Back in September I bought a sleeveless t from Urban Outfitters that I'd been eyeing for a while but didn't get cause I don't like wearing sleeveless tees. I got the idea that since I liked the graphic I'd buy it and cut out that part of the tee and sew it onto the back of one of my denim jackets.....long story short I've got a denim jacket with a panel of t-shirt with the sacred heart printed (I think that's what it's called) on it. I've gotten so many compliments on it....I'll try to steal my brother's camera and post pics.

cool!

evexa- gorgeous dress! you did so well!

I like the idea of painting designs on fabric... maybe I will do that to my new coat. If its ugly, I only have to wear it for a few days anyhow...

Evexa ! Nice dress

I've never customised anything before. I'm afraid I'll ruin the clothes if I do.

Changing handles on bags works for me too...

adding a fur colar is something I also like doing. It makes your garment look completely differnent - like having 2..

I just met a girl who went to a Diesel workshop thing. She was taught how Diesel does washes and all that stuff. Here's how they make their t-shirts "vintage"...

1) Get a container full of water.
2) Pour salt into the container.
3) Put the shirt(s) into the container.
4) Let sit for however long you want to achieve the desired effect.

Not rocket science, is it?

How dye denim and create a worn effect

First of all i would like to apologise if this post is in the wrong forum,
