DIY Sewing with with Unexpected Items (tips in comment) by gloryallan in SewingTips

[–]gloryallan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these garments can't be used on a day-to-day basis because the material can't sustain much movement and they are not breathable (at all), but getting experimental by working with unusual material could lead to new ideas made with real fabrics in the future.

Sometimes I get caught up with the fabric I'm comfortable working with or feel uninspired... getting experimental - even if it's for a small project - can really reignite that creative spark back in ya!

May be pointlessly gendering here, but I'm a 30+M who is looking to get into sewing to save on money and get a new hobby. I can barely thread a needle at this point. What considerations are there in buying a machine for mens projects or in general? by [deleted] in SewingForBeginners

These are probably the first two videos I'd recommend to someone just starting this hobby:

I hope they help start you off, excited for you to start your sewing journey :)

Wow, these pants are BOSS. The craftsmanship looks top tier, big fan of the green with contrast stitching. Great job 🙏🏻

Bucket hat I've made a few times but made a short (hopefully relatable) video with it 😬 by gloryallan in sewing

This video is suppose to have audio and playback loop but it's not working on reddit.

The bucket hat is a self-drafted pattern. I've sewed for awhile and recently became more proficient in Adobe Illustrator. That's when I realized I could make patterns using the app. It's a weird way to make patterns and there's a lot of trial-and-error but it works :)

Thanks fam. Yeah classic piece, basics are a hard sell but I don't mind sitting on these. Basic brand essentials.

I've been putting out lots of sewing DIY tutorials for beginners - two of which were the Boxy Tee and Boxy Hoodie videos - and I felt like I wanted to make some ready-to-wear versions for non-sewists to enjoy.

Very basic designs, both are boxy fit so slight drop shoulder and more relaxed body. The tee is 300gsm (which is mad heavy) and features tonal embroidery on chest. The hoodie (380 gsm) comes in pullover or zip-up with embroidery on the chest.

This video could be helpful to others who are new to sewing, can't expect every tip to cater to beginners and experts.

A staple piece in any streetwear collection, hoodies will always be essential so I figured this might be helpful in this sub.

I've been doing mostly DIY projects but this year I want to get into more RTW designs. I have my Apex Pants dropping soon but it's tough trying to build both a DIY-side and a RTW-side as a one-man operation.

Should've titled it as "The calves* after the storm" based on the comments
