BUMPAN IN EXCITEMENT

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT I CANNOT WAIT!!!!

ohhh i want to see this~

Post dat photo NAO

Left to right:

Classic cream looks great, the off white is perfect and the black is contrasted well.

Grape looks nice. The grape runs on SLIGHTLY on the pinky side than blue side.

Seafoam Candy looks wonderful and perfectly true to image.

Bordeax is the only disappointment as the burgundy looks like a deep hot pink rather than deep and classy.

Anchors Aweigh looks spectacular. Clean lines and good blue and yellow.

Steamy Tea looks fun and the browns compliment well.

Sailor Blue will need an adjustment because the blue looks purpley rather than a true sailor blue.

Chocolate is going to have to be lightened because spoonflower printers read that deep dark brown as black pretty much.

cont....

>>4416373
This brings tears to my eyes.
Joyous tears.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS awesome! in looooooooooove. unf unf unf

>>4416373
Did you get a swatch of the brown and pastel colorway? That one's my favorite.

>>4416373
is that a potato on the lower left hand corner?

FUCK YEAH

>>4416373
Fuck yes. I'm ordering the moite cross one, black and white/cream and the bottom middle one.

My requests for the next set are the red and black moite cross one, hipster derps and this one.

>>4416373
I'm assuming that's camera flair on the steamy tea swatch

>>4416373

BTW I can color adjust the chocolate, the sailor blue and any of the OTT colors. Just let me know.

Lemon sherbet looks AMAZING, holy cow.

U gaiz, I am in awe. u gaiz...

I can't sew for shit :< Anyone planning on making skirts to sell out of this fabric?

hey did anyone ever made a wonder cookie derpy chan print?

Homg awesome. Want want want~

Are they available to buy now?

>>4416373
I've lurked almost all the Derpy-chan threads and never really cared much for loli.

But goddammit do I want a dress from one of these.

>>4416427
YES FOR CHOCOLATE

That was the color I fell in love with.

posted the swatches over to the FB fanpage.

>>4416373
Smaller pic for those who like smaller.

Continued from above:


Elegant Gothic Pony Derpire Romance looks great. The blue is deep and mysterious looking

Moitie also look similarly mysterious albeit with lolipops.

CandyFloss looks superb. it may be the best of them all. The colors and contrast suit their printing process to a T

Derpy Carnival is sweet and pastel. I think the twisty poles should be darker as they are so light. Those that own Sugary Carnival should weigh in.

Bitter Berries turned out so well. The blues are so well toned together.

Lemon Sherbet also ranks very well. A nice soft yellow like sunshine.

Clover Hoof is spectacular. The detailing is superb and the color is really really spot on.

>>4416373
how much did it end up costing you, to get samples?

Hnngh! I can't wait to make so many dresses from these!

What are the measurements of these swatches, just for reference?

>>4416432

seconding this, I'd buy a skirt so fast.

This is amazing, the swatches look great.

>>4416498
not op but SF swatches are 8x8 inches I believe.

>>4416476
I can work on derpy carnival. That yellow is BRIGHT and the poles definately need some darkening I think...

But yayyy! I am so excited. This is awesome. I can't believe this all came to life. =D

I'm happy that all of you seem to be so giddy. You should have seen my face when I was unwrapping it. Now to answer some questions

>>4416451 Are they available to buy now?
Yes, they have all been changed to "FOR SALE" status now.
You guys can buy whatever you want.

>>4416400 brown and pastel colorway
Show it to me. We could only pick the 15 best and least redundant colorways for this first time out. So I don't know which one you mean.

>>4416411 is that a potato on the lower left hand corner?

It's a peach actually. That one seems to have fallen off early.

>>4416481 how much did it end up costing you, to get samples?
$22 USD. Anons kindly offered up their monies for it.

>>4416498 What are the measurements of these swatches, just for reference?

I was just about to get to this but thank you for asking. Each square of sample you see is 8" x 7.75"
So get your rulers out and make sure that's a scale everyone is happy with. If not, I can easily change it for something smaller without having to order new swatches.

I just love the last two prints <3

>>4416373
The derpier romance cross! OH GOD! IT'S JUST RIGHT! I was scared the whole fabric would be only one solid bright blue like the 'grass'

<3 <3 <3

I got fucking sideswiped by a truck today, my arm is shit right now, I'm trying to call out of work to no avail, my one daughter threw a MAJOR temper tantrum and busted her window shade, can't play Portal 2 right now...


...but this fucking horse has made my day SO MUCH right now.
>MFW I sign on Facebook and see the swatches.

