Ive sewn a couple tee shirts. I like them and had fun doing it. Tgink i might make a couple more in the near future

>>8215522
I'm into cosplay and leather.

>>8215631
from pattern? face many problems? hand/machine sewed?

>>8215522
I've done basic tailoring, but have considered moving on to bigger projects. I have patterns lined up, I just need the materials.
If all goes well I may consider selling them, but I'm not sure if there's really a market for hand-made, custom tailored clothes anymore.

bump

ye like take those manicure scissors and thrash the nike logo off some hoodie, now it looks better and super basic, perfect for techwear layering etc

made some sweat shorts out of womens sweatpants the other day.

recommend taking a sewing class if you get the chance

this isn't super diy but I completely ruined this jacket yesterday. All of the patches were sewn on. I also finished some jogging pants and I bought some jersey knitt so im going to try to make something from that.

The green jacket is military surplus in case anyone was curious.

swans is equally awful to brand new and pop punk so its not that out of place

>>8215522
I make clothes for a hobby. I design the pattern, choose nice fabric and go for it.

Haven't done much in the last few weeks. Last piece was a rain poncho for my gf. pic related

where do you get patterns from and how did you learn how to actually make clothes? im considering copping a sewing machine and start out with some tees for myself, maybe hem muh jawns etc but id like to make myself a jacket or something one day

>Made few shorts from old pants
>dyed shirts

I make my own jeans, some t-shirts and getting into making dress shirts, i get my patterns from this book called: Patternmaking for fashion design by Helen Joseph armstrong, and i download some books from the internet and just draw the patterns. Drawing patterns is more fun than actually making clothes to me.

>>8215522
Pls, i need a bigger version of this, is for a t-shirt :(

>>8218921
Here

>>8216715
The whole idea was to get some practice sewing and making patches. I wore it to a show and people liked it but I completely understand if you don't like it.

Does anyone do dip dyeing, was thinkong of dip dyeing my baseball cap and need some help.

I planned on making my own trousers to my own measurements. High end with finished seams, split back, curtained waistband but never finished it. Got the pattern made and made a test pants without any pockets and stuff out of muslin. Fit great but I decided I would be better off losing weight first before I commit to a bunch of patterns.

>>8215649
>hand-sewing a t-shirt
Fuck anything about that

Really want to get into screenprinting/making graphic tees, but I have no clue where/how to start

>>8219100
Start with youtube

I got a transparent polyamide raincoat.
I want to dye it black.
I'm gonna go with a dye for synthetic material.
Will it lose it's transparent qualities?

I plan on fixing up this Denim/vest hoodie combo I bought for like 20 bucks. I'm changing the cord strings, putting on new buttons, and I'm going to use a fine sandpaper to rub some of the edges to give it a worn in distressed look.

Any clue where I can get vintage no-sew brass buttons?

>>8216797

Fabric stores have patterns and shit. If you don't know where to start many of them offer classes. It's pretty simple though.

>>8216790
Nice!

>>8216709
i don't like any of the bands on here besides swans. and i've always hated that stupid defend pop punk shit. this vest is pretty damn mediocre tbqh, there's nothing going on it's boring and very underwhelming. try a broader selection of genres, don't sew using a sewing machine: sew by hand. put some sort of stud, or pattern, or space filler. get more interesting graphic patches to spread the focus point so it's not just on the back. and try to stick to a set color scheme until you're more experienced.

pic related my old and ugly vest. i'll talk about my other better diy stuff if anyone cares. : )

>>8215522
I've got a rare opportunity to learn for free, so I'm going to start

How do I go about making full shirt graphic tees like the ones you see on very cool shirtz?

>>8219151
The defend pop punk patch was just to be funny but thanks for the advice I'll definitely take that into cosideration if I do it again.

>>8219319

You design it any way you want and then it's printed of a dye sublimated printed on to jersey and then it's cut and sewn.

>>8219151
lel now this is just cliche

i love these julius pants but i dont really have 500 to blow on second hand pants

how hard would it be to put zips like this into some pants that i puck up from a thrift (and modify them accordingly)?

>>8216348
how do you deal with the marks from the stiching or any other potential problems? i've tried getting rid of logos before but you can always tell that something used to be there

>>8219432
zippers are pretty easy if you know what you're doing. just make sure you sew them while the zipper is closed so they work correctly.

Best way to distress a denim vest? What areas look best distressed?

>>8219465
niggas on 4chan thinking they can find zipperless julius carogs at valu village does that sound like someone who knows what hes doing?

>>8216709

>>8219474
b-but i can find a suitcase filled with $20 bills a-at the goodwill and not other people's trash they throw at the goodwill doors and write off of their taxes?!

no way a 2-bit white rapper would lie to me!

>>8219490
thank you for your input trunks : ^ ))

>>8219490
Nothing to do with punk, or asking permission. I was asking for the best way to go about doing it. Quit shitposting.

