Anyone know some tricks on how acid wash a shirt well? Also any way to make creeper esque shoes?

>>8145703

Sewing this onto the back of my denim jacket when it comes back from the tailors.

I just got the sewing machine two days ago so I'm still working on making my own stuff

I have an idea for a diy, its more of a modification though. I like the look of roshes but i hate the inch of sole. how would a pair look if I shaved that heel to a normal sole size

>>8147447
they would still look like crap. roshes have a shitty toe box and the lace bar/panelling looks pants on head

>>8147447
Would work but I have no idea how you'd get traction on shit

Umm, I'm currently waiting on a bolt of blackvelvet to make a velvet tee, I'm a guy and I've legit never seen another guy do this but I know it would work so well with my look, so thought I'd be a bit fashion forward and do somethin new. What do you guys think? What kind of tee work? I usually wear scoops to show off collar bones and neck, I'm thinking a baggy scoop with rough hems.

>>8147462
>velvet
>tee
you better have an overlocker dude

would just make a standard crew neck tee if I was you. also, go buy some $2/m jersey to practice first.

Where do I start making clothing? I see knoch making so much stuff with seemingly no effort. What do I need and how do I just make something from scratch with no experience?

>>8147496
>with seemingly no effort
i can guarantee that is not the case

>>8147496

>no effort

nigga he has done like SHITloads and TONS and TONS of research over many years into clothing to be able to do what he does now

>>8147503
source?

>>8147533
the fact that he has been in the game for this long making shit is enough of a source.

>>8147538
but has he ever recommended any literature or something? I really have no idea how to wrap my head around all that stuff

>>8147546
there is this neat invention called the internet, it has loads of information on just about every subject you can imagine

>>8147496
>>8147546

>>8147546
go get a super basic sewing book for starters. perhaps a menswear one too because most beginners ones might be aimed for at dresses/ skirts otherwise

A lot of sewing is using patterns too. you can buy these anywhere (ebay, thrift stores, sewing shops). You cut your fabric to the shapes and then sew it together. easy as fuck. as you get better you start to modify the patterns to how you like them and what you think would look cool.

Start basic and get a t-shirt pattern and some jersey and have a crack maybe.

the Pattern Magic books are meant to be amazing too. my exgf had 3 of them and highly recommended them.

>>8147332
fucking lel

I want to convert a pair of black jeans into shorts. Where should I make the cut? Image taken from Google.

>>8147710
How high do you want them and are you going to hem them?

>>8147566
pattern magic series is really advanced shit not for beginners at all

>>8147716
I don't want to go much higher than the knee. I've never hemmed anything before, but I could learn.

>>8147737
Well if you want them to fray up then just straight cut them where you want em at.
If you're going to hem them (it's super easy just watch a youtube video on it) then cut about 3/4 to 1 inch below where you want them.
Imo if you're going to fray them cut them half a inch down from the top of your knee and two inches above the knee if you're going to hem them

>>8147737
cut them at the knee if you want them above.
they always end up shorter than you want

>>8147431
that is aweeesome wats ur tumblr m9

>>8145739
well they are called scab jeans so.

>>8147332
Good luck with that, Billy Kane

>>8147719
yeah i kno. i just added it as something he should look into.

How do I make my own kicks man
Like where the hell do people get soles from

>>8148482
lmao lol

made this from scratch yesterday tho. kinda was going for one of those large neckband 70s style knit shirts, except with fleece material

Where the hell do you guys get materials?
Local stores or internet?
Any recommendations on where to get them?

>>8148523
that is some nice material. where'd you cop?
pix of you wearing plz

>>8148531
Spotlight lmao, its just one of the most basic ass fabric spots in australia

>>8148523
nice carpet shirt faggot

>>8148534
yeah man I'm well versed in spotlight/ lincraft/ etc.
how much was it per m? I might check my local and cop a couple m worth. You're inspiring me to actually make something for once

>>8148539
cheers :) what've you done in the last few days?

