!But also!
ihr/sein: noun singular
ihre/seine: noun plural
ihr Ball - ihre Bälle
sein Buch - seine Bücher
if the noun is feminine, nothing changes except the noun:
ihre Tasche - ihre Taschen
seine Zeichnung - seine Zeichnungen

@Kiwikrieger Yes, I think it's a general rule that nouns always use the feminine article/etc. when they are plural.
It's the same with
das Buch - die Bücher
