>You don't have to necessarily order a t-shirt with a print of a plant. You can buy one at the thrift shop or look for one in your moms wardrobe. The dude also orders iron-on adhesive, but you can also lockstitch or blind hem that large patch by hand or machine. Optionally, you can dye the parka first.

This is a draft of a pasta. If you have a suggestion or some useful information, please share it.

It would be a good addition to list sources of sewing patterns for men
Collette Patterns and Thread Theory Design are the only two I can think of that have decent/good patterns, tho.

Thanks, I'll add it. Should I include mags, like Burda, Cut, La Maison Victor?
>>11682369
I don't know about the other two, but Burda's male patterns all seem to be terrible stuff. (At least what is available here in the States.).

I bleached some shorts so they are now tie dye pink.
Distressed some air force one highs.

Can you post pictures?
Should I just dye the dots black or should I dye the jeans black entirely. DIY'd these jeans and saw that they came out pretty bad.
Can take better pictures when I have

Might knock off these coat hooks today using scrap wood..

Dye them entirely.

The shoes look odd?

The collar doesn't look good. You cut through the logo!
>>11683333
Differing shades of black on the jeans? As in, the dots one shade, patches another, etc..
I want to put this on white tee. If I use iron-on adhesive will the white from around the bikers stand out too much from the white of the t-shirt? There's no way I can cut off all the white from inside the wheels/ between the arms and the bikes etc. but I don't want it to look like a silly cut out.
>>11683396
Of course I'm gonna use a transparent image, but will the adhesive itself (with no paint) color the shirt white?
>>11683394
I should have asked first why you didn't like them.
>>11683396
I do not know. Is it expensive? You could trial and error.
>>11683430
Do they look bad though?
>>11683450
The pants on themselves have a symmetry. I don't find them bad. That depends more on what you wear next to it. FE Does the sweater fit with the pants?
>>11683461
I thought the extra colors (green and orange) kind of limit what can be worn with them. Appreciate the feedback though.
>>11683509
I see it as a springboard to various color combinations. You could also make a sweater/shirt with the same symmetry/colors.
