Applejack 3 by eebharasWatch
©2012-2016 eebharas
More pattern changes! I think I've finally finished making edits to my pattern. Well, major edits at least. Applejack's legs are longer and better shaped than they were previously, and I also changed my pattern for AJ's bangs and her tail for this Applejack. I consider all of these things an improvement.
Applejack's made out of minky, her hat's made out of faux leather, and her little ponytail holders are made out of transparent satin ribbon. Applejack is not for sale.

Are you still making plushies?
I badly need an applejack plush for a gift.

I am still making plushies, and commissions open up again on friday, send me a note with your zip code or country for pricing.
How big is she?
I don't remember exactly anymore. Something like 16 or 17 inches. My pattern has changed a lot since then.
Cute Applejack
I'm actually making an AJ plush myself right now, and I could really use any advise you could give me in regards to the hat if you don't mind my asking.
Honestly, my advice would be to buy one. They're not constructed very differently than the way they look, but they're very difficult to sew (that material isn't very forgiving, and in order to make them work, there's very little seam allowance)and the fabric options to make them realistic is pretty limited without using real leather, which seems awkward considering her character is supposed to be a horse. All that said, best tips I have for making the hat is to use a very strong sturdy interfacing (the one I have is sturdier than cardboard, but is technically fabric and can be bought by the yard with the rest of the interfacing) and an iron to force the curve into it. Also, fabric glue or stitch witchery to hold the curve in place. Faux leather is difficult to sew, but I've heard that felt is easier, and can still look realistic as felt cowboy hats do exist. Also rare earth magnets are great for holding the hat on. use fabri-tac to glue one on the inside of the brim, and sew one into the inside of her mane, and then the hat and pony will just click together and stay that way without any unnecessary cords or safety pins.
What color minky did you use for her hair?
Are you still makin' thses? I would like one! If so, how much? I can't go any higher than $150.00 tho cause I don't have that kind of money and I would really want a realistic Applejack for Christmas
Wow this is one of the best plushies i've seen, would you think of posting the template? I know some people are reluctant too but this looks just amazing!
I'm so glad you like her, but I've worked really really insanely hard on this pattern and I really don't want to just give that away. Also, even if I did, I'm not sure it would be very helpful since I doubt anyone but me would be able to figure out what I mean by all the markings on it.
Blue ribbon material.
wow do you do remakes for people! ^^ id love one!
gonna try to make one myself. I have no idea what I'm doing.
1) That's awesome! It's always great to try new hobbies, and it's possible I'm biased since I've always been a crafter, but crafting is a great one to try!
2) If there's anything you need help with, send me a note! I'd be happy to help with just about anything!

Goodness gracious! If I had a bunch of money and you were selling this awesome creation, all of my monies would be yours.
I love her! And the eyes are awesome!
Sp pretty! I really love how you did her eyes too, the different shades of green is a nice touch!
Oh and the yellow too if you don't mind.
What site did you get the orange minky for applejack from? I need some for one I'm making for my mom for her birthday, but can't find the right orange.
I think I got it from fabricdepot.com but I can't quite remember. It's called mango, or on some sites, "saffron yellow" and the yellow is just regular yellow from just about any minky site, although I'm pretty sure I got it from fabric.com. Hope that helps!
I found mango and yellow on that fabric depot.com. 30 bucks after shipping for just a yard and a 1/2 of fabric! No wonder these plushies go for so much when the fabric alone is this expensive. But my mom's worth it. Thanks again!
Yeah, it isn't cheap. I really wish it was though! That's why I have to keep track of which sites are good for what, and it's most cost-effective to order a lot of minky at once. I hope your mom likes her present!
thanks alot!
so soft
She really is!
awwwwwwwww so kee-yoot!!!

