Lovely Horse Derpy-Chan! Oh how I've missed you!

I have three yards of Anchors Aweigh in cotton sateen...but unfortunately it looks like I'm not really going to have time to do anything with it. Is there anybody out there who's willing to buy the fabric from me for maybe $70? I originally paid $85 total. It's done nothing but sit around in a box, and it seems like a shame for such a cute design.

And here's the fabric with a 12-inch ruler for print size reference.

Thanks for chiming in, Potato. This is the kind of thing I was looking for. I wish I could take it off your hands but I try to avoid prints with too much white because I'm a stupid klutz.

I'd actually really like to find out how to get more colorways added but I guess I should look around more instead of begging /cgl/.

Has anyone done anything with the elegant gothic pony derpire? would love to see it if so.

Bump for delicious derpy

>>5519597
Yeah... I made me VERY sad.. It's off-black.

>>5519682
Oh crap. So more like greyish?

Derpy you silly horse get back to page 0.

Did the person who was working on the circus print ever finish? I wanted that with a burning passion!

>>5521751
I-I'm sorry! It's my final year and I've been extremely busy ;_; I had no idea I'd have so little time for any personal stuff... my current project is stupidly ambitious and I'd rather put off completing that print for a little longer than half-ass it.

>>5520161
Yeah..

Will someone post the image that anon posted of her skirt/JSK for Elegant Gothic Pony Derpire Romance?

>>5519682

I read somewhere that the way to fix this is to use "true black" when working on the image itself? Does that sound familiar to any of you draw-lolis?

To be honest I really wish the print wasn't so big... is there a way to change it?

>>5521774
I think it was because that printed it on white fabric instead of printing on black? At least that's what I'd heard..

>>5521887
>>5521774
The ink Spoonflower uses just doesn't go black enough. It's fine in outlines but they can't do a true black in large areas.

They also can't print on black fabric. It's a digital print so it would be kind of like putting black paper into a color printer. The only way to get opaque color on a black fabric would be a silkscreen process.

This is reminding me... I really need to buy some derpy-chan fabric, make a few skirts/jsk.
....Is there any good patterns for simple jsk? (even in old gosurori etc., as long it's its still relatively easy to find, it's okay)

It's quite expensive, though. I really need to find a nice/design pattern so don't waste it.

>>5522290
I'm not much of a seamstress so I'd say check sew_loli on LJ.

>>5522290
GLB 42 has this really versatile pattern from IW. It's a very basic JSK with cross straps and calls for a rectangle skirt, so perfect for border prints.

Is Derpy actually Fluttershy?

>>5522570

No

Not everything has to be about fucking ponies

>>5522582
But Derpy is a pony.
And coincidentally looks a lot like Fluttershy.

>>5522588

You know what the hell I meant, anon

Not everything has to be about MLP

Stop shoving your fandom everywhere

Yes, I mad

>>5522612
I don't actually think the anon meant any harm... I think he/she was honestly asking if Derpy's design had any relation to Fluttershy's due to the similarities.

I could be wrong though, in which case just ignore me.

Fuck yerr Derpy-Chan!

Wow, I never made that connection before, haha.
I'm pretty sure Derpy was created before MLP though. Or at least before it became poplular.

>>5522612

>>5522635
This. I hardly see how asking if a pony from a recently popular tv show is related to a pony that is the exact same color scheme is shoving fandom anywhere. Just because you and I know they aren't related doesn't mean that everyone does. Calm your tits. This oversensitive anti-MLP backlash is getting to be just as annoying as the people who are too into it.

Soooo, moving swiftly on, does anyone know where I could find someone that I could commission a Derpy-chan skirt from?

>>5522710
Depends on where you live, make a post in your local community? There's also a list of commissioners on egl somewhere.

I cannot find the skirt that someone had made with this fabric but here it is...

Just noticed Spoonflower has two new fabric types to choose from; kona cotton, and cotton poplin (limited). Both are cheaper then the cotton sateen and both say they're appropriate for dresses. Any fabric experts around to confirm?

>>5522784
I'd especially recommend poplin but yes both are good and pretty lightweight fabrics to work with for lolita.

>>5522784
Cotton poplin tends to have some stretch to it. It's typically a cotton-spandex blend. I'd check their FAQ to make sure that that's not the case. Kona is pretty standard cotton. It doesn't have as nice a hand/finish as sateen, but it'll work just fine for garments. Just keep in mind that you'll be ironing it. A lot.

>>5522795
Poplin is a weaving technique which gives a denser fabric than the regular weave.

>>5522794
>>5522795

Thanks for the fast replies! I checked the fabric guide and the cotton poplin says it's 100% cotton. I think I'll be ordering some as soon as I figure out which print I'd like.

Thanks again~

Does anyone know anything about making new colorways for Spoonflower? I desperately want the second one in >>5519277

>>5523493
In order to make a fabric available for sale, you have to first order a $5 proof swatch (or buy any amount of the fabric for yourself). So not all the colors/designs were made available since it would have been $$$ to proof them all -- the person who owns the account started with the most popular ones first I think.

>>5519277
Man, is that it? I skimmed their FAQ but it seemed too simple. Well I will make this happen then. Hopefully.

>>5523493

Those are all dark colors. Don't bother, Spoonflower doesn't do dark very well yet. See post >>5521948


>>5522710 does anyone know where I could find someone that I could commission a Derpy-chan skirt from?

I'd try The SnowField. She makes some nice looking stuff for very fair prices. I believe she lives in Georgia.

Thinking of making some derpy dresses/skirts for etsy. Which prints/colours would people like to see most?

>>5523687
Unless it's a really washed out grey, I don't really mind. >>5522744 doesn't even look that bad.

>>5522595
There was an updated one. I don't think I have it anymore since my harddrive crashed and I lost the original PSDs. If I get a chance I'll try to dump my derpy folder later.

>>5524018
That's fine then. Show us what you make!

But don't try to coord a black blouse with it.. Most blacks will be much darker.
If you can, you're a master!

I want a Derpy-chan plushie...

Anyone have good Plush patterns?

>>5524264
Seconding

>>5524123
...fuck. WELL If I'm getting a fabric swatch, I guess I can just compare. I could always change the background to navy.

>>5524264
I don't have an actual derpy plushie, but this gorgeous fella has been with me for years. No idea where he came from, but it's the best damn pony I've ever seen.

Plush

>>5524363
Damn, I meant Derpy-chan. He is derpy alright.

>>5524366

>>5524366
>>5524374
aw man, sweet! does it come with ears? :o

>>5524393
If the original anon posted ears/main/tail, I didn't save it, sorry

but here have a fawn head pattern that does have ears

>>5524406
>OH GOD I SPELLED IT AS MANE FIRST AND THEN AUTOCORRECTED MYSELF, WHYYYYY

What is the best suggested fabric for making Derpy goods? I was looking to get the sateen but the layout of the print I wanted moved and half of the bottom border ended up on the top portion of the fabric as well... halp?

Also could any fellow Derpinas give me a nitty-gritty on uploading my own prints to the site? I have a ton of ideas... Thank you!

>>5524436
The macro has a bit about the fabrics and what they're like

You would either have to get in touch with Gabi-hime, or start your own Spoonflower account I think

>>5524436

I originally had it so it only had the two boarders on the sateen but a few of the other fabric types were only getting one and half of a boarder so the DPI was changed. The Spoonflower owners email is derphorsedonation@yahoo.com (though I don't know if she's still around)