It has been 16 hours since I laid the last drop of fabric paint on a pair of shoes I was splatter painting. The paint is still not dry.

They have a space heater blowing heat on them too. How the hell long does this take?

>>8219558

>heat

>>8218921
Holy shit that's fucking badass

I think I'll make a huge patch out of that and put it on this varsity jacket...

Should I have a go at it?

>>8219983

both logo and jacket

>>8219983
Iirc you can purchase the patches on etsy. Someone here did it way better than you did as well.

>>8220039
ew, I'd never wear a leather jacket (don't jump on my ass, it's just me)

I'll have to find a varsity jacket that suits it a little better

Do you have a link to the etsy shop?

also, do any Japanese speakers know what it says?

This one was just a practice run. The real paint job is gonna go on my vans once I get the chance.

I wish I used better shoes, I really like the way these turned out.

The shoes are $20 walmart shoes. Totally and utterly unimpressive.

Fortunatley they were an ugly pair to begin with. What size are you dude? 5?

>>8220112
Those are tens. My feet are not the largest.

They were fugly before, but if I had that paint job on a pair of CP Achilles highs I'd be very happy with it.

>>8220095
>>8220100
>>8220104
u jizz on these dude?

>>8220121
Yes.

>>8220121
The white is from me beating off. Eventually I had been beating off for so long that I broke blood vessels. With each ejaculation, it became less white and more red.

A great guess, really.

>>8216709
too much shit going on that dont work well together.

>>8219983


>>8220039
this.

>>8220095
>>8220100
Shitty paint job. Would ruin any good shoe. Take some inspiration from MMM paint splatter GATs

>>8220170
I think when I do it for real I'll keep it up on the toebox like on the MMM GATs.

That was the plan originally, but I lost control hahaha.

>>8219404

>i put the patch on there to be funny

if you put a cut up madonna or cindi lauper shirt on your jacket, THAT would be funny.

If you put some other genres slogan on your jacket with no indication that it's a joke, especially if that jackets brand new looking, everyone's going to think you're one of those faggots.

There's got to be context.

>>8220049

it's something from Evangelion.

old giant robot/mindfuckery anime.

it's good but it's also "babby's first mindfuck" so it gets a lot of shit as you could probably guess.

I'd reccomend watching it before you go wearing it around. If the old series is too dated for you to get through they've rebooted the series into 4 movies, three are out sofar. next is out in 2015.

Id reccomend the show tho. the movies are nice but it's cooler after you watch the show.

bought this varsity jacket for 10 bucks any ideas?

Hey, I bought some patches recently and I just wanted to ask what sort of clothes patches work best on?
I have a light denim jacket I was thinking of using because I don't think a sleeveless like yours would suit me very well at all. Any advice?

Thanks!

Sew a gold scorpion on the back

Any good beginner sewing machine recs? Looking for something one the cheaper side just for side projects and so I can hem things myself.

im not letting this die

>>8223133
Thank you bruv

Back again

Are there any good websites for free patterns?

Does anyone have any leather dyeing experience? I have a pair of Bape 08 foot soldiers in an awful colourway that I want to dye solid black. The issue being that they're glossy patent leather - making them hardly leather at all.

what I'm thinking is that I give them a run down with sandpaper, being very attentive to the amount of wear, and then apply dye, hoping the laminate layer is worn away enough to hold dye. I'd like advice, but I'm probably going to try it anyways unless someone comes up with a much better idea or has some good insight.

>>8224073
You'd be better off taking them to a cobbler. He'll tell you what's up.

I recommend getting a rundown from him, then buy the product from him (or the one he recommends online) and doing it yourself. This is DIY, so don't pay him to do it.

>>8224073
You can use nail polish remover to remove the laminate, then dye with leather dye

Cool. I remember seeing it on the floor of one of your fitpics? You're lunar anon eh.

Do I need a special machine to produce this stitch look?

inside.

>>8224564
this is the outside of the stitching and this is the look i want to replicate.

thanks.

>>8224569
>>8224564
thats called overlock, and yes you need a special machine for that

>>8224406
>>8224412
>>8224420
those seams are fucking wonky

>>8224607
tfw
yeah im really not very good at this yet and its the first thing I've made completely from scratch so yeah wonky ass seams

what was the tie off technique on this one? really good

>>8228402

Thanks!

Fold shirt like an accordion vertically, then roll up from one side so that you have a circle. Rubber band it so that it stays a circle then dip each side in a bit of bleach.

I think I left it in the bleach to long and did to much to it. Would try again but barely leave in bleach for like a couple seconds. This can also be done with a different result if you fold it horizontally first.

>>8228268
>>8228286
>>8228304
How did you dye without fucking up the graphics?

