mac and Fluttershy’s matching sweaters from my Labor Day picture by themselves with all the detail I put into them more visible and appearant.  

 
At the risk of sounding too prideful over something so simple, I’m really pleased with how these turned out. I think when I came up with the idea for my Labor Day picture I was just going to have hearts on the sweaters, then I decided to use their cutie marks but not the whole things just the basic shape of a green apple and a butterfly. For some reason the gears in my head started turning and I concluded that if Fluttershy had these custom made then they would have gone the whole nine yards and put the two’s full cutie marks on the sweaters. At that point I had the idea of putting the visible stictching around the hearts for extra detail, but then decided that it would make sense to have stitching around most of the major elements. Then I had the bright idea to replace the seeds on Big Mac’s cutie mark with buttons instead of just having more sewn on patches. Then I realized it would work much better if used toggle buttons instead, which I found out that’s what those are called while looking up reference images of different sewing buttons. The only regret I have is that Fluttershy’s cutie mark is lacking as much detail. I thought about replacing the bodies of the butterfly’s with something decorative, but I drew a blank and my attempt at adding sequins to the wings just looked weird.
 
Now if you’ll excuse me, all this sewing related stuff has compelled me to go and create FlutterMac’s Woolie World. I’m joking of course or am I?
