I always liked the way layering t-shirts looks because fabric rests against fabric much better than it does against skin.

It looks like a potatoe now, but that's just because, so far I've only sewn the two backs and two fronts together. I've yet to put the sleeves on, but they are just single layer.

I plan on hemming it, but twisting the outer layer a bit to give it an interesting texture, with a constant ripple effect.

It says my pictures contain embedded files and won't let me post.

Picture very unrelated

i didn't do a good job, i was trying to black out the letter on this shirt using spray paint, but you can still see the letters when under the sun

I will do mare shapes on other shirts, like squares, circles, triangles, etc.

I mean either one will work, you can make things sturdier with a sewing machine, but if you don't know what you're doing it could be just as flimsy. they both work good, if you need added strength use the sewing machine

>>8337387
I think it'll probably look good either way, i'd like to see the whole shirt though!

>>8337393
hmm, you might need to, but it really depends on what material and how tightly nit your sweater is. if you have a loose nit one that's like hand knit it;ll probably fall apart wether or not you hem it. but if it's really tight you won't need to at all! post pix plz

w/e bro, just giving my opinion.

>>8337410
>>8337422
oh, yeah, i'd hem that as soon as possible, that could unravel really easily! i would recommend sewing it with a special needle for knit things. I personally don't think it looks that great would have been better as a sweater.

>>8337406
Idk, i don't think the fabric is thin enough, and it doesn't really drape the way. I think it's a bit too tight, nice try though!

So I have this basic H&M tee liking around, very ordinary, just a grey one with a crewneck. The neck is really odd fitting in comparison to the rest of the t-shirt. The neck fits a bit too tight while the T-shirt itself has a bit of an oversized fit. I was thinking of just cutting the crewneck over very ruggidly, like just with a pair of scissors. Too edgy or good idea?

That's dope as fuck. Do want.

[Anonymous No.8342711]

That's converse x MMM and you most likely wont get the same effect.

If u want solid paint, use go to arts store and ask for water-based paint for fabric, I have previously used Idea Stoffa and on different cotton fabrics and it worked well.

If you want paint peeling off effect like Margiela did, well, there was this white paint (it's meant for walls) that's used as a base layer for other colors that name I cannot remember, but it will most likely look bad.

[Anonymous No.8342741]

>>8342690
Also paint all the gum elements like the older version had, it looked better.

[Anonymous No.8342753]

>>8342741
Also afterwards I used varnish on shoes. It's meant for oil paintings tho, but since my mom is a painter, I had it at home so why not. Suprisingly, it really incresed durability of white paint and they are getting 10 times less dirty while it doesnt decrese breathability. Highly recommended.

Posted this in fuccboi general but this is DIY-related too so:

I have a month-old chocolate stain on the stomach-area of a white T (pic) that's now light brown (stain, not tee). It's barely noticeable up close but from afar it's the first thing you see. Think I managed to set it in deep by not being careful with it.
Will bleaching help?
If done right, could it be painted over? It's less than an inch in diameter.
Or maybe stitch something on it that won't look too off?

Any help appreciated.
