Some snowboarding attire... I made the bandana. It's damaged and has black patches of the same material sewn on.

edit: you can see the details if you click on the pic.

Here's my jacket I just completed-I did a sort decopage technique with the lace and pasted each bit in an overlapping approach and I added a bit of tassle on the sleeve....that was actually kind of difficult because I couldn't get them to fall the right way so I went through that process three or four times before I got it the way I wanted.

it looks as if the lace were growing out of it...

seth, one stylish terrorist indeed

Awesome , Scott! Would u mind sharing how u paste the laces? Can we have a close up, pls?

 

[snickerdoodles]

It looks great Scott!! What kind of paste did you use to attach the lace to the fabric?

 

[Scott]

^just some normal fabric paste that dries clear. You could barely even tell on closer inspection that I used paste as most the black and texture from the lace masqued it.

 

[Curious]

Great job Scott You're the most fashionable man in town

 

[Papercut Crisis]

Another top I just completed. Please click for larger pic Do you guys think anyone would buy this if I made a web shop?

Scott, thats awesome. Gives me some ideas. I wonder how it looks with someone in it?

 

[crankypants]

You ever looked at the website that sold Mary-Kate's holey shirts? I think it was markandestel.com? If those can sell, then I think yours would, too. And your pics and clothes look cool to boot.

I know a few people earlier in this thread were talking about dyeing shoes. I'm hoping to dye some distressed leather boots and I was wondering whether leather dye, suede/nubuck dye or leather paint would work best. I'd guess suede/nubuck would work well, as nubuck is pretty much distressed leather, or would leather dye work best? Presumably leather paint will only work on a smooth surface. Has anyone got any experience with dyeing distressed leathers?

 

[softgrey]

i don't understand paul...
it they are distressed...then won't dying them ruin them by making them look 'new'......

 

[Paullw]

Well the colour on them is fairly even, its the texture that is more 'distressed'. Worn, sanded patches and a general scuffed look. Will dyeing change that? I've never dyed shoes before so I really don't know. They are only cheap though, its a bit of an experiment.

 

[Kimkhuu]

Scott that is so pretty!!

 

[urd]

scott, that is so beautfull!!! I want one too

 

[iperlchen]

A moss-grown jacket. Scott!
Well done Seth, I like the pics too.

I just sewed more than 4 cms for the first time in my life. Each time I would chicken out. Now I finally caught hold of the sewing-machine and showed it who's the boss I took a trashy old shirt and made an etui (is that an English word? something you put your pencils etc in) out of it.

This is how I live yes, no props. Cleaning up is quite needless