>>8148542
If I recall correctly it was around 13 per metre? cheers :)

working in some shorts for this summer, will post outcome after im done

>>8147788
thanks, swipb.tumblr.com

>>8147710
Don't make them too long. If they're nearly at the knee then you look autistic

>>8145726
The patch to back ratio is off. If you're gonna try and pull off a back patch/butt flap, than you gotta be bigger. Nobody ever understands this, and they end up always looking stupid--stupid in a bad way.

>>8147496
he finished them and some other pants today

pretty dope sandninja

>>8149886
Oh man those are dope. Loving the layered detailing.

>>8145737
I like it.

Would this look good on a backpack?

>>8145737
+1/fa/

I have an old pair of H&M black skinny jeans. I love them, but they're starting to go white in some areas. Give me ideas to add life to them.
>Recolor them
>wax them
>make them skinnier (I wish they were skinnier)
>make them skinnier via the bathtub
>make them skinnier via sewing
>cut them up into a million pieces and use them to make scab jeans
>cut another pair into a million pieces and put the scraps onto these
>use bleach or smth and make a design. (not sure if I could pull this one off)

If you guys have other ideas, I want to hear them.

Also, how do I tighten up skinny jeans in the bathtub?

Spray-painted my old white sneakers. Now I want to spill coffee on the laces to make them look dirtier. I think if I just buy black laces it will look too simple.

>>8149960
Those might look good splatter painted.

>>8149955
Idea.

What if I distressed them? Are ripped jeans fah?

>>8149969
Only if they rip naturally.
Thrift a couple pairs of black jeans in different washes, cut them up, and patch the shit out of them.
'Errybody loves scab jeans.

>>8149886
fucking A

>>8149976
Cool I'll definitely give it a go

Should I try different thread colors and different stitch patterns? I was thinking black thread, white thread, gray thread, and maybe a few patches stitched with red thread but I looked at this photo and they don't look all that good.

I think I'd ditch the super light gray scraps. I like the look of the red stitching but there's too much going on. The pants are too busy. You know what I mean?

>>8147426
awesome.

>>8149991
Personally, I think going with all black stitching is best. The patches will already draw attention, don't need to make it stand out even more with contrast stitching.
Some people like it though. Use whatever appeals to you..

>>8150000
nice trips

Do you have any pics of jeans like you're describing?

And what do you wear with scab jeans anyway?

>>8149991
Meant to post this photo

>>8147426
tfw you cant pull this off

>>8150071

go for it man u wont know until u try

>>8150059
fuck, i just bought the undercover scabs but this is making we wish i'd made my own. oh well

>>8149960
what kind of spray paint did you use??

>>8145703

>>8148986

>>8150176

>would cop if I could afford

>>8150531

I bought them retail when they came out, winter 09!

>>8150644
Aww shit, thanks man.

Painting a pair of hitop corduroy chucks, what kind of paint should I use? And what color would be nice?

>>8150523

>>8145737
Where did you cop the patch? I tried to find one a few months ago to no avail.

>/fa/ is all punk

Seriously are you all 16?

How does spray paint look on a normal cotton hoodie?
Somebody gave me one with a peace sign on the back but I think it looks lame. Was thinking of spray painting an X over it

>>8145737
rly dope bag

>>8152794
what are you talking about? all punk? you should also not forget that you are in the diy fashion thread so i think punk content or influences are only logical

>>8152794

>>8145703

Fking retarded

Q for making scan jeans
Do I sew the patches of cut up jeans onto a nice fitting pair of jeans or do I sew the patches together to turn them into jeanz from stratch (second option sounds hard as fuck)

>>8147422
>>8147426
shit bruh i wanna make something like this. did you use a pattern or something?

pls help

Can I spray paint a backpack?
Will it look like shit? When it rains will the dye fall off?

