here is the best of last year, if somebody could make a collage that'd be great
I understand if you don't have the time tho, most of us are at uni and exams are approaching

Generals tend to run out of steam after a while. Let it rest for a couple of days and allow it to catch it's breath.

Was trying to take in a pair of jeans, but it's going to be a pair of shorts for summer. Visiting MoMu tomorrow.

just ordered this dress pattern. super stoked

What fabric are you going to use?

Cut the legs like a butcher, but I like the look of the uneven length.

I finished the huge jeans backpack I started like 9 months ago
it's super confortable and looks great
I don't have anything to take a picture of it rn, but I'll show you as soon as I can

Hi I have a question. I want to attach a patch to a jacket, but the fabric of the jacket is thin and soft while the patch is very heavy. Could this cause problems later for example when washing clothes?
The difference between the materials makes me think the patch might cause the jacket to tear but I don't know anything about clothes or fabric really so I came here to ask.

>>13058871
Considering a big patch, you may have problems if the stress on the jacket is not well balanced. You might need stitches in the middle of the patch to make the two layers behave as one. Fabric glue may help too.
If it is only a small patch I wouldn't worry too much.
You may have a problem regarding the look or draping if the patch changes the characteristics of the jacket too much, but only a test can show this

>>13058985
Thank you very much! It's a pretty large patch so I will stitch it in the middle too. Thanks again

>>13057248
Does anyone have a pastebin link where I can find scans books/magazines of anything fashion related?

Did you read the OP?
Are you new to this board?

>>13059725
No, I bookmarked the pastebin and assumed it was all sewing related, I’ve been lurking/posting on 4chan since 2010 but only recently (2012-2018) been taking fashion seriously and really learning about it, and it’s now an obsession of mine

Ahahaha, making assumptions is always a mistake.
There are two pastebins with magazines, as far as I know. The one with Japanese magazines and the one in the Monday stands for Magazine thread.
Search the archive on mediafire and mega.nz. Some of them still work.
>>13058865
This one?

Shitty pic but made a denim noragi.

https://archive.org/details/patternmakingforfashiondesign-151012203826-lva1-app6892

>>13058828
Probably a linen or linen blend. Good for layering

>>13059836
yep that's my backpack
feels weird seeing it unfinished haha

how do i make Vetements?

>>13057248
more like poorfag general

>>13062693
Buy a hoodie 3 sizes too large and sew up the sides. Then paint some edgy shit on it

>>13062812
kek

Something about cutting slits in curved seam allowances bothers me

>>13060278
Qt, very nice

>>13058865
Skirt backpack anon i remember you

Has it really been 9 months?

>>13057541
Wanna post it? :)

>>13062698
It's okay anon, you'll find something you're talented at (Aside from jacking off and being a morose person nobody enjoys being around.)

>>13060278
A better pic

>>13064159
you did a really good job. fit on it looks near perfect.

>>13057248
What's this supposed to be? Other than a spent casing.

>>13063471
not sure I just said it without thinking
but apparently according to the archive I wasn't that far off

>>13064537
looks like a tie pin or hair clip

>>13060278
The first diy that doesn't suck. Congrats on that

>>13064677
Hair clip. It was pretty much just a low-effort project I did because I was bored from my /cgl/ project.
The biggest issue with it is that the heat from soldering it caused the spring in the clip to loose elasticity, so for the next clip I made I used wire to attach the clip to the rest of it.

>>13060278
very nice

>>13064087
Lol when I'm done sure

Excuse me if this is a silly question but is there any way you can do embroidery on a cap yourself or do you need special (industrial?) equipment for it?

>>13066286
Sure, embroidery floss and a handsewing needle

>>13066312
Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a shot

>>13057541
better be skele or else that bib is gonna look like shit

>>13066286
legitimately curious why you would think embroidery would require industrial equipment

it's pretty commonly known as a parlour hobby

>>13066555
Easy, I realise I sound silly as hell but I've simply never met anyone doing embroidery as a hobby and I've never given how it's done much of a thought. Really good to know though.

i made this

>>13067820

>>13067820
I don't like that

I made this jacket. It's the bundeswehrflecktarn parka dyed black with 8 press studs in the inside/outside so I can turn the bottom part in the inside. It looks kinda like a bomber jacket now. I'm actually very happy with the end result but it could be a bit longer at the hips.