>>4416420 I'm assuming that's camera flair on the steamy tea swatch

Oops I missed yours, sorry.
That's not camera flash. It's sun. The fabric the swatches come on is quilting cotton which is 78x 76 threads per inch. It's good for little projects & irons well. But the thread count is just 78x76. So you could see bright sun behind it.

I've ordered both quilting cotton and the organic 230 Thread Count cotton. I would make my clothing of the organic stuff. It's thicker, softer, irons well, and less cheapy looking. I also think it takes on color just the slightest bit better.

>>4416556
Yay I'm so happy. Oh God I don't know which ones to buy. D:

*dances* I'll go update the LJ I guess since I haven't yet, haha.

>>4416623
Whats the LJ called? I'd love to join!

>>4416605
Good to know! I'll order the organic stuff too.

>>4416627
http://derpy-chan.livejournal.com/

I am highly unoriginal. I'll post something now. :)

>>4416373
holy. shit.

i MUST HAVE anchors aweigh!!!! are there plans to print any of the other anchor colorways? i will buy every fucking color.

Please. Bitter berries and/or classic cream skirt.

Do want. So hard. Will throw bills.

God damn this shit is expensive but fuck it will be worth it.

can only order in fat quarters? or am i reading it wrong?

How hard would it be to make a t-shirt out of these? I've never sewed before, but goddamn.

>>4416698
It's not a tshirt fabric. :<

However you could order a swatch and cut out what you like size wise and then heat and bond it to a plain tshirt.

If you can find someone who can do a nice satin stitch around the edge that'd make it look swish.

>>4416682 can only order in fat quarters? or am i reading it wrong?

there are selections for swatch, fat quarter, 1 yd, 2 yd, ect.

>>4416732
derp. i had java blocked while viewing the page. i see it now. sweet.

>>4416708
Which weight type would I want for something like that?

Also, I'll look up heat bonding and such, but I'm having a bit of trouble imagining how to make it look best just plastered on a t-shirt. You'd have to avoid the sleeves, I'm guessing? I made a crappy mockup (imagine it wrapping around), but...

>>4416760
Aaand I forgot to attach the image. here you go.

>>4416671
How does this look?

Or is there an updated version of this?

>>4416698
Choose Organic Cotton Interlock Knit from the fabric options. That's T-shirt fabric.

Is there a site/LJ for derp-horse?
I really want to get in on it, but I don't know where to go.
WANT SO BAD.

>>4416760
I was thinking a smaller square/rectangle of the fabric on the front. Maybe the back too if you wanted?

But if you can buy it in tshirt fabric on spoonflower go for it. But my method means you don't have to learn how to sew. ;)

So I haven't used spoonflower before, but is there a way to purchase solid fabric in colors matching the background of these? To make tops/sleeves etc if you wanted to do a dress?

>>4416804
Psh, it can't be too difficult to sew a t-shirt. I'm sure someone I know around here has the equipment (measuring tapes, sewing machine, fabric scissors).

Worst comes to worst I'll head back to TO some weekend and use my sister's equipment. Would make a test t-shirt before using the fabric, of course.

Oh man oh man oh man I'm so tempted to order some of the cream and make myself a skirt. But I'm saving up for one of the Royal Crown Embroidery JSKs from IW DDD:

Worth it? Not sure...

>>4416830
By around here, I mean around where I live, just to clarify.

>>4416820 So I haven't used spoonflower before, but is there a way to purchase solid fabric in colors matching the background of these? To make tops/sleeves etc if you wanted to do a dress?

OP here.
I wondered about that too when I was doing this. The stopgap to that is that I extended the pattern of the fabric up to 56-58" and the highest butterfly goes up 27" on the standard design. So that leaves you 2.5 feet of un-patterned fabric you can use for matching bodices, bows, rosettes, ect.

I have entertained the idea of making matching stripes, dots, or butterfly fabric for the really popular ones so people can really get awesome with their dress making.

>>4416870
27 inches? Hmm that is pretty high. Most of my skirts are barely 20 inches in length. I hope it doesn't cut the pattern off too much.

>>4416820
Agreeing with >>4416870
There should be enough solid fabric left for the bodice/sleeves, but if all else fails, you can try bringing a swatch to your local fabric store and searching for a color match.

AAAAAAAH, I'm so excited!

The cotton sateen is the best for dresses, right?

I'm looking to use this pattern to make a sundress. When I saw an example dress made with this pattern it didn't look quite as cute as the pattern, but I figure if I shorten it a bit it'll work just fine.

