this is a jacket ive been working on for a while now, its 3 jackets franken-stitched into a duster kinda deal, I'm still working on it but this is the progress so far! :D

I want to turn this shirt into a sweater vest, but I don’t know how that process would work. So I’m asking if to see if I can get some good advice

Recently got my hands on some fabric markers so im making my own patches for the first time. (patches arent sewn on yet)

I have this faux leather, I love it. Buuut my long hair gets caught under the studs and rips my hair out in chunks :( any suggestions on how to seal the studs against the faux leather? I was thinking super glue, but a friend said no.

TYIA!!

$23 wrangler jeans that i cut short and distressed myself.

looking to make this shirt pop more . was wondering if anyone had suggestions what would look cool? i mostly wear this shirt to rave/techno events so something cool for that

Fabric is flaking off these boots I got at a thrift store, they'll flake anytime I wear them. Anything I can do to prevent this? I was just gonna glue it down, stick tape over it then sew on a patch over it, They're really comfortable and I don't care if the solution looks nice or anything, just wanna see if anyone has ideas!

im planning on painting my MEK pants with chalk paint then waxing them, is it a good idea? also not sure whether chalk paint works like that

What do you think?

So i bought this beanie out of impulse and honestly now i dont like it and i dont think it's legit charles jeffery, but i still want to see what i can do with it

Im not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask but if you can help please do 🙏🙏🙏

Hi,

I just found a very old leather jacket that has not been used for at least 5 years. it's quite thick leather and now, having not been moved for such long time, the fabric feels extremely stiff and rigid.

I never treated leather, so I am a complete noobie. I am brushing it with a first layer of body hydrating cream (basic Nivea white stuff) and was wondering what your routine is in this case. I thought of giving it a bit of this at first, to soften it, and later proceed to add some oil to protect it. Ideally, I would prefer homemade solutions, I heard cocoa butter can be good?

Made with acrylic paint n fabric softener on my only fitted hoodie. I thought I should share :)

I havent worn this in a while, and I wanted to take the neck off and make it off the shoulder like I've seen done to band tees, problem is? I have no idea what I'm doing and don't have any experience doing anything like this and I need help😭. If it helps, the material is 60% cotton, 40% polyester, and its stretchy and an XL size. Sorry for the landscape photo

I had a dress that I really liked as a Gothic lolita, a slightly shattered old jeans (thigh level) and the lace that my grandmother had when she was sewing.

Result 1

A mini skirt and a choker

The best part is that I still have some plaid fabric left so I'll see if I can create the matching top!!!

I couldn't find any basic black tanks anywhere of decent quality so I just decided to bite the bullet and order them online and they come in, to the surprise of none, feeling like cheap plastic. It's frustrating how shoddy everything seems to be.

I thrifted this dress about a week ago and I love it, but it needs work. I've already taken it in from a XL to a M. I also had to move the breast pads as they were inside the dress, or in-between the fabric, and it was skin color against white. They are now behind the fabric so it will blend in with my skin. The final adjustment I'm struggling with; straps. I'd like to add straps for support and comfort. I have thin straps off an old bra that would allow it to be adjustable, but they feel plain with all the textures. If anyone has any ideas involving the already cut straps or something else, it would be appreciated. Please note, I don't want to buy anything else but there's probably a lot around my house I could use (my grandma was a hoarder and my mom brought a lot of useful things home when cleaning out her house). I'm also new to sewing, so nothing with extremely complicated stitching.

I just got this Jaded London dress and I was hoping to dye it to another color, probably navy or purple. It’s polyester so I was planning to use the Rit synthetic dye. I know that synthetic means a higher temperature. I was looking online and it says that the beads/sequins could melt. I guess I’m wondering if there’s any advice/is it possible to dye without ruining the beading/sequins?

The materials description:
“Fabric1 : 90% polyester,10% elastane. 
Trim 1: 100% recycled sequins.
Trim 2: 100% glass.  
Trim 3: 100% copper.
Dry clean only 
Take care to avoid snagging 

Due to the delicate nature of this garment, care should be taken when washing and wearing. Hand wash separately. Some bead loss may occur over time”

Ok so boom I have a brand new book bag for this year and I want to paint it. I would appreciate suggestions and tips for painting especially because I have fabric makers in white and red. I already have some designs I want to put on it but idk. :)

All patches made my me!! (Except the star I bought it like that)

So today i drew a chb logo on a shirt for a cosplay with permanent marker before thinking that it might not be the best for it. I am gonna wear it at a con this weekend. I'm wondering how many washes would it last before it looks awful?

I posted previously about trying to find a newsboy cap pattern.

WELP, I did not find one.

Instead I stared *REALLY* hard at a few pictures and put it together with what I already knew.

Result is.... Okay. My next one will be better, but this one is special because it's made from my old favorite jacket.
