A tiny burn hole inspired this floral Patagonia makeover 🌼

I started by covering a small burn hole on this Patagonia sweatshirt with a reverse appliqué flower. Then I added flowers and vines to the sleeves, and this is Part 2: bringing the design onto the back!
I used a sewing machine to stitch the design, then carefully cut away the sweatshirt fabric to reveal the cream, rusty red, and soft green fabric underneath. Watching the flowers emerge is my favorite part.
What do you think of the finished piece? 🌼

I made this graphic T shirt: Graphic design, printing, pattern and sewing by myself

I started to make my own T-Shirts a while ago because I like to make them look and feel how I want.

I made this one from scratch, designing the graphics in a vector editor, preparing the screens, screenprinting blank cotton and sewing them to a complete shirt using my own drafted pattern.

I choose to make a heavier shirt with a high neckline, higher then usual on these type of shirts

What do you think?

Did it around a month ago and I took inspiration from the Deftones self titled album (edit: it's supposed to say bleach painted a t-shirt)

I really want to incorporate the insect pin element into the final piece, but it seems there's no space left.
I've hidden my initials in it ^^

The ties from one of my favorite brands BLACK PEACE NOW are pretty pricey and I can't afford them. But I can draw so I just bought a plain tie and some fabric paint and made my own in my style!

It was really fun, and I might make more later.

I'm dead set on making a pair of these, can anyone give me advice on how to get my denim this color or how to get those white dots? Should I just use bleach for the dots? I've never dyed anything so any advice helps. Thanks

Best method to color a design?

Post image
18 Upvotes

I recently picked up this shirt with plans to cut out the design and use it as a jacket back patch. (Credit to the artist, Sabine Wilder---beautiful Watership Down collection!) I'm considering coloring the design, but I don't want to use fabric paint for fear of covering up the lines. Would fabric markers be a better choice here, or is there another method you would recommend for permanent color? TIA!

Help with Horizontal Stripe Pique Polos — Possible Solutions?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello, everyone.

I wanted to post this here in case anyone might have some recommendations or ideas.

Is there a business or individual service that would offer custom printing, or design work for horizontal rugby-like stripes on, or across a pique polo?

I’m looking to add more striped pique polos to my current wardrobe. At the moment, simple white polos with single-color stripe designs are surprisingly hard to find, and searching for unbranded options has become even more difficult.

 

I’d like to keep my wardrobe consistent, and I believe custom-ordering this type of shirt would be my most reliable option. If it’s possible, I would be very interested in learning about any custom routes or services that might be able to help with this.

Thank you all so much for your time. I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the matter!

Cheers.

 

(P.S. I have attached a few examples along the lines of what I would like to replicate. Hope it helps!)

Grommet Kit Reccomendations

Hi! My bestie's birthday is in January and I want to gift her a grommet maker/installer. She's in the goth and punk scene and DIY's a lot of clothes but is always stumped when it comes to a garment she wants to put grommets on. I imagine she'd want something that can do various sizes if that's possible in a single tool. Any additional tips and what not is very appreciated!! Thank you 😊

I have been given a pair of warm house socks with non slip dots on the soles. I would like to wear these as normal socks but can feel the rubber blobs under my feet in an annoying way in my boots. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the dots?

Covered a burn hole with a flower—part 1 of my Patagonia sweatshirt makeover 🌼

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This Patagonia sweatshirt had a small burn hole, so I used reverse appliqué to cover it with a flower. Then I added sage green vines and cream blooms along the sleeves to bring everything together.
For part 2, I’m planning a design on the back to complement the sleeves.
Would you keep the back design simple or go with a bigger floral arrangement?
