I have a light colored denim jacket and two patches on the way, both Velcro. Can I just see some Velcro on the jacket and never take the patches off or will they get fucked up in the wash?

>>7451
I wonder if the bottom patch would get me beat up in Russia.

>>7451
>>7452
This is the other patch I got, the jacket has a Harley Davidson patch already on the back, but it's worn in well

>>7452
Hopefully it would get you beat up in most places.

>>7452
I'd kick your ass for that dweeb

Why don't ya'll want to go to Antarctica? Don't you know the earth is flat?

Lads, im thinking of making my own RAF style jacket/parka.

How shit/flawed is my method and how likely am i to fuck it up?

Basically, this is what ive cooked up.
>buy plain piece of fabric
>Print artwork i want on the back of jacket (most probably a beksinski painting) using this method
https://youtu.be/yO3qZR8ahlk
>leave 1.5cm border around said image for sewing into using this method.
https://youtu.be/ODoLrCTxp5o
>Cut hole in back of a plain black Parka/jacket and sew into it using above method
?????????????
>cheap Raf parka

I understand theres a lot more to the appeal of actual raf parkas than just the fancy image on the back, but i dont feel like shelling out 10k to buy one. I can see it coming out a lot worse than i expect it to but i guess its worth a try, if not just for practice.

Hello, kmart in my area has some cargo pants that fit pretty nice as pictured and i was wondering what would happen if i died them and which colour would look good they come in black and tan. what would happen if i died the black ones with white dye or bleach? would it look cool or the tan ones navy would that work? cheers

>>7458
you can't dye anything white
if you bleach, it'll weaken the fabric and change the color to whatever the base of their black is (usually an orange)

ignoring the rest of your post

>>7459
ok thanks

>>7459
do you know about vice versa? white to black

>>7461
literally just identify the fiber of your item, buy a black dye kit for that fiber, follow the instructions

>>7457
What colours are the patch and the parka? The plan sounds good.

>>7450
nice, thanks!

>>7464
Some of them, like drapedrape2, are useless, because there is no pattern.

I hate sewing circles. Luckily it's only a small one.

>>7449
I use firefox, so I only have to download an app to rip the images from Kindle?

>>7467
that pic pretty much explains what you have to do, Firefox can't filter the images, if I remember correctly, so it's just more cumbersome to find the files

>>7467
I go incognito because I have like 2 gigs of ram on my shitty laptop and it crashes less frequently while ripping pics

>>7456
Faggots that spell y'all wrong need to fuck off

>>7457
Just be careful, mod podge is water soluble

>>7457
You're probably gonna have to try a few times to get the transfer process down. Also in my experience I've only had luck with laser printed images, but idk for sure if it's the only viable option.

>>7471
Oh yeah, and this. Honestly, I would just get a acrylic gel medium instead. It's going to maybe twice as much cost wise, but the finish is going to be smoother and once completely dry is going to wash the same as fabric paint.

1 last thing.

So I fell for the dyed Flecktarn Parka meme and attached a Yellow Eyes patch on one sleeve, I want to get a backpatch too, but not black metal related. Any inspo?

>>7476
>>>/etsy/

>>7476
Make or buy a patch that caters to your other interests?

Where's the anon with his shoe?

>>7475
nice! when will we be able to see the full product?

Any patches lyk this?

>>7481
ypu could order a t-shirt with this design printed on it and make it into a backpatch

i fucked up a bunch of saint laurent clothes

W2C thick black rope?

They want $30 for a piece of rope

>>7476
If you can, unsew some of the easier pockets etc using a quick-un-pick and remove drawstrings and any unnecessary garbage. Without ripping it ofc. Makes it look much cleaner if that's what you're going for, from experience

>>7457
Pretty sure there was a guide for this ages ago, involved buying a plain tshirt that lets you print your own design on it like that red bubble shit, then either iron on transfer or hemming(?) the edges and stitching it on

>>7480
Product? Anyway, soon. I did a test run so I can practice and see where I need to pay more attention. I'll post a picture in my Sunday best later.

>>7484
If you are planning to use it as a belt, don't, that looks pretty awful

>>7488
I am planning to use it as a belt.

