Commission details / Q&A
14 years ago
General
Okay, wanted to get this up and out of the way. Please, PLEASE read all of this before you ask any questions or request any commissions.
Q: How are the hats made?
A: All hats are hand-made by me. I used to hand-sew them all, but that took lots of time and effort, for something of questionable durability. I've since started using a sewing machine, but that doesn't make them any less home made =3
Q: What are they made of?
A: Fleece, obviously. If you're looking for specifics, blizzard or anti-pill fleece. I get most of my material from Jo-Ann fabrics.
Q: How will I know the hat will fit me?
A: My hats should fit all heads. I make them a little bigger then the average head, about 24" in the headband, for added comfort. it also makes it sure you can wear it over just about any hairstyle. However, if you special order/commission a hat from me specifically for you, I can make it a more custom-fit for your head.
Q: Okay, the important stuff; How do I order a pre-made hat from you?
A: If you like one of the hats I have a picture up of, all you have to do is check the description of said hat and look for an etsy link. If it's already been sold, it will say there, and it will also detail whether or not I plan to make any more of that specific kind. If you really like it and I don't plan to make any more, simple message me here on FA and I'll commission it special for you.
Q; Well then, how do commissions work?
A: As I said before, all you really need to do is message me with the word 'commission' somewhere in the title, along with the kind of hat you want (if it's one that I've made before, send me a link to the picture) and if there's anything special you want on it. This can include headband size or anything of the like. HOWEVER, please CHECK MY COMMISSIONS LIST BEFORE YOU REQUEST. If I am not taking commissions at the time, your message will probably be ignored until another slot opens up.
Commission list:
Q; How many commissions do you take at a time?
A: This will probably change with time, but for now I'm going with about 5. Once again, be sure to check my COMMISSIONS LIST to find out whether or not I'm accepting.
Q: So wait, can I still order pre-made hats when your commission list is full?
A: Of course~
Q: Hey! I sent you a message for a commission, but when a slot emptied, someone else got it!
A: Ah, sorry, but it's a first-come-first-serve kind of thing. I'll probably take commissions in the order of the messages I receive, so please be patient and wait your turn. I'll message you back when it's your turn so we can discuss what is is exactly that you want.
Q: So, I've made a request, and made it onto the list. What now?
A: Well, that's up to you. What kind of hat do you want? A Pony? Your fursona? A specially colored cat-fox-wolf-bear? Maybe even a hanklerfish? When you get onto the list, I'll message you letting you know it's your turn, and then you get to tell me what kind of hat you want, and that involves everything; color, theme, design, ect.
Q: So, how long is it going to take to get my hat?
A: Well, that depends on a lot of thins. Some hats will be more difficult or complex then others, and I also have to worry about my own personal life as well. Also, I need to be sure I have the proper colors you want on your hat-- If I have all the colors already, it will probably be much shorter, but otherwise, I'll probably have to order the fabric online, and I'll have to wait for it to be delivered before I can start on it. And then there's also shipping time and such, which is out of my hands time-wise. In other words, I'll need you to be patient with me, as it could take a little while. I'll be sure to keep you informed, though, as to progress and approximate time.
Q: Well, let's get down to money. What are your prices?
A: For that, I'll refer you to the price chart at the bottom of this journal.
Q: And when are you going to need the money?
A: This is once again conditional, but I'll usually request half of the money when you order, then the other half once the hat is totally done. I'll post plenty of pictures to give you the assurance of its completion, then you can send me the rest, and we can all be happy =3
Q: And how can I pay you?
A: First off, I need to say; I can only accept paypal, sorry. Once we decide on your hat, I'll send you a link to my paypal, where you can send me the first half of the payment. Once that has processed, I'll get your hat done asap, then send you pictures of the finished product so you can send me the second half of payment, and I'll ship out your order.
Q: Anything else I should know?
A: Well, lets see...
-If you happen to order a hat requiring one or more colors I don't currently have, I might have to request more then half payment, so I can cover material expenses. Sorry about that D=
-Sales are final. If you don't like the hat, I'm sorry, but no returns. If you have a problem with the fit or something being wrong with your order, message me and we may be able to negotiate a refund of some kind.
-Yes, I DO make hats of just about any character, not just Ponies. If you want a Kon or Wiz hat, more power to you, and I'll be happy to oblige.
-Not all of the hats I make might be posted on FA... If I make multiple similar hats, just in different colors, I probably won't put them all up here. In other words, feel free to browse around my etsy for other hats you might be interested in.
-I might add things to this list as I think of them, so think of this as a WIP. You might wanna check back often.
Pricing chart:
Simple hat- $15
This entails simple short-eared hats, usually solid colored. Can be faceless or face...Ful.
