No happy birthday edition? This thread exists in it's current iteration for one year already? [>>/fa/thread/S12063970]
You should make a collage containing the best projects of this year!

Finished the brown t shirt. Have to wash it and iron it. Bought a yellow and a brown yarn in preparation of a sweater.

How complicated is it to make a tee/hoodie from scratch? Recently picked up a sewing machine and I want to try it out but I have literally never used a machine in my life

>>13000141
It's really not difficult, but if you're new to sewing you might want to try something with woven fabric first, since knits can be a bitch to work with if you don't know what you're doing.

Bought that parka liner meme but it didn't fit like I wanted so I just cut it to be a vest and added some buttons. In b4 han solo

>>13000279
Good job. You even got the texture right.

rate me gats fah

>>13000304
looks good but ur a meme

>>13000132
Oh shit one year already? I shold know, I posted them
The collage is a great idea, but unfortunatly I don't have the time, I gotta work for my exams
Can another anon do it?

>>13000279
But... parka liners are supposed to be worn with parka shells

>>13000625
It was really annoying to wear under my jackets. The shoulders were a little too tight and the elastic cuff was hindering my range of movement. I get a lot more use out of it now that I can wear it more comfortably

>>13000304
ruined

>>13000283
kek

>>13000409
I could make a selection first. It's the least I can do.

Hidee ho' neighboreenos

Nice doodle, but where is your sewing project?

>>13001368
yeah if you make a selection and post it as an album on imgur I could make the collage
>>13001422
let drawautist draw, it's unrelated but it's cool

>>13001388
I like u but drop the name

I’m back at it again, boys

I got this 60's adidas jacket, and I strive to reanimate it.
It has got a few paint stains which are about 20 years old.
The zip and the velcros are broken but are replaceable.
The cuff has a large paint stain, and I'm thinking about getting both cuffs covered in reflective paint.

But I have no clue what to do with the small paint stains that are all over the jacket.
Because It's unlikely that I'll be able to remove them even with gasoline.

What could I do?
Also, I'm open to suggestions

thanks /fa/

>>13002926
looks clean

here have my wet unidentifiable black object (quilted paper vest)

>>13002997
Quilted paper?
Is it wearable?
Can you post a fitpic?

>>13003004
yes, with fabric backing
not yet, it needs a zipper so it can be put on
see above

>>13002997
That is the most avant-garde thing I have ever seen

>>13003422
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I want to see more from him, regardless.

>>13003422
even more avant guarde than the flesh shorts?

Is there any way to color white leather sneakers into this slightly off white / cream color?

>>13004640
Dunk them in a bucket of fruit tea

>>13004791
Fuck you I actually googled this

>>13000132
Tomorrow I'll post a picture of the pair of underwear.

>>13005456
looking forward to this

I attempted to make a selection. Projects like patches, dyeing and simple alterations I excluded. Wasn't sure to include Christian Nassif, because he made his own threads.
To everybody: if there is anything I forgot and you think should be included, say it!

>>13000086
My Dickies 874's are starting to flare out at the bottom due to cuffing & look kinda bad..should I cut them near the ankle or is that basic?

doesn't look very good in all honesty
it looks like kid decided to make armor out of cardboard

>>13006626
looks like Shit

>>13006626
I imagined it a lot bulkier, like a harness.
>>13006296

>>13006634
It's made of paper I don't know why y'all were expecting it to not look like it was made of paper

>>13007315
I'm just saying it doesn't look good all things considered, paper or not, it's not very good look

>>13007315
What was the inspiration/idea behind the vest?

>>13007328
I wanted to see if I could make something out of paper that wouldn't rip into pieces immediately

>>13006626
>>13006630
Somebody once told me

>>13002950
That looks fucking dope! If you bought it online pls link. I would just leave it and wear it as is but if you want to customize it I guess you could go full meme and do a kind of Margiela/off-white paint splatter effect.

