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.

[Do you need typed out guides on how to make tshirts, shorts etc.?]

Toasting in first bread.

Anyone ever tried dying nylon and other synthetics?

I have a bomber that is a color that I really hate and was wondering if I could dye it like I did with my parka.
>>
This is cool as hell
>>
>>12079512
as long as your dye is appropriate for the fiber, it'll work
just follow the instructions and maybe look up tips
some dyes require different additives/catalysts to work well

big ups on those pattern sites

Hey I recently got into sewing and I've been trying to make a noragi. I was thinking like a lightwash denim one would be cool, but I need to it be the same thickness as normal Levi's denim jackets, however when I checked at my nearest Fabricland, the only denim they had was shitty thin chambray-lookin ass fabric. Where can I buy real denim for cheap?

Anybody think this would look cool on a shirt? Think I might get one printed

>>12080111
I think it'll look fine, but obviously a higher res image would be better

>>12080092
It's pretty straightforward, I'm sure there are plenty of guides online- though def make sure you have a super solid machine before sewing denim, as mine almost broke when I tried to taper. I elected just to do it by hand even though it took forever.

Gonna be doing a dip dye on a t shirt first, then a sweater.

Thinking of doing like this
-powdered dye
-Hot water
-big bucket width= shirt width

Im trying to do a ombre/gradient/fade so:

First dip 4/6 way up, shake in dye for 5 min
2nd dip 3/6 way up shake in dye for 5 min
3rd dip 2/6 way up, sharke in dye for 5 min
4th -//-
5th -//-

should create a nice gradient right? Thoguhts?

Yeah, but that one's more ridiculous, considering those "beads" are literally brass plumbing fittings you can buy at Lowes for super cheap.

(The SLP one, for reference.)

transfer sheet are probably the easiest way. Transfer them to some canvas and then stitch it to whatever you like.

>>12081303
It was a simple paper stencil 'pinned down' with fly screen. I then painted over it using simple white wall paint and a paint roller. So all in all, it was a very primitive silk screen.

The fabric is screen printed at the factory if you're willing to dig deep enough you might be able to buys some

lol, you could probably make that for less than a dollar with a shoelace.
>>
>>12084727
Can you point me to somewhere? What type of screen printing is it e.g. DTG, sublimation, vinyl etc. Also, imo the ink looks water-based, does that look the same to you or might it be another ink?

Thanks for the reply btw
