I decided to go with Twilight Sparkle from my little pony as a great practice plush. I saw a couple of tutorials online and went with 2 (one for the body and the other for the eyes) that helped me along the way while making small adjustments here and there.
The final result...

She is 100% Handmade and stands 14 inches tall 11 inches wide.
I didn't have a tutorial for the horn, hair and tail. Her bangs was what I was having trouble executing. I was so determined to have her look the way I pictured her in my head that I refused to give up on her until I got it just right. Believe me there were times I had to stop, take a step back and think about how I was going to make it work. Other times I took a needed break and moved on to other things in hoping when I came back to work on Twilight I would have a clearer head on what to do next with her hair.
Here is an example of what her hair looked liked in her early stages

| Bangs: too poofy. |
This picture was before I changed her bangs, horn, and the front strip that runs down her face that creates her nose. It was much wider here. I saw, via google images, some My Little Pony Felt Plushies and noticed the strip was narrower and thought it would look better with the pony I was creating.
After: Bangs, nose and horn made over

As long as this took me to make I definitely came away with having a better understanding on how to create certain shapes, looks, and more patience. Maybe in the future I'll create another pony since I know where the adjustments that I want need to be made. The next pony I choose will definitely have wings. Until then off to new projects.
A Big Thanks to SilentWolfCreation and Essorille for creating such awesome patterns and tutorials. This little pony above would not have been possible without your help.
