I have a light colored denim jacket and two patches on the way, both Velcro. Can I just see some Velcro on the jacket and never take the patches off or will they get fucked up in the wash?

Lads, im thinking of making my own RAF style jacket/parka.

How shit/flawed is my method and how likely am i to fuck it up?

Basically, this is what ive cooked up.
>buy plain piece of fabric
>Print artwork i want on the back of jacket (most probably a beksinski painting) using this method
https://youtu.be/yO3qZR8ahlk
>leave 1.5cm border around said image for sewing into using this method.
https://youtu.be/ODoLrCTxp5o
>Cut hole in back of a plain black Parka/jacket and sew into it using above method
?????????????
>cheap Raf parka

I understand theres a lot more to the appeal of actual raf parkas than just the fancy image on the back, but i dont feel like shelling out 10k to buy one. I can see it coming out a lot worse than i expect it to but i guess its worth a try, if not just for practice.

Hello, kmart in my area has some cargo pants that fit pretty nice as pictured and i was wondering what would happen if i died them and which colour would look good they come in black and tan. what would happen if i died the black ones with white dye or bleach? would it look cool or the tan ones navy would that work? cheers

>>7458
you can't dye anything white
if you bleach, it'll weaken the fabric and change the color to whatever the base of their black is (usually an orange)

ignoring the rest of your post

>>7459
ok thanks

>>7459
do you know about vice versa? white to black

>>7461
literally just identify the fiber of your item, buy a black dye kit for that fiber, follow the instructions

>>7457
What colours are the patch and the parka? The plan sounds good.

>>7450
nice, thanks!

>>7464
Some of them, like drapedrape2, are useless, because there is no pattern.

that pic pretty much explains what you have to do, Firefox can't filter the images, if I remember correctly, so it's just more cumbersome to find the files

You're probably gonna have to try a few times to get the transfer process down. Also in my experience I've only had luck with laser printed images, but idk for sure if it's the only viable option.

>>7471
Oh yeah, and this. Honestly, I would just get a acrylic gel medium instead. It's going to maybe twice as much cost wise, but the finish is going to be smoother and once completely dry is going to wash the same as fabric paint.

Pretty sure there was a guide for this ages ago, involved buying a plain tshirt that lets you print your own design on it like that red bubble shit, then either iron on transfer or hemming(?) the edges and stitching it on

>>7457

don't cut a hole in the parka. just sew the patch over the existing fabric.

if you cut a hole in the parka, it will drape incorrectly forever thereafter unless the fabric you're replacing it with is of the same weight, drapes in the same manner, and you sew it absolutely perfectly.

just sew the patch onto the parka.

trust me.

>>7498
What do you want to iron on it?

Does anyone have any experience with dyeing a black piece of fabric into another colour? Is the result just a very dark version of the dye colour, or is the effect barely noticeable? Can't seem to find much about this online.

>>7503
you can only darken fabric through dyes

I myself made a New Years resolution to learn how to hand-sew my own clothing without a machine. I have nothing but free time and I have always hated using a machine because its loud and stressful.

I think I want to DIY these rather than spend $500+ on them. Soloist 'The Jean' made from Levis 501s. Does anyone have a pattern like this or would it basically be go nuts with a seam ripper and scissors and guess? Probably going to do them in grey or faded black.

>>7515
I think you need 1 or 2 jeans as a source of fabric. When you cut out a square you'll need to cut out the same figure + 2cm on every side from those other jeans. Plan and measure where you want to cut.

How do I paint on a jeans jacket like this?

>>7519
Acrylic paint.

>>7520
any acrylic paint, or are there special ones used for fabric? Does it wash?

>>7521
The anon in the previous thread (>>12280390) that made the jacket also mentioned fabric paint. I once painted letters in various colours on a tshirt to make my own devo tshirt (I gave it away). I did 2 or 3 layers of cheap acrylic paint and it didn't disappear after washing, although it had a 'cracked' texture.

