You don't have to necessarily order a t-shirt with a print of a plant. You can buy one at the thrift shop or look for one in your moms wardrobe. The dude also orders iron-on adhesive, but you can also lockstitch or blind hem that large patch by hand or machine. Optionally, you can dye the parka first.

[Do you need typed out guides on how to make tshirts, shorts etc.?]

I have a bomber that is a color that I really hate and was wondering if I could dye it like I did with my parka.

as long as your dye is appropriate for the fiber, it'll work
just follow the instructions and maybe look up tips
some dyes require different additives/catalysts to work well

Hey I recently got into sewing and I've been trying to make a noragi. I was thinking like a lightwash denim one would be cool, but I need to it be the same thickness as normal Levi's denim jackets, however when I checked at my nearest Fabricland, the only denim they had was shitty thin chambray-lookin ass fabric. Where can I buy real denim for cheap?

>>12080111
I think it'll look fine, but obviously a higher res image would be better

>>12080092
It's pretty straightforward, I'm sure there are plenty of guides online- though def make sure you have a super solid machine before sewing denim, as mine almost broke when I tried to taper. I elected just to do it by hand even though it took forever.

is it possible to evenly and safely fade a t shirt without shrinking it

>> No.12080221

Gonna be doing a dip dye on a t shirt first, then a sweater.

Thinking of doing like this
-powdered dye
-Hot water
-big bucket width= shirt width

Im trying to do a ombre/gradient/fade so:

First dip 4/6 way up, shake in dye for 5 min
2nd dip 3/6 way up shake in dye for 5 min
3rd dip 2/6 way up, sharke in dye for 5 min
4th -//-
5th -//-

should create a nice gradient right? Thoguhts?

It was a simple paper stencil 'pinned down' with fly screen. I then painted over it using simple white wall paint and a paint roller. So all in all, it was a very primitive silk screen.
