I hated how much money those dudes who made the USB light up shoes made so I decided that I want to make my own better ones
Ethan Ross
Is English your first language?
Asher Wilson
A better question is, how did you make it?
Michael Gray
>rick glowens
Lucas Fisher
how do I create the si "fallout colour" like pic related in fabric?
Tyler Bailey
You dont, Stone Island employs various metals and other resources to mix with their fabrics, thus giving it the unique look. Acid washing would work for the effect but I dont know how you would achieve that color without the specific fabric.
Aiden Evans
Getting the corners right is difficult.
Brandon Wilson
I'm going to wash the stroke of patchwork in cold water with a color catcher to see if there's any color deplacement and if the plastic ring doesn't get loose.
Noah Hughes
might try acid wash flectarn. What stops the acid from damaging the structural integrity of the fabric?
Asher Phillips
how do I bleach/paint fabrics like sterling ruby?
Mason Martinez
...
Jaxon Russell
this hazmat yellow is gorgeous
Dominic Diaz
Let the bleach drip from the brush. Splash it with a brush. Use a spray bottle. Use an elastic band to hold some fabric together and spill some bleach on it.
Isaac Allen
jackson pollock my man :)
Luke Moore
I doubt you can, to achieve his level you can even be an artist yourself
Jack Lee
LEDs, fiber optics, and hot glue Lol
Caleb Hill
Hi, owner of the pastebin here.
I'm looking for a better site to host my files. At the moment I use zippyshare, but I don't want to update the links every month and it isn't neatly arranged. I used MEGA, but my account got deleted. Should I try MEGA again or something else?
Charles King
Should we create DIY magazine or something?
Benjamin Myers
Waxing the fabric might do it. The dusty appearance will come with wear
John Allen
It would be cool. I know /co/ had their own comics magizine, called Premier comics I believe. You need to how to how to digitize patterns, how to work with InDesign and how to write a text in correct English. More importantly, you need enough people that create enough content. I think at the moment there aren't enough people that make OC.
Benjamin Ward
what about google drive?
William Sullivan
This.
I was posting links before, trying to help curate the pastebin, but I've run out of stuff to post, and I've got nothing new to post that's actually clothing related, and I don't think people want me to spam inspo shit.
Jaxon Lopez
>how to work with InDesign I know for a fact that at least 2 people here are /gd/ fags, so that's cool I still think we need to be more to do a magazine
Nathan Cox
I know it's not great quality, but it's my first time with embroidery. It's a heart I put on the sleeve of a white denim shirt.
Joseph Lopez
Is there a good guide to screen printing words onto a sweatshirt?
David Martin
I'll try MEGA again. Let's see how long it stays up Https://mega.nz/#F!X0kDWQIT!PJv7VB4MM9JXJV6cFYvuWA
Perhaps you could make something?
To be more? You mean more people or offering other things besides tutorials, like editorials, recommendations (/mu/) and interviews?
Have you checked the pastebin?
Christian Ward
doesn't look like a heart but it's pretty in an abstract way
Tyler Diaz
I have been making stuff, just not stuff that's specifically clothing-related. (Hyrule shield prop)
Robert Collins
>tfw I wanna contribute to this idea of a mag but I've never into DIY b4 nor am spectacular at graphic design.
Carter Adams
OP here There was barely any real content in the last thread, don't you think it is a little pretentious to try and do a magazine this soon? How about we just stick to making shit for a while before telling other people how to make shit?
Juan Reyes
You are right. I never said otherwise. At the moment there aren't enough people that make OC.
I'll upload some pics of my sweater project tomorrow.
Levi Thompson
Bleach in a spray bottle could work
Christian Wright
Thinking of getting some Caravaggio on a pale denim jacket I have. Should I do it?
Henry Reed
jus finished with this vest. thoughts?
Gavin Smith
view from the front. should i add pockets or smthg
David Walker
I like the back 100x more than the front, also the logo is no good. Too precious and cute and forced, and you're meming off of something too un/fa/.
The parts about it that I like I really like though. The use of what looks to be distressed milsurp fabric and the patchwork is sick. Not sure about the white strip and dangly stringy bits at the bottom but I don't totally hate it.
John Allen
OP here. i jus thought the front do the most in complementing this? the shade isnt any darker tho its edited. if it has appeal i might wanna mass produce n sell it. idk
Bentley Hughes
Hell yeah
Zachary Young
fucking do it I want this so bad
great work user
Blake Garcia
I managed to get the edges straight. It's difficult, because it's precision work. 3 millimeters off and it looks bad. Going to practice some more with triangles, trapezoids and circles.
I also found a green letterbox without a key.
Easton Torres
too many ideas going off here the pathwork milsurp fabric is enough. The velcro straps are a nice touch too.
