Not much of a diy project but I started putting flags of where I've travelled to on a black hoodie

>>12702975

a lot of brands do it (usually with "cool" flags like japan and south africa), people won't think much of it imo
I mean as long as you only talk about it when asked and you don't start bragging it's cool

so I have an idea for a patched jacket
the idea is to make a document of all the images I want to be put on the jacket, print it onto a fabric, and then cut and adhere them to the jacket/base

any ideas on how I should go about this?
I dont plan on using screen printing because some of them have color, would it be an okay idea to just bring the pictures up to a screen printing store and see what they say?

>>12706432
>would it be an okay idea to just bring the pictures up to a screen printing store and see what they say?
yeah why not

Looking for my first sewing machine. Want to work with denim, leather and lighter fabrics too. Is the toyota super jeans a good choice?

>>12706432
Direct to garment printing can be pretty expensive, as are custom vinyls. Probably around 20 USD to print an 8x11 full color/multicolor photo collage. Need to bring a shirt or something as well.

I've been working on my own sneaker company brand for a few months now and have prototype sneakers and a bold logo design that makes us stand out. The first sneaker line we will be doing is in skateboarding wear and techwear.

My main concerns right now is promotion, getting the word out without any problems occurring. The trademarks for our logo and design patents are also in the works. So until those are finished I can't post pictures of my sneakers.

How do I get the word out in the Skateboarding and Techwear industries?

>>12707531

Dude, that's pretty flippin' sweet. Is it comfortable to wear? Alongside that, what's the max weight capacity?

>>12708862
>Is it comfortable to wear?
so far yes. the first one (black) had four strap anchor points, and the top two was too far apart for the straps to stay on my shoulders. I designed the new one with three anchor points to avoid this.

>what's the max weight capacity?
don't really know, but I do expect it to hold up to some abuse. they both have a singular piece body (one long centre piece), and the one currently at work has stainless steel hardware and is made out of 8-10oz (4mm max) saddle skirting- same sort of leather used for saddle making.

Finally dyed those shorts, I didn't have much bleach so I couldn't get a uniform bleach, but afterward I got this rusty/oriental look which I think looks pretty nice
On the picture it just seems dirty but irl it doesn't btw

anybody here sew? what's a good machine for 500 cad?

>>12712206
1507WC by Singer?

Decided to do some quick alterations on the neck of a jumper I knitted a while ago, and it turned into also ripping out the hem and sleeve ribbing. Then decided to try to save a bit of time by picking up the live stitches on the front hem I'd ripped back to rather than putting in a lifeline of any kind.

Long story short there were over a hundred of unsecured live stitches (the little end loops on the picture) out waiting to be picked up and any one of them slipping without me noticing results in a dropped stitch and unravelling. Didn't drop anyway but it was more stressful than it needed to be.
Always use a lifeline friends.

>>12712206
Get a Juki.
Or a sewing machine and a serger for the same price

>>12709576

I'm a photographer so I was thinking of getting some good looking girls to pose for me.

>>12702237
considering bleaching the life of leisure art onto the back of a purple shirt, what's the best way to do this? I need some way to signify the coast break, should I dip-dye the bottom half covering up the hair, then do layered stencils as described in that pastebin for body? also is there any way to capture the texture of the water, or would that just be a ballache to cut out/plot for little reward
never really done diy stuff before, sorry if this is self-evident or has some obvious faults

>>12714257
You won't be able to achieve that with bleach try screen printing or paint it instead.

>>12714257
you'll need to simplify it a lot to get it to work with bleach
here, I tried with only one level of bleach(you can bleach the white or the black part, u do u) you could do with more but this is your first diy project after all
it will be pretty different from the picture you posted obviously, but I think it'll look even cooler

