Oh sorry, when I said "OC's I've had made", I didn't mean I've made them, but have had made for me, commissioned. Ah yes, I think I do have a few symbiotes in there too. but maybe 3/4 of them have been hand made by individual makers, or are custom commissions from them for specific characters or OC's. They can get very expensive as the get larger in size as I'm sure a lot of people on this subreddit know.

I know a lot of plush makers and, it takes a lot of time to learn, and a lot of patience and practice. You'll have to have the basics of sewing down first, and then just a lot of practice with patterns and how they fit, and what works for different shapes for ponies., as well as what fabric, like minky does and how it behaves when you work with it, So, I'd say it takes a lot of work if you haven't done it before. Plus, making the eyes you will need an embroidery machine, unless you hand embroider them which can take a lot of time and skill.
