Finished the brown t shirt. Have to wash it and iron it. Bought a yellow and a brown yarn in preparation of a sweater.

How complicated is it to make a tee/hoodie from scratch? Recently picked up a sewing machine and I want to try it out but I have literally never used a machine in my life
Cameron Hill
It's really not difficult, but if you're new to sewing you might want to try something with woven fabric first, since knits can be a bitch to work with if you don't know what you're doing.
Sebastian Collins
Bought that parka liner meme but it didn't fit like I wanted so I just cut it to be a vest and added some buttons. In b4 han solo
Bentley Morgan
Good job. You even got the texture right.
Joshua Thompson
rate me gats fah
Ryder Cook
looks good but ur a meme
Ian Price
Oh shit one year already? I shold know, I posted them The collage is a great idea, but unfortunatly I don't have the time, I gotta work for my exams Can another user do it?
Hunter Gray
But... parka liners are supposed to be worn with parka shells
Carter Thompson
It was really annoying to wear under my jackets. The shoulders were a little too tight and the elastic cuff was hindering my range of movement. I get a lot more use out of it now that I can wear it more comfortably
Austin Garcia
ruined
Lucas Peterson
kek
Noah Flores
I could make a selection first. It's the least I can do.
Elijah Nelson
Hidee ho' neighboreenos
Xavier Sanchez
Nice doodle, but where is your sewing project?
Hunter Jones
yeah if you make a selection and post it as an album on imgur I could make the collage let drawautist draw, it's unrelated but it's cool
Cameron Clark
I like u but drop the name
Jonathan Ward
I’m back at it again, boys
Nathan Cox
I got this 60's adidas jacket, and I strive to reanimate it. It has got a few paint stains which are about 20 years old. The zip and the velcros are broken but are replaceable. The cuff has a large paint stain, and I'm thinking about getting both cuffs covered in reflective paint.
But I have no clue what to do with the small paint stains that are all over the jacket. Because It's unlikely that I'll be able to remove them even with gasoline.
What could I do? Also, I'm open to suggestions
thanks Veeky Forums
Ryder Myers
looks clean
here have my wet unidentifiable black object (quilted paper vest)
Jeremiah Martin
Quilted paper? Is it wearable? Can you post a fitpic?
Cooper Long
yes, with fabric backing not yet, it needs a zipper so it can be put on see above
James Morales
That is the most avant-garde thing I have ever seen
Jaxon Allen
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I want to see more from him, regardless.
Kayden Rodriguez
even more avant guarde than the flesh shorts?
Zachary Nguyen
Is there any way to color white leather sneakers into this slightly off white / cream color?
Daniel Butler
Dunk them in a bucket of fruit tea
Matthew King
Fuck you I actually googled this
Lincoln Young
Tomorrow I'll post a picture of the pair of underwear.
Samuel Flores
looking forward to this
Cooper Harris
lol it's not nice to make fun of people
Zachary Carter
www4.zippyshare.com/v/dWWW4PnW/file.html >79 images I attempted to make a selection. Projects like patches, dyeing and simple alterations I excluded. Wasn't sure to include Christian Nassif, because he made his own threads. To everybody: if there is anything I forgot and you think should be included, say it!
Asher Hernandez
My Dickies 874's are starting to flare out at the bottom due to cuffing & look kinda bad..should I cut them near the ankle or is that basic?
Ethan Ramirez
back with tasty fresh fitpics
Sebastian Brown
do whatever the fuck you want dude
William Lopez
doesn't look very good in all honesty it looks like kid decided to make armor out of cardboard
Zachary Bennett
looks like Shit
Lucas Mitchell
I imagined it a lot bulkier, like a harness. Here you go.
Isaac Miller
LOL what the FUCK are you wearing holy shit w omg I can't even stop laughing right now
Lincoln Williams
It's made of paper I don't know why y'all were expecting it to not look like it was made of paper
Christopher Long
I'm just saying it doesn't look good all things considered, paper or not, it's not very good look
James King
What was the inspiration/idea behind the vest?
Mason Moore
I wanted to see if I could make something out of paper that wouldn't rip into pieces immediately
Kayden Murphy
Somebody once told me
Brandon Rogers
That looks fucking dope! If you bought it online pls link. I would just leave it and wear it as is but if you want to customize it I guess you could go full meme and do a kind of Margiela/off-white paint splatter effect.
Cooper Harris
I support this idea, considering we're the sole positive thread on this board/It's the only reason I keep checking here.
Nolan Walker
Shrek-core
Gavin Torres
I really don't I stopped posting pics here entirely because I don't really appreciate the shit I make popping up in the opening post of next thread
Benjamin Wilson
Just tell me and I won't include it then -OP
Charles Robinson
Have you ever mentioned this problem you have before?
William Torres
Does anyone have a pattern for a pair of pants like this? With or without the knot is fine.
Connor Rodriguez
I hate how my phone camera screws with the colors, but it'd be too much work to use my DSLR to take these pics. I just picked up some tie fabric earlier today.
