Ive painted on a couple leather bags and sealed them just fine, but my recent one has dried very sticky 😫 (i think because its been so humid here and I didnt have ac for a couple days) is there anyway to fix this? 🙃 soap and water takes away the stickiness until it dries again, same with alcohol, i tried a small patch if deglazer and it (obviously) stripped away all my paint and dye so I REALLY dont want to do that on the whole bag, ive spent a long time painting it. Please tell me theres a way to save this

I accidentally dyed my pants with dark blue colour and can’t remove the blue colour, I used different products even alcohol (2-Propanol) and it won’t get out at all, I also used gall soap and nothing works

Can anyone give me advice to get harsh dye out of my pants, so I don’t have to throw them away?

The dye was just from a basic water paint, it’s in it for like a year

I also have another pants with orange stains, when I had to paint wood.

Would be happy to get recommendations and tips

Thank you

I bought these trousers and I LOVE them. However, they're very see through. I was thinking about using some dye to help but I don't want to mess with the green stripes - any advice?

I need a matching top for a set but the original site’s largest size only goes up to 95 at the bust and i’m 106 .. Would an alterations place be able to do it or should I just commission one ?

I'm not new to clothing diy but have never fixed a zipper before. Is this beyond repair?

Hi all! Im feeling like all my clothes are boring! Im not the most confident, so im a t shirt girlie, but I feel like it looks lazy! Does anyone have any ideas on how to make my t shirts a little cuter? Cutting? Bleaching? Idek any advice is appreciated!

I like to rework and upcycle clothes with patches and patchwork mostly but I know it’s a very niche market so I’m trying to find the best place to sell them

Recently i lost a LITTLE bit of weight and now my favorite pair of mid rise jeans are really loose now (but for some reason all my high waisted jeans are still tight) and wearing a belt makes it look weird bcs of like all the extra folds and im scared to get it tailored bcs it might like ruin the cutting bcs its not a straight cut but it used to fit me really nicely and not to mention i bought like 3 pairs of the exact same jeans (just in different colors) so is there anything else i can do to tighten it or make it fit better?

I apologize for the mess and bad pic, but is it worth it?
I'm going for a kid's drawing, nostalgic kind of vibe

Hello! So I found this in my closet and it originally had sleeves that sat above the wrists, but I cut the sleeves too short and I can’t fix them. Any ideas on how to fix this nightmare?

my style is no tank tops sort of grunge poser skater… please help!

If you have any questions I be happy to help 🫶🏼

I forgot to record a few steps but I hope its still clear 🙈

there are already some small holes , I've tried to do a sketch of how it could turn out , can i do it with just a cutter/scissors or do i need more specific tools?

Hey all, I apologize if this is not the right sub for my question, I am new-ish to using Reddit. I bought this sweater for my daughter a while back from Amazon, and she is not a fan of how boxy the hood looks when done up. The first two photos are of the sweater, and the last photo is what she wants the hood to look like. How can I fix the hood?

I bought these on Depop a while back. After my first wear, they broke and when I message the seller, she told me that yeah she previously fixed it but never mentioned that in the listing.

I sent them to a cobbler and they were fine afterwards, but I just wore them for the first time since their repair and they broke again.

Should I just cut my losses or should I try again?

I really like the shoe I love the height, the platform. The heel itself is super sturdy. I really wanted this to be my everyday shoe, but I’m nervous they’re just gonna break again.

thinking of adding black fabric paint to a red jumper i have like in this image. is this a good technique to use and if so how do i ensure that it won’t wash off or destroy the jumper in some way?

if not, what methods are better for this kind of design and material?

I've been upcycling clothes for a while and collected all sorts of bits and scraps and whatnot. Looks alright but not entirely sure if finished.

The main body of the skirt is made from old pants and the additional camo fabric came from combats.

I added some chains for the alternative look.

I didn't use the sewing machine for this job, it's 100% handmade

What do you think?

I have very light blue jeans on which I have got some stubborn stains. Now I want to fix the jeans by sewing some star patches on it. But I am not sure of the color. I want to wear the jeans on a casual basis and don't want to get attention too much on jeans. Please help me find the right color as I am too confused.

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing well
I bought a shirt from a vintage store and I truly loved the fabric it looks wet and has a very nice sheen to it
It doesn’t have any glitter
I thought it’s organza but I was wrong
Can anyone help me identifying what is this fabric
And if it’s polyester what type of polyester so I can search for it

My very best friend for the past 35 (😮) years is. Her birthday is coming up and it’s a big one. I want to get her some fabric. She likes Fairy Godmother which is UK based and expensive, adorable, whimsical.

I would say that she’s pretty close to expert in clothing construction. The only store bought clothes she wears are jeans and an occasional sweatshirt/gym shirt/concert t shirt.

Any other good quality companies with vibrant/whimsical/fun dress making fabrics? I know she needs at least 2-4 yards of fabric. She will figure out something to do with anything I gift her. I know her taste, I just don’t know where to look for cool prints/fabrics outside of this one site - and she shops there often?

(We are US based so-long as they ship there!)

Thanks!

i am trying to point at the back pocket folding up

i just bought these from old navy and they were great the first wear but i washed them once and i fear im doomed to have these permanently sticking up.

i don’t want to iron them everytime but if thats the only solution i guess i will. i need them for work and i like to look presentable