>>13000132
I support this idea, considering we're the sole positive thread on this board/It's the only reason I keep checking here.

>>13007477

Just tell me and I won't include it then
-OP

>>13007525
Have you ever mentioned this problem you have before?

Does anyone have a pattern for a pair of pants like this? With or without the knot is fine.

I hate how my phone camera screws with the colors, but it'd be too much work to use my DSLR to take these pics. I just picked up some tie fabric earlier today.

>>13007610
nah I just stopped posting
>>13007525
I think I'm good, while these threads are nice and I follow them, I don't really like how the 'format' and the increasing circlejerkiness of them and I don't wanna sound discouraging to anyone just not my thing anymore I don't think

>>13007923
Why didn't/don't you speak up?

How difficult would it be to print this (half page or page size) for the back of a denim jacket?

>>13008020
whoops, image only obv

Put this together a bit ago. Some elastic on the sling bag for a narrow water bottle. Fits perfect and holds really well!

>>13007890
Make a pattern on your own, look at some existing ones then modify them

Ur pic shouldn’t be too hard to get right, considering the loose fit

>>13008160
Is this spacejew

>>13007923
I don't see how we're circlejerky?

I made the coin pendant last thread (The one in the header image) and I got a lot of comments in response to the finished product that were critical of it.

If it were truly circlejerky, I would've gotten nothing but fellating comments, nor would we be mocking something for looking like it's from Shrek/a low-budget ren faire.

>>13008204
I am Jewish but lunarcore is for Zionists.

>>13007923
Yeah it's hard to keep the niceness of the first threads without becoming a circkejerk, I know what you mean
Goodbye, you'll always be welcome in these threads

>>13007430
Whoa
I got it from my granddad, he won it in a chess tournament a few decades ago.
That’s a real nice idea you have. Thanks a lot friend

>>13000304
What paint did you use?

Currently waxing my Black german army parka to give it a texture closer to something like julius' gasmask cargo jacket.

>>13010210
Not sure I may also paint something on the back before I wax it.

Bump

>>13004791
what am i supposed to do with all this fruit tea asshole?

what software can i use to make real world patterns? i have 0 experience, is there any easy one? efi optitex or marvelous designer maybe?

>>13008020
That's fuckin gay lmao

>>13012252
Idk but just a heads up, these kinds of softwares are usually p expensive and almost impossible to crack

Since you got a link to the Japanese magazines, here's another from another thread.

how do i make a polo shorter in lenght without looking like i cut it with a knife

>>13014349
bring it to a tailor

>>13012252
styleCAD is basically what you're looking for but it can cost like 15K for a license key

>>13014349

cut it staright across, serge the edge, press it, then top stitch.

I was thinking about transforming this into a kimono jacket, what do you guys think and what do you recommend ?

>>13014677
This is one of my inspo

>>13014677
i have nos experience but i'd imagine removing the collar in a way that was comfortable and aesthetically pleasant would be pretty difficult. its also a nice jacket to begin with.

perhaps try customizing it rather than fully transforming it if you get me

>>13014677
You would have a hard time. A kimono collar wraps all the way around the neck to the bottom of the actual jacket, creating a sort bomber jacket effect at the neck. A regular western jacket with a collar does not do this, instead opting for an O-neck with two 90 degree angles met at the first button (and obviously a collar on top).
You could do it if you really wanted to, but I think you think it's just a matter of cutting one seam while it's a whole series of additions. I hope you decide to do it though because I'd love to see the result.

>>13014849
Yes, i thought about adding a black or brown line like the blue one on the picture and removing the buttons but not much more. It has an already an "chinese/japanese shape"

>>13014863
Good point man
I think i should cut half of the collar and add the stripe. my kung-fu kimono helps me :)

Wish me luck.

>>13018501
holy shit, another /DIY/er
m80 i made the maroon cargobomber and the flannel track stripe jacket. I wonder if I've seen you around

Do you like my kitschy bullshit?