>>7489
Just buy a big black rope, da fuk

>>7490
I can't find any

>>7483
way too fat for slp

what are you doing?

>>7485
I'm actually quite happy with the front, I'm looking for something to put on the back side and as I'm having black metal patches on all of my jackets, I was looking for something else to put there

>>7491
Maybe you can some rope:
(1) at the sewingshop
(2) where they sell curtains
(3) where the fishermen shop

looking for some help with a Calvin Klein suit jacket. Everything about it fits well but the sleeves, which are a fine length but too baggy width-wise. Anyone know any good ways to remedy this without fucking up the lines of the suit, or the sleeves?

>>7495
You want take in some fabric? I assume you know how to sew with a machine? You can always take it to the tailor.

>>7487
looks awesome I can't wait

How good does printable iron on paper work on standard black heavy blend gildan hoodies?

>>7457
well good luck? what else do you want to hear?

>>7457

don't cut a hole in the parka. just sew the patch over the existing fabric.

if you cut a hole in the parka, it will drape incorrectly forever thereafter unless the fabric you're replacing it with is of the same weight, drapes in the same manner, and you sew it absolutely perfectly.

just sew the patch onto the parka.

trust me.

lil bump

>>7498
What do you want to iron on it?

Does anyone have any experience with dyeing a black piece of fabric into another colour? Is the result just a very dark version of the dye colour, or is the effect barely noticeable? Can't seem to find much about this online.

>>7503
you can only darken fabric through dyes

>>7504
so I should use a dye stripper first, I guess.

>>7466
Me too anon, me too

Nice thread anon, wish it were more active.

I myself made a New Years resolution to learn how to hand-sew my own clothing without a machine. I have nothing but free time and I have always hated using a machine because its loud and stressful.

Starting with a basic bucket hat kit from Alabama Chanin. I also bought the book and it seems that all their teaching styles are based on hand-stitching from start to finish.

>>7507
Looks interesting, don't hesitate to post a pic when you're done

I swapped out the laces on a pair of super cheap Gu shoes... it looks like shit lol

but I might use the laces for some other light colored cheap shoes if I can

Dying my MAGA hat like picture related in blue text. Is a packet of Dylon sufficient?

>>7510
Normally yeah

>>7507
Machines bark a lot, but they don't bite. Sewing is fun, but when you spend a lot of time on 1 thing it's less fun.

how do I get muddy light blue jeans like pic related?

>>7513
Acid wash

I think I want to DIY these rather than spend $500+ on them. Soloist 'The Jean' made from Levis 501s. Does anyone have a pattern like this or would it basically be go nuts with a seam ripper and scissors and guess? Probably going to do them in grey or faded black.

>>7515
I think you need 1 or 2 jeans as a source of fabric. When you cut out a square you'll need to cut out the same figure + 2cm on every side from those other jeans. Plan and measure where you want to cut.

>>7509
>it looks like shit lol
Yeah it does

>>7507
Could you make a .pdf of the book?

>>7447
How do I paint on a jeans jacket like this?

>>7519
Acrylic paint.

>>7520
any acrylic paint, or are there special ones used for fabric? Does it wash?

>>7521
The anon in the previous thread (>>12280390) that made the jacket also mentioned fabric paint. I once painted letters in various colours on a tshirt to make my own devo tshirt (I gave it away). I did 2 or 3 layers of cheap acrylic paint and it didn't disappear after washing, although it had a 'cracked' texture.

>>7523
Lots of starch.

Bump

>>7513
I just did some experiments with bleach and the end result was kinda similar. I just put dark blue denim in bleach without diluting the bleach for like 7 minutes and then I put the denim under running water. Idk why it went yellowish tho, so idk how to control that

>>7484
Curtain tie backs. Or go to a fabric store.
If you get desperate, maybe check into porn store "silk rope" for BDSM.

I bought levis 511 and they fit like shit so I thought I might as well make shorts out of them. What lenght is better? Right above the knees or higher?

>>7486
It's in pastebin iirc

>>7528
What you want. Higher.

>>7529
Yeah that's what I thought, I just need approval from anonymous people on 4chan, because I'm not able to decide on my own.

