So what is everyone going to make anyways?

>>4300925
I'm not a lolita (as of yet, anyway) but I want to make some lolita style skirts, and maybe an apron or two.

>>4300925
a skirt! <3

What, this is actually happening?

I know I'm making at least a vest. My sister's making a JSK.

>>4300925
Skirt and matching tote. Something sunny and happy for spring/summer.
I think the moite cross might be fun to try too.

>>4301000 What, this is actually happening?

Oh yes. The anons worked together and this is totally happening. We got like so many colorways.

>>4300925
I'll be making a JSK, for sure~
I'll probably end up making a bunch of other stuff too, though.

Oh shit, you know what I just thought of as I posted?

Derp Horse Corset.

I think I'd like to make a pair of derp horse bloomers. I love me some bloomers.

Has anyone started making a plush? I was looking around at patterns. Really the only tough part is getting the nose bent down, but I have an idea at least...

>>4301180

I'm debating/waiting to see the swatches first.

>>4301203
...I'm damn hoping I have yellow fabric right about now.

>>4301195 derp horse bloomers

Oh man!!! Now I need some. If I pick up some Candyfloss pink too I'll be making those as well.

Can you imagine a cute little bloomer and pintucked cami set? I would DIE for the cuteness of that.

Is there going to be a second batch of swatches after this?

>>4301314 more swatches?

Depends on if these turn out nicely of course AND if Anons live up to all the hype and actually buy some to pay me back or Anons donate to pay me back.

So far only one person has even bothered to email me.

Hm.... I'd totally go for some derp-chan fabric.
It's gonna be sold, right? If so, where?

I've not really been keeping up with things so I'm clueless)

>>4301203
I made one a while ago.

>>4300925
I really want a jsk, but my sewing skills while not terrible, are not amazing either. Not to mention I have never made anything like that before so I am afraid I will fuck it up...

>>4301511

http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/gabi-hime

>>4301303
What fabric are you looking to use? Generally I end up using anti-pill fleece for most plushes.

>>4301203

I just got my materials for my Derpy-chan plush in the mail. I'm gonna be using minky, though, so it may take a little while.

>>4301517
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

>>4301531
I... um...

Good thing?

>>4301517
Oh! I like the embroidery solution for the mouth. I think one crit I would make is that the legs seem a bit long for the design.

>>4301525
Nice! Can't wait to see.

>>4301541
Look at the joy in Broodmother's face.

So would it be alright to sell Derpy merchandise (keychains, charms, that kind of thing) if all proceeds were to go to charity?

>>4301604
Uh, you can sell Derpy merch and have proceeds go to whatever. I for one would just be happy to have the option of buying something. But having the proceeds to go charity would be a nice bonus.

>>4301521
I was just looking to see if I have fabric in general for it. I don't, so I'll probably go with the same.

I'm still deciding, but I've narrowed it down to Seafoam Candy and Grape.

And my man just narrowed it down further and survey says Seafoam Candy. I'm not sure if I'll do a jsk or a skirt but I think I'll probably do a skirt.

I'm thinking I will try to fade it a bit so it's a softer blue too. I want something I can wear and won't really turn any heads until suddenly

"Hey wait...are those ponies on your skirt there....???"

Mmm yeah I will have a hard time deciding what to make.

YAY I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS

>>4301617
Well no actually. If you had been around for the earlier threads, it was decided that since derpy-chan was a collective effort, no one would profit from it except a charity (I don't remember which one, if it was decided at all). You can charge and pay yourself for materials and labor, but anything beyond that should go to charity, and most of the crafters who said they were going to sell/do commissions said they would only pay themselves something like $5-$10/hr

Furthermore, you best believe that if anyone is found profiting from derpy-chan, there's going to be an almighty lynch mob ready to tar and frill a bitch.

>>4301633
Yeah, so I must have missed a thread in the middle, but that sounds fucking stupid. I want a quality derpy-chan JSK, and I can't imagine that anyone'd be willing to make them if they weren't going to make a profit.

Lol, I asked before, and I never got a response....How much is an average commission for a skirt and how much should I expect to pay for a derpy carnival skirt? I'd like to get one for novelty values sake, but I'd like to know how much I'd be looking at? I can't sew at allll.

>>4301633
Yeah that's what I thought was decided, though I don't know if it's supposed to go to a specific charity, I was hoping to donate to a local scholarship my friend runs.

>>4301639
Well, the general sentiment is that derpychan is just so awesome and we are ~united~ by our /cgl/ inside joke, it's the only thing that has melted our frilly cunt Lolita hearts, etc etc so in the name of the sisterhood, if you want to make skirts for others, then do so at cost. No one is forcing anyone to make skirts, and if you don't want to use seagull slave labor, buy some fabric and get a local seamstress to do it for you.


But it would take a seriously stone cold bitch to steal derpy-chan away in the night and peddle it like some common supermarket quarter-a-ride whore

which, by the way, sounds like an excellent idea for a derpy chan print.

>>4301311
>a cute little bloomer and pintucked cami set?

I...I'm tempted to make them in classic lolita style, modeled after related goods from MM and VM.

Y/N?