>>13067979

>>13067979

>>13067979
>>13067982
>>13067989
why the acne studios tag?

>>13068000
Really don't know just because of the looks I think

>>13068015
In all honesty, it looks silly as fuck
like people branding things supreme they own

>>13068026
But the patch looks fucking clean. And a full black jacket is to "boring" imo

>>13067979
As the guy who did the cropped m65 in the last thread, this looks great.

>>13068059
Thanks m8

>>13068058
Fold over the fabric so it covers acne and then write your name above studios

>>13068065
Hahaha I'm not sure about that

>>13068058
I don't think any kinda branding looks particularly 'clean'
And adding a brand tag to something that's not by that brand seems so counter intuitive, you are branding modified surplus item so that Acne has the credit, why would one do that?
And it's such an odd brand choice as well, it's not like they are selling clothing where the main focus is on the branding.
Make a map pocket or something if you need to have something that draws the eye in, makes some sense with the surplus item I guess, granted the functionality that high up is questionable and to someone actually using them it will look retarded. But I think it would still be better than random brand logo slapped there.

>>13067982

looks really cool opened

>>13068109
The map thing is actually a good idea and it probably looks nice but the only thing that bothers me is that I maybe look slightly autistic with a map on my jacket. As you said before I need something that tracks my eye. I also was thinking about making my own patches and sew them on the jacket.

I made this technical drawing for a tech pack. What details do i need to add to ensure the factory knows exactly how to make my item?

>>13068386
cross-sections of all the seam constructions
visible stitching
the actual pattern

>>13068386
Back length, collar height, style of zipper, shoulder width, length from bottom of armpit seam to hem, style of seams, lining. Too much to convey from that simple of a drawing.

>>13068386
you need a list of measurements son.

also, any topstitching. it looks like you dont know shit about construction.

>>13068446

>>13068446
I really don't lmao. Thanks for the input though I definitely wasn't finished with all the measurements but i didn't realise i would need to specify topstitching.

>>13067979
>>13067982
>>13067989
You’ll never be knockensack, but you’re damn close

Good job anon, high waisted jackets are absolutely patrician

>>13068477
If you are sending this to a Chinese manufacture you need to be as specific and clear as possible. They are super shitty and like to take short cuts or do their own thing if let loose

bump

Ive got this grey long sleeve top, how would i go about removing the print from the back?

https://www.vans.com/shop/full-patch-back-long-sleeve-t-shirt-athletic-heather-dress-blues

>>13070295
You cant. It is usually a polymer that has been melted on there. The best you can do is patch something over it, which might look dumb

>>13070295
it would be cheaper just to buy a new blank shirt

>>13064159
damn bro what pattern u use

>>13067820
sad!

I have some short short jeans that I would like that look worn in, so I want get them even more grungy with some spray paint looking pattern, like red stripes down the side, what kind of spray paint product would I use?

>>13064159

>>13070386
seconding this

>>13063471

>>13063471
>>13072336

It is done!
Fitpic!

>>13068386
Thanks for the help everyone. Here is a newer version of the drawing. Does anyone know how I would tell the manufacturer what stitches to use and how to finish the seams in the sides.

>>13072459
also i'm aware i need to make the list of measurements and specify they type of zip and fabric

>>13068386
>>13072459
how someone so clueless hopes to have clothing mass produced is beyond me.

do you even have a fucking pattern for this, do you have a list of measurements? what about sizing, how will you specify fabric, hardware, construction detail? do you really think making clothing is this simple?

>>13063465
the trick is to do it after its stiched, and dont trim it too short

So, how do you make stuff so that it doesn't look like its something you made?

>>13070386
>>13071303
Here. It’s a p bad pattern but i think you get the idea.

>>13067820
i mean
i guess
drawing on a tshirt with a sharpie doesn't make you a "fashun designer" but i'm glad you had a good time

>>13072806
It's all about finishing and fabric selection

>>13072459
This is a hot mess. Go look up tech packs or just fucking make this yourself.

