Hana Dammit posted:I finally finished this horribly cute bear hoodie for a friend. He works at a recycled home improvement store and so this wonderfully dusty fur's origins will forever remain a mystery, which given the texture and wear of the fabric, was not any time remotely recent. I lined it (for his own protection.... the wrong side of the fur was gnarls) with a red courderoy table cloth, also recycled. It broke 12 needles and may have given me a sinus infection, but here you have the bear hoodie WOW, that is amazing.

Ok, first real project besides pillows, got my 347 all oiled up and pedal fixed. I got a jacket at the Targ for this price: And I'm replacing (half of) the bland liner with something a little more exciting, here it is halfway done:  Any recommendations for how else to spruce up this jacket? The buttons are going for sure and I've got lots of star fabric and crimson thread. theflyingexecutive fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jul 19, 2015 |

If I've sewn fur with a white backing to a coat collar, what's the best way to color the edges of the backing black to match the coat?

So how would I go about doing this: I have some satin in a cool (giraffe) print and I have a donor jacket. The jacket is only a nylon shell with lining, so I'd like to keep the nylon in place to keep the jacket warm. I have a basic but reliable standard sewing machine (Singer 347) and am a sewing rookie. What I'm trying to do is leave the original sleeves and sew the satin onto the torso pieces of the jacket. Any suggestions?

If I do seam rip it all up, would I be able to put it back together with just the machine I have on hand? And yes I want to layer the satin over the nylon. Also, I don't mind accidentally destroying the jacket. It was three bucks and I have a ton of the satin.

Goldaline posted:In theory, yes, in practice, maybe?? If you nick it while seam ripping it, as I always do, it's pretty much over. Oh geez, this is a hugely informative post thanks! I plan on tracing the pieces I hack off so I can make a new one if need be. I could even salvage the sleeves from this jacket and Frankenstein them onto a handmade one, right? The main reason I want to try this method is to preserve the collar, pockets, zipper and hem, which I can't readily replicate.

I think you should source all of your material from thrift shops, which would let you: -Immediately be able to present the bag as recycled, without including some sort of tag or explanation -give you the opportunity to practice with a bunch of different materials -save a bunch of money -support a local charity maybe -be an even greener option than having material shipped to you

You can harvest a lot of elastic out of bungee cords or grommet them and use laces

How complex is your design (including number of colors) and how perfect do you need it to come out? You can DIY with screen printing ink