>>7526
by diluting the bleach?
the yellow is the color of the original cotton fibers

>>7531
Oh I didn't know that
I tried with diluted bleach and it didn't came out yellowish. Maybe the denim I had was too dark to begin with

Would it be possible to to due this wool jacket grey/light navy, it's 50yuros and I don't want to fuck up

>>7533
yeah it's always possible to dye darker
keep in mind that the original colour stays, so your final product will always have a small greenish tint

>>7531
How damaged are the jeans?

I don't know anything about DIY but can anybody please explain to me how to do something like this?

>>7536
option 1. heat transfer print directly onto hoodie
option 2. print pictures on white fabric, sew unto hoodie.

probably more options as well. but these 2 at the top of my head.

Should I? Pls help

>>7538
u do u
>>7536
printing the images on white fabric and then sewing them seems to be the better option. Use the same method as the raf simons parka in the pastebin

bump

>>7538
Waterproof? Wouldn't the patch damage that?

The concept of /diy/ seems to have ties to sustainability. What are some good resources on that?

>>7541
>Waterproof? Wouldn't the patch damage that?
I doubt it

>>7541
>>7542
It's only lightly water resistant; a heavy rain would make quick work of the jacket

Would someone mind elaborating on "sustainability"? I think it should be fairly easy to piece things together from old inspo and old clothing (to take apart and make into new stuff), if that's what you mean

>>7476

>>7544
I've heard some anon complain about the quality of inner decay, but idk

>>7543
"The goal of (sustainable fashion] is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility. It can be seen as an alternative trend against fast fashion." Wiki sez. I guess it means that you try to minimize the negative impact the creation of clothing has on the earth so that later generations can still benefit from it. Repurposing clothes is part of it, but also using natural dyes and creating clothes that have a longer lifespan than just one season. Story MFG seems like a good example.

>>7548
Yeah, how come this thread is so slow?

>>7547
I really like both the idea and the execution

>>7549
It was going to say "Hi", but I was holding it upside down. My roommate said "Just change it to 'OH'"

>>7552
Well I think oh is better than hi, so fortunatly you were an idiot

>>7553
I think so too. Thank god for my idiocy

Next week I get two books of Readers Digest (Complete Guide to Needlework and Complete Guide to Sewing) in the mail. I'll try to make a .pdf of it, so you know.

Fuck yeah

Thanks anon

One book came in early.

Is there anybody here who was experience with sewing leather or sewing shoes in general? I wanted to replicate these Raf Simons sneakers because I cant find them anywhere in my size. What would be the best way? I was thinking of taking some old leather trainers, detach the sole, sew the leather appliques on and then reglue/stitch

>>7563
Wow this looks nice

>>7564
You could try Steilzeitgeist and the archive on /diy/.

how do I create a pair of vetements style jeans. I think this will be a pretty good project because in theory I will be able to have a perfectly fitting pair of jeans.

Is it possible to remove fleece lining on the inside of a winter jacket? I need it for summer senpai

>>7457
>technique
good taste, raf.

>>7574
Yes, I think so.

was thinking about cutting up my det som var en gang shirt (sleeves too short for me). the plan is eithere to make t-shirt out of it or cut the front in to a badge that would go the back of dyed black bw parka. does either of these sound like a good plan or do you fellows have some other succestions?

>>7564
You'd need a sewing awl for the sole and possibly something to punch holes with for the leather, you can buy a leather punch online. Cop leather from etsy, you can get a 12x12 sheet for $5-$7, so you can get a few. Leather is a bitch to sew though.

>>7574
Anyone? Please

Where do y'all learn to taper pants? Any decent YouTube channels where I can learn that kind of stuff? I'd like to start sewing and altering my own clothes, but I'm clueless.

Dyeing a heather champion grey crewneck this color, curious to see how it will turn out

>>7577
What do you need in your wardrobe? If you choose the parka maybe add elements of crust punk.

>>7580
There are plenty tutorials online. You measure what you need to take in. You fold the pants inside out. You draw a line, stitch and cut the leftover fabric. I think a better project for a beginner would be a tshirt. It's a simple project to get familiar with the sewing machine and it's various stitches. It also gives you a basic idea of how a garment is constructed. The pastebin has links to websites that offer patterns. Instructions are included with them.