>>13072691
kek

>>13072868
as a patternmaker, im deeply insulted by this

>>13072459
cross-sections of every seam you use like mentioned before

>>13072868
>>13074966
Oh and pay someone who actually knows how to make clothing to make you a prototype and pattern, this is going to give you straight fucking garbage

Question: Where could I order calvin klein looking underwear but with my own text instead of the generic "calvin klein"? Tried googling it but came out with nothing.

>>13074993
what's your budget?

>>13075026
100$ max for bra and thong.

never made anything but i thought it'd be cool to try embroidering stuff on plain shirts. will my dad think i'm gay?

Is it possible to add this pastebin to the future OPs?
https://pastebin.com/cPsW7xue

>>13075124
most likely but hes a fag anyway

>>13075124
Just do it.
What do you want to embroider?

>>13075423
I was thinking of starting off with small things on the chest/pectoral area like a rose and then maybe moving on to collars. Big things on the backs of jackets also sound cool. Stuff like that. I can't really think of too much right now though and most examples on google images are of flowers

>>13074993
bump for this

>>13076837
No but for real you need a proper pattern, I wasn't trying to be insulting or anything, that pattern doesn't cut it

>>13072336
looks pretty nice im guessing you used a jacket for it?

>>13077337
no, it's a skirt

I want to recreate this mask with wool felt.
I think I'm able to draft a pattern, but what are some things I need to look out for? What problems are possible?

>>13083579
And should I sew it by hand or by machine?

>>13084836
I'd use both. But depends on your skills on sewing.

copped a pretty beat up pair of these for cheap. Thinking of doing a custom, any ideas?
I'm most likely blacking out the boost but I was also thinking of adding a zipper to the upper. Maybe down from the collar on to the lower seam in the primeknit.

>>13084843
Will wool felt sag?

>>13072806
>>13073739
True its not much beyond that. It took me taking apart a few good pieces of clothing to understand

>>13085450
post a pic the ones you own

>>13075928
Will this be hand or machine embroidered?

>>13077147
>>13074855
Not him but in the realm of bespoke clothing you don't need a complex pattern you self-important fag. Industry patterns werent even a thing until machines and amatuer garment construction became a thing. If you know what you are doing a pattern like that is more than sufficent there are magazines out there specifically for block designs you draft onto muslim and just tweak to fit which produces a superior garment than paint-by-numbers patterns (invented for basic bitch morons to follow)

M44 autist here, dug up some reference material I thought might interest some of you

>>13089782
Note that military cuts have arm holes that are very heavily lopsided forewards, and the sleeves are patterned to be at rest almost in a T pose

>>13089786
Like in this photo, the sleeves first jut out of the body then drape downwards under their own weight

>>13089791

Recently patched these two jackets up

>>13089782
British?

>>13087192
Here they are. The boost is a bit yellowed, you can't see that much in the pic. Also some cracks in the sole, but those are an easy fix with contact cement.

how can i dye jersey to look like denim? i know its possible is just dunno how.

I assume it involves dyeing white jersey indigo and then removing some of the dye but I'd be interested in hearing an actual technique

>>13089962
>>13089965
pic of patches?

>>13067982
Fit looks good. Name of boots?

Can anybody attest to dying leather boots from dark brown to black. A cobbler is willing to do it but how long lasting is the dye. Obviously will polish the boots with black polish when needed

>>13090677
Can take better pics or links to patches, if you need

>>13090402
some dyeing brands have a dye that's litterally called "denim"
otherwise go for "indigo"

>>13093135
yeah but denim has unique texture with visible white threads dispersed throughout

>>13091630
Just use q lot of black polish, for optimal trench raiding aesthetic

Otherwise, just but a bunch of loose iron in a jar of vinegar, let it sit for a few days, then sponge the liquid onto the leather. Follow that up the next day with a mixture of water and baking soda to neutralize the acid.

>>13091630
>>13093346
Whoops, misread the question

As far as I know, the vinegar method is basically permanent, while polish alone will wear through and give it a nice patina

>>13093327
yeah there's no way you'll get that with a dye

>>13093327
>>13094010
sure you can. like you said, white shirt + indigo.

are images back?

