I patched my Herschel, as well as removed the Herschel logo/patch. It's a La Dispute band patch, but I think it also looks good as a stand-alone design.

Did this between last night and today. Gonna add a zipper and I think that'll be that. Want to make a denim moto jacket next. Nervous to do so without a pattern though. This is the result of measuring a jacket that fits me and eyeballing the rest.

I love these pants (http://www.uniqlo.com/us/men/bottoms/pa ... 05.html#01) in the 'navy' color, and I just want to wear them every day, but that's not a possibility so I want a gray pair, which isn't offered. So, I just bought the "off-white" ones to die a light-medium gray.

Now... how to dye clothes? Should I just buy some dye and a bucket? Or is there an approach which involves me not having to buy a bucket?

Back


Hem


Detached waistband detail


Belt loops and reconstructed back


More random pics of the distressing

This is my first pair of jeans. Has patch pockets on both front and back. with a moto-esque zipper on the outside seam.
sorry for terrible mirror shot. I have a black pair of jeans I just finished as well. and a VTB-esque tank done as well. Starting a harem-esque pair of tan lounge pants tonight too

My gurl also wanted an AllSaints style coat so I did a pretty blatant rip-off but am well pleased with how it's turned out. Here are some shots of how it drapes.

Had a pair of baggy linen(?) pants and needed a pair of black shorts for s/s, so I gave this a go. I'm still not very good at sewing so the hem is a little messed up, but I don't mind too much.

Before



Fabric details


Cutting the legs


Considered leaving them raw hem but decided against it


Sewing the hem


Finished hem


After


I think the fabric is really cool so Im definitely going to save the legs of the pants for another project

i don't know if you're looking for advice but you could easily improve your hemming technique by
1) ironing
2) folding the fabric over itself so it doesn't start fraying inside

Hopefully I'm not spamming too much. In this photo I'm wearing an attachment shirt that smiles recommended from rakuten then a tank and pants that I made.

The butt area of jeans are super tough to get right. At least I avoided doing a fly on these by doing a side-zipper at the waist.

, I'm really into the worn out paint look. if it really starts rubbing off though, i'll probably mask it up again and give it another layer.

damn, had no idea . thanks for the heads-up, went and found a few pics:

I have not been care-tagging as much as I'd like to, but it's been a busy few months. I was offered a spot at a small store close to where I live in Copenhagen, which I accepted and I've been putting together a collection for the display. For now it's only smaller items and accessories but hopefully some totes and bags will follow.

Here's a pic of the window display

I've also been making a few wallets for the store and as preparation for an old promise to cameron to make a prototype for a Bottega Veneta inspired wallet with a braided outer shell

Repaired the shoulder strap-part of an old thrifted satchel with some goofy rainbow thread I stole from my mom, you can't see it unless you're way up close but it makes me happy secretly knowing it's there :3

Made a slouchy "leisure jacket"

Pleased with my personal progress. This floral shirt is probably the most "expert" thing I've made, in regards to everything coming together how I wanted.

I'm planning on making a few things this summer. A shirt or two, t shirts, graphic t shirts, a jacket, and maybe even a pair of shoes if I'm brave enough. I have a pretty strong vision in my head of what I'm going for. I draw a lot in my free time but I've never been particularly good at drawing clothes, or anything realistic. Does anyone know of any books or references that they've used on drawing/designing clothes? How should I go about it?

I want to add an inside pocket on my Patagonia Torrentshell. looks pretty good but I'm clueless as to how to do the rest. Maybe want it zippable if that doesn't add a lot of difficulty.

Also, black/navy/white tape and what color for the pocket itself?

Made another pair of gloves for a friend.

She wanted them lined with the floral fabric, but that turned out to be really fucking hard to do without messing up the fit, so I just did some trim with it. I think it looks cooler.

That's sweet. I've thought about trying something similar.

One of my friends and I are going to start working on clothes together. She's been making her own stuff for years so that should help me get started. She's going to teach me how to make a simple shirt with a pocket and then we'll move on from there. Excited.