SEATTLE — Now that voters have spoken about charter schools, will the new, independent public schools be an option at the beginning of the next academic year?
It seems unlikely.
Voters narrowly approved Initiative 1240 this month, but opening charter schools by 2013 would require many things to happen quickly — and there's a strong possibility that the state's top education officer will sue to block them.
First, the state Board of Education has to figure out the next steps. The board has until March 6 to adopt rules to govern most aspects of charter schools in Washington. Board spokesman Aaron Wyatt said that schedule will be tough to meet, let alone beat.
Next, the Washington Charter School Commission, an independent state agency, will be formed to authorize and supervise the new entities.
The commission will have nine members — three appointed by the
governor, three by the president of the Senate and three by the speaker of the House. They will have a staff an a budget of about $3 million a year.
People who want to open a charter school will need to wait for the commission to get running before they can apply. It's not known how long the application process will take — since the rules have not been written — but in New York state, for example, it takes about four months from the initial filing to final approval.
The new law would open as many as 40 charter schools over five years.
Under the initiative, any nonprofit organization could start a charter school here if their plan is approved by either commission or a local school board with authority from the state school board.
Chris Korsmo, executive director of the League of Education Voters, who worked on the Yes on 1240 campaign and whose group advocates for school reform, called the idea of opening the first charter school by fall 2013 a tall order and probably missing the point of the initiative. She said the goal is to ensure the new schools are of the highest quality and offer a great education to low-income and minority kids.
The league has heard from parents, teachers and school leaders who are interested in being involved in the new schools, as well as from charter school operators in other states, she said.
Robin Lake, director of the University of Washington's Center on Reinventing Public Education and a national expert on charter school research, said the key to success for charters in Washington is the 20 years of experience to draw on from the 41 states that already allow the independent schools.
The schools are most likely to succeed if the authorizers focus on good performance management, Lake said.
The commission and any school boards that are allowed to authorize charters must make sure the schools they approve have more than just a good idea. They need to have the ability to create great education programs, plan effectively, manage budgets, roll out well and meet goals, she said. "It takes commitment and on-the-ground work," she said.
Finding a balance between regulations and freedom for creativity helped lead charters to success in Denver, New York City and New Orleans, she said, blaming failures such as Arizona's on weak oversight and accountability.
The long-term goal is improving education for all kids and that can happen if the people who run traditional and charter public schools learn from each other, she said. "This is about more good schools. It's not about charter schools."
One significant hurdle is Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, who says he may sue to stop the initiative from establishing a parallel department of education.
Initiative 1240 was unconstitutional because it would set up a separate school system with an unelected board, he said.
"It is clearly circumventing the constitution," he said; the state constitution establishes an elected superintendent of public instruction to oversee all public schools.
He has talked to the attorney general's office and state lawmakers and hopes the Legislature will find a way to fix the new law, he said, but is willing to bring a constitutional challenge all the way to the Washington Supreme Court, if necessary.

Blog One: Stephin Merritt
In August, I called up Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, Future Bible Heroes and Gothic Archies. He seemed a natural for this idea I had: to document the songwriting process. We gave him two days in a studio filled with drums, guitars, a Moog synthesizer, a sitar, samplers, a grand piano and more.
We wanted to make his stay here comfy, so I asked him, "What do you like to sit on when writing a song?" I figured he'd say a couch or a nice chair with a table lamp or some such, but he said, "A barstool."
I figured that was easy. A day later, it occurred to me that he meant he likes to write his music while sitting in a bar — it wasn't the damn stool!
So we scrambled to get a bar — he wasn't a prima donna, mind you, but I wanted to make him feel at ease. Our photo editor Coburn knew someone with a bar and some stools, so our studio engineer Chris and I, along with my son, hopped in a white van, went for a ride and carted the bar back to NPR and into what we call Studio 4A.
When Stephin Merritt arrived, he liked what he saw, including the green tea and the 1974 Scotch.
Below is the video that documents Stephin writing and recording the song. It's called The Man of a Million Faces and was filmed by John Poole, the videographer for NPR.
Welcome to Project Song, and also to our blog.
Look out for Old Music Tuesdays and other fun.

