did you make those illustrations? good job on the layout. i don't know if you can ask a bunch of schoolboys who think women should wear long flowy dresses about their fanny pack preference. also, hipsters aren't hip anymore, it's just another name for middle aged men.

Well, take a look around you, school boys have at least a little buying power. It's just one demographic I hope to consider in the coming semester. Which of course means I'm a school boy (and I think long flowy dresses are great).

Funny comment on hipsters, I'm only fooling around when I say that though. And yeah, I did make those illustrations thank you for the compliment. (Please just give me some answers though, I am interested in what you all think)

Thank again for the response, and for the reference. I've not heard about ll-porter before, after taking a look they are too structured for my personal liking, but it depends on my feedback. So far Masterpiece Japan has been my main inspiration.

As for the bulky buckles, I've looked into many options including pic related (though I don't know where to buy them). Mostly I'm trying to determine what kind of form people prefer (masculine vs. feminine, busy, vs. clean) all kinds of feedback are welcome.

i like the sleeve lengths
looks like you need to fix the lengths for your bodices
looks like your side seams match, do your patterns curve at the hem towards center front/back?

[Anonymous No.12782781]

>>12781958
What do you mean with heavier garments?
>>12782566
Length of the bodice? Yes, the patterns curve a bit.
What do you think of the neckline and the lettuce? That's more important to me.

[intern !!gcSycT7bcc4 No.12782794]

>>12782781
the neckline is a bit wavy, try to stay on your seam allowance as best as possible
ironing the seam down towards the hem would help it too
the lettuce on the sleeves is minimal, and a bit more noticeable on the orange hem than the blue
try using fusing on the hem to add a little structure--should prevent any lettuce

your shoulder seam and armhole cap have a bit of a bulge
i've notice these on my tees and hoodies i've sewn and can be solved by reducing your stitch width and/or ironing your seams towards center front


the curve of your hems give an awkward appearance
maybe add some length to the center front and center back

i personally square out my hems

[intern !!gcSycT7bcc4 No.12782799]

couple shots from the small collection we shot recently

notice the bit of bulge around the neckline due to not pressing the seam down well
in development, we found that using a 4 needle overlock created to thick of a seam that we could not press out well

it's a learning process my guy
you truly do get better the more you do it
if only i had pictures of the first t-shirt i sewed when i was in school-- missed a quarter of the neckline when attaching the rib, sewed on sleeve inside out, wasn't able to control the machine when sewing down the arm to the body and ended up having to make a crop top
practicing is really important
trial and error was my method, and it's been a very costly one for my friends and i this past year

[intern !!gcSycT7bcc4 No.12782823]

exposed serged hems is one motif we used throughout the collection for texture
silk is a bit tough to send through the machine without major manipulation, and so on this sleeve you can see a few problems--mostly puckering and the edge beginning to curl on itself

I like how the trousers fit, the straight yet slightly tapered leg is a great silhouette.
Unfortunately, I'm back at school so I don't have any projects in the works yet, soonest I'll be able to start again would be December when I'm on break. Just trying to sort out ideas and hopefully ill have materials to order to my home by November. Need to redo the collar on my bomber jacket, as I didn't make it tall enough last time. I did pick up some tassel loafers for cheap but they're a little small, thinking about cutting the tongues at the sides and making an overtongue piece, like a penny loafer has.

but it depends on the weave? the thread is likely twisted cotton/nylon... cotton will bleach more easily so you'll probably end up with a lighter, more orange jacket. even if it takes evenly you're probably still gonna have the camo pattern

Other than that there's classes for: basic sewing, basic pattern cutting, dressmaking & alterations. general dressmaking and a bunch of other shit. They're around £100ish. But I have no idea about the reputation of these classes and whether they're good or not.

For illustrations: figure out what you want to learn how to draw and then draw it a lot. Don't just copy other illustrations, try to draw from life or at least photo references. Don't focus on developing an "art style" right away, it will develop naturally as you get better.

Youtube is a goldmine for sewing tutorials. Maybe take one session of a class just to learn how to use a sewing machine and how to make something from a commercial pattern, but you really don't need more than that.

With YouTube there's no contact and feedback between the 'teacher' and the 'student'. Sewing classes are not only a source of learning, but also a way to socialize and create a routine in your week, a place where you can relax. On the other hand, the quality depends on the people organizing and attending these classes. It can be awkward sitting amidst grandmothers. 100 quid a month can be expensive. Go to a class and see how it goes. If you like it, maybe stay.

I agree, I would rather have guidance and encouragement and physical support IMO. But as I mentioned my biggest problem is their quality, my area isn't exactly the greatest so I'm concerned. Also I believe it's one time £100ish and it'd run weekly i believe. At least I'd hope so since the illustration one i missed was 50 for 5 weeks.

i got a Singer 1025 sewing machine from my mom a few years ago and started using it with no sewing background at all to alter my clothes real simply. I've been doing that for a 2 years now but more recently I've gotten into complete garment construction and even accessory construction like bags made of vinyl and denim or canvas. My machine broke down a few times over the years and getting it repaired is $75 so I decieded it'd be a better investment to buy a new better one. I don't know much but I've narrowed my search to

>Singer 4411
>Singer 4423
>Singer 44S Classic

I don't really wanna spend more than $200 and I'd like to be able to return the machine easily if it can't handle the kind of work I want to put it through so those are all available at walmart. any advice?

It's not really hard, it's more of just remembering to press all the seams. There's also a lot of hand-basting too.