As the maker of the bordeaux version, this is disappointing. At least there are plenty of other awesome choices for me to buy from.

>>4416804
Okay, I've thought about it some more, and have realized that making a t-shirt out of it would be kinda awkward because the pattern would repeat 2 3/4 times around the thing.

What material type would be best for the cut-out and the whole heating/bonding process? What exactly would be doing the bonding? Some kind of glew?

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

>>4416904
Yes, it's the sateen if you want to make a quality garment.

Anchors Aweigh shall be mine! 8D

>>4416933
Any of the materials would be fine really, but something not stretchy may be a little easier for you.

Heat and bond is a sheet of fabric. You cut it out to the same size as your printed fabric and then use an iron on top and it bonds between your fabric and your tshirt. It's very simple, a lot of people use it for applique.

Have fun! :)

>>4416870
Oh I see. I was under the impression it would be mirrored (pattern on both sides). Durp.

Well that's....tons of extra plain fabric then. So issue averted.

Um so I want to order for a skirt but how many yards on average does it take to make one? 2? 3? It'd be pretty basic, like a circle skirt or some shit.

>>4416979
>print
>circle skirt

I think you need to level your sewing skill before tackling this project...

I'm not even into lolita generally and I love this shit. Putting this down on my list of shit to buy if I get the job I interviewed for last week.

Steamy Tea all the way.

>>4416987
Well I am getting someone else to make it. Obviously I know fuck all about sewing. ;p I owuld appreciate a fabric estimate for the average loli skirt though.

>>4416987
Well I am getting someone else to make it. Obviously I know fuck all about sewing. ;p I would appreciate a fabric estimate for the average loli skirt though.

>>4416953
Righto, sateen it is.

I just placed my order. So excite!
>mfw I just spent $85 on fabric

>>4416979
You can't make a circle skirt with this kind of pattern sweetie since it sits on the edge. But you can make a simple skirt. Depending on how much 'poof' you want 2-3 yards should be fine!

Look up patterns for a-line classical shapes or cupcake shapes depending on your preference.

>>4417002
Hmm definitely a-line. See, there is such a huge diff b/w 2 & 3 yards in terms of price that I am wondering if I can skate by with just 2.

>>4416924
I luv u :D bitter berries is meh fave

>>4416996
loli skirts are usually rectangle skirts, about 3x your waist measurement (or whatever line on your body you want the top of the skirt to hit) say this is 30 inches, you will want at least 90 inches of fabric, around 3 yards. I think?

>>4417005
A-line will not sit nicely with border prints. What's your waist measurement? 2 yards (cut, not pure yardage) might be OK if you have like a 24 inches or less waist IMO. If it's a skirt, just double up the selvage. That way you end up with 2 yards of fabric with 1 full yardage.

Anybody have good tips for working with a print like this for an a-line skirt, rather than a rectangle/cupcake skirt? I prefer the look but I'm worried it'll look, well, derpy. But in a bad way rather than an adorable way.

>>4417012
>mfw realizing that 23" waist = only 2 yards needed

>>4417017
>>4417012
Aw shit son. Well, it's worth it then! I will get a normal cupcake shape at that. Thanks for all your patience <3

I have a 27" waist -________-

>>4416874 20 inches in length. I hope it doesn't cut the pattern off too much.

You'll be just dandy. The 20" mark is well above the tallest horse tail which is at 14" and there is a nice set of butterflies below the 20" mark as well so you'll have those too.

>>4416924As the maker of the bordeaux version, this is disappointing. At least there are plenty of other awesome choices for me to buy from.

Don't worry, we'll try to do something to fix it.
People on SF have a couple of color charts available so we can order some and make adjustments for that lovely bordeaux.

>>4417020
Sorry, you can't make A-line skirts with border prints. The reason being the hem must sit at a curve, thus cropping the border.

>>4417033
unless you do some weirdass panel thing like Twinkle Journey amirite?

>>4417036
like so

>>4417033
Righto, then. At least rectangles are easier to sew.

>>4417036
Do you have an image example? Meta has so many cuts I don't know what to look for. No that you mention it, IW's Flora JSK too uses border print with an A-line shape skirt BUT the design is randomly cut/not matched. It doesn't matter because it's a floral print, but it will look kind of messed up for a larger border print like derpy, unless the person is very, very good at matching up prints.

>>4417020
I think the closest method you can use is making the skirt part pleated and just *slightly* short to reduce bell shape.