Can I download the song?
Very cool.
Absolutely fascinating to watch how the whole thing materialized! And what a great song...I echo the guy's comment above ??? can I download it?
THANKS and congratulations on this new section of the site.
it was interesting to watch this whole process. stephin sounds like he might be an angry drunk. thank you, npr!
I'm working on an answer to the downloading issue but it will have to wait till morning
A great choice for the first one. Merritt is one of my songwriting idols. It's wonderful to watch him work, very inspirational. And I, too, would love a copy of the song.
I'm so excited! I had no idea All Songs was planning a new site like this. I've listened to All Songs Considered for several years now, and these changes take the show to a whole new level!
I love this particular new feature too. Are you planning to have just singer-songwriters, or will there be full bands working on a song together?
Heard the segment on the radio yesterday, and seeing this video is a wonderful accompaniment to the segment.
Thank you so much for this series. As a songwriter, myself, it is always enlightening to see and hear how others work, especially people that I admire as much as Stephen Merritt.
I knew there was a reason that I became a member!
What a fantastic addition to the All Songs site. Each time you grow you just seem to get better and better.
I loved the Stephen Merritt segment, and I hope this is an ongoing series that might result in a compilation CD of some kind.
It was a real thrill to find the Project Song video in my podcast library, and I loved watching Merritt do his thing. Of course, there's more than a little of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle at work here, but so what! There are myriad ways to stoke creativity, and it's fascinating to watch this Project Song petrie dish. I look forward to more!
Too, it'd be amazing to offer this kind of experience to some of the Second Stage artists you feature.
I really think that as record labels go the way of the dodo, it will be sites like yours with your editorial / curitorial acumen that will be the primary way new artists to reach wider and wider audiences, rather than through a big marketing push engineered by a label.
Keep up the good
Bob here...
a few things...our agreement is that the song be part of whatever we do, a video, a radio piece etc, but that the song by itself is not downloadable.
Stephin was very gracious with his time and i completely respect what we agreed to.
So if you want to hear the song again you can do that by watching the video. There is a song only version. without the "making of part" you can get it here, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15859351
It's on the left side of the page about a third the way down.
We will do more of these, one a month would probably be the most we can do, but this is a thrill and I can't wait to tackle others.
our next one is with a great new band called Georgie James. We already did the session.
I'd say early December on that.
others are in the works...
who would you like to see?
I would love to see Firewater, or more specifically, Todd A.
Todd A. would be super-cool now that he's back in-country, and I'd love to see They Might Be Giants as well. Is this filmed in NYC, or here in DC?
How about including Rufus Wainwright in a future? He's a fantastic young artist (very much enjoyed his recent stop in Boston at Avalon), and I bet it would be interesting to have him walk through his -- I'm sure unique -- creative process.
Really love the new site. I anticipate spending a lot of time discovering new things here.
What about featuring an unknown songwriter writing and recording a song...like me?
Rufus is a wonderful idea. The shows are done in Washington. It is interesting and you will see this when the next one is done, it is intersting to see the difference when it is a solo artist vs. a collaboration.
our next band is Georgie James which is 2 people, John Davis and Laura Burhen. That back and forth was pretty fascinating.
That will air or web or what ever we call this sometime around the top of December.
in response to the Mike, the unknown songwriter wishing to be featured on Project Song, I have this response.
For many Stephin Merritt was/is an unknown. Our next act is also fairly unknown, they are a local Washington DC band, though they recently signed a contract with a small independent record label called Saddle Creek.
We have dedicated a show to unknown artists. Until this week it was called Open Mic, we now call it Second Stage. There are submission guidelines on the Second Stage website.
As for whether I'd choose you or not, I guess I would first start by hearing your music.
All the best
This and Monitor Mix just made RSS reading roughly a billion times more awesome.
I think Travis Morrison (from The Dismemberment Plan) would make a fine, DC-based "Project Song" participant...
I would love to see a full band's collaboration in this setting...someone with a repuation for group composition like the hiphop collective The Roots, who are known for jamming for hours in the studio until they come up with ideas for a particular song to flesh out. Similarly, what about a jazz artist or group who certainly compose and write differently than a singer\songwriter might. Finding some diversity not just in genre, but approaches and group dynamics would be really interesting to see in action.
great feature... Stephin set the bar fairly high. Thanks!
future segments: what a trip if you could get Bjork - I imagine she has a unique song writing approach. Neko Case. Joanna Newsom. Connor Oberst. AC Newman. Would it be ridiculous to try and get Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen or Elvis Costello?