>>7458
>white dye
are you serious right now?

>>7574
I'm sure it's possible with a lot of sewing involved, sounds fairly ambitious though cause that would probably entail cutting quite a few seams

>>7583
Wtf is that pic

I’m gently bleaching the bottom part so that it matches the rest, but I’m afraid I'll make it accidentally too light

>>7586
And I also made this

>>7586
Anon did it the madman
It looks fantastic m8, I wouldn't worry about the bottom being darker than the rest as uneven tone is just another characteristic of denim

>>7579
Don't ruin the jacket, man. I'm sure you could just cut it with scissors but unlined jackets (especially with tough outer material like nylon) feel rough against your body

>>7586
I looks nice that some parts are lighter.

>>7476
I have two questions.
What percent cotton/poly was yours and what dye/how much did you use?
I have a 65/35 and I used to packs of rit dye with hot water and salt and my jacket is noticeably darker but it isn't black more of a very dark green and in some light black-ish with the pattern coming through.
Also does anyone know if I will have to use a dye remover before trying to darken it again or should I just keep adding dye to it? I'd post a picture but I have no form of camera at the moment.
thank you.

>>7591
Keep adding dye.

How do you think a charcoal wool vest would take to being dyed a deeper black?
I've heard wool is a bitch to do with standard dyes.

Theres anon anon in another thread who was interested in making a chiton. Where you at bro?

>>7593
You need a big ass pot of water, wool dyes, vinegar and time
Basically you throw the vest in with the dye and vinegar, heat the whole thing to almost boil, stir gently every now and then and keep at it until all the dye has been absorbed.

>>7563
Why scan it. Just let people buy it.

I have had this hoodie for few years now. I love the fit and it's really comfy but there is this autistic picture of a skull on the back.

>>7605
acetone/iso-alcohol - rub it with a cotton pad on the edges so you can peel it off.

>>7599
Singer and Pfaff are decent companies. I use an 1507WC from Singer. It does the job.

>>7606
Thanks, will try.

Made a cardholder from white suede, hand stitched the thing. Stitching is shite because I didn't use a leather punch and instead punched holes with a thumb tack.

nah it's good

W2c old, mildly ripped up clothing so I can patch it and stuff? I can only find $100+ options online that are tagged as "Distressed" which isn't super what I'm looking for

I would like to create a big ass back patch for this jacket I am working on. I want it to be a tall rectangle and basically cover almost all of the back. Canvas or cotton would be cool, I don't want the 3d effect of embroidery, and the design is extremely minimal. Does anyone know how I would go about this? I was thinking of getting it printed on a T shirt and then cutting it but honestly I think it is too big for that. Is there any website where I could just print it on a stretch of cotton fabric? Pic related, this is just about the size I would like the patch to be, but its definitely not going to be as corny as this one or on a vest.

>>7613
thrift shop obviously

>>7614
Some places will print anything on any fabric that you bring in as long as it's in a .svg, but maybe you don't have those where you live.

Idk about online services, seems like sending fabric over mail then getting it back with something printed on would be a pain in the ass tho

>>7598
damn thats a cool ass shirt

>>7452
w2c DAE patch?

>>7447
Hey, I made that jacket! @phidenim

How could I achieve this? More specifically the ribbon-like parts in the middle

>>7620
Find strips of fabric of the desired length and twice the required width, fold in half, stitch shut, iron flat, stitch to shirt, repeat

Are there books like Otoko No Koto No Hon but in English?

>>7622
You could look at the "Customers who bought this item also bought" section on amazon

I fucked up this old pair of jeans with a pair of scissors

Good or should I burn them and pretend it never happened

>>7624
When will they learn.
Use sandpaper and a thread picker to roughen up the edges

>>7625
I don't have any of those things

All I have that's remotely similar is a metal file on a leatherman

>>7634
I make a stencil with freezer paper, iron it onto the shirt, and spray bleach onto the stencil. For the Bad Books one it was 4 layers to get the different shades. Here's a single layer one

>Peel off the stencil and wait a sec for the bleach to take effect. This is variable on your design, more time= lighter color.
>Carefully line up the next stencil and do the same thing. Since you have the two lightest colors cut out, the first layer will now be lighter and the second will be the initial spray's color.