>>4417053
OMG DO YOU HAVE A LINK TO THE STOCK PHOTO OF THIS DRESS? I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOREVER :O

>>4417053

That looks really nice, I'll have to try it out.

>>4417060
holy shit nvm I found it via the stock number.
http://www.marymagdalene.jp/contents/dress/202/0120/
GREAT JUSTICE TY

>>4417060
>>4417063
Looks like Grandma's couch print to me

>>4417044
OK, I see. IMO that just looks like the petticoat sits at the natural waist bu the dress's waistline is high waist so it creates an illusion of slope instead of curve. It happens often with high waist dresses unless you shove the petti all the way up to where the dress's waist sits.

>>4417077
to each their own. I am just happy to finally know the name of one of my OP's.

What I plan on making, except matching the blue from the bottom and top tot he water. Not sure if I'll go with blue or red yet, actually. BUT YES SO EXCITED.

Is 3 yards enough for a JSK? or do I need 4-5 ?

>>4417545
What are your measurements and how long do you want the skirt to be?

>>4417551
156cm tall,
66cm waist,
83cm Bust,
The skirts length like the ones on AP dresses, so around 50cm

OH GOD, YES

YES

UNF

THE ONLY WAY I COULD JIZZ MORE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW IS IF SOMEONE WENT AHEAD WITH MAKING THAT GORGEOUS RAINBOW-SHITTING BUNNY PRINT INTO A REALITY AS WELL.

THEN MY LOL-ITA DREAMS WOULD COME TRUE.

>>4417559
For JSK of simple design (minimum ruffles and other fabric consuming details), I'd say 2 yards should do if you have some experience in sewing and know where to cut. However, seeing as you're asking how much fabric you need, you should probably buy 3 in preparation of a fuck up.

>>4417559
And in Inches
26" waist
33" bust
skirt length 20", or does that sound small? My AP JSK is 84cm total, skirt length is 50cm... which is 20"....

>>4417573
I plan on commission it, but 3 yard will be fine then?

>>4417107
CUTE CUTE CUTE.
Make like 80, okay? So I can get a bunch and just roll around on them.

>>4417576
Probably. I'd suggest you show the design sketches to your seamstress and let them make the call. Nothing is more frustrating than running out of fabric during a project.

>>4417583
Okay, thank you ^^

>>4416427 BTW I can color adjust the chocolate, the sailor blue and any of the OTT colors. Just let me know.

Aesthete, thank you. I'll let you know what we can do about Chocolate and Sailor Blues when I get my hands on a printed color chart.

Meanwhile I'll put a little disclaimer so that people know once this thread is gone.

Also I also think I love Lemon Sherbet too.

Clover Hoof, do want.

Where do I leave my money?

>>4417637 see >>4416801

I went to the favric site and saw this pattern, now I cant help but pair them up now....

derp and herp....

For sale? Now?
OH SWEET JESUS

How much fabric would I need to make this type of skirt?
I am sorry for sounding like such a noob, I promise I'm going to make at least 2 practice skirts before I my derpy fabric even gets near a pair of scissors.

I'm going to use one of my bodyline skirts as a pattern I guess, cut out 2 skirts-worth of muslin, put one of the muslin skirts together, see how it looks, adjust the second one to make any corrections, then use the second ones as a pattern on some other fabric, then once the second one is satisfactory, I'll try the derpy fabric. I was probably going to get 4 yards to be safe, worst case scenario I'll just make a shit ton of tote bags or whatever and sell them to recoup some of the fabric costs and so other sewing-retarded people like me can have *something* in derp-flavored fabric.

>>4417877

First we need to consider your waist measurement.

>>4417773
Derpy-chan/ Derpy Hooves/ Fat Pony/ whatever that is OT4!

GOD I WANT IT ALL. NOW.

so aderpable.

>>4417887
Waist measurement is around 28"

And just so that I am contribootin, here's the derpy macro I made for anyone joining the bandwagon late. If I hve time later I'll update it with more current info.

I'mma buy SO MUCH of this fabric.

Roughly how much will I need to make a JSK?

>>4418106
Most JSK patterns from the Bibles & Gosu Rori Mooks use between 2 and 3 yards of fabric.

>>4418113
Hm... 2-3?
I thought it might be around 2 yards or so, thanks.

I'll need to see if I have any JSK patterns I have that I could use for this first, I guess~

>>4418150
Wait, I was wrong. I just flipped through the first couple volumes I could reach and the majority of the patterns require between 2.5 and 4 meters, so it's really closer to 3 yards on average.