Hand baste (lightly sew them on to keep them in place) your patches with a colorful thread and go over them with the desired color with a sewing machine if you have access to one. They will never come off if you do it this way.

If you plan on using a sewing machine and you want to add some studs do that after all the patches are on, it will me much easier.

Don't ever put your vest in the washing machine, hand wash it or spray it with a mixture of vodka and water to kill the concert smell. But most of all, have patience while you make it and don't rush it.

It's not that in-depth but it's a nice quick little overview of what characteristics you can expect knits to have from their fibre content so I thought it might be of interest to some people here.

Why not just buy one in a solid color

I've spilled bleach on mine when I was in before, it turns this orange-ish color that bleach will do to some fabrics and the pattern faintly stays

i've got a pair of memeboots, and I'm contemplating cutting out the gusset on the tongue in order to slim the profile. The problem is that I actually use the boots to do boot-y shit, do you guys think the form vs function trade off is worth it?

[Anonymous No.12816530]

>>12814466
an anorak or smock you could figure out without much an issue, and is doable in one shot if you're clever. something like a tank top you would make without even using a pattern, a t-shirt would probably be a little harder, and a BDU shirt or jacket would require you make all of the above beforehand just to fimiliarze yourself with a machine. what I would do is start by making a bunch of hats cause they don't eat up too much fabric, are good practice and quickly show results so you don't get frustrated and give up.

those sleeves are awesome
thread to match is the only criticism i have
what do your seams look like? we were developing a paneled underarm as a nod to lang but did not like how the seams sat, and we didn't like the bulk of adding a self lining to cover the seams within the bottom quarter of the sleeve


>>12814466
if the fabric knit or woven? if knit- a t shirt is a good place to start and you can probably buy a pattern from a local Joann's type store, from the internet, or follow a tutorial to make one by tracing a shirt you own
if woven, a button down is a pretty tough first project to tackle

>>12816519
i'm personally of the school of thought that form should follow function, so if it compromises your use, I would advise you to avoid it
you could buy a cheaper pair if possible and test it

[Anonymous No.12816603]

>>12816591
>thread to match is the only criticism i have
I wanted to use the same thread throughout the sleeve and felt grey is probably the way to go seeing there was blue/tie-dye/black/dark grey panels but I can see where you are coming from, I despise any sorta contrast stitching in general.
>what do your seams look like?
On the panels?
I can take some pics and upload tomorrow if that helps, my vocabulary in english about the specific seams, techniques and machines is lacking to say the least so I really only have pictures to offer unfortunately.

>>12816603
that's fine, we're all learning
i think from our experiences, a coverstitch reduced seam bulk the best for a paneled seam, but our original construction direction was to sew bias strips on all seams
for us, it was a production nightmare that got killed very early in development

[Anonymous No.12816635]

>>12816629
Googling coverstitch, that's what I used as well
Wish we had 2-thread flatlock machine, I love the way it looks

[intern !!gcSycT7bcc4 No.12816655]

>>12816635
flatlocks can be done with a regular overlock
it's a matter of fabric positioning, avoiding the knife, and having loose tension with a widened stitch length

flatlocks are a cool stitch, mostly seen in women's athleticwear

i would recommend you research helmut lang's construction
endyma is a good reference for that

taper something that's not a full circle, like a sleeve. Taper a jacket that falls straight, but is to be worn inside out as well.

What happens to shapes when they go inside out?

[Anonymous No.12818851]

>>12818843
I know that you can taper it in the normal way. i was wondering if there is some way to do it that wouldn't fuck it up.

[execrator of florid prose No.12818855]

>>12818851
Zippers or veclro strips would be needed. you taper it, and then take the side and cut the short slits that will let it fall flat again. These can be closed to taste on either side.

[Anonymous No.12818860]

>>12818855
thats such a bummer. i was hoping there was some other way that wouldn't alter it too much. thanks for the help anyways. might just sell it to some fat guy

You seem like a cool dude that experiments a lot. I like your use of Boro patching on the pants, you seem very adept at it.. Though I have to agree with other anons that it looks a bit too fleshy. This is primarily due to the colour of the fabric though. Same goes for the top in >>12811683, which looks well made, but seems a bit too close to a skin tone to be flattering.

All in all, you seem to be talented, but you also scare me a little.

For the most part, I'm just interested in treating the leather different ways to create textures ie. shiny, wrinkly, cracked etc. I have some ideas how to approach it but I kinda feel like my approach might be pretty primitive.

Should you always wash your fabrics before you cut and sew them?
Maybe this is belongs on /cgl/, but this is a website selling usable historic patterns.

>>12822255
yes, you should always wash fabrics before unless the fabric is dry clean only
i've lost somewhere between a quarter and a half a yard of fabric because it was greige/pfd

what you're doing by washing before hand is preventing the finished garment from shrinking

made a belt close to that of the 1k tutorial
used 1.5" webbing and hardware and found that it's a bit too bulky to go through my personal belt loops, and even tougher for the pants from our line

i ordered 2 yards of the webbing and felt as if it was excessive, but after constructing it and having to burn the cut end (which altered the shape enough to make it difficult for the hardware), i think it best to manipulate the folded and sewn edge length rather than cut

i tried the strapped d ring at the male buckle and didn't like the way in which tightening the belt worked out
moved the strapped d ring to the end of the belt and found it too bulky, and just left the ring without the extra strap at the end

the lack of usefulness of the d rings definitely is not making it on a 2nd sample
