I guess you take a bucket, put your clothes in hot water with the pieces of bark. After that, you wash the clothes with mud?


I'll upload some pictures of my sweater tomorrow/later, although I haven't made much progress.

WHERE DO I LEARN TO SEW?!?

i love thrifting awfull fitting jeans and tapering them by hand

>>12127382
post pics when youre done, this looks super cool

>>12127985
There's lots of sewing machine repair shops that teach classes. They'll start with simple projects, and you can learn more on how to do more intricate designs and practical techniques for clothing.

>>12127990
how 2 hand taper?

i should really post my first model alpenflage pants, there's half a century worth of repairs and modifications on them

>>12128553
Please do

>>12128482
Just follow a tutorial on youtube for a normal taper but do it by hand instead of with a machine. I do it with all of my pants and it is a pain in the ass.

where do you guys get all your materials from? I'm trying out my first project and I can't find anything to work with :(

>>12129361
Thrift stores
Craft stores

>>12129361
I get most of my raw fabrics from a local fabric shop. A good place for patterned materials would be thrift shops imo.

>>12129379
>>12129390
Don't materials have to be white or off white If I want to dye them for example?

downtown fabricstore

>>12129004
it definitly won't ruin the aestethic, but it might be kinda hard to do

>>12129409
depends on the color you want to achieve. The fabric should always have a brighter color than that one you want to get. So if you want to dye it blue for example, it doesn't matter if it's white or off white, it'll turn out blue. If the material is multicolored or mixed material, the colors will dye indipendently. Also some synthetic materials like velcro won't dye at all.

where can I get plain white items of clothing to work with? I've been looking for a plain white flannel for ages and I can't find anything.

>>12131154
search online dude

imo a good fix would just be to paint that white, but reebok brnading isnt even that bad and you should just leave it

here you go, from the top of my head the knees have been blown out and repaired a few times, a carabiner was attached to one of the belt loops at some point, the crotch was completely shredded so i covered it up with a huge single piece patch, IIRC it came off an old bundeswehr moleskin shirt : altogether these pants have probably seen some shit since the early 60s and it certainly shows, but i love them for how post-apoc and uniquely swiss they are (anyone who has ever dabbled in milsurp will feel me), the cut is pretty great and you can make all sorts of silhouettes with the snap adjustments, it's a real shame they haven't gotten off like flecktarn parkas or other fashionable surplus, though the material is kind of shitty honestly, hence all the patchwork.

also here's the ass end, i've just realized that the pictures are kind of blurry but whatever

does anyone here know if dying is the only way to alter the color of a shirt?

>>12132768
Not sure what you mean by that. As in, if you need fabric dyes specifically?
It depends on the material. Natural materials can be bleached, but that fucks fabric up.

Generally, you can also dye cotton (100%) items with "natural" colourants by boiling. ie: boiling in tea, onion peel, beets, etc. If you do this, don't machine-wash the clothes, since the colour will bleed.

>>12132815
I want to have the collar of a shirt be different to the rest of it.

>>12132837
Ok... Man, you really gotta learn to explain yourself and your plans if you want people to be able to help you.

Is this an existing shirt, or a shirt you're sewing from scratch? Do you have a specific colour in mind that you want to dye the collar to, or what? Easiest way is to just sew the collar out of a different fabric. You can dip-dye, but you'll get a bleeding effect into parts adjacent to the collar.

Lads? I have to pair of jeans, one I want to dye and other I want to bleach.
I know these are very basic questions but I've never done it before.

I want to achieve a very dark blue, indigo color to the point the jeans don't have any fading, is it possible? does it matter if I use two packs of dye vs one?

And how much bleach should I use in order to achieve a very light blue, almost white?

pants? shirt? cape?

I bought two sizes of Palladium black leather Baggies but missed the return date. They both fit me well, however. I'm planning on spray painting the soles of the one I was going to return white and replacing the laces with white ones, like I did to these Jack Purcells.

It would look more like the black ones, I'd have a pair of black leg wraps for black joggers and pants, and dark wash blue leg wraps for dark wash denim joggers and pants
It would give more layers and textures to the silhouette of the outfit, since you see tapered pants and joggers everywhere, this is a more experimental, and different take on a very old design.

>>12138628
MMMM i like that very much. What are you using specifically for the leg wraps?

>>12138659
the photo >>12138628 has a slight nap to it but i feel like for your application, a stretch twill would be a good fabric choice
the luxurious version of that would be a wool gabardine

I've been playing ALOT of BF1 lately and have been learning alot about WW1 and all the different weapons and clothing and armors, and what life was like for the avg footsoldier and pilot, and like I said I figured WW1 puttees wrapped around modern denim and joggers would be a very interesting experiment and would make for cool everyday fits especially since it's cold as fuck here in Canada so it can be easily paired with boots and a military jacket and cool layering.

They would work with thin fabric boots like paladiums, since you could just wrap the puttee's around the ankle covering the boot fabric, but actual combat boots would be a little harder but I imagine you could still do it, the easiest way to pull these off would be to use some sort of all black shoe like converse or an all black shoe you see in these ww1 pics

You could try sanding it off to see if it comes off, or getting a white paint marker and just painting it over, I did that to a pair of all white converse but the paint marker made it thick and slightly sticky, so I sanded it down and it smoothed it out and luckily it kept the white paint over the line

1) your pic related aren't puttee's, those are canvas leggings or canvas leg wraps

Its deeper than that. Pretty sure it was a deliberate move from the faculty. My dad is a notable member for the right-wing party, I kept this hidden for everyone but with the elections they found out. Had to sign a few agreements and all that.

Decided to give embroidery a shot, im really happy how this turned out, probably gonna keep developing and adding to this

Found some rowan brushed fleece in a local yarn shop reduced to almost nothing so I'm knitting a snood with it. It's so soft I just want to use it as a pillow but I'm regretting not using seed stich because it's so soft and poofy that I'm not getting much definition from stockinette stitch but I'm about 5 hours in so I can't turn back now.

>>12149304

pls help

>>12151357
Leave in sun, or wash with very dilute bleach/ tiny bit of black dye depending on which way you want to suppress the colours, you could also slightly bleach and slightly dye but gotta be careful

Ever sewn before? A jacket isn't a beginners project. Buy a pattern, skinflint. Try it out on a cheaper fabric (jute?) and look how to change your pattern accordingly. Do I need a larger size? Does this part of the pattern need to be longer?

Guy who's plasti dipping his Palladiums here

The shoe laces arrived and I decided to just cover the sole with white tape to see what the color will look like on the shoe and I'm pretty fucking stoked

When it's actually done the soles won't look as flat, the tape just isn't actually covering all of it

Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm going with the top right option from my OP

umm no
that's if you bleach black
blue turns whiter

the problem with bleaching to an almost white color is that you'll ruin the integrity of the fabric since bleach is corrosive