Which charity gets the profits?

>>4301711
I think someone mentioned red cross japan or just red cross in general. i don't remember exactly :( there was a discussion of having an etsy store where "approved" merch could be sold by multiple sellers together, there's an lj where I think they intend to post links to "legitimate" sellers, post news and show proof of donations and all that stuff. if you want to email anyone, email ai_honey since they have the lj set up, or better yet send a message to the person who set up the spoon flower since that's the person who's probably invested the most time and will remember these details. sorry i couldn't be more helpful

>>4301774
Please, please pick a better charity than that. Local charities are a great idea, it doesn't have to be unified.

I really want a Derpy-chan JSK or OP. I can't sew so I'd love to commission one if anyone will be doing this.

I know this is silly but are there going to be any more colorways coming out on the Derpy-chan candy print? I'd love a blackxpink version!

>>4301701 I...I'm tempted to make them in classic lolita style, modeled after related goods from MM and VM.


Yes. Yes SO HARD. That is what I hope for. Totally serious, totally classic, but derpy chan.

>>4301492
Just emailed you. If we donate, do we get to say "I want this fabric to be in the swatch?"

*desperately hoping for Anchors Aweigh*

>>4300925

Bloomers, so many bloomers. I want Derphorse to become my staple PJs.

>>4303219

Just emailed you back.

Anchors Aweigh was one of the last 3 to be added to the swatch pool. It will be in the first run.

>>4303313
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

I seriously have the stupidest giant grin on my face right now.

I just wanted to let you know how much I love you /cgl/

>lickan monetary
even captcha knows what's up

>>4298008

E-mailin' j00. I really want the chocolate and the navy/cream, hnnnnnnng.

>>4303423
Sometimes I'm really impressed with anon.

:D I'd love to see the swatches, how long do they take to do?

I love the idea of wearing a derpy horse print, it's like a secret hello to other /cgl/ lolitas who will know its origins.

>>4303586
Eleven days. SO EXCITE!

I would donate if I had any money, but I don't , need to save up so I can purchase the fabric too

for the next bunch of swatches we should have more of this classical print!

>>4304560
As the person who donated the money for the first batch of swatches, I would be thrilled if that classic one and maybe that hipsters/owls one was in there, or either of them.

>>4304560
Can someone redo the classic print in kinari/cream background X dark brown Derpy-chan?

ba-bump

I am so living for this shit *_*

>>4303423
OMG, you are so generous. Just when Derpy-chan brought us all together in ways to melt bitchy hearts you go and take it to new heights.

Thank you, my utmost appreciation to you.

>>4303443 chocolate and the navy/cream

those are both in the this swatch set being made.

>>4304601 hipsters/owls

Wait, which one was this one?

>>4307179
I have it saved on one of my many computers/thumb drives. I'm changing jobs right now and all my shit is crazy. Next week when I have a chance to reorganize all my files and folders, I'll do any epic derpy-chan repost of every image, and tell the story of derpy-chan for those who missed it the first time around.

the chocolate colorway is lovely <3

Did the bunnies shitting rainbows print ever get finished?
http://ophanimgothique.deviantart.com/art/Bunny-Farts-199016624

>>4301645 average commission for a skirt

Hmm I usually see simple one ruffle skirts go for $60-$80.

Add a layer of quality lace/ribbon and it's $90-100

>>4304620

Bump for thisssss<3

lollipops and unicorns, oh my!

I've... Actually made some Derpy-chan goods in SL.

And put them up at an upcoming charity event. 100% of my proceeds are going to help animals affected by the japan disaster. Feels good man.

>>4304601

I MUST SEE THIS HIPSTERS AND OWLS PRINT
RIGHT MEOW!!!!

>>4304601
>>4310816
Here's the one I did, But I suck at colorways.

>>4310861
and the one colorway I tried. :/

I feel stupid, but what are these "swatches" and what the hell?

>>4307538

I'd love to know the story!

>>4310882
To be able to put fabric for sale on Spoonflower, they make you order swatches first. That way you can proof the color and print resolution -- so people don't end up selling stuff that didn't turn out how they intended.

Cant unsee this as a bunny/beaver face :(

Made a new colorway of the classical print

Our holy anointed Derpy-chan on page 9? No way, no day.

>>4311529
Can you please do a kinari/cream background version of the classical print?

Question for this thread. I know several people that love Derpy-chan and the designs, but they're not strictly into lolita fashion. I was thinking of opening wares with some artwork of Derpy-chan that were none lolita work, all profits strictly going to local charities. Would there be any objections to that or would the collective voice prefer Derpy-chan to remain strictly lolita fashions?

I mostly just want to avoid potentially stepping on any toes with this.

>>4312846
I can try

>>4313278
I think we have enough Derpy-chan to everyone. Anything can be made with the design!

>>4310877
oh ye gods I must have this.
Also, Hogwarts Derp horse with scarves in the colours of the Houses. Make it happen anon

>>4313278
Honestly I would love some toned down, more subtle Derpy prints. Maybe some regular all-over-type prints with Derpy-chans sprinkled around in it.