>>12714631
I'm stupid
here's the pic

>>12714289
how would I go about that with screen printing? the linked articles are more complex than I wanted and monochromatic/non-gradients like I'd expect bleach to produce. I'm unlikely to paint it because I've never done it before and don't want to waste materials (awful hand/eye coordination and moment to moment artistic judgement)
I guess my question is what is the difference between what I could produce with bleach and what I could screen print (control, precise tints, ?) or alternatively and more simply, how would you go about this, and what sort of thing would be produced?
>>12714631
thank you very much. do you think a delineation between water and sky is possible/worthwhile? I saw you can get a middle ground by dunking the shirt in water quickly (like the right shirt's filling), but it seems awkward to work in (lightly bleached bottom half, heavily done body/shadow/coastline/text, rest covered?) my other concern is how to place it to make it smoothly part of the shirt (i.e. starting from the seam with the coast, but that blows up the figure's size proportionally, having a horizon means half the shirt has to be processed->more fuckup surface and maybe mandates mirroring on back etc.) you don't necessarily have to answer all/any of this, I just need to think it through and wouldn't for a while if not forced to in text

>>12714703
You could do try with two levels of bleach to get a difference in hue between the water and the sky yeah

I think I overdid this

How do I go about embroiding this pattern onto a jacket's sleeve?

>>12718164
Anyone with an embroidery machine can help with some input?
There's no way this can be done perfectly by hand I would assume

>>12718203
Do it by hand u silly bean.
Get an embroidery hoop for like £3, draw the pattern onto the fabric and follow it w needle and thread

>>12702243
update: I did it
will post pics later

>>12718203
That's a pretty simple design to do by hand - it's mostly just lines, biggest issue you'd run into is keeping your sleeve taut because it'd likely be too small an area for a standard hoop you'd find in craft shops, but that's either fixed by finding a smaller hoop somewhere, finding another way to keep it taut or just chancing it with loose material (wouldn't recommend).

After that it's just a case of getting a needle and some floss. If you can do a basic back stitch you're set, if you can't it'll take you about 15 minutes at most to learn.
Practice on wok scrap fabric first doing the design, then sketch it out on your sleeve and go.

>>12719282
Some scrap... not wok scrap.

>>12719022
The black dye bled a bit (a lot) so the white spaces are a really desaturated purple (I know it looks grey an the pic but it's actually purple)
I personally like how it looks, but yeah don't use dylon dye if you want the white spaces to stay white

>>12719336
Looks better this way than it being all crispy and contrasting imo

>>12719362
Second this opinion

If I re-dye something that's a bit uneven, what are my odds of it becoming "fixed"?

>>12724502
>I did in their entirety, from the initial drawing to the crafting by hand
How did you create the plastic shape and everything else? Did you 3d print them? Or did you order them somewhere?

Should i dye my pink blush vans? The pink canvas is pretty pale looking after a few washes, so i was thinking of dyeing it black. Whadduya guys think?

burnishing the edges

>>12725068
Nice work anon! :)

Did you sell them or have selled some pieces?

>>12725232
nah. this is just a hobby thing. I do like the idea of selling in the future though.

>>12722053

and done

>>12724587

The plastic shapes were CNC cut from an acetate plate, and then polished by hand ( cutting the edges, making the curves flat, making them shine ). The metal part I took from an old, broken pair of sunglasses, and polished it so it became silver ( it was gold at the beginning ). The lenses are just water cut.

>>12725016
Thanks mate, yeah it was kinda hard and there are some mistakes, but it took a whole month to make em. As I said above the shapes were CNC cut but thus extremely raw so the polishing job was very long and minutious

>>12724502
Wow wtf this general has come so far

>>12725501
it's beautiful anon, mind sharing a bit of your story on how you started leatherworking? how pricey is it?

>>12725608
>mind sharing a bit of your story on how you started leatherworking?

nothing special. I initially started watching leatherworking videos on youtube when I was 15-16 and found them incredibly comforting, but being a poor (and unemployed) kid at the time meant that all I could do then was watch vids but that petered off knowing that it was an unaffordable hobby. Pink Floyd's "Time" actually motivated me to get a hobby to spice up the time I was wasting, and when I got a decent paying job a few years later the thing I spent my first paycheque on was a roll of cxl and a few cheap tools. turning 20 soon.

would def get into sewing fabric soon too.

>how pricey is it?

about 250 on supplies for this specific project, and just about 1500 on tools.

the material used in the new bag is sort of free of charge. I spent 160 cad on 15 sq ft of saddle skirting but the supplier sent the wrong material (15 sq ft of carving leather). Contacted them and they sent me the proper roll free.

