Reversible Philomena Phoenix Plush

Philomena was a great character (even if she did make Fluttershy cry); I hope that we see more of her in the future! I decided to make her with an extra feature: she can be turned into a pile of "ashes," thus enabling her to be "reborn." It was a pain trying to figure out how to do the inner liner so as to accomplish that, but I think she turned out great!

She is made from Ultra Cuddle, organza, crushed panne, and fleece. Her eyes are gold fabric w/red fabric paint outline, and her beak tip is fabric paint as well. I have no idea what the gray fabric is, other than really stretchy and on sale. Wings are made with a foam core to hold their shape and enable flexibility. She measures 21 inches from nose to tail tip, and her wingspan is 23 inches. She condenses down to an 8" by 5" pile of ash.

Philomena belongs to Hasbro and Ms. Faust; however, the pattern is my own.