>>7523
Lots of starch.

>>7513
I just did some experiments with bleach and the end result was kinda similar. I just put dark blue denim in bleach without diluting the bleach for like 7 minutes and then I put the denim under running water. Idk why it went yellowish tho, so idk how to control that

Curtain tie backs. Or go to a fabric store.
If you get desperate, maybe check into porn store "silk rope" for BDSM.

by diluting the bleach?
the yellow is the color of the original cotton fibers

>>7531
Oh I didn't know that
I tried with diluted bleach and it didn't came out yellowish. Maybe the denim I had was too dark to begin with

It's only lightly water resistant; a heavy rain would make quick work of the jacket

Would someone mind elaborating on "sustainability"? I think it should be fairly easy to piece things together from old inspo and old clothing (to take apart and make into new stuff), if that's what you mean

"The goal of (sustainable fashion] is to create a system which can be supported indefinitely in terms of human impact on the environment and social responsibility. It can be seen as an alternative trend against fast fashion." Wiki sez. I guess it means that you try to minimize the negative impact the creation of clothing has on the earth so that later generations can still benefit from it. Repurposing clothes is part of it, but also using natural dyes and creating clothes that have a longer lifespan than just one season. Story MFG seems like a good example.

You'd need a sewing awl for the sole and possibly something to punch holes with for the leather, you can buy a leather punch online. Cop leather from etsy, you can get a 12x12 sheet for $5-$7, so you can get a few. Leather is a bitch to sew though.

There are plenty tutorials online. You measure what you need to take in. You fold the pants inside out. You draw a line, stitch and cut the leftover fabric. I think a better project for a beginner would be a tshirt. It's a simple project to get familiar with the sewing machine and it's various stitches. It also gives you a basic idea of how a garment is constructed. The pastebin has links to websites that offer patterns. Instructions are included with them.

I would like to create a big ass back patch for this jacket I am working on. I want it to be a tall rectangle and basically cover almost all of the back. Canvas or cotton would be cool, I don't want the 3d effect of embroidery, and the design is extremely minimal. Does anyone know how I would go about this? I was thinking of getting it printed on a T shirt and then cutting it but honestly I think it is too big for that. Is there any website where I could just print it on a stretch of cotton fabric? Pic related, this is just about the size I would like the patch to be, but its definitely not going to be as corny as this one or on a vest.

Some places will print anything on any fabric that you bring in as long as it's in a .svg, but maybe you don't have those where you live.

I fucked up this old pair of jeans with a pair of scissors

Good or should I burn them and pretend it never happened

When will they learn.
Use sandpaper and a thread picker to roughen up the edges

>>7625
I don't have any of those things

All I have that's remotely similar is a metal file on a leatherman

I make a stencil with freezer paper, iron it onto the shirt, and spray bleach onto the stencil. For the Bad Books one it was 4 layers to get the different shades. Here's a single layer one

>Layer two, cut out the lightest and second lightest color.
>Third layer is everything but black.
>Iron on the first stencil (lightest color)
>With a spray bottle (very fine mist- this is important) of a 50/50 bleach and water mix, spray a conservative amount of bleach onto the stencil/shirt.
>Dab it up with a paper towel immediately
>Peel off the stencil and wait a sec for the bleach to take effect. This is variable on your design, more time= lighter color.
>Carefully line up the next stencil and do the same thing. Since you have the two lightest colors cut out, the first layer will now be lighter and the second will be the initial spray's color.
>After you've sprayed every layer, submerge the shirt in cold water for a bit. This will neutralize the bleach and stop the process.
That's pretty much it, it takes a little tweaking to make it look clean, but after a few attempts you'll start to develop your own technique.

That's the thing with dyes, I'm thinking. They might only come in homemakers colours. Red could come out too pretty.

kind of wanted some nice oversized shirts

Literally can't get this thing turn black. Using 3 packs of RIT dye and salt etc... have tried 3 times. Probably just going to end up using a shit ton of dye.

