/DIY/ General

Spent the evening uncaging some ultra boosts that I acquired for cheap. Considering painting the soles black and swapping the laces. Does this sound like a reasonable idea? pic related

Does anyone know how Rick does these double layer t-shirts? Love the effect.

its all in how its cut and sewed and material used

How do I properly dye a flecktarn parka Veeky Forums? (Pic relevant) Dylon/Rit? Machine/bucket? How much?

That's not a double layer.

Ok it took $30 of dye... But what dye lol?

Black it seems

And constantly look back at your pin.

Sounds like a reasonable idea
>uncaging
What do you mean?
What colour will the laces be?
Use masking tape.

yea man he just double layers them and then does an intertwining asymmetrical seam that enables the fabric to give the effect. should be able to do it with any uniqlo tee or an equivalent, if ur going for uniqlo id choose the supima cotton instead of dry packaged cause its closer to the material owen uses

>>uncaging
You take out the plastic that goes outside that mesh (the three stripes). You do it if you will just using for walking or if you are into the bare foot running meme.

Drix would be too close to Rad X from Fallout. I might do a Daytripper inspired one tho.

Yeah, just cutting the thread that holds the three plastic stripes attached to the knit, and the slicing the plastic along the edge of the boost. user is right, I did it just to make the shoes more low profile and put the focus on the knit. The hardest part thus far has been the lacing because it basically has to be woven into the knit of the shoe.

I think they look pretty Veeky Forums as they are minus that fucked up work of the devil lacing pham

Exactly. The yeezy lace route looks pretty nice imo

Pretty nice indeed

>tfw you live in satans asscrack

I've heard rits is shit,I would use straight up india ink
I'm thinking you could get a pretty cool patina, because it's more permenant than most inks but it's not quite a dye

Rit's shit unless you're doing tie-dye and singing shitty camp songs at summer camp.

Anyone else /knit/ here? Here's a picture of my second sweater which was a bit of an experiment but I think it turned out alright.

looks like it was cut on the bias (not following the grain of the fabric.) It also looks like it hasn't been hemmed either. I think it's just the one layer of fabric.

I think it's just a long tshirt that's been 'scrunched up' (for lack of a better word) at the bottom. At first I thought it was gathered slightly, but I reckon it's just hanging that way.

crochet masterrace

that's a very cool sweater btw

Thanks friend.

Is crocheting much different to knitting? Was considering learning that too because I think crocheted hats usually look better than knitted ones.

how long did that take?

About two months from when I started. However there were days where I didn't do any and other times when I did heaps in one day. I'd say an average of about 30 minutes a day over that time?

I've been tempted to knit some socks for when it gets cold in winter but the last three winters have been abnormally warm (There was a strong thunderstorm two days before Christmas last year.) so I'm going to hold off on it.

holy shit

2 a 3. With more layers the needle may break. Canvas? Use a bigger needle? Also, you don't sew on certain parts of the jacket, like the collar, in 1 go.
What kind of jacket would need 6 layers? What kind of unlined jacket? Do you have a pattern?

Im going to bleach some old Vans I have to make them really pale/white. Is spraying them with bleach all I need to do?

What color are the original vans? You may not get a white color. Make a solution containing about 1/3 bleach to 2/3rd water. Use a pair of gloves (bleach isn't bodylotion) and spray your shoes outside on a flat surface you can splash the solution on. Afterwards you can put them in the washing machine.

Thanks .They're mainly beige but have a bit of purple on them too. That's why I said pale, I don't expect the purple to go white

Haven't made patters yet as I'm on vacation, but I've planned out the basic idea
It'll probably be something in between an m44 and knoch's trademark bomber, albiet grossly simplified
The band around the waist (similar to pic related) may need some layering, and i've been thinking about using a different material altogether

have you ever made clothing before? because otherwise you're in for disappointment

Man that's sick. 10/10 would wear it