>>8153690
Just use fabric dye, the paint will crack and make a mess. It'll leave a dandruff trail of flakes.

So, I had to buy some cheap shoes for floorball with mates - ended up just getting these, by a brand that is hilariously determined to shamelessly copy known mainstream designs.
I am actually kind of satisfied with them, the NB aesthetic works nicely for a ripoff.
I'd like to make them acceptable for normal wearing, which would obviously mean somehow making the gross grey parts around the ankle black. Preferably something that would make the logo hard to see, if not completely invisible as well.
What would be the best way of doing this? Just putting some tape on the black parts and spraying the grey ones?
Any advice is highly appreciated, thanks.

>>8153925
Oh and as you can see, I've already tried with shoe polish, which looked nice but just fades quickly.
Don't laugh at me, ye?

>>8149960
lel don't use spray!

>>8147372
awesome

>>8153683

>bruh

i dont wanna help u cuz ur a fagget

half joking aside the pattern is not complicated at all it's just rectangles for sleeves rectangles for front / back and a long strip for the edge rest should be easy to figure out

Closets anyone?

Decided to rig up some shelving and a rack.

Hi
I have a black backpack, if i put some bleach in a bucket, and put the backpack in it, will it be good ?
I want a "White" back pack

>>8153925
Bump.

>>8154050
your clothes look sick. inspiration to bin all of my coloured clothing

>>8145737
w2c swans patch

>>8153925
Bump.
pls

>>8154084
If you bleach it enough to turn it from black to white, it will end up so fragile that you can literally crumble it in your hands.

>>8153615
I admire (and am envious of) your prolific output, but do you make anything besides homoerotic pants?

>>8153521
goodwill. it was an XXL or some shit, even bigger than it is now

>>8155346
Do you do anything but shitpost?

If i were to do pic related
good water : bleach ratio?
spray bottle set more to jet or mist?

Does anyone have any experience dyeing or colouring rubber soles?

>>8155334
So how to make it white ?
I want the bleach effect you know

>>8156356
It'll go orange not white. You won't be able to make it "white"

>>8156365
Ok then advise me if you know how to make it "White"

>>8156414
Start with a white shirt, use colored dye

>>8156418
Why a White Shirt
I want my black backpack white

>>8156414
either start w/ it white, or paint it maybe idk. you won't be able to change the colour of the fibres to white now so you would have to put something onto it. idk why you would want to ruin a black backpack tho, just keep it mang and buy a white one. two backpacks is a good thing.

>>8156483
Ok
Have you some idea Of cream/White back pack ?

Was thinking of making a patch of a warning sign of marbloro or some cigarette pack, just the plain white letters in the black background no image. It'd probably be the one that talks about lung cancer (as opposed to pic related).

Is this a good idea y/n too edgy maybe? I smoke btw.

>>8156600
really edgy, but if it's subtle and one of many patches it could turn out alright.

>>8156600
edgy but p cool

>>8147710
G-star? disgusting.

How to make my black back pack into this colour ?

>>8156711
ffs m8 you won't make it that

>>8153234

fit of tee is shit though.

>>8153925

Not sure if trolling or just a 'tard.

>>8145734
tutorials for both on youtube, acid shirt would need bleach and creepers can be made by gluing flip flop soles on your shoes

>>8145966
no theyre rainserenades

>>8154691
Whose work is this?

>>8157573
same person

>>8157686
no theyre luigirussolos

>>8150059
IMO the scabs are too sequential-looking. You want to make it seem like you wore the jeans in naturally then patched them up. I think some slightly chaotic(but well crafted out chaos) patching system would be better

>>8154050
/fa/ shoes
/fa/ clothes
/fa/ colour scheme

You should probably spend less time here dude

>>8145737
Love the idea, but AA backpacks are shit. That's going to fall apart in a year or two if you use it with any regularity.

>>8147431
looks good, wish you would snapchat more of your cool diy stuff tho dude

Are there any guides on how to make these or does anyone know or am I shit outta luck?