Does anyone have any of the other classic colorways? (The tea cups with the stars) I thought I had saved some, but I can't seem to find them. That's my favorite print, so I'm kind of hoping for more of that if there is a second batch.

>>4418178
I'll post the one I have

That was all i had

>>4418182
>>4418183
>>4418184
>>4418187
>>4418189

Thank you very much, anon! I really like all of the color ways- it's hard to pick a favorite. I think I'd be happy with any of these going in the next batch.

>>4416419 IN RED
>>4416419 IN RED
>>4416419 IN RED
>>4416419 IN RED

I will die a happy soul if that exists

>>4416373
Oh god! I'm so excited now! I'll be ordering and sewing SO MUCH!

I can't decide which colorway I should buy D:

>>4418187
DAT GREEN

>>4418203 and original requester of the this pattern (been away for a bit)

Not sure how this would look the same scale as the original print. Since the this isn't as intricate as the original (not bad though). But it's so cute.

I'm just having one issue ith the artist doesn't mint. A bit of crit, the sides don't really line up so seamlessly. :( I'd really like to see this as a swatch (I've donate for this one) but not at it's current state.

>>4418182
Yes...YES.. :I

This thread makes my soul happy.

I wouldn't mine derpire requiem in another colour that isn't moite colours.

>>4418368
I have 3 colorways on my computer

>>4418182

Oh god, this is so cute!
I desperately want to use this fabric for a dress, I just wish I weren't so new to sewing. I'm afraid of fucking up.
If only I had a pattern that I could follow, but I don't even know which patterns would work for this these designs.

>>4418444
Same here, I think I can only make shorts and aprons..and I learned that in middle school years ago.

But hey, maybe some Derpy shorts and aprons would look cute.

>>4418444
The best way to work with bottom-print fabric is also the easiest way to make a skirt.

http://gothiclolitasewing.blogspot.com/2008/05/making-rectangle-skirt.html

sigh, the fabric won't arrive in time for a convention, and I would've loved to wear derpy-chan there... I don't have the money for Rush order because international shipping is high enough already, and we have stupid high custom fees here in sweden :/

>>4419035
You should try to do a group order for your country!

>>4419060
It would take too long time even then, for our community you have to plan the order like a month before actually ordering if you want enough people to join... And I only know one person who actually plans on buying the fabric.

>>4419035
For UC?

>>4419081
Yes

>>4419085
Yeah less than a month and actually being able to make something out of it would be really hard. I'm ordering mine while on a trip over to Canada so I can pick up fabric for others in Sweden too but thats further into June

>>4419101
Yeah the fabric would arrive earliest on may the 20th, and then I'm getting a JSK commisioned because I'm only good at sewing skirts and I want a really well made JSK out of Derpy-chan. And I also must order the lace... so no Derpy-chan JSK on UC for me, I have to stick to my necklace

>>4419119
I'll make it for you gladly, I plan on ordering lace from Kuboriki for my Clover Hoof dress as well. (Vanessa here btw). Of course as per Derpy-chan rules I won't charge you anything ^_~

I have nothing to contribute, but I thought you should know I read the title as "Deep Horse Snatches".

>>4419135
I just mailed Katja, but I'm still not sure if she will do it. I'll wait for her answer and I will keep you in mind. I still can't decide on what fabric I want too. I really love Clover Hoof, but the original design is THE derpy print for me, and I want it in lavender, blue and yellow

>>4419157
Sure sure :) Katja makes beautiful dresses but I'm not sure about her comissions, I really haven't seen anyone get anything comissioned from her for years. Ninah is great and Andrea as well ^__^ Not sure about them and comissions either though.

I'm not even a loli and I fuckin love derpy<3

>>4419176
I talked to her about it when the plans of fabric were up, and then she said that because of it being an original print she might do it. I just have to wait and see what she says now ^^

>>4419182
Nice :D Also, for UC, may I suggest a dress or skirt with a Derpy-chan applique? That you wouldn't need anything ordered for.

>>4419198
That's a good idea... I can see if I get the time to make something.

>>4419198
Fuck yes, derpychan applique would be pimpin

>>4419205
Thinking about it myself actually, and Teppo and I discussed making Derpy-chan bags. But I don't know if I'll be at UC or not so we'll see.

>>4419229
It would be very nice to have a derpy chan applique skirt for more casual days too

my love for derpy-chan can not be explained. I need a derpy-chan OP in my life

>>4417029
Late reply, but thanks so much! I'd definitely appreciate it if the bordeaux can be adjusted.

where do I buy the fabric?