I hate how cut-in sleeves look on a mannequin. It's a pain in the ass because it's harder to get an accurate representation to sell it.

>>13018529

ohh dang your stuff is sweet. I wish there was some kind of diy fashion group on campus. I really want to get into screen printing and heavy alterations/making things from scratch

>>13018655
There's tfn but it's mostly girls and they don't really make stuff. I occasionally go to the art and design building to make stuff with one of my friends but im a business student so i can't go in alone. I'm sure you could find me on ig if you tried.

>>13018705

I'll check that club out. looking at pictures tho it doesn't look that interesting. seems like they are more about modeling

>>13018748
Yeah it is, i modeled a little for them a while back, but it's more about finding people with a shared interest in fashion, some of which want to make things.

>>13018566
Nothing ever looks as good on the mannequin as it does on a model.

>>13018566
I appreciate it, but i feel heavy patterns are best relegated to smaller pieces, as to not be so visually jarring. Thats just my opinion though. Are you satisfied with it?

SHOWstudio released a new sewing pattern.
http://showstudio.com/project/design_download_alyx

I cropped this old m65 and added a fuzzy collar. I still need to do the cuffs and re-fit the zipper, but it'll probably be done by tomorrow.

How the FUCK do I make clothes other people would want to buy? Do I have to get expensive materials? Is it the graphics? I have a basic sewing machine, it can do zig zag stitches and buttons and other stuff. But the stuff I've made doesn't look professional, do I need to do different stitches or something?

t. trying to start a "brand" but not able to make professional-looking clothing.

Thanks.
Do you guys know any other source where I can download Japanese magazines?

>>13021057
Nice, Ghost in the Shell vibes

>>13018566
I like it. I feel as though it could use a little more rigidity of form to balance out the pattern. maybe add something at the neckline?

>>13022175
Search "livejournal" on warosu.

>>13018505
cheers anon, going to do the same myself. gotta git gud

>>13021456
First make clothes that you would want to buy. Do you want to sell clothes, or do you want to make clothes?

Blanket hood

>>13023175
I like this, it looks very comfy

>>13023181
thank you. didn't make the base shirt myself unfortunately but still practicing

>>13023180
are you the flesh pants guy? I like your designs, always weird but cool

>>13023332
The serial killer pants were a bit much though.

>>13021456
Focus your efforts of craftsmanship: straight and clean stitching, quality materials, etc

For fuck’s sake people might buy shit just for the made in *not third world shithole* appeal, and they expect quality

>>13021456
Don't worry about expensive materials, custom graphic designs or fancy shit until you have absolutely mastered the basics. I made the same mistake, trying to dive in head-first, and wasted thousands of dollars on bullshit that never looked 'right.'
Go buy $100 worth of muslin and mess around with some simple but structured patterns until you're comfortable with your machine.

>>13019666
I had a similar thought and moment of dread between cutting and putting it together, but in the end I'm pretty happy with it. I'll probably end up keeping it for myself and using a different bodice for the remaining fabric.

>>13023125
The pic was taken before the lining was sewn in and the neckline properly cut - It's a lower, sharp V-line. I'll try to get a worn pic later.

and it's complete, really just a re-hash of a few ideas and a jacket I no longer wore.

and the reverse side

>>13024212
>>13024214

when you crop the jacket how do you deal with the zippers? do you have to get shorter ones?

>>13024245
I actually seam ripped the old one out and used a shorter one taken from an MA-1

is it possible to add a sherpa lining to a denim jacket?

bump

>>13024453
Yes you can. Do you want to line the sleeves with Sherpa as well?

>>13026063
Yeah that’d be ideal. How would I go about it?

>>13027059
Trace a pattern for the back panel and front panels of the jacket, and then the front and rear of each sleeve onto large construction paper. Then cut it out a little larger than necessary to allow for your seams. Sew the seams together so the Sherpa fabric has the finished edge inside, as youd expect from a liner. Then, hem the sleeves. Insert the liner in and sew it at the collar, then the front panels, then the bottom of the back panel. Then sew the sleeves in.

