How do you do minimal custom jean jackets?
Does anyone have any inspo on this?
Do you have anything OP?
Halfway done with my Cheech Wizard tshirt. I just need to sew on the stars and close the sides.
I have some electrical wires with red insulation and I decided to make a belt from it.
Here's a link with some books: http://dropcanvas.com/3l480
The link expires in three days sadly.
We need a FAQ, where we give answers to the basic questions. This interests me, but where should I start? Which sewing machine should I buy? What fabric should I use?
>>11430283
thanks for the link to those pdfs :)
>>11430283
yeah, the picture I posted is original content
>>11430232
I have one that I made/am making, let me get some pictures up
the patch kills it imo
>>11430360
>>11430368
What are you going to do with it? Add more patches? Dye it?
>>11430429
one back patch and maybe some studs, it'll be dome by friday as it's philly still fucking shreds this weekend
>>11430542
Shouldn't be too hard to finish.
Tyvek anon here
Ids habbenin
The hat has happened
The first cloth prototype is actual shit: it has no liner, the needle on the machine needed replacing, the fabric was 3 bucks a yard, and it was the first time i've used a sewing machine since art 1 in high school
>>11430847
Looks good man, practice those topstitch lines/curves a bit more on some spare fabric so they don't loook as uneven on the finished hat.
>>11430368
is that supposed to be denim
>>11430192
managed to rip the knee of my jeans
torn between leaving it and patching it
anyone got any patching inspo?
>>11431024
at one point but now it's mostly beer and various bodily fluids
currently im up to this scab pants. the pants is linen n patchworks is cotton. planning to take this on serious attempt on black denim soon
>>11431989
soz for the shitty cam
>>11431704
crust pants my man
>>11431704
>>11431989
the actual patchwork looks great but i think the line where it meets the top half looks off, i think it could look better if you had them offset so it makes a kind of stepped line, rather than just a straight one
maybe you could also do some patches higher up just on their own so its kinda like a fade from patches to regular pants
>>11432048
thats jus not my problem.. the crotch area look retarded when i tried it on as it appear bulky.. wat do
>>11430346
can i steal the idea from your op pic
>>11432106
probably because the patchwork is much tighter than the pants originally were
>>11430283
ayy broski the links dead, would u mind to upload it somewhere else?

What a mess.
>>11430847
why tyvek? why a hat
>>11430360
>>11430368
Thought this was a flak jacket before I saw the picture in full size.
i have a few trousers that id like to get hemmed. one is a pair of jil sander trousers that i'm too scared to do on my own, so i'll probably go into an actual place. but the rest are basics that i wouldn't mind practicing on.
can anyone recommend a small cheap sewing machine?
>>11433213
Have you tried google yet?
Pfaff or Singer
Can't find these anywhere so was thinking about making something similair. How difficult would this be to make with 0 experience?
>>11433283
Quite hard. Start with a t shirt or underwear to make yourself familiar with your machine and the sewing.
1/1
>>11432106
im almost positive it is becuz of the fit of the said. the pleats essentially.
>>11433283
i'm actually selling those pants

Bumping with progress
To earflap or not to earflap?
>>11435056
this is such an interesting idea
also where exactly do you get the tyvek envelopes? can you get them for free?
>>11435073
>>11435056
ear flaps may look pretty cool. pic unrelated but some inspo
>>11435073
Nah I used envelopes from office depot
Others use big mailing envelopes
Maybe if you raid a house being built you may find some scraps
Where can I find nice patches to go on a midwash jacket? Nothing edgy, subtle weeby is somewhat acceptable. I wanna get a shoulder patch like pic related.
>>11436072
Online shops
>>11435056
dont
>>11436112
Literally fuck off if you're not going to help.
Google comes up with fuck all and the patch general master post is fully of edgy shit.
>>11436072
try MokuyobiThreads on etsy maybe
etsy in general is a good place for patches
>>11436112
>>11436212
>>11436221
>those three last digits
https://warosu.org/fa/thread/S11219205 There's a pastebin in there with links to various sites with patches.

>MokuyobiThreads
Thanks
>>11436260
Hopefully it's updated, last ones I remember seeing were just recycled from last year with nothing new.
>>11431989
>>11431991
yeah this is awesome, might try some similar patchwork on some tote bags I'm planning on making just ordered like 4 metres of calico for it last night wew
>>11433283
with 0 experience you would probably fuck it up, which would be expensive as the materials wouldnt be cheap. start on a couple small projects, get a hang of it then try it. You'll need a pattern but if you get the hang of it you should be able to make it fairly soon
>>11434041
If only they were size 28's
>>11436296
i forgot to mention that hose are darts, (maybe pleats?) on either side but otherwise fairly straightforward
>>11433283
Pants sould be relatively simple, but prototype on cheap fabric first
making super over the top shorts.
I cant think of any text to put on the sides
>>11437414
how did you make this?
>>11437414
Put words in only one place
3 is too many
2 might pass if you don't put something stupid
>>11437443
bleach tie dye blue chino pants. the black lines are painted
>>11437414
song lyrics, memes
wear them around and try to make outfits with them as they are now, if having script actually complements things then it'll be easier to narrow things down from there
i wanna see a fit with these desu
>>11430192
dad?
>>11437507
>song lyrics, memes
that's retarded. it should be something with impact and selfawareness as signalling/branding, ie jenny holzer
>>11431989
look sweet
>>11430360
is it possible to bleach something all the way white? or will it always come out like that?
>>11438854
it's pretty much impossible from what i've heard.
>>11433332