Brandon Hughes
nah I just stopped posting I think I'm good, while these threads are nice and I follow them, I don't really like how the 'format' and the increasing circlejerkiness of them and I don't wanna sound discouraging to anyone just not my thing anymore I don't think
Owen Brooks
Why didn't/don't you speak up?
David Moore
How difficult would it be to print this (half page or page size) for the back of a denim jacket?
Juan Hill
whoops, image only obv
Charles Gomez
Put this together a bit ago. Some elastic on the sling bag for a narrow water bottle. Fits perfect and holds really well!
Jacob Jones
Make a pattern on your own, look at some existing ones then modify them
Ur pic shouldn’t be too hard to get right, considering the loose fit
Logan Garcia
Is this spacejew
Aaron Green
I don't see how we're circlejerky?
I made the coin pendant last thread (The one in the header image) and I got a lot of comments in response to the finished product that were critical of it.
If it were truly circlejerky, I would've gotten nothing but fellating comments, nor would we be mocking something for looking like it's from Shrek/a low-budget ren faire.
Luis Reyes
I am Jewish but lunarcore is for Zionists.
Josiah Williams
Yeah it's hard to keep the niceness of the first threads without becoming a circkejerk, I know what you mean Goodbye, you'll always be welcome in these threads
Grayson Evans
Whoa I got it from my granddad, he won it in a chess tournament a few decades ago. That’s a real nice idea you have. Thanks a lot friend
Aaron Howard
What paint did you use?
Xavier Young
Currently waxing my Black german army parka to give it a texture closer to something like julius' gasmask cargo jacket.
Thomas Ortiz
Not sure I may also paint something on the back before I wax it.
Levi Hughes
Bump
Isaiah Rivera
what am i supposed to do with all this fruit tea asshole?
Robert Martin
what software can i use to make real world patterns? i have 0 experience, is there any easy one? efi optitex or marvelous designer maybe?
Christopher Reed
That's fuckin gay lmao
Andrew Evans
Idk but just a heads up, these kinds of softwares are usually p expensive and almost impossible to crack
Logan Cox
Since you got a link to the Japanese magazines, here's another from another thread. pastebin.com/cPsW7xue
how do i make a polo shorter in lenght without looking like i cut it with a knife
Thomas Young
bring it to a tailor
Hudson Martin
styleCAD is basically what you're looking for but it can cost like 15K for a license key
Luke Evans
cut it staright across, serge the edge, press it, then top stitch.
Kevin Moore
I was thinking about transforming this into a kimono jacket, what do you guys think and what do you recommend ?
Jacob Russell
This is one of my inspo
Brody Cruz
i have nos experience but i'd imagine removing the collar in a way that was comfortable and aesthetically pleasant would be pretty difficult. its also a nice jacket to begin with.
perhaps try customizing it rather than fully transforming it if you get me
Xavier Scott
You would have a hard time. A kimono collar wraps all the way around the neck to the bottom of the actual jacket, creating a sort bomber jacket effect at the neck. A regular western jacket with a collar does not do this, instead opting for an O-neck with two 90 degree angles met at the first button (and obviously a collar on top). You could do it if you really wanted to, but I think you think it's just a matter of cutting one seam while it's a whole series of additions. I hope you decide to do it though because I'd love to see the result.
Bentley Thomas
Yes, i thought about adding a black or brown line like the blue one on the picture and removing the buttons but not much more. It has an already an "chinese/japanese shape"
Connor Sanders
Good point man I think i should cut half of the collar and add the stripe. my kung-fu kimono helps me :)
Joseph Morris
bamp
Jack Carter
co ty narobiles polaku?
Wyatt Gonzalez
p difficult don't you want to paint it on instead?
Austin Miller
anyone got some trouser repair/patch inspo?
John Jenkins
2 super simple DIY.
made a stencil for the jacket and tailored and added ribbon strip to the pants
Benjamin Gray
might find some cargo pockets from a pair of black pants and do something like pic related
Hunter Nelson
as a friend, dont ever wear this outside
John Perry
practical diy I can dig
Dominic Morales
uiuc?
Angel Myers
yup, im a sophmore studying aerospace
Connor Hernandez
Signed up to an 8 week sewing class at the community college for the new year.
Wish me luck.
Charles Edwards
holy shit, another /DIY/er m80 i made the maroon cargobomber and the flannel track stripe jacket. I wonder if I've seen you around
Justin Phillips
Do you like my kitschy bullshit?
I hate how cut-in sleeves look on a mannequin. It's a pain in the ass because it's harder to get an accurate representation to sell it.
Benjamin Gutierrez
ohh dang your stuff is sweet. I wish there was some kind of diy fashion group on campus. I really want to get into screen printing and heavy alterations/making things from scratch
Christopher Parker
There's tfn but it's mostly girls and they don't really make stuff. I occasionally go to the art and design building to make stuff with one of my friends but im a business student so i can't go in alone. I'm sure you could find me on ig if you tried.
James Ramirez
I'll check that club out. looking at pictures tho it doesn't look that interesting. seems like they are more about modeling
Carter Evans
Yeah it is, i modeled a little for them a while back, but it's more about finding people with a shared interest in fashion, some of which want to make things.