In my experience, it's better to have a Liner Thats a little too large, because too small will pull the jacket and change how it fits.

a friend and I are going to make clothes like pic related (there arent any things like this in the third wolrd country where I'm from and importing them is expensive af) then sell them to friends, if it goes OK, we'll get a website up and crap like that.

so maybe next week i'll post some pics of how things turned out

>>13027079
thanks so much, wish me luck x

Id like to sow the back of a shirt(ride the lightning) onto a hoodie I was looking at plain hanes and gildan hoodies,which of the 2 would you guys reccomend

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU FUCKS

Hey /DIY/, so I have a question for the sewers out there.

If I wanted to add fabric swatches to already made pieces (t-shirts, pullovers, etc., pic for reference) what would be the best way to do so? Would I have to do it by hand? Or can I use a machine (I would prefer this since I have a hand-me-down one, but have no prior experience sewing)?

And if I used a machine, would I have to take the piece apart first to do it? Or is there a better method? I haven't been able to find a single good tutorial online that shows this, so hopefully someone here can help.

Thanks in advance.

>>13008160
Very nice g

>>13032868
It's dead simple desu. Just iron the sides flat then sew any way you see fit. You can do it by machine or by hand but that question comes down to "do I have a machine, do I want to do it by hand, and (most importantly) can the machine fit into this specific spot"

I've done loads of patchwork before and the only times I've ever had to take a piece apart was if I was applying a patch underneath a previously existing seam, those times being patching a pocket and patching a hole on my pants on the way outside. Patching anywhere else really doesn't call for a disassembly of any kind.

If you want videos, maybe look up how to patch pants, or how to patch an old shirt. It's the same concept. Also don't be afraid to hand sew!! It's dumb easy, you just put the needle in the fabric and pull it out on the other end. Good luck my dude

>Buy a couple books on sewing thinking that I might learn to make some clothing from scratch as that would be fun
>The flood of impenetrable information makes even starting impossible
>Might as well be trying to decode the Voynich Manuscript

>>13033018
Cheers man, appreciate it.

I guess that's what I was wondering, if the machine can fit a specific spot. I'm not against hand sew, I just prefer the consistency and ease of a machine, but I'll look more into hand sewing first.

Thanks again.

>Why does anyone on this board take any advice of anyone of yours serious?

This shit is low- up to god tier autistic.

>>13000086
Are there any /diy/ anons who are currently interning in the fashion field?

I'm having a tough time attempting to understand what I should be focusing on, as I desire to venture further into the creation of clothing pieces but I am very limited in regards to my formal artistry skills.

I would like to work in the world of fashion, but it seems like you need to be a damn good artist to get into the design schools that are worth a damn, and it seems like any schools that are seen as lesser than a place like Parsons will more than likely not land you an internship.

I went to /ic/ to explore the ways in which I could quickly improve my art skills in order to hopefully create an art portfolio that would allow me entry into a place like The New School, but it seems like if you are not posting something about Loomis figures, anime or character development then it is, more often than not, disregarded.

Can anyone in the field give me some perspective on their past as a creative? Should I go back to focusing mainly on creating my own patterns and pieces instead of learning stuff like perspective and human anatomy for drawing?

>>13033531
i went to a pre-school for design, helped me build a small portfolio and learned me design process. Its practically impossible to get into any of the good design schools without some pre-studies

>>13033559
pre-school for design

Are there any names for this other than a pre-school for design? The only things I get on Google are things for children. I've searched for things like "primer school" and many other terms to no avail.

Should I begin emailing the admissions offices at design schools for advice on the best resources for pre-study in order to build a good portfolio?

I'm enrolled in school now, but I am reluctant to take any art courses since I don't want to miss any of the art coursework. It probably sounds strange, but for once I can say that I don't want the credits for a course to transfer.

