I would add embroidery underneath it because it feels really skewed to the top of the hoodie. Obviously if that's what you wanted then leave it but adding something underneath would balance the graphic in a way if that makes sense. Graphic looks cool though, just ground it somehow.

Where did you get the graphic patch?

>>13753333
had it printed onto fabric then sewed it

>>13753491
How or where did you buy it?

Looks good, keep it the way it is

>>13753218
what embroider could I add to make it look as if it's meant to be off center?

bump i know you guys have some diy stuff

how do I add holes and cut down a belt?
I was thinking of using a drill, for the holes, but what's a good way to cut down a leather belt and make look nice(ish)?

>>13755115

>a drill

You fucking savage. Just use a leather punch

>>13755117
Haha!
Okay fine. I thought I could get away with just a drill.

>>13753218
looks cool but as others said also looks off center.
Anybody know how to transfer images on blouses like pic related? Also is embroidery on blouses harder to do than T-shirts?

>>13756933
Machine or hand embroidery?

>>13757728
I have access to both

>>13755132
I used a screwdriver lol

>Also is embroidery on blouses harder to do than T-shirts?
Depends a lot on the material and how its constructed. Hand embroidery is easy to adjust and not a huge difference if you know what you are doing, machine is a whole 'nother monster and depends on all sorts of stuff. I personally think hand embroidery is always the better choice as a hobby, you can do it to keep your hands busy while doing other things and the results can be very impressive. If you were to pay someone to hand-embroider it would cost a lot in labor.

making clothes is for slaves in Bangladesh and rockabilly thots

>>13755132
Don't listen to that idiot, a drill makes cleaner holes than a hole punch in my experience.

I want to add cuffs to extend the sleeves on my topcoat but I cant make up my mind on the material. Wool or Leather?

>>13758766
I would say wool. I always found leather accents to look like shit.

So my idea was to make a single line drawing of a face and get it embroided on a cotton blouse. Pic related is a quick mock up of what I plan on doing but with a random drawing I found, but I want the yarn to be a bit flowy by only going through the blouse at a few points

>>13755115
Heat up a knife (one that's not worth anything, because it'll get ruined) until it's red and then stick it in the belt. Do it on the front side so the melted leather spills in the inner side and won't be noticed

>>13753218
It's dope, OP. It's off-center, but it just adds to the DIY factor. I like it and as long as you like it, OP, you just keep wearing it. I give you five /fa/ points.

>>13758814
fella I actually really like that idea. But idk about the "flowy" part of it, shit could get stuck places and be a bitch to wash

>>13759906
yeah you are probably right about that, didn't really think about washing at all. I'll give it a shot once I have some sparetime and post it in a /diy/ thread

>>13753639
Add a partial hollow square behind/to the right of it that is supposed to act as the frame if the picture weren't off-kilter

>>13758814
That design looks like "dignity" to me.

Has someone ever made his own techwear pants for cheap and give me some inspo? I cnow I just have to taper a black cargo but I still wanna see how it would look.

Asked on a different diy thread: Is using fabric paint a generally accepted option for original designs or should anon utilize a program to creat his design at the expense of a more authentic diy look?

>>13753561
Want to know this as well.

How much was it for printing the graphic?
Is it dependent on the graphic?
Did you go to a mom n' pop shop to print it?
What kind of fabric did you use? Did you bring your own or did they provide?
Is the whole process doable with embroidery patches instead of fabric?

I'm curious because this is exactly what I want to do with one of my articles of clothing.

>>13755115
Use a leather punch or it will not look good. If you don't own a leather punch you can make one fairly easily. You need to find a piece of pipe (preferably steel, but brass can work too) that has the outer diameter of the holes you need made. With a metal saw, cut a piece of about 5cm/2in from it. Put this piece of pipe in your drill and sharpen one end's edge by spinning it against a metal file or sandpaper. Then measure where your hole will go and hammer your newly made punch into the belt, from the outer part of it.

Where did you get the fabric with the graphic? I'm looking to make/buy something similar.

>>13758814
rly love this idea my dude, i've been thinking of doing something similar myself.
re: flowiness of thread, i reckon it's possible but you'd have to tack it down with a (thinner) thread along the way - this way it wouldn't fall away from the shirt/come unstuck

bumping with some DIY. I added this woodpecker to my boxer briefs

>>13761177
Old /lunarcore/ photo but I tapered a flight suit last year. I think space ew had done similar stuff with cargos years ago, maybekask around next time a thread pops up if anyone has the pics.
>>13766623
A little rough but the texture fits with the idea of feathers, I like it.