>>13090794
Thanks m8, boots are the Common Projects Officer Boots

>>13083579
I hanky pankied a pattern that needs to be improved, but at least there's a start.
So far it sags and misfits as soon as I look up or to my right. Does it depend on the fabric? So far I'm using cheap jute. I'm also wondering how I'm going to wear my glasses.

>>13057541
>Merchant & Mills
Wow thanks for putting on to these guys, they are exactly the type of thing I am into. Sort of like a British Alabama Chanin without the cotton jersey fetish. I'm pretty sure I have the same model Singer that they show in the video. Not a fan of their current patterns but I'm buying a book and notions.

Are there any books similar to Make Your Own Japanese Clothes: Patterns and Ideas for Modern Wear by John Marshall, but about different countries and cultures?

What's this type of multi color bleach dye called?

Does anyone know? And how would I go about making it

>>13057248
I made this graphic and I have something kind of like a white lab coat to put it on. Cotton button-up, basically, I'll post pics of it once I get back home.

What kind of printing would work best? I used halftones so each element is just one solid colour. Also should I patch it or just print directly onto the fabric?

>>13088832
Holy shit someone's been hitting the salt

>>13099566
screenprinting maybe?

I dont like a typo under picture but its not about rate your graphic

>>13098758
i think they take white tshirt, then dye it blue tie dye, then i see bleach but in some places they give more of it and get brown color, in some they give less of bleach and get that sand-cream color. but i can be wrong

What typo?

An actual lab coat? Nice

It isn't actually a lab coat, I sketched that out and gave it to a tailor. Notice the left side is far longer down than the right side. I did get the idea from lab coats though.

I'm trying to sketch a sweater in GIMP and I run into a problem because of inexperience. I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLUw8NSpQR8

what do you mean by chicken scratches? why are you even changing the layer mode? what are you trying to do? just changing the color? you can literally use the fill tool.

>>13067989
LMFOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>13108262
I am trying to recolour parts of the drawing and the video was the first tutorial on the list. With chicken scratches I mean the grey pencil lines. The majority of it is lost when I use the fill tool.

>>13109110
To recolor a layer you'd rather use a hue mask (if you can do that in gimp, not sure, mainly use photoshop-which you should get if you plan on doing any real design work. Cc is a great deal), or at worst a hue adjustment. Changing blend mode is not the way to do this at all, if the tutorial you found said to do that it's not a good one. Fill tool is also really shit if you aren't working with flat colors, it loses a lot of detail like those pencil marks you're trying to maintain. If you want to make more pencil mark "chicken scratches" for texture, find a brush texture like that to use.

>>13109110
Lmao dude just download a photoshop crack instead of using this dinosaur

I have a question to anyone here who is decent enough at sewing to manage repairs and alterations and basic constuction;

What would you think would be a fair wage for part-time work as a wardrobe manager and sewing assistant? Maybe 20-30 hours per week.

poor /co/ idiot trying their hand in the Alibaba clothing arena.

When a chink company says "American size", is that a trustworthy metric to go by? Should i still make a point of measure when the particular type of clothing has already been made by the company in competent fashion?

>>13111790
Just don't deal with the chinese. It makes thing easier. maybe 1/10 with enough effort and care you might get what you want out of them but I don't think its worth the risk of dealing with Chinks.

India or Thailand or even Vietnam are competitive in the clothing market and less likely to Jew you.

>>13111905
I'm listening to what you're saying, i really am, but then I see things like this and i'm just not so sure.

>>13072868
Where are the armholes at?
You should try a pattern making class, if you're self
taught, that's a good job.

>>13088832
this is actually not true, even though I prefer
draping rather than making flat patterns, what you
get depends 100% on the pattern (which is what
you get by draping). Have you ever tried to make
something yourself?

>>13084836
It depends on your sewing skills, it looks like
something fairly difficult. Practice on your curves
before trying. If you're not ready, do it all by hand,
this way, you'll get what you're hoping for easily

>>13072336
Mad skills. Cheers

>>13099566
That's 3 colors if you want to screen print. If the lab

It does. It copies the basic photoshop interface/internal logic. It has even more blend modes though, a rather absurd amount in fact.