>>13033531
can you sew?

because that shit helps.

anyone knit?

>>13033579
i dunno, you live in Europe? apparently the pre-studies are a Scandinavian thing, not sure if it even exists elsewhere

i went to https://krabbesholm.dk/da/Index

current project, a military inspired thermo vest.
kinda stuck on what to do with the straps on the sides. any ideas/inspo?

Anyone here apply DWR to some of their clothes? I have a Cotton-Nylon blend pants that I would like to apply some, their fairly expensive and don't want to ruin them. Any guides on how to do it? And how long do they last?

>>13033582

I can sew up basic shit. Although everything that I know is pretty lacking. I feel like I have just a basic grasp at most of the shit that I do, but the way I felt after sewing up my first piece from a pattern that I made felt rewarding as Hell.

>>13033592
Take this with a grain of salt because I'm still a peon, but whenever I think military-themed then I think of utility with a purpose that's presented in the most efficient fashion. Are there any ways that you could thread the belts through the middle fabric in a way that I could adjust the sides to better conform to my body without having to take the piece off or move my body awkwardly to adjust the tension while having the belt hidden from plain sight?

>>13033682
ah true, instead of going for its aesthetically i might aswell just make some sort of function (unnecessary or not) although sewing that stuff is difficult as fuck and time consuming

>>13033708
I don't understand the grind in creating something like this so really take it with a grain of salt. I'm really digging the jacket though.

>lost control and spent over $500 on fabric for "projects" I'll never get around to and another $500 on clothing over the holidays
I have a serious problem, but I can't wait to roll on a big pile of fabric when it gets here

>>13033942
this is normal, right guys? I've totally going to get to using all this up real quick.

>>13033975
Well do you have something in mind? Do you have any pictures of stuff you've done in the past? I'm curious

>>13034046
spring wardrobe stuff; a cocktail dress and some blouses and a chanel style cardigan jacket and some odds and ends.

I'm punching way above my weight-class in all honesty, more than likely I'll have to bring in some help or risk making a mess of it all.

>>13034062
I know the feeling. My ambitions far exceed my talents

>>13033213
Watch youtube videos bro.

>>13034158
Well, I am learning slowly. But I can't help that my conceptual understanding outstrips my skill. One minute you are sewing a bucket hat and the next you are reading advanced couture sewing techniques before you even finished it.

>>13034526
gotta practice the technical.

Anyone else do any accessories/jewelry type stuff?

>>13034657
so edgy.

>>13034803
How is that edgy? It's just a 5.56 hair clip. I figured it might look decent with the right outfit.

>>13034655
fair enough. taking classes soon to improve, hope my instructor can help me make sense of advance patterns. My goal is one day to make something as high-end as this.

>>13034910
>>13034910
>high end.

that's a commercial pattern dude.

>>13034929

>>13034929
>>13034933
yeah but in silk with couture finishes and and all that is above my pay-grade.

>>13034657
I made the coin pendant in the OP image/have made a couple of rings.

>>13034803
Do butterflies better suit your tastes?

>>13034657
How did you make that pin?

>>13035493
It's a clip. I pretty much just took a hair clip blank and soldered some spent brass to it.
>>13035157
This one I used a drill and a jewelers saw to cut out a design into nickel, then polished it and used wire to attach it to the clip.

Looking to make a new piece but am wondering what material this is?

>>13033592
I'd have made the straps super long so they hang down to your knees or something
more interesting visually

>>13033592
Did you finish the cashmere coat?

>>13035646
thats just a wool sweater thats been well worn, much in the japanese boro style. pills/webbing on torso, unraveling yarn on neckline. darning on sleeve?

>>13033595
H-help :-/

>>13035813
too tech 4 me

but yeah trying to figure out something cool to do with the straps
i'll fix it after my exams

>>13035838
yeah no i got cold feet, not good enough to sew a jacket yet considering a fuck-up would cost a ton

>>13036638
Once you get the basics down it isn't too hard to make a jacket. Admittedly this picture was from before I finished pressing everything, and it isn't the same size as the dress form.