>>12725641
>>12725608
the pic I attached has a box in it to push it to full capacity btw. that's why it looks bloated.

>>12724490
Does it include shoes?

>>12725641
>started watching leatherworking videos on youtube and found them incredibly comforting

complete novice to DIY fashion here. what is a good material to print on and work with? i guess i could do cotton for shirts but im looking more into jeans.

any help is great thanks.

You can screen print on denim. As for jeans, you would need to take out one seam so you can flatten the fabric. What do you want to print?

>>12729632
I would bleach an distress it some more and after that bleach and distress yourself

>>12702975
I like it, especially the Corsican one

Definitely not DIY, but I bought this jacket about a year ago and it fits a lot like it does in this picture (too much fabric around torso, sleeves too long). How much can I expect to pay to fix these?

>>12732176
looks fine in that pic honestly, that's how you want it to fit
moving around in it is gonna be awful if you make the body slimmer and take fabric from the sleeves

I bought some scrap canvas from a local factory outlet today. What should I do with it? Was thinking of using it to reinforce all of the patch pockets on my pants (pic related) but still have a bunch left over

Na mate the distressed look is so outplayed at this point

What do you think about this design on a white tee/hoodie/crewneck?

>>12734755
The "adults london" on the fag is going to be change btw

>>12734755
can't say that I like it
text in clothing in general is kinda passive aggressive unless it's quote or something instantly recognizeable
I don't really see how it communicates with being in hoodie or tee either, not something people really even consider but personally I think there needs to be a connection, otherwise it's just image and whatever clothing article
the cigarette just seems kinda edgy, everything you add to the picture is always a conscious choice, what do you think something like pot leafs communicate on images of tees and shirts? maybe needles or crackpipes?
I'm not drawing it as straight comparison but you decided to have it there, think about the different angles it can be viewed from because there will be different people seeing it

bump

>>12734755
Why that design?
It's not particularly well done and it looks a bit immature and as though it should be referencing something but it's not.

>>12702237

>>12734755
To make this work remove the text on the cigarette and replace "drama queen" with a handwritten font. On top of the font itself being unappealing, it clashes with the style of the illustration. Just go full indie tier and make it look like a little kid did it. That's the only way to save this

>>12741454
looks like a clusterfuck, the distribution of the splashing is nice but way too many colours that dont vibe well.

>>12741566

>>12741450
WIP?

Usually make fairly similar looking bracelets, decided to change it up a little. Really happy with how it turned out.

I want to make a noragi and I'm feeling a bit worried about the patterns I picked. Can anyone boost my confidence about my choice? Or at least give me a pat on the back for trying a new hobby?

>>12741863
Thanks! I will definitely post. I have been waiting to post in this thread. I'm worried it'll be too big based on my templates.

Any tips in oversized shoulder templates

A noragi?

>>12741903
Yeah it's a spring jacket, of Japanese origin. This is an example

>>12741910
Sorry bad pic

Hoho, nice patterns! Won't it get too thick and too warm?

>>12741925
I was worried about that too but they really aren't TOO thick. Especially the lining but I want to test it before winter. I thought about sewing this in the back but that's a bit much right?

>>12741944
Could look neat, but do it with the gray striped fabric and no patterned lining.

>>12741944

The textiles are nice and so is the bee, but don't over design it/over pattern it. Could get sensory overload real quick.

Maybe use a different, even fabric for the lining and the yellow flower fabric + bee patch for another thing?

>>12741854
>noragi
There aren't many complex tailored curves, you'll be okay bro
>>12741582
Yeah, I patterned it by myself and so so far I've only done one arm to see if it works

>>12742002
What's it going to be?

>>12741952
>>12742000
>>12741977

Yeah I was worried about the sensory overload aspect. I won't buy the bee.

I wish I would've gotten a more mundane liner but the purchase is made so I'm just gonna run it.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm curious about the top you're making. How did you pattern yours out?

>>12742083
You should totally get the bee, just be careful how you use it or use it on something else.