I loved listening to this in the car on the way home and again via the podcast, but the piece took on a entirely other dimension today while I was at the office.
I work for an architecture firm and we have a lunchtime Design Forum once a month. Today's topic was 'who is your favorite architect and why?' (trying to elicit a good group discussion). At the end, after everyone had posted some images and talked about them, once of the architects set his laptop on the lunch table and played the Stephin Merritt Project Song video. All the architects got really excited, because the process Merritt went through with you guys is so akin to the creative process behind good architectural design.
As a non-architect, I never would have made the connection myself, but it was a wonderful way of seeing what is (perhaps) universal in the creative process, and it ended up being the best Design Forum we've had. Thanks!
This was interesting. I've always wanted to see something along these lines because as someone who likes to write music its fun to compare the writing process. We get a chance to watch a painter paint from start to finish but rarely hear a song take shape.
I think that what this video shows is that songwriting is a very intimate process. I think Stephen is correct in saying that those who are writing in the studio are crazy. I think that once you place a songwriter in a studio with so much distraction or other band members you get a weaker output from the songwriter. Just as no symphony was every written by committee no great record was every written in the studio alone. I think the too many bands fall victim to this. They have a hit, get signed, and then fill in the rest of the record with studio written songs that are unfocused or bland and are the result of committee songwriting.
Also interesting was the ending discussion about coming back to a song. I'm curious what he would change a week later or even a month. I think that the Hawthorne Effect was at play here too. Observation changes the outcome. Did we really see his songwriting process or something different that was unique to the situation.
Looking forward to more, well done!
Something's magical for me about Merritt's one-chord song. As a home recording bloke I can appreciate the steps vividly.
Blogged the new site at http://shreveport.blogspot.com.
Bob Boilen here,
When I first thought of this idea I wondered about that whole observation aspect. As a musician and as the observer of the 20 or so hours, my take, is much like the architects take.
A good artist takes what she/he has and runs with it, Much of art is about limitations and finding creative ways to work in a given structure or system.
Some of the best work comes out of restrictions, whether it is time, money, materials, legal issues or mere physics in the case of the architect.
Did we change the way Merritt works?
Of course. But the artist in Stephin, the creative part that makes Stephin Merritt the songwriter that he is, prevailed. And you got to see him flower with all the limitations of time and having a camera in his face, and having me asking him questions every few hours. He still wound up with a darn good song. I wonder if he will revisit it.
The Magnetic Fields have a new album in January.
Sure we did.
I really enjoyed this episode! I listen via my iPod on my train ride to work and this kept me riveted. A great idea and I am eager to hear the next one. Also glad that you separated the concerts as I prefer to listen to those at home rather than on my commute.
I'd love to see David Bazan and Jon Brion invited to participate.
OK, so we can't download the song from you -- do you know if Stephin will be offering it? I can't get the darn thing out of my head, and that's the only cure I can think of.
The Magnetic Fields have a new cd coming out in January. It wouldn't surprise me to see something happen with this song at the time of that CDs release.
Love the new website and the studio idea! I've been listening to this show for quite a while, but I never took the time to provide some feedback on how cool it is. So, here it is. Hope to see many more musicians working on these 2-day songs!
Greetings all the way from Denmark!!!
This is absolutely brilliant! Love the idea, love the song, love NPR ... the only thing that's sad is, that it reminds me about how cool public radio should be and how it used to be in Denmark before everything turned into genderless r'n'b-shit and silly radiohosts all day long.
Keep up the good work NPR - you're the best!
I would nominate Matthew Ebel and any of the songs off his new album, Goodbye planet Earth- Especially "Join the Conversation" to be considered. www.matthewebel.com
more please
I absolutely loved and enjoyed this piece, it was brilliant to watch someone as creative as Merritt working. And I do love the moody melancholy story he came up with in the song. I'm late to understanding the breadth of his work with Magnetic Fields alone, so this was a very nice treat after a weekend listening to "Distortion".
Great concept, hugely enjoyable- the very best of public radio! Thank you.
thanks Southamptoner!

There are plenty of traditional, nontraditional, and interdisciplinary fields of engineering that might just match up with your interests, whether they involve design, architecture, law, business, geography, psychology, or education. As an acoustical engineer, you might develop a state-of-the-art sound studio, or as a sports engineer you might create equipment that tests the performance of athletes. You might also work in "human factors engineering," a fascinating field that takes human behavior and psychology into account in developing products and systems.
The average annual salary for engineers in special and interdisciplinary fields varies significantly depending on the specialty, but for entry-level engineers it ranges around $53,000 to $61,645.*
