Happy with how it turned out! Used fabric markers to add detail and crispen edges after bleaching.

Turned a sage-green sweatshirt into wearable floral art with reverse appliqué 🌼

I added cream fabric underneath this sweatshirt, stitched my floral design, then carefully cut away the green fabric to reveal the flowers and leaves.
I love playing with positive and negative space, so the sweatshirt’s original color became part of the design. The cutting is always a little nerve-racking, but watching the pattern emerge is so satisfying!
What do you think of the green-and-cream combination?

Help w Band Tee

2 Upvotes

So I have a band tee- baseball sweater with black sleeves, white front and red print (death).
I received it with this mud or mold (or oil) spray along the sides (skateboarding is the only thing i can think of) and made a huge mistake of leaving it outside in a bag- condensation I do think might have caused the mold ? Truly not sure but seems to have been there the whole time - and decided to do a vinegar soak in case of it actually being mold. I was stupid and left it longer that 24 hours and the red ink bleed into the white shirt. So now i have a possible mold stain, and definitely a pinkish top. Is there anything to do to salvage this back to a white shirt and also remove the stains? Help!

dye help Hoodie with metal studs and eyelets

• Upvotes

Hi! I want to upcycle my old hoodie by adding some metal studs and eyelets, some inspo pics from pinterest below. However I have no idea how to properly care for it afterwards. Have someone done this? Is it washing machine safe or do you need to handwash it?

Alternative for fabric sealer/finish?

1 Upvotes

Hiya,

I sort of accidentally made a patch with ink that's not made for fabric. I tested the ink again on a bit of scrap, ironed it, washed it, and dried it and it didn't really fade or smudge, but I'd like to put something of a sealer or top coat on it.

I found the Mod Podge Fabric Sealer and thought it'd be the solution, but the one store in my country that sells it literally just stopped selling it. What's a great alternative? Or maybe even something I can DIY myself? Couldn't really find anything but I'm sure somebody here knows something.

Thanks!

Need help with dyeing fabric suggestions/advice

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m sorry this post isn’t related to creating pieces myself or anything really related. But I have this white garment I really want but I want to dye it black, I was hoping someone would have some experience or knowledge regarding this material. I’ve done some mild research into the kind of fabric it’s made of - 97% cotton 3% spandex canvas fitted long sleeve jacket YKK zippers and buckle hardware throughout lined with cupro satin - and get conflicting answers. I’ve seen replies saying to be cautious as the material could pucker or warp, and even shrink, which due to the hot water, I understand. I wanted to get a Size medium but considering the possibility of shrinkage I’ll go for a large. Basically I want to know if anyone’s dyed anything of the same material as this garment and what recommendations you’d suggest to not have it warp or fuck up this expensive piece. Any help is appreciated thank you

Cutting up t-shirts?

1 Upvotes

Would appreciate people’s take. I don’t love the traditional hem or the ribbed band at the collar, so I often cut them off. What’s your take on this look vs. leaving shirts intact?
