I made this design myself and I wanted to know if it's any good? The second photo is a mockup, I haven't printed it yet.

I wanted to repair the holes while making sure the patch would be durable and wouldn't bulge or wrinkle in the creased areas.

For the embroidery, I used a homemade canvas made from ordinary cotton calico fabric. The embroidery took about a week to complete, working on it for a couple of hours each evening.

What do you think of the result?

apologies if this is the wrong flair — i don’t think i’ll be doing any hand sewing with this but i think it’s the most accurate flair on the list !

i absolutely adore this style of tights — i don’t want to buy them because i can only find them on fast fashion sites, which i don’t want to support. i was wondering how to best go about DIYing them without breaking them entirely if that makes sense ? i make my own ripped tights all the time but i’ve never done any with this many holes / very thin strings leftover. i don’t want to accidentally cut a whole leg off 🥲

would it be best to use an opaque pair of tights, or leggings ? also wondering if there‘s anything i can do to enforce the material after cutting, to prevent further tears.

any advice is greatly appreciated !!

I like to make patches out of worn out clothes-
I've made a bunch that aren't pictured here, and I will continue making them 😂

Really happy with how this turned out. I will definitely use this color palette again!

last 2 pics are the before :)

Hello I am looking to make a dress like this for a friend but I am struggling to find a polka dot fabric with dots this large, they look to be 8-10cm in size, UK based would be better but I am fine with high shipping costs if that's what it takes

Tired of looking for merch that you really want? Then DIY!

Made with patches and rhinestones

Hey I'm new here. I love fashion since I can think and so is the case with painting and drawing.
when I met my girlfriend little over a year ago she inspired me to try to work with clothing and found my passion for upcycling and customizing clothing.

disclaimer: the pants in the first picture, the inner layer shirts seen in the pictures and the black/white boots seen in one picture are NOT created or modified by me.
I am still new to this but wanted to show you some work I did and maybe try to connect with people with who my work resonates so we can share tips and ideas.

I made a dress out of tickets (not all mine, collected from others around SF) for cover art for a SONG i wrote about SFMTA. The song is out NOW on all streaming platforms as “SF money-taking agency.” Would love to have people stream it whenever they’re sad about getting a $100+ ticket! But if you don’t want to listen because you hate me, I understand.

Would love to hear about anyone’s parking ticket trauma

I've had this American apparel dead stock hoodie thing for years, finally did something with it. It's printed with spray paint on muslin. Chaotic stitching with grommets. I love working with spray paint. Ultimate DIY move imo. Enjoy.

I bought two jumpsuits with the intention of crafting them into more unique pieces for my city’s upcoming Pride festival. One is white (pictured) and one is dark denim but hasn’t arrived yet. Originally I’d envisioned getting iron on letter decals to spell out something on the back, but now I’m considering other options.

Does anyone have experience or advice either

1. Painting on denim? Ideally at least letters, but also likely a background behind the letters and maybe something on the pockets

Or

2. cutting out fabric letters and gluing and/or stitching them onto denim with embroidery thread or regular thread?

I’ve included pictures of what kind of inspiration I have for the slogan I want. Thinking of something more country inspired for the darker jumpsuit and something more femme for the white jumpsuit.

Thanks!

hi! as the caption says, i bought this shirt from vinted and on the photos on the listing the sleeve part of the shirt looked grey, but instead they are this muted blue, i think it would be super cute and match a lot mire of my clothes and style if they were grey like i originally thought, how would i achieve this?
the label says its 50% cotton and 50% polyester.
ive never dyed clothes before so im pretty new and unsure what ive doing, and i’ve definitely never tried to turn an existing colour into a different one, so any help would help appreciated
let me know if you need any more info! and thankyou if you do help me!

Someone reached out to me and asked if id make them a Chiikawa hoodie. They're requests were pretty minimal although I'd never heard of Chiikawa before they reached out so hopefully I did the little guy justice. It was a bit of a crash course. Let me know what you think.

Cheers
