r/DIYclothes

So, my mom just recently got a bunch of those t-shirts for free, but they're too small for her so she gave them to me

And I absolutely ADORE that color

It's a bright red, but not neon, it's really pretty, and really rare to find clothes in that shade of red particularly

The thing is, they're all coca cola shirts, and I don't want to just be a walking coca cola ad whenever I wear them, + if I can get rid of the text/white parts I could customize it too

Is there any ways to remove it without damaging the tshirt ?

I was thinking of using fabric paint and a small brush? Do you think it will be effective enough?

It ended up selling before I finished all the patches for it, so I may never see the final version, but I’m happy it found its new home! I got more jackets to paint though cause I loved it so much

Attempting to get this dress to a purple like the example on the last slide, but still keep the vibrancy so it shows through the black sheer layer. there’s no tags, but i did a small burn test and I think it’s a rayon/polyester blend? I’ve got Rit Dyemore in Royal purple and very little experience dyeing… desperate for tips/reviews of Rit for synthetics, any advice and warnings are appreciated. Thanks!

Hand sewn, feels like they're still missing something.

I tried scrubbing with nail polish remover soaked rag and it didn’t seem to do much. If it matters the label says it has 100% Cotten shell fabric and 100% polyester lining, the glue is on the outside near the crotch seam.

I've been really enjoying the process of getting my designs onto real clothes in real life!! It's so satisfying when it starts on a screen and ends up physically existing, and on someone's body at that! Hoping that maybe one day I'll make something of myself by doing this. Or at least move out of my bloody mum's house lol.

I ordered a pair of camo cargos, and their a little bit darker than I had hoped , is there any way I can make them brighter to fit grey tones better? As shown in the second picture

I thrift pants and scribble on them, this is my latest abomination 🫡

Looks printed on, ironed on? Smooth to the touch. Google says heat and acetone but im afraid of damaging the levi denim

Looks good if I do say so myself

want to make these type of shoes but i’m having trouble with the body of the shoe. it’s like holographic and i was wondering if there’s something i can do to replicate that. my only theory right now is maybe find some fun colored aluminum foil(???) and like hair dry it on somehow??

I understand there’s a FAQ with similar answers but I couldn’t find an example close to the fabric of this jacket and I’m afraid of staining it.

I love taking boring thrifted clothes and making them exciting. Each print with a linocut block is different, which makes all of them so exciting!

I have this coat, but it’s in really bad shape. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with it? Maybe how to restore it or turn it into something new? Any advice would help

Used my own artwork for the DTF print and added a hand-designed organic pattern on the back.
Still experimenting, but I’m really happy with how this one came out