>>8158185
The pocket
Sorry forgot to specify

This thread makes me sad, I'm a Fashion Design student and was gifted with many (and I mean it) rolls of fabric, but none of them fit my looks/personality.

I also have this bizarre creative block where I can design things for other people but not for myself. Weird shit.

>>8158189
it doesn't look that hard. Its just a bunch of squares. If you really are paranoid about fucking it up just sew it all on a base and then put it on the jacket.

Don't wear tight shirts if you have bitch hips.

>>8158474
like it the way it is
gj anon

>>8158078
will next time bb

>>8158536
This. A thousand times this.

I'm a heroin chic faggot who can't into tight shirts due to the child-bearing hips god chose for me. Whenever I wear tight stuff (or with adjusted waistline) people think I'm a really butch lesbian.

>>8147710
what shoes are those?

>>8158635
how tall are you

>>8158639

They say "G-Star" on the tongue in yellow.

>>8158658
Not very tall, but due to shiggydiggy genetics I look 16, so it works.
Picture a faggy heroin chic boy that obviously does drugs and hangs out with older gentlemen (that's how people usually describe me, I'm actually married and clean).

>>8147375

What brand of water are you drinking?

>>8147546
Knoch answered my queries on how to get started some time ago, posting for anyone interested:


>Yo! I started sewing stuff when I was like 16 I think. I just asked my mother once how to properly use a sewing machine and then just taught myself. The first thing I made were some pants for a medieval festival me and a few friends where going to. They told me on such short notice that I had to make it in about 4 hours the night before from some old linen scraps. No prior experience. After that I didn’t actually make anything until about 3 years ago. I just never cared enough, so it’s rather weird that I do nothing but sewing at the moment. No formal education for anything related. I hate reading books(on creative things) or learning from or through others so it’s mostly just autodidactism. I always just do and make things. I almost never draw anything beforehand or make sketches. Unless I have to show something to somebody else who’s working with me or interested. It’s just a lot of thinking about how things work. Instead of reading up on anything, I just looked at existing things and tried to understand how they’re made and just copied them. I think the best way to get something going is to learn the basics of sewing, how everything works, how fabric reacts, getting a feel for the medium. Then I’d research how things are made etc. Just get some old fabric and start sewing. Try to put pieces together cleanly, test out different types of seams, learn the workflow that suits you best. Then it’ll be really a lot easier to translate what you have in mind into something tangible. Thanks for the compliment btw! cheers

Ask the dude, he's really nice and responds to pretty much every question in short delay.

what kind of sewing machine should I buy?

i have navy blue canvas sneakers that i want to turn white

what's the best way of going about doing this?

>>8158793
you've got two options

buy a pair of white sneakers
or paint them white

your other option of bleaching them will just leave them orange and weird

>>8158815

what kind of paint am i looking for? spray paint? fabric paint?

>>8158825
idk bc I've never painted anything because i know it'll look tacky. DIY colour changes works best (p much only work) when you're going to a darker shade. It'll be cheaper and just look generally nicer if you buy white sneakers and keep the navy ones as beaters/ sell them on ebay.

>>8158781
A simple Singer without too many features.
New is better (unless you plan on going hardcore and upgrading after a while) but used is okay too.

If you buy used, don't do it over the internet. Something as stupid as dust/lint on the inside parts is enough to make the machine not work properly, and it's gonna cost you to get it cleaned out. Just open the little window (where the bobin goes) remove everything you can with your bare hands (no unscrewing anything) and look inside. If you see lint, bad sign.

>>8158839
Blue to white is almost impossible unless you want to literally take the canvas apart from the rubber/foam/whatever areas.
Buy a white one.

>>8158673
i need to see a pic of you

>>8149960
u a skinhead?

>>8147332
is anti-edge the new edge?

gonna make a canvas messenger bag :))
