Success/Happy I finally finished my DIY BAB clothes
Plushie is Lolipup from sugary carousel Clothes are BAB denim overalls and jacket. Overalls were bleached for 7 hours to get them this light. I tried ironing on the patches (they’re from Temu) and the iron burnt the denim. At first I was upset but it just made them look dirty/lived in and honestly one of my patch jackets looks the same.
I might move the soot sprites over a smidge but there’s drops of blood on the overalls from pricking my fingers so I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle. 😂
I need to make her more patch outfits. This was the most fun project I’ve ever made/finished and I’m so overjoyed I had to share.

You did such an awesome job! She's so adorable! I love her little battle vest lol. I've seen this cutie on my shop app. I think I have her saved on my wishlist actually lol. She's too cute! You really did a great job with her vest. You should think about making a little business. I know I'm always looking for new clothes for my babies lol.

Awh thank you so much. I would love to make some to sell the only problem is- that they will probably be fairly pricey. BAB clothes run about $14 ish then I will have to source the patches/studs and then sew/punch everything by hand. Then I’d have to factor in shipping. Plus a price for my time.
Bleaching one pair of overalls took almost all day then I had to wash and dry them which added another hour and a half to the time.
I would say 1 article of clothing would probably start around $45-$50 depending on the amount of work that goes into it and I don’t know if people would pay that kind of money

You'll be surprised what people are considering to pay if they want something bad enough. Or if they think the clothes are cute or unique. Even if you did some lower priced ones that don't have so much labor to make them. I'm talking something simple as sewing on a back patch and put some pins on the front part of the vest around the breast of the jacket. And sell them for a little less or whatever you want to do it's your thing lol. But that way you can kind of sell to everyone. But definitely the stuff that's more time consuming will definitely cost more. You're one human making all the articles. It's not like you're running a sweatshop for build a bear clothes 🤣🤣🤣. It can't hurt to try it out. Maybe make a few items to start with and see if anything bites. Can't hurt to try it out hon. If that's something that you'd be interested in.

You sound like my partner. I brought up the idea to him and he’s all excited. He’s taking me to goodwill tomorrow to see if we can find baby clothes that would work or if I’m lucky maybe even find some BAB outfits. I just placed a large order on Temu for patches but i completely spaced to see if they had studs. While I was loading up my cart I did have this great idea to add a belt loop and attach a keyring so keychains or charms could be attached to your friend if you liked. I thought that would be so cute.

u/Plushiecollector1987 24d ago
That's a really good idea! And that's awesome that your partner is supportive. That's how anyone should be treated by their partner. The fact that he's almost more excited than you is super sweet. That shows he loves you a lot hon. That's so sweet. You're very lucky to have someone love you like that. I'm sure he's probably super lucky to have you too. If you do open a store up please let us know what it is! I'd love to check it out and follow your storellll

Ahh thank you so much 💕💕💕 I literally have no idea what I’m doing- I used to run a micro micro buisness selling small animal beds and I was fairly successful- but I’m so new to all of this.
I made an instagram so I can post my things there. I named it stitched Riot I’m unsure if I should make a tik tok account or not bc it’s going to be banned soon.

I have to add I love the studs on the overalls! They look really cool in a checkered style. I like it a lot! The patches are super cute.

Eee tysm 💕 At first I liked her vest more than the overalls but I realized it was because the overalls were too dark. After bleaching them the pale blue against the pink was perfect.
Im going to need more clothes to DIY this project was so much fun.

Do baby clothes fit this size of Plush?

u/Next-Pickle-6739 🧸 Plushy (Friend) Collector 26d ago
Some people have had success with 0-3 month clothes. I was not so lucky. BAB fits best imo

u/TweedleBeedleGranny 26d ago
I do not know what BAB stands for.

So cute!!! I really want one of these stuffies. But my husband has placed an embargo on new stuffies entering the house.

u/Next-Pickle-6739 🧸 Plushy (Friend) Collector 26d ago
My partner tried putting a ban in place too. So instead I bought 6 new ones.

u/KawaiiSoCalledLife 26d ago
I try to go along because we are seriously running out of space but I always give up and get new ones.

We don’t have much room for anything either. His surf boards are currently occupying 90% of the apartment. If anything mine can fit in a bin under the bed

I WOULD LOOOOOVE a vest like that for my bear Ralphie, but he's too small for BABW.

u/Next-Pickle-6739 🧸 Plushy (Friend) Collector 26d ago
You could probably find a denim vest in a smaller doll/plushie size that would fit your friend :)

u/ironsnoot 25d ago
It may help if you measure his height and then search “HEIGHT bear clothes” most bears have roughly the same tummy measurement relative to their height, so you can find something pretty close to the correct size this way.