I recently did this illustration and since it has only one color, I was thinking about screen printing a t-shirt with it.
From your experience, would I get enough detail for it to read well?

>>13037756
This is how it looks in full res

>>13037762
>>13037756
I can't really help you cause I don't know shit about screen printing, but this is a nice illustration
blog?

Thanks! This is the only piece that uses collage so far, since I'm currently experimenting as much as possible, but you can check the rest at http://www.menesland.tumblr.com

love that satan piece, great use of light
what brush do you use?

>>13024214
looks neat

>>13039346
I used the "Nupastel" one from Kyle Webster, if I recall correctly.
But I believe the main thing about that one is the DIY crayon texture I used. I scanned it, removed the white paper and then just painted everything on top of it using clipping masks

Oh man I love your work! Just followed your tumblr.
Is there any chance you'd share a full res version of The Sun and The Devil?

I've been wanting to get into it after I found some masculine patterns. Just too worried I'll be shit at it to buy a pattern and start.

New thing. Using a genuine 1950s pattern with super frumpy tits.

Not my taste but I can appreciate the work and skill you put into it. I can see this selling to an art ho for a "formal" look for $500. to match her tattoos.

update on DIY. I thrifted another pair of black jeans with the same wash and turned the back pockets into cargo pockets for these pants. Its still a work in progress

>>13042636

I also made the flap and the strap from some of the scraps too

Is it /effay/ to make your own watch straps?

That looks utterly ridiculous.
Maybe without those awful stripes.

>>13041180
I like it.

>>13033592

Only things that doesn't look like utter shit in this thread, to be honest.

>>13033592

I think it looks fine like that. its clean and gets the job done.

on the other end of the spectrum maybe some inspo for another project, but my brother has this paintball vest with a super overkill lacing system with pulleys.

I think it looks fine as is. Its very clean and gets the job done.

on the other end of the spectrum. maybe inspo for another project. my brother has this paintball vest with an overkill lacing system with pulleys. Ive never seen a tactical vest with something like this before a majority just use straps and buckles.

the entire point of the pants are the stripes.

The point is awful, then.

Aw geez, thanks anons. Admittedly I did buy a metric fuck-tonne of fabric that I thought had 'mass appeal' so that I can try to build up a bit of a following and easy sales before I move into nicer stuff.

>I've got 8 metres of tacky 'London' duck with Union Jacks, Big Bens and red double-deckers all over it.

>>13040851
well theres your issue. nothing ventured nothing gained

>>13043494
that must've been a pain to carve

>>13043739
I guess, but in my defense, the patterns aren't cheap and I have none of the supplies.

>>13044722
not if you have the right tools
only cut myself once lol

I tried dying my chucks black and I am so very displeased with my result. Not only did it turn the soles blue, but it shrunk the shoes too small somehow, I read online that converse "cant shrink" well sorry, wrong, if you put them in hot water for a long time, they will shrink like a motherfuck. the dye didn't barely even do anything either, it turned green converse into slightly darker green.

i made a necklace with a razor blade pendant once because i was bored

sorry for the seriously late response, I've been occupied with this project and some personal things so I did not get into /fa/.
I'm from Argentina, I'm just going to print out some patterns since there's a dude I found online that makes patterns from photos and prints them about 12 dollars each size.
The idea is to make asian inspired clothing but not just making asian looking prints but also using some custom patterns.
The cost of each shirt is around 7 dollars or so, with packaging and all that crap, we are going to sell it for 15 dollars and split the profit in half since my friend is the guy contacting all the companies and he is the investor, (we are just using his money) so my only responsability is to make some nice designs and post stuff on our instagram and facebook pages.

We are going to start producing next week if everything goes as planned, so wish us luck!

>>13047511
good luck mate!

>>13042810

yeah maybe not overdo it, simple so that i actually end up using it