>>12742066
No clue, just some generic minimalist jacket, I was originally torn between a chore coat and a panzer wrap, said fuck it and decided to keep it as plain as possible

>>12742083
>reminder to make armholes lopsided toward the front on anything fitted
Lmao I kinda just mimiced blazer patterns i found online and copied them as geometrically as I could to large sheets of paper. I only took the bust measurement and winged the rest, as I can fix any body issues with a dart or two. Thus i ended up attaching and cutting off the sleeve at least three times to slim it and get a decent fit

It's unlined, but I'm using 10oz denim so it's somewhat substantial. I wasn't sure if I wanted to add pockets or not, but since I'm going to omit the cuff plackets I'm too lazy to do, I thought I might as well keep the whole thing m i n i m a l

>>12742254
That is denim? I'm surprised because it looks pretty light. What do you hope to pair it with fit wise

Retrying an orange tshirt.

I was reading an interview with a designer and it mentions the technique 'intarsia'. What does it mean? Another thing is that designers buy a lot of fabrics. Not all of that is used, because not all the clothes get sold. It's stored, dumped or destroyed. Can I get my hands on those fabrics?

>>12742335
The unused fabric you're referring to is called dead stock, I don't know how to purchase it because it's kind of an industry secret or something but if you find out please share

Why a secret?

>>12743211
Not a real secret just hard to find suppliers.

BUMP

>>12742335
Intarsia is the name of a knitting technique to introduce patterns and shapes into knitwear that aren't repeating patterns so he might have been talking about that. If not there might be a sewing or embroidery technique that follows a similar concept? I don't know I don't sew, there might not be.

I think the name originally comes from a woodwork technique or something like that but if it was a clothing designer I can't imagine they'd mean the wood technique.

How to remove a iron-on patch without messing my jacket?

>>12749205
Not in language that would help anyone and I really don''t have the time and energy to translate. Lot of it needs to be explained well too and I'm not too good at that and I would have to do it through text over internet which would be a nightmare.
I think it's just the process of creating something that gets to me eventually. First you have idea that you like, you think about it and refine it and make a plan how to make it, then you make the patterns, decide the fabrics and get them, do a proto, any additional techniques/shit that needs to be done and eventually get to actually make the real thing
But at every step during that journey you doubt yourself and criticize the aspect you are currently working on and you constantly have to have the original idea on your head and the thing you are aiming to produce as well and you just get sick and tired and bored of the idea eventually and then all you are left with is all the criticism that goes through your head during the creative process.
So basically I start with an idea I think I like and by the time I have something to show for it all I see is garbage. Not that I don't like the process and creating things and I always learn more shit, there is just nothing worthwhile to show for it.

lmao stussy SS 16

90% done, gonna reattach the sleeves to make them even then tape the edges, then press the darts

I was thinking of dying it grey maybe, what do you guys think?

anyone have experience using laundy pens on denim? i wanna draw shit but idk how well it works. googling tells me it works quite well but wanted to see if anyone had inputs

>>12749870
The white stitching ruins it

>>12756994
Check out 'blanco AW 09/10' by Mattijs van Bergen. He used BIC pens to draw patterns on canvas. You might want to try it out on a small piece on denim first.

>>12754043
Not the same anon nor a designer, but I found that actually putting precise and meaningful words on things you dislike in your work is very beneficial. It forces you to do a deep analysis of the flaws you see and deconstruct the steps that caused it to arise, thus allowing you to see those flaws early in the process. Maybe you should actually go through this 'nightmare' and explain what you dislike to us, even if only as an exercise for you to find more joy in your future creations

>>12749870
Cute

Thinking of making iron dye with some nails and vinegar water, anyone up for dye discussion?

