Why don't you open up shop though? It would be good to have a way to make money while life is on hiatus & I think your bussiness could really expand. :)

I want to. My mom still hasn’t gotten around to assisting me get started with it though, and I can’t quite progress without her help first.

Do you have permission to sell Disney copy right? Im not acusing Im asking. Haha because I see a lot of people selling paintings, designs etc of Disney, but I've also heard its illegal? I wanted to get into it but was wondering if I need permission from Disney~

I honestly don’t reallyyyy know, but I think (or hope) that since it’s more so an interpretation of their characters and scenes, it’s fine. I think of it as I’m more charging for the supplies and the time I put into it, not like I’m duplicating it and claiming it as my own.

How long did it take you to dew your prom dress? I'm interested in sewing and would like to sew a dress as well. Any tips? Thanks!

hayleythehatter — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:30:56 -0500

Oooh, maybe a couple weeks? I don’t really remember. Not many tips I could think to give! See if any of your friends know how to sew or any family members or something. If you’ve never sewn before, take a class! That’s how I got into it.

hi, I saw your flynn rider wanted shirt & its really cool!! (: is that for sale?? :O

hayleythehatter — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:19:25 -0500

Not at the moment, no! Maybe some day :)

Hello! I am a really big fan of all your art! It's so beautiful (and so are you!) I'm wondering what kind of paint you use for your shoes? I have painted a few pairs myself, but the paint I use is very heavy and the strokes always come out uneven, so I'm trying to find a new kind. Thanks so much :)

hayleythehatter — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 15:50:27 -0500

Oh thank you so much!

I use Tulip soft paints, and Tulip fabric spray paint for shading (on occasion)

Do you know where you but those Flynn Rider wanted t-shirt/singlets?

hayleythehatter — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 01:50:41 -0400

If you’re referring to this, I made them! :)

Hayley. I am in LOVE with your dresses that you make. I like seriously want one. I live in southern california too and Ive actually seen you at Disneyland a couple times(x It'd be SUPER awesome if you could make me a dress!

hayleythehatter — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 02:11:31 -0400

Sorry this took literally forever to get to - it got lost in my ask box!

I mean, it definitely depends! I really want to start sewing more and doing projects like that for other people, so maybe someday!

Will you be opening soon.

hayleythehatter — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 22:58:13 -0400

Perhaps.

I still have business things to take care of. Moving’s been hectic.

Forever wishing to be as talented as you are! I'm only a year younger and pretty much my only Disney-related talent is disneybounding. Like derp derp all I know how to do is make outfits derp. But really! I know you've heard it a million times before but every single one of your designs are fabulous and the execution is just beautiful! You're gifted. Keep moving forward :)

hayleythehatter — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:06:43 -0400

Aww, but disneybounding is great too! I’m quite fond of that myself. :) Thank you so much, though! Messages like these mean a lot to me. :)

Hi! I see your cute little clay creations. When you say "gave to Tink" does that mean she got to keep it? If so, are characters allowed to keep things like that you give them?

hayleythehatter — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:48:48 -0400

Yes, I gave it to Tink as a present, and to the best of my knowledge, I believe she got to keep it. :)

I also gave similar clay creations to the Dapper Dans, and I’m 100% sure they got to keep those, so I don’t see why it’d be any different for the other characters. :)

What pattern did you use for your Merida dress? I love it!

This question is from forever ago, sorry I didn’t get to it sooner!

How much do you charge for your shoes?

hayleythehatter — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:07:34 -0400

I’ll be charging around $30-$50 depending on the complexity of the design, plus shipping back to you. Also, you need to buy the shoes and ship them to me. :)

Announcement!

hayleythehatter — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:32:43 -0400

As of now, it’s looking like my shoes will be called Simply Mad Shoe Designs.

Also, I will be making a new blog for my shoes which will only post final pictures of shoes - all the WIP pictures will stay here, so keep following!

This blog will still be updated with all the other art forms, but shoes will mainly be on the new blog, just because it’s easier to have a fresh start and a page dedicated only to business.

Oh man. Me too. If only dress forms weren't so expensive! :( p.s. are you making any more flynn shirts anytime soon?!

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:34:48 -0400

Totally unsure about the Flynn shirts! The stencil was absolutely horrible to cut. D: I want to though because I know tons of people are interested in them, but I really need to find a good way to make stencils!

Your sewing skills are amazing. Do you use a dress form or a pattern or both?

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 02:29:56 -0400

Just a pattern! I wish I had a dress form. D:

the strapless wasn't annoying at disney? i feel like I would keep pulling my dress up.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:48:24 -0400

Meh, it kinda is, but it didn’t bug me too much. The only time it really got annoying was like Dancin’ with Disney and stuff where we were like on the go. Other than that, nbd.

i'm always afraid to go strapless to disneyland... if it isn't too tmi, was it ever an inconvenience to you? even when I'm wearing a strapless bra at school, i am constantly pulling my shirt/dress/whatever up and i'm worried it would be too much of a hassle at disneyland.

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:47:05 -0400

Meh, I mean, I had to pull it up a lot. But that doesn’t bug me too much so I’m fine with it. I wouldn’t consider it a hassle really since that’s something that you just do kinda mindlessly because of instinct. If you’re like gonna be on the go all day and are gonna be riding rides and doing a bunch of stuff, strapless might not be the way to go. Since we usually are just chillin’ and watching shows and stuff, it’s not that big of a deal.
