Last month when working on a MH-inspired pony outfit, I was lamenting the lack of fabric that looks like mummy bandages or brains. So a couple of weeks or so ago, I was looking at the Urban Threads blog (UT has THE coolest embroidery designs ever) and they posted about this site where you can design your own custom fabric!! So I gave fabric design a shot...making something that would work for clothes for Ghoulia. I haven't ordered a test piece of fabric yet (and the fabric's not cheap). But here's what I made for Ghoulia (click on the "Test Swatch" option to see a close-up of the design): www.spoonflower.com/fabric/849939I need to rework the edges a bit so that it tiles better. But I can't wait to try it. ---------------------------------------- Here's some of the MH clothes designs that I'm working on. Finished shirt, skirt and an extra shirt Cleo-style pony outfit (she'll be getting legwarmers too) Halter Tops

awesome looks like a ton of fun. i've checked out spoonflower, too... but.. you're right... it IS expensive... and i'm not sure how stiff or thick the fabric will be... so it makes me nervous to actually go through with anything! please let us know when/if you try it out... it's been on my 'to do' list for a few years. hahaha

Sure will! I'll post results here. Not sure when exactly I'll get the fabric; December finances are going to be tight. Maybe in January.

ha! i hear you! love the brain design though... makes me want to go design some fabric for sure... i've been thinking about just screen printing designs on fabric lately... it would be much cheaper for me but i'm thinking doll-sized patterns might be difficult to do... hmm..

Wow, I love your designs! They fit the characters' established styles perfectly while still being original. I can't believe that Pony Cleo outfit, it's so well made. *0*

Lovely designs bewilderness! I'm especially partial to the blue and black wrap in the middle. ^_^ I love Spoonflower! But agreed, their fabrics are expensive. They sometimes do specials where customers can order a free test swatch.

Custom...fabric?! That is SO COOL!!! As if MH dolls alone weren't doing a good enough job of taking all my money... XD
I love the custom halter you made for Cleo! It's so cute, definitely something she'd wear! The other halters you designed are really cute, too. I looove Lagoona's. I can't sew to save my life, so I'm really impressed!
The Cleo ponywear is like, the cutest thing in the world. Is UK Confetti your model?

Draculaura in her new underwear. You can't really see it but that's a sheer black ruffle that's attached to black elastic around the waistband. Also, I hope I can get a new digital camera soon, the picture is such bad quality I wasn't sure if it was even worth posting.

Eiiie those undies are SO adorable! I know a lot of people would pay for MH underwear! I really wish these dolls came with underwear. Not a fan of the bumpy flesh-undies. D:

Yeah, they really need some underwear, especially with those really short skirts (if Draculaura's skirts get any shorter she might as well call it a belt!).