>>11438854
you can but it won't last for long at all
added chain detail to these loafers.
I'm going to try to tailor a pair of pants to look like this. what leg opening do you think this is tapered to?
>>11440614
not a fan of loafers in general but it looks well done
>>11441044
neither am I but I picked them up for $25, clipped the old metal branding off with some bolt cutters and dug out an old wallet chain that resembles the bevel chain on the SLP Wyatt chain boots. Then I got some jewelry rings, put that shit on, and done, whole thing for under $30
>>11441044
what backpack is that
>>11441044
on a side note, where to cop tees like this, very large sleeves but still cropped in the length
thoughts on doing this?
http://imgur.com/a/0PFhe
also whats the best paint to do it?
>>11441647
Looks dope imo, people say angelus paint is best for shoes but do some research just in case
Writing on shitty old shoes
Y/N?
>>11441683
Would angelus paint be good for painting the yellow stitching on these docs black?
never altered my own clothes before
>>11441800
It'd be good but you'd need to thin the paint i think and also use a really fine brush unless you're making the stitching black as well
>>11441790
can look cool but most of the time it doesnt. If they are beater shoes and you dont care if they dont turn out how you want them to then its whatever
>>11442309
the black shoe with white writing probably best option.
>>11442309
Thought about writing on some old beat up grey vans
If it turns out okay I wanted to buy some black 10€ shoes from H&M and write on them
>>11441647
I did it. I couldnt really get the top part of the shoe but its not to bad. I just used thinned acrylic paint and did like 4 layers. I need to get longer laces but I think it turned out really well
felt like making this.
>>11443199
saved thanks
>>11441044
I'm going to do this but I am going to crop them instead of cuffing them. I am going to taper to a 7 maybe 6.5 inch leg opening
gonna be bleaching a couple denim jackets tomorrow, any advice? inb4 drink the bleach
>>11443915
dilute the bleach, dont put straight bleach on anything you dont want to ruin
>>11437414
"THE UNIVERSE IS BREATHING''
'CAN YOU FEEL IT?"
Bleached, tailored and distressed a pair of jeans
>>11440614
this is cool, any tips how to do this senpai.?
>>11443915
Drink the bleach :^]
Also Post some pics when its done i'm interested
any ideas on how to put fringe bottom on a hoodie like this? Ive never seen a hoodie like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-IncR9frUk
>>11444959
Find some fringed fabric or make your own and then make a strip that has a slightly longers length as the circumference of the bottom of the hoodie.
Flip the hoodie inside out and set up your sewing machine with cotton of the same colour as your hoodie. Pin the fringed material on the hoodie and then use the sewing machine to sew a single continuous stitch - stitching the fringed material to the hoodie.
Ta da
Spent today making this tote bag. Used some calico to make the actual bag and then hand embroidered and sewed on the little flower patch on the front.
First time ever using a sewing machine for a purpose other than hemming jeans so I'm pretty happy w the outcome!
>>11444076
I've read 1 cup bleach per 4 cups water, would you recommend anything different?
>>11444627
kek :^]
I'll post pics. If not in this thread and this dies out I'll start a new thread on Monday so be on the look out for it
>>11445315
cute
>>11443127
nice anon, are they the chuck twos?
>>11444577
The classic angle to try and disguise how fat you are
>>11443127
Sand the converse logo and the shit around the sides?
>>11445572
nah, sounds good. just be patient and let that shit soak it up for a good long time (2 hours)
>>11445315
cool
>>11445904
>>11445755
nah lol they are a pair of these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CONVERSE-CHUCK-TAYLOR-ALL-STAR-HI-142400F-BLACK-/131505557253
they are pretty much pre-chuck 2 minimalist shoes. they stopped producing them so you cant actually get them from converse.
>>11444577
please post a better photo
>>11444584
If you've got loafers with an embellishment like a buckle, metal band etc, cut it with a bolt cutter. Go to a craft store in the diy jewelry section, get metal rings. Get a stainless steel chain off the internet, then cut it down to size. Bend the metal rings open (they're pre cut) attach chain, attach to where old embellishments were, done.
Painted my Top Ten Hi's. Before left, after right.
>>11446305
I meant sand them down to give them the ramones look.

anyone know of a good tutorial / info image on fading jeans for palewave fits
>>11451323
get jeans soak them in water then put them in pretty diluted bleach and just let them sit there for awhile. make sure they are completely submerged jeans are completely submerged in the bleachso its even.
