homemade/custom clothes

Do any of you guys do this? I've only recently got into this, but its actually lots of fun and rewarding (when you do it right and use strong velcro when needed...eh emz? ) And you know you've got something totally unique to wear out and you know how it's been made.

Just wondered if anyone else did this and what kinda stuff you've made?

last time I tried those g-strings made from barbed wire, :/ not nice when they started rising.

Jokes aside, I know someone who does make their own gear and they are really into it, must have a whole new wardrobe every other month.

I used to make my own clothes. Made a blumming cool t-shirt out of a duvet cover and bits of black fur.

I've made a few t-shirts with that epson TV shirt printer kit with some choice phrases and what not

As for actally making clothes... I've never tried it but hmmm velcro pants ... I'm sure the missus would like them

Cheers for the idea

Made myself a pair of cut-off's aqnd cut the sleeve's off some t-shirts but never made my own, all my shirts come from wickedjester and tshirt hell now anyway so very few people have the same as me, only ever seen one person wearing the same shirts

t-shirt hell

I've got a few from there. Quality clothing and some great t-shirts

My other half is always "modding" her clothes

I think she made herself some bags to go with a dress the other day - all very spangly.

I made my own velcro tshirt - £2 for the shirt, 75p for some velcro and £6 for 2 packs of letters - a lot cheaper than the £20 with 1 pack of letters
I even have 2 lines
made my own drumming outfit by cutting sleves from a tee and ankles from some combats - I'm so nu metal right now

i've got a fair few pairs of shorts that used to be trousers, i just chop em when the bottoms start to get tatty. i'm also knitting myself a headband at the moment, as i should be gettin dreadlocks 2morrow and i need summat to keep em out my face.
peace

Never wear that skirt again unless you sort out the velcro fi! My word the trips to the toilet we made! *lol*

I've made a few clothes, i need inspriation to get into it tho, otherwise i just dont bother

[Elmo]

i made myself a funky black and neon pink tutu type skirt with matching bandana but the valcro i used to do it up isnt very strong and eventhough i had my corset on over the top, every time i sat down it opened! so i'll have to get round to sorting it out with a zip. I'm also gunna mod a pair of my jeans that i managed to rip. Havent decided how yet. But i have plans for many more alterations now i've found out my mum has a sewingmachine hiding away in the house!

[sweuzo]

use a button... i haven't actually made anything, but some of the things people are making and selling on ebay are wicked.

htpp://www.livejournal.com/users/alt_boutique i think is where i seen a gorgeous dress which unfortunately sold for like $100 on ebay, i wanted.

I made a transfer saying 'I love my wife' and stuck it onto a white t-shirt which I proudly sported around London...does that count?

[TechnoKitty]

I would... but *someone* has my sewing machine

I expect a skirt

[Elmo]

lol, vix, i would, but i've got no time before i go home i'll see what i can do in the 2 weeks i'm at home oh you can have your sewing machine back now if you like hehe fankyoo!

[Hidden Spirit]

I've got a great big piece of black velvet and green velvet waiting on me doing something with them, but it would be hand sewing for me as I haven't got a machine

Only thing I've actually made from scratch is some hair scrunchies