I love you derpy-chan

I've been a /cgl/ and loli lurker for years, I don't own any loli pieces, but I really want a derpy-chan jsk to start my collection...is that weird?

And would would be the best to commission for a good piece?

>>4312846
Cream colorway done

And a quick Green recolor too

And Dusty Rose

>>4313777

SO MUCH WANT NGH-

BAMP

I'm confused because I hear the name 'derpy' but don't see derpy..

/r/ing a print re-color of derpy hooves derp horse

>>4313777
Oh yeeesssss....

>>4314006
Lovely Horse Derp-Chan is not the same as Derpy-hooves. Derpy-Hooves is a copy-written character from the My Little Pony Cartoon, and thus not our property to sell merchandise of, SO PLEASE STOP ASKING.

>>4313545
I'll see what I can do when I get home from work.

Buuump

Bump

Whatever happened to that reworking of Twinkle Journey? :c

bump

I'd like to request a moitie blue and black and a red and black colorway for this image please. I'm going to use it for punk/gothic cutsew t-shirts at Anime Boston, and my photoshop skills are lax.

Rescuing our anointed holy Lovely Horse Derpy-chan from page 9

bump~

>>4318081 moitie blue and black

We already have 2 of these. One sweet and one gothic.

>>4319108
I think you missed where I asked for that specific image to be done. Not the white background part. Just the cross, and the bats and Derpy. I can't do much in the ways of art, so I can't take an image from the colorways and pull the background color off of it. I want to screenprint that image onto shirts, because I know people who aren't sweets that want a shirt that doesn't have the rainbow on it.

>>4314631
Wasn't really a serious request, but <3 if you do. Instead of scarves you could also try sweaters, or simply a tie or a wizard's hat.

bump because I've already go a comission spot on this

>>4313777
AHH this is beautiful.

>>4301311
omg what is the brand or where can i buy that fucking set of bloomer/cami set?!?!?
>and who is that adorbs chubby wubbys model? :3 she is so cute.

This. I'd like to know a reliable person to commission a simple skirt version of this from.

If I bought the fabric myself how much would that decrease the cost by, approximately?

derpy bump

>>4319990
I hear XPinkZombiesX is taking commissions.

*hides*

>>4320526
Sauce.

I tweaked the cream x brown classical print slightly. Looking at it, I want to order 1 yard for making something small (like bloomers or a camisole), but the price is making me wince. Sorry, I'm a poorfag. I'd been unemployed for two years and got a new job recently, but my first paycheck won't be in until end of this month.

>>4320526

Lol.

Never, ever, ever will I give that girl a dime of my money.

>>4313799
Would it ever be possible to get this with the steampunk cogs back in? Or would two steampunk prints be too much?

Slightly off topic, but anyone who has used spoonflower before, which is the best fabric to choose for JSKs or skirts?

Anyone archiving this one?

>>4320857
General consensus is the cotton sateen. The cheapest option (quilting cotton) is okay for trims or small parts of a project.

>>4320857
agreeing with >>4321084
See here: http://community.livejournal.com/egl/16690868.html
Personally, because of the steep prices, I'll be going for quilting cotton. But I plan to make some Derp Horse nightgowns, nothing I'll be wearing in public so fabric quality isn't a important.

I could sit there just touching cotton sateen all day. It feels so lovely.

I've been watching these Derp Horse threads from afar, but now it's got me thinking...

I usually make and sell simple classic lolita skirts on Etsy in solids with a few tastefull florals thrown in. If I actually make a few Derp Horse skirts, would people actually buy them? Or is this one of those things were people just go 'oh, cool idea!' but never purchase? Or, they make the skirts themselves?

Also, what would be a good price for a good quality, surged, seamed, lined and finished Derp Skirt?

>>4298008
updated the tumblr with your email, derp donations.

>>4324947

There's a Tumblr for this?

WAT.

>>4319962 omg what is the brand or where can i buy that fucking set of bloomer/cami set?!?!?

Don't know who the model is but here is the site you can order the cami and bloomers.

Silly Derpy-chan, get off page 8!

Bumping this because GOD I AM SO EXCITED

not a lolita but love it.
DERPY-CHAN IS SO MUCH WINNNN

i love itt

Bumping! Also I'm taking requests for commissions in USA!

>>4324859
I can't speak for anyone else but I will definitely be buying a Derpy-chan skirt from somewhere when I have the money spare.

I'm also kind of interested in seeing your Etsy, I fucking love florals.

>>4324859
I can only sew on doll-scale. I'd definitely buy a skirt.

I would love to buy fabric once the swatches are approved!! xDDD SO EXCITED! Do you need donations in order to buy the fabric?

Can't wait for fabric to be available! Can't decide if I want the original print in the grape color, or the classic one in rose. Either way, I'd commission a skirt because I don't know how to sew very well.

>>4327705
Etsy, DA, link, anything? I'm wanting a JSK by Colossalcon (1st weekend in June)...if completely possible, providing swatches come in and what not.
So excited.

>>4327945 Do you need donations in order to buy the fabric?

no we are all good for the first set thanks to a couple of anons. Just waiting for Spoonflower to get us the samples so we can order.

Bonus: free loli shirt pattern from Burda style
