Mega Hoodie

Set out to make this Champion hoodie bigger by reusing old Thrasher hoodies that I happen to have. Now it fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ inspired by Brands like Protocol Index

Cut a pattern, sewed some zippers, added grommets & a drawstring. It's good to go ✌️

Leveled up a hoodie with upcycled overalls

Took some canvas workwear overalls and added them to a matching hoodie giving it a massive pouch pocket with additional smaller pockets, flexibility & detachability by utilizing snap buttons, & a renewed industrial aesthetic.

​What do you think? Cheers🙏

Tried to get fancy. Results are mixed.

I still haven't really mastered the shape of a straight line (best i can do is wobbly) but decided to try my hand at animals and animal adjacent shapes including a snake and a cobweb. Both started strong but confidence is the death blow to technique and as such, combined with my fleeting patience, both resulted in something resembling their intended shape but just a wee bit off. Good experience, will try again.

I tried some creative embroidery. Results are mixed.

'Starry Night' theme handmade Chiikawa hoodie🪡

Layers of navy cotton, twill, & denim, heavily over-sewn & then distressed with touches of yellow & hand sewn embroidery throughout. Van Gough's 'Starry Night' was a loose inspiration on this one. My fingertips are thicker than leather now. Hope you like it! Take care be well 🙏

Hand-me-down denim jacket I repaired as best I could

Less of a 'battle jacket' and more of a 'war torn jacket'. Found it in a grandparents garage, so not really a 'hand-me-down' and more of a 'helped-myself-and-assumed-ownership' but felt that was too clunky for the title. Had massive holes but using old denim and some canvas patches I managed to plug up all the ones that were posing a threat to its wearability. Hope you like ✌️

Patched, printed, laced(?), distressed and then handsewn. Took ~ 3 full days, a km of thread (0.62 miles) and a lot of blue fabric. And some lace a friend gave me, said it adds a nice touch but idk. What do you think?