>>7673
It's not supposed to turn black, you're supposed to see the camo pattern, otherwise its just another black parka

>>7662
i dont know the exact chemical composition of the soles but leaving them in daylight should start to discolour the rubber

Sup /diy/, first time here. I've bought these white shoes and the seller hid the fact that they were yellowed to shit, as in pic.

I fear that trying to restore the white will be a costly disaster, so I'm considering customizing them. I have no patchwork/stitching/fabric experience, but I am a pretty good illustrator. I would just draw on em, but I feel it would look cheap/crummy. Any opinions/inspo for shoe customizing? They're canvas.

>>7673
let me guess, used shitty bucket method instead of washing mashine

>>7678
just throw them in bleach, then in the washing machine.

>>7676
the imported ones are yellow you god damn fucking retard

they turn that color when they get fucking dirty

>>7678
this >>7680

they're canvas nikes they can take some bleach

Guy with the black parka here. Your pattern was what I aimed for. Yours looks great, don't dye it further. I used two packs for two parkas in a washing machine, both are completely black.

>>7684
Looks nice and clean

>>7679
Nah I used washing machine, but mine doesn't have an only spin mode.
So I sat there with a broom stick for 45 minutes pushing it around. 3 different times.

DIY gods how do i fix this... can i only style these jeans with long shirts or is there a way out

>>7678
You can always paint on them with acrylic but it'll look diy

>>7689
burn them

why can't all jeans just have normal rises? i bought a pair of cheap mondays but didn't know they were some dropcrotch fuccshit with microscopic pockets

i'm thinking of doing pretty uch the same on converse, buying black converse, painting them white. would it evr look good? age well? is it a problem that i rip margiela off?

>>7695
not sure if it would work but:
apply a heavy coat of white acrylic interior/exterior paint
let them dry in the sun

>>7698
yeah tried art acrylic paint and it came off in the rain :)

Need something high key and waterproof.

>>7699
That's why i think int/ext paint, the kind you would use to paint a house, would work.
I know house paint cracks and flakes on jeans once dry if it's built up enough, so maybe it would do the same on canvas shoes.

I got that pic but the shirt doesn't look that oversized cause I was wearing it on top of a hoodie.
I also put a black sabbath patch on the left shoulder

Shrinking some 501 CT's right now in a pot of boiling water, will post some pics when finished.

>>7705
what the fuck

>>7706
Isn't it better to wear them, sit in a warm tub and dry them in the sun while wearing them?

>>7476
dude honestly, if you don't wanna look like a total tryhard virgin you gotta get a "cool" shirt, cut that shit up and sew it on the back

>>7708
I don't know if these are shrink to fit so I'm not sure. But also my bath tub drain is clogged and I have no desire to fuck with that right now.

this would only be cool if it's an a larger rotation.

I painted some vans red with 2 layer of acrylic paint. I have been wearing them for 2 weeks and the paint cracked a bit but only the 2 layer so you can't see the original colour.
(This picture was taken after 2 weeks of almost daily wear) sorry for broken English, only trying to contribute.

>>7709
dump some inspo, I ain't got no (band) shirts that I'd sacrifice for that purpose atm.

>>7718
maybe you should get some shoes in the colour you want to paint them? So if the paint cracks, the colour of the shoe still matches.

>>7720
Yeah you can do this. I painted my vans because I really wanted some red vans and I had bought some ugly tiedye vans for really cheap. I also think it's pretty cool that you can see the other color under the paint.

Is there a way to replace this safety pin with a standard post pin? I find this too fragile and loose.

>>7722
The posts are usually glued on, so just find a shitty one you won't feel bad abound ruining and take the back off it.

5 minute epoxy it to the back and you're golden.

>>7691
Or save them. It's still fabric. Maybe for a denim parka.
