some intriguing stuff

http://i.imgur.com/4tqifmOl.jpg a couple of my shirts were falling apart so i made one. corduroys from a couple of years ago are holding up nicely though. http://i.imgur.com/iAp2OFKl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/14qnsQLl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dSg5K6Ml.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OLbUI64l.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/eKrkVSWl.jpg I used a heavy, basket weave type cotton for this. The texture is nice, but the weave is so loose it probably wouldn't be pleasant in the rain. http://i.imgur.com/48IlVuQl.jpg I wasn't sure if I wanted to add the "cape" or not. I ended up making a huge tear...

I figured as much, I used a mordant when I dyed some pants with fustic a while back and the difference is huge. I'll keep the temperature in mind though, thanks!

http://i.imgur.com/zQhkmGPl.jpg I'm slowly refining my shirt pattern. Two piece sleeve this time, and larger cuffs. I'll probably never wear this with a tie, so there is no collar stand, and the first button is a few inches away from the collar. I'll probably add a pocket at some point. http://i.im...

http://i.imgur.com/ouztFKhl.jpg The shirt is a wool/silk blend, woven pretty loose. http://i.imgur.com/rkgQ949l.jpg I found the buttons for it in a thrift store. http://i.imgur.com/D900Dqal.jpg http://i.imgur.com/isgCJ5Ll.jpg The pants are made from heavy selvedge corduroy. http://i.imgur.com/DbJ5L...

raags I've read it. I was trying to address the oppression aspect, and I guess the imbalance of power. If a culture holds something significant, but there is no oppression or imbalance is it just cultural exchange if I use things from that culture aesthetically, or is the fact that something is sig...

If a culture has never been through centuries of discrimination, oppression, and genocide, is it acceptable to appropriate?

there can be no winner

A variation http://i.imgur.com/Es8YGcjl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/o4cvVA5l.jpg Pretty much the same pattern as the last one, just now in wool, lined, and with different pockets. http://i.imgur.com/YrRi6sBl.jpg The buttons are light pink and white. http://i.imgur.com/ZeIhtnYl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/boBQ...

http://i.imgur.com/aIyPCEel.jpg I'm not really sure what to call this, conceptually it was a shirt, but it ended up very jackety. Mostly linen, half of the sleeves are stretch cotton. The buttons are mismatched mother of pearl. http://i.imgur.com/tLOh0KDl.jpg This is why organization is key. My pat...

yo trasparenti this is super rad! 10/10. http://i.imgur.com/hzRuBB3l.jpg Margaret Howell knit t, very substantial and soft. Great colours on this. http://i.imgur.com/I1OOs75l.jpg Champion pocket t, a classic. Lovely shade of off white, and very soft too. http://i.imgur.com/TeGJW7nl.jpg NuGgETS pocke...

Second attempt at a type 3 trucker, this time in stretch selvedge denim. A couple of minor changes to the pattern plus the back gusset really helped the fit.

new things from old things

shit they're self aware

in chronological order: http://i.imgur.com/Px8QCcJl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DK0fYRAl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/USwAYvxl.jpg Trucker jacket in natural indigo denim. I like the way this looks, but the fit is all kinds of fucked up on me. I don't know how I managed that. http://i.imgur.com/a6av0ocl.jpg htt...

party harder

ptozzi I started out just by doing small repairs on clothes. That gave me the basic idea of how to use a sewing machine, what appropriate stitch count is, figuring out thread tension, etc. That lead to teaching myself how to alter clothes. Pretty basic stuff, hemming and tapering pants, slimming sh...

http://i.imgur.com/558yJuUl.jpg?1 Trying something a little different with sleeves. This one is a two piece sleeve, which I chose so there wouldn't have to be a sleeve placket. The sleeve opens up after the bear tick, which is way simpler than dealing with plackets. Next, I extended the pleat past ...

I made some more things. First, some double knee fatigue pants. The material is a nice brushed, slightly stretchy cotton twill. Its thinner than I would have liked, but nice all the same. The pattern is a modification of the fustic dyed trousers I made earlier. The waist is a little lower, and the t...

I did the same thing as soon as I took it out of the box

Yo can- , this is unreal! http://i.imgur.com/L3fINX3l.jpg -Fernet Branca, currently drinking this with whiskey and ginger ale. very nice. -Vintage Armani tie -huuuggee side of leather (this covered my entire kitchen floor when rolled out) and swatches stolen from the Phillip Lim studio -Mao quotes -...

THERE IS MORE ACTION TO BE DONE TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE THAN TO WEAR THIS T SHIRT BUT IT'S A GOOD START