>>12757013
>blanco AW 09/10
awesome, thanks bud

>>12753433
right one is some sort of DPM variant camo, it would probably work but the pattern would look different
my advice is to purchase a desert dpm smock, much better for dyejobs

>>12741454
I kind of like them, and you did a decent job at what you're going for.
I wouldn't know what to suggest, but I'd prefer to expect thicker(?) paint that wouldn't bleed, and near the toes it kind of looks like the colors are way too mashed up.
But honestly pretty good anon.

ohhh shit i legit saved this pic and what you wrote on the other forum that shall not be named here, literally inspired me to want to make sunglasses

tell me everything
i know you said you used old lacoste glasses but can you give a guide on everything i need to do?>>12724587

im making some pillows out of what's left of a bunch of blue satin brocade with an awesome dragon design on it that i found for like 1/10th of the price it would have cost new.

i previously made a satin robe for a friend using the majority of said blue brocade.

the remainder is becoming one side of a pillow case for the living room couches. i intend on making at least 4 since i have enough material, maybe 6. i'm thinking of making at least 2 of them with gold corner tassels and/or a gold trim around the edge.

the pics dont do them justice, the backing is also a layered effect, a blue voile over a gold lame so it has a nice iridescent kind of effect because the voile also has a bit of a metallic sheen. overlayed on the gold gives it a unique look.

all the material was found at 2nd hand stores.

front of pillow.

Any go to YouTube channels for diy. Especially for sewing. I'm tired of looking at chicks trace over their old clothing and make the same pattern in a different cloth.

looks cool. recommend experimenting with tie-dye styles not just spirals or circles, a gridded pattern, rays, etc.

also for aging/distressing, try using steel wool and/or sandpaper around the collar edges, shoulders, etc. to give it a more worn look vs. just a hole. i'm too chicken to just go for holes tho so that's me!

otherwise looks cool.... band tees are fun to change up.

>>12729632
welcome to 4chan bud

>>12742335

it depends on the designer i guess? if they had materials made custom for them, intend on using them for other areas (ie if they're big theyll do home furnishings and whatnot) or just want them to be kept for other uses.

i've worked for movies/tv and after those wrap it's dependent on what the production and the contractor or drapery lead negotiated with the picture company. the company might own it, they might give it back and the shop will keep it on hand and lend it out for other shows, etc..

one place to keep an eye out for fire sales or liquidations are theater or opera companies since they'll have to do a lot of set dressing and costuming so if they have shops theyll probably do a sale at least once or twice a year to make space and get rid of old materials just gathering dust.

>>12758795

yup im dumb, long time lurker, infrequent poster.

>>12750907

ur better off just replacing those jeans, if you try to re-dye or color it it'll look weird. it's more because the denim weave is worn after being done deliberately so it's not as easy as just re-coloring... your pocket will end up poking through anyway, etc. just get new jeans! i know how it is if you find a pair that works and have to reluctantly agree to replace/upgrade.

>>12741944

that would look cool as instead part of the lining maybe? stitch the bee onto the field of flowers and center it on the back inside lining. does that make sense?

>>12758793
there's a dude that did an m43 cap tutorial on some history forum, but beyond that you're going to have to dive face first into the deep end if you plan on doing anything original. I think I made two or three prototypes before making the white bomber in the OP

>>12750907
>>12758816

Dye the entire pair of pants and go F U L L I N D I G O

Really the problem is that only half the yarns in denim cloth are dyed, and the rest are white. So if you try to dye it after weaving, you'll turn the white fibers blue, and they won't fade to white properly. I still think it would be an interesting look, peicedyed jeans

>>12751153

How would I go about dying a regular jean sherpa jacket black?

>>12762185
just buy a couple packs of dye and go at it
it's mostly natural materials so it should take the dye well

Just got my first machine, any go-to sets for thread on amazon that I should cop? Something that wont snap.

>>12758770

Damn that's nice to hear, I feel honored.

Well first I hope you have access to a workshop because you can't do everything ( and by this I mean cutting the shape off of the acetate plate ) by hand. Or you could but it would take sooo much time for such an uneven result. Then you need to have access to some pieces, like rivets, hinges... So in short I think it's impossible to pull off if you don't have access to a specialized workshop, I'm sorry mate

>>12755050

The green is diopside, the blue is apatite, and the brown is sandstone I think? Held together with nylon coated stainless steel threading, finished with gold plated covers and toggles.
I'm not about the 'mystical' properties of the stones, but I like to make them reminiscent of landscapes (bracelet is supposed to look like pic related).
Most materials can be bought online via jewelry sites (fire mountain, amazon if you know what you're looking for, etsy, lima beads, bead jungle, etc.) and/or neighborhood stores, think these mostly came from fire mountain? Don't remember exactly.
For components, stay away from michaels and any Chinese sites (pandahall, alibaba, dhgate, etc.), though you can use beads from them, just don't expect best quality or 100% to look like the picture they post online.