>>8228445

Honestly just went for it and didn't do anything to them. All these shirts came from a thrift store so wasn't to worried that they'd get messed up.

>>8228445
They're probably screen printed

I only tailor my clothing.
Apparently I have a girl ass so trousers always fit awkwardly, but other than that I'm not interested in DIYing anything.

i want to make a cap like this.

Does anyone know what kind of fabric this is? or how i should start this?

I know i need a baseball cap but do you know what's an effective way to start this? n___n

Alright, so I did not know the bad sides of repainting shoes with acrylic paint. Now, how do I get rid of all the acrylic quickly? Can I put some magical mixture with water and just throw them in there? What do I do?

I just wanna get rid of the acrylic and bleach them, then go from there.

>>8232751
It's a pair of Converse All Stars if that matters.

>>8232751
You need a good solvent. I'm know that Tamiya-brand acrylic model paints are often thinned with isopryl alcohol. You may want to try that. I'm not sure what effect the alcohol would have on the sole so you might want to be careful around that.

>>8232881
Forgot to bump this.

I started practicing a while ago and got into patternmaking too. Pic related is what I'm working on at the moment, I bought a coverstitch machine recently so I'm waiting for that to arrive so I can hem it. Still not amazing but I'm happy with my progress

>>8232751
w-what are the bad sides of doing this?

>>8233513

>>8233519
i dont really get how its a bad side

looks really good imo

>>8219432
im thinking about throwing some zippers on my ILU Ralph pants. Might do some other diy to them also. Hadn't given it much thought.

>>8228314
tell me how did you do that?

My aunt taught how to sew, and ive actually made the jacket I'm using right now(shit pic because i'm in class)

>>8233577
it must feel good wearing something you did yourself, im planning to learn how to sew, hopefully ill now this feel one day

>>8233546

It's just diluted bleach.

>>8228235
Day late, but I didn't realize this thread was still up, so I apologize.
Most of the patterns I have come from books in my local library. There's a catalog of 17th-18th century dresses that I've been looking at, mostly. But they do stock more contemporary patterns, as well.
Pic related is similar to what I have planned. I just pulled an 18th century pattern off of google images-- also a decent way to find random patterns if you're just experimenting.

>>8235043
Forgot pic

>>8233577
can you do clothes with only one kind of machine?

i´m tailoring some jeans right now and its a one chain Liberty machine

it seems that modern clothes have the overlock and i dont have money to buy that machine

>>8235043
do i need to print them in a plotter or any kind of printer works?

>>8235253
You shouldn't need to use a plotter if:
-you're just starting out/experimenting
-your prints already have adequate information to complete the project

Pic related is a page in my collection. It's just an example of what your pages should look like. Often, if it's a common pattern, or if it's been through previous owners, it will be easier to do or include more in-depth/easier-to-understand instructions.
I have pre-owned pattern sheets that have notes on them from their previous owners, and I find those to be the most helpful, as they often include materials they used, corrections, alternate sizing, etc.

>>8235419
maybe i should make doll-sized clothes to experiment and print them on regular size paper sheets

>>8235432
Smart idea. I would also suggest making them out of cheap materials, as well. Thrift store, cheap off-shelf linens, etc.
Just make sure that when you scale it down not to make your projects too small. It can be hard to piece together and you may have to tailor the construction a bit to the point where it would no longer be an accurate representation of the actual, to-scale model.

>>8235441
yeah, in mexico is easy to get cheap fabric

thnx m8

Thinking about bleaching these Vans white. Do you think it's a good idea? Anyone have any tips?

>>8236483
D'oh

so, i just took some sweats that were too big for me and sewn the back end of the waist band so they can fit my waist, and cut the string in two. Basically i just made drop crotches. But I need to know are the legs typically tight instead of loose?

>>8236503
Sorry for the bad pick, and thats toothpaste on the mirror

>>8232978
Where have you been learning patternmaking?

I alter all my shirts by hand because i'm pretty broad chested but have no waist.

i've also sewn some t shirts

>>8236592
Not anyone who has posted thus far, but i took a pattern making class at my college (which has a fashion design program).

But if you pick up a patterndrafting textbook, and read it you could probably do okay

Going to pic related w/my second hand dress I made into tank

>>8236522
I have no idea what the fuck i am supposed to look at

I lost the final pics of my new creation, but I will post when I get home

Basically I made a short sleeve sweatshirt and cropped the neck, and the arms section

>>8237108

Paint em instead! Bleaching is tricky, will get a diff result on the two patches, and will smell like bleach even after washing. Painting them with several coats of white acrylic will look cool, esp. when they crack.

>>8224564
>>8224569
You need a serger for that.

>>8239095
Like those Margiela Converses? I don't really like the idea of painting over my shoes. I feel like the texture would be icky and paint chips would get all over the place.

What if I just dunk them in bleach? Wouldn't that get a uniform color?

>>8228047
