Title: Does anyone make dresses for their mlp? Show me pics if you do :3
Post by: faespirit on July 15, 2023, 08:18:21 AM: Sooo I was just curious if anyone makes clothing/ dresses for their mlp. When I checked online, I was surprised that there wasnt very many resources on dress making for ponies as opposed to doll dress making which is disappointing since I just got into sewing and wanted to make some dresses for my toys.

Thanks to mlp fever’s vids on YouTube tho I managed to make some dresses and they turned out adorable ^.^

Here’s the thread where I posted mine:

If anyone else makes clothing for their mlp, show me some pics I’d love to see : D

I have photos somewhere but I don't know where they are right now. As a kid I used to make (knit) scarves and legwarmers for the ponies we took out on walks, and I corked neckscarves for a bunch of baby ponies when we used to play with them, but not really since then.

Doll ones, yes. Not so much pony.

Second, though I'm not a dress person, as I'm not a major fan of sewing beyond a few basics, I do make jumpers & capes for my Ponies (though not the g4s yet). So far I've been putting the jumpers on the girls to pair with skirts from an eBay seller, & capes on the boys. I wrote a knitting pattern for the DK yarn jumpers, but it has to be adjusted for thinner & thicker yarns (I don't recommend using thicker yarns on G2s or Babies as it looks bulky on them, however a G3 or G1 adult looks so cosy in one)
Teeny capes

Post by: Ponybookworm on July 20, 2023, 09:05:04 PM: I made some fingerless gloves following a pattern by Nimble Needles on Youtube. They had this handy little cast-on method you can do in the middle of a row, & in the row below it's a stretchy cast-off which goes with the rib-knit of the gloves. I used the same techniques (rib, stretchy cast-off, & mid-row cast-on) to make the face holes in the balaclava, then sewed together with mattress stitch up the side & whip stitch across the top. The side-seam is on the back of the head.