>>12708559
Damn that's cool. What are the size specs?

Also I have a pair of black jeans that are really faded. Is it possible to dye jeans black ??

>>12757007
are you for real? i think that adds a great subtle touch of variety to them. i cant see black or matching the tan looking any better

how would i be able to find a specialized workshop?

i suppose literally making the glasses from thin air and earth materials is a bit foolish but what would you recommend? i suppose i'd be fine ordering certain parts online but where would i get them and how would i know which kinds i like?

New to /fa/, would appreciate some help. Anyone know how I can recolor this watch? It rubs on my desk at work. pic related.

What's the best website for uploading my own pictures and having them printed onto clothes?

Interdastin stuff: natural dyes and mordants

I used vinegar water that'd had nails sitting in them for a few days as mordant, and coffee as dye. So basically, the mordant on its own barely discolors the fabric, while coffee on its own stains it tan. When put together (the fabric was dipped in one solution after the other) they make a sort of brownish gray. The one on the left I put in mordant and let dry, then I repeatedly dipped it in coffee. On the other I coffee stained, then mordanted. I'm not sure how the colors will hold up in the wash, i've still got some experimenting to do.

>>12749656
Should work just fine without bleaching.

>>12766446
Yes, this was one of the only high res pictures of him, but I love the result

Since I don't know anyone that does t-shirt printing I just made the designs in photoshop and bought them on spreadshirt

On retrospect not a lot of diy involved, I still wanted to share these

BUT I will try to do a similar motive with transfer paper and see if its viable, because these were really expensive

test

>>12765422
Not much, but here's some stuff

I mixed some coffee and mordant, about 7:1, and now the liquid is pitch black, and it dyes fabric a proper warm, dark grey. I hand washed the bottom inch of the strip with soap and water, and it seems fairly colorfast, at least in comparison to my experience with coffee alone. Keep in mind that all these liquids were at room temp when I dipped them, so I'm guessing using heat will significantly boost the fixedness of the dye.

Looks like it's meant to replicate the Alien/Isolation watch, without having to pay £100+ each for two Casio f100s.

My grandmother bought me a pair of Levi's 513 as a gift. The fit is decent although the color is literally dad-tier blue (not the palewave blue). So I came up with an idea of painting them black. I'm looking for advice. Has anyone painted their jeans or other thick cotton fabric clothes? Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

>>12766822
why not just lightly bleach them?

>>12766822
i have, with acrylic color mixed with some "soft gel"
was going for a waxed look so slightly shiny
worked really well and stays on even after washing

>>12766822
Will rit dye work? I think there's an active DIY thread. They might know better.

>>12766822
a big enough bucket, mix black and navy
make sure the jeans aren't a cotton mix, if its 100% cotton you'll have no problem holding the color, but post dye wash may wash out all the color

>>12762185
>>12762201
I'm also doing this, should i buy synthetic dyes or natural? The insides are all 100% poly but the shell is cotton.

>>12766572
I didn't realize that it's possible to print other brand logos on spreadshirt. They look pretty cool, nice project!

>>12767405
It's hard to find bleach in my country, I don't even know how to look for it.
>>12767418
I thought acrylic dyes are solid and don't work very well on clothes, but I'll research it.
>>12767423
I guess It will! Sounds like the best option although the dye is troublesome to get.
>>12767426
They are 100% cotton.

Thanks to everyone, anons!

Do you guys think I'd be fine getting a couple bars of otter wax shipped to me during this Florida heat? I'm not sure how much heat they can take before they would start melting, but it was 95 F yesterday.

Wanting to wax a jacket I'm working on, but the local craft stores don't have anything right now.

Use thicker paint next time, I guess you thinned acrylic down with water?