That's pretty much it, it takes a little tweaking to make it look clean, but after a few attempts you'll start to develop your own technique.

>>7640
>>7639
If someone could include that in the pastebin that'd be great

Bump. Also does anyone know how a coffee or tea dye would work on a white shirt

>>7642
Check the pastebin

Made another card holder lads. Saddle stitching leather is a bitch.

Just got my hands on some tyvek envelopes guys what do

I was thinking that I could grab this shirt and dye it whatever colour I want and keep a good check pattern. They're sold out of my size but any opinions? Best dye? They might restock.

It's not supposed to turn black, you're supposed to see the camo pattern, otherwise its just another black parka

nice work anon

Sup /diy/, first time here. I've bought these white shoes and the seller hid the fact that they were yellowed to shit, as in pic.

I fear that trying to restore the white will be a costly disaster, so I'm considering customizing them. I have no patchwork/stitching/fabric experience, but I am a pretty good illustrator. I would just draw on em, but I feel it would look cheap/crummy. Any opinions/inspo for shoe customizing? They're canvas.

>>7673
let me guess, used shitty bucket method instead of washing mashine

>>7678
just throw them in bleach, then in the washing machine.

>>7676
the imported ones are yellow you god damn fucking retard

they turn that color when they get fucking dirty

well do you have a fucking better idea you mongoloid? do you really think that trying to dye your soles is a fucking good idea?

yeah tried art acrylic paint and it came off in the rain :)

Need something high key and waterproof.

>>7699
That's why i think int/ext paint, the kind you would use to paint a house, would work.
I know house paint cracks and flakes on jeans once dry if it's built up enough, so maybe it would do the same on canvas shoes.

I am doing it with doc martens which are a shiny leather.

bump

>>7697
won't the shoes be stiff as hell?

>>7703
at first probably, but so would the margielas be i think

>>7660
I got that pic but the shirt doesn't look that oversized cause I was wearing it on top of a hoodie.
I also put a black sabbath patch on the left shoulder

Shrinking some 501 CT's right now in a pot of boiling water, will post some pics when finished.

>>7705
what the fuck

>>7706
Isn't it better to wear them, sit in a warm tub and dry them in the sun while wearing them?

>>7476
dude honestly, if you don't wanna look like a total tryhard virgin you gotta get a "cool" shirt, cut that shit up and sew it on the back

>>7708
I don't know if these are shrink to fit so I'm not sure. But also my bath tub drain is clogged and I have no desire to fuck with that right now.

>>7457
how many parkas do you own?

this would only be cool if it's an a larger rotation.

wearing it as your daily jacket is pretty try hard. (same with any unique piece)

Does anyone know some sites with good patches?

I like it

>>7694
Sounds dope maybe you could put them a bit on top of each other, not make it clean boring row

>>7699
I painted some vans red with 2 layer of acrylic paint. I have been wearing them for 2 weeks and the paint cracked a bit but only the 2 layer so you can't see the original colour.
(This picture was taken after 2 weeks of almost daily wear) sorry for broken English, only trying to contribute.

>>7709
dump some inspo, I ain't got no (band) shirts that I'd sacrifice for that purpose atm.

>>7718
maybe you should get some shoes in the colour you want to paint them? So if the paint cracks, the colour of the shoe still matches.

>>7720
Yeah you can do this. I painted my vans because I really wanted some red vans and I had bought some ugly tiedye vans for really cheap. I also think it's pretty cool that you can see the other color under the paint.

Is there a way to replace this safety pin with a standard post pin? I find this too fragile and loose.

>>7722
The posts are usually glued on, so just find a shitty one you won't feel bad abound ruining and take the back off it.

5 minute epoxy it to the back and you're golden.

>>7691
Or save them. It's still fabric. Maybe for a denim parka.

Update on the skirt backpack:
I did this

>>7725
And this (obviously gonna put a shorter lace as soon as I buy one)

Bump

If you'd bothered to scroll up farther you'd look less stupid.

Any dyeing guides?
I hate the fades on my jeans, want to get them dark blue / indigo/almost black.

possible?
