I only ask because I want to make it look, more or less, professional and I had this idea in my head that it would look better if it was deconstructed. Although in the back of my head I know it probably wont look very good Ill still give it a shot.

$20 at 6pm. thinking about throwing these on a christmas list and trying to dye them like a light beige. I used to dye white guitar parts with coffee grounds/water and they came out looking kinda cool. wonder what it would do to the white canvas

when one of my favorite parkas was on the verge of disintegrating and i had to repair multiple tears i went ahead and added this patch to the back of it, idea kind of stolen from rafs saville parkas maybe? a bit more prominent than ideal but i'm quite fond of it

Weird to be so excited about rivets

I finally came around to ordering new colors from Italy. They came in a week before christmas and I had some crazy busy days finishing up both orders and some presents for my family. One of the presents was a cartridge bag for my girlfriend that I couldn't finish before she left Copenhagen to spent christmas at her parents in Norway. I actually 'gave' her one back in 2012, but was defeated by my abilities to make one at the time - so the project was put on hold and I guess she kind of forgot about the whole thing. I had my eyes on an Acne bag as reference, while incorporating design elements from an earlier cartridge bag I made and an Alexander Wang bag she loves.

She came back to Copenhagen yesterday and I could finally give it to her after 14 months of delay! It was the best feeling and she loved the bag.

I altered and dyed an old margaret howell shirt. It's too slim/not quite my style so I'll give it to my GF. my sewing skills improved a bit but I'm still quite sloppy.



new fabric is lightweight japanese-y chambray

I made a small wallet type thing by hand last night using some scraps of chambray + a button from the shirt the scraps are from.

Process pictures for anybody interested:

I made a dress this Saturday! Pretty dang excited, I had never successfully made something from a pattern before. Well technically not a pattern, I used a dress my grandma made for my great grandmother as a pattern. Fabric is the ticking stripe pattern, the stripes are a blueish grey but it's hard to tell. My aunt used it to refurbish her couches, but it's actually not too heavy. I threw it in the wash first and it's pretty soft.
I am thinking about buying some cheaper fabric and making some more (possibly with a dart in the back to make it more form-fitting, although I like the silhouette) and trying to sell them on etsy or something.





Thoughts about the dress? Thoughts about fabrics? Thoughts about marketability?
It cost me less than 15$ to make.
I am on a DIY high right now I just want everyone to everyone to sit around and sew together XD

That looks so fantastic!

Fabric, pattern, fit and pockets really remind me of this shirt by Tender which is an excellent thing in my book

Oh my especially the pockets! (smiling) Yay! More people should dress like train conductors is what my dad said when he saw it haha

shirt with single 'j' back seam i made. cut pants into shorts


tanktop with single back seam and accents that i made. shorts i made from a pair of pants, and made them (a little) dropcrotch. leather pocket was one of the first things i sewed.

i need to keep working on my tops though, im still not pleased with how i made them. and i need to iron my clothes.

some t shirts I made in collabo w many months ago

those look great ben, are they screenprinted?

That was almost a year ago now, wow.

Is that a Prison Break tee? What's the story behind those prints?

Last one looks like brunelleschi or something

First one is St Joseph's church in Le Havre, second is a blank box logo, last one is the Hagia Sophia

We should make lab coats. With 8bit bizarre silk pattern. No one has ever done that

This shit. Thomas the bird is totally chilling In here.

I've had some spare time in between exams and the new semester, so I made some gloves.





edit: the material is some sort of brushed twill from a pair of pants that got made into shorts, for a pattern I traced my hand, cut it into the sections of each panel, added more space for seams and space in the glove, and added some gussets for flexibility

Has anyone tried using T shirt iron on transfers before? I want to put something like these on some black/white t shirts

Trust me, you don't wear XS in American Apparel. I have a 34 inch chest and XS (my normal size) is incredibly tight on me. I honestly have to size up to a Medium in American Apparel.

Sure, I've put some more pics in the spoiler.



I appreciate all your kind rep comments, it means a lot to me (love)
