Anyone make their own clothes?

[Guest DUM]

I wanna play too. I know I'm going to try and go to an art school in Seattle after I finish up at this comm. college here but I'm not sure if I want to go into graphic design or fashion design...because either way I'd like to end up working with clothing, but originally meant just prints on things but I'm getting to be more interested in construction lately. I taught myself all I know about graphic design and I think I'm not bad..so maybe I'll play with sewing and stuff to see if I even like it.

My mom used to sew alot of stuff, I think she had some job that required it, she's good so hopefully she can teach me not to suck.

Recommend me some good graphic design books!

I'm in the same situation as you. However, I'm pretty sure I won't manage to get into a decent graphic design school, seems extremely hard to apply.

Thats fucking great. Where'd you get the material?

[Guest DUM]

Very nice!

[qom]

A shop in a nearby town.

They actually didn't have any other material, was aiming to get black fabric first, but this was funnier

[Guest DUM]

qom, next time you make something, could you take the time to take some photos of the process for the noobs?

will +rape.

Sure!

I don't sew everything back at home, since I'm attending a sewing class, but I will try to remember to snap some pictures when I sew at home.

Next project will be a shirt, not sure if that is interesting though?

[fg0d]

Any type of documentation would be interesting. Thanks.

[Guest mwills]

So dope qom. Inspiring, I really wanna take a shot at sewing some of my own clothes as well.

[qom]

The work on a shirt has begun.

Don't expect an extensive photo journal though, gonna need a lot of help with this, seems to be a lot harder to sew a shirt than a t-shirt/hoody..... "duh"

[fg0d]

Good luck qom, can't wait to see the work.

How did you make that? Did you paint that on? Or did you print screen it?

[le_chic_garcon]

Im going to take classes this winter on printscreening & then make tons of shirts & stuff.

soon i will be able to play here too... i'm in the midst of completing a 15 piece range for college - due in about a week and presented at a fashion show the following week. range consists of patent leather trench, patent poncho type thing, perforated leather biker jacket, raw denims, coated denims and lots of layered c&s..

pics soon

ps i hate sewing

[JonathanFrom508]

wow homme sounds great can't wait to see pics and if you dont mind what collage do you go to? sounds a bit demanding

[homme.homme]

FBI in sydney (fbi stands for fashion something or other).

It isn't that demanding really. We have had a number of months to do the range ive just been too busy with work to put in the time thats been needed from the begining.

I must admit the college is pretty average though. im not that eager to recommend it to n e one.

[slight]

2 colour screenprint. The original pictures were done with crayon.

Well at least very nordic that's for fure, folky. I find Sweden/finland/norway has great colorful graphic embroideries, trims and knits

myckett bra

[qom]

Finally done with the shirt, won't make another one for awhile, that's for sure!

Process pics will be posted next week, don't expect anything extraordinary, lots of gaps, and pics are crappy, well, atleast it's something

The shirt must've taken about as much time as it took me to sew both the t-shirt and the hood x2, no kidding

[Servo2000]

Danm. Looks really nice.

Well done! Shirt looks great. I like how you have your back longer than your front.

Where did you get your fabrics from? 100% Cotton or Poly/Cotton mix?

[qom]

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that it's no mix, just cotton.

It's from the same "local" shop that I got the fabrics for my hoodie.

Very satisfied with the material, althought I wish I lived in a bigger city so there were more to chose from.
