Hey im new to this forum, just found this site a week ago running through projects on instructionables (Which i found on the same day) Ive been telling everyone whos asked me what i want to do in the future that i wish to get into a list of things one being fashion though i have not done any DIY projects myself, Ive had thoughtup and designed projects that later my friend physically made because i dont have any knowledge or skill in that section... yet. So finding this site and forum i thought it would be the best place to start just skimming 2nd to actually working on DIY projects opposed to actually typing this. After I read through many threads and taken some mental ideas i came up with my own ideas in a suggestion/reply to one of my favorite threads: http://forum.threadbanger.com/showthread.php?t=128
I hope for some of you more experienced than me at this forum can review it and leave me feedback of my progress as of now having just started.
For those who dont want to click the link the overview of it was that i put in my 2cents of user: pinoyblaze's hoodie blazer that he created, which i've fallen in love with.
Well the reply of my idea and suggestion to his was:
Hey im new to this forum, new to DIY, always had great ideas, never knew how to sew so i ha my friend make all my ideas. I think im gonna start to learn to do it myself instead of thinking, but just for now before i start im gonna copy your blazer, hoodie idea. I have 13 blazers i bought from the local thrift shop on $1 day (13 blazers= $13 + tax). I think im gonna add a bit though. First a zipper under the collar, along with the other half on the detachble hoodie. Than the trickier part would be zipper on the inside cuffs to add the zipper operated detachable cuffs. They will be sewn corresponding colors of thread and zippers. In your case if you were to do the same, you would use black or gray thread and zipper. In the end you have a more retail-like design on this style of clothing. If it all works well when i try it. (if i ever do) Ill expand to creating my own hoods like what i saw in episode of "make your own hoodie" and add zippers to those, along with the matching inside cuffs of course. A standard zipper size and color would be best. than i can have interchangeable hood and cuffs for these sexy blazers. Different colors of hoods and cuffs sets, and the interior of the hood (and maybe cuff) could have patterns to better the look (like nowaday's fashion hoodies). You can use the same interior pattern and replace the backpockets of your jeans, or go as far as how they design the inside of the pockets of jeans (which i dont know why, most of the time i dont get to see it, no one else does either). Using the same patterns from the shirt (like a pinstripe pattern from a dress shirt) your wearing underneath to make the interior design of the set would be great to finish off the whole look. Of cours that would take two matching/identical shirts, one to actually wear and the other to design the rest of your clothes. You can probably get away with using a long sleeve, turn it into a wife-beater, or short sleeve by cutting the long pieces off cut the cuffs and zipper those to the inside of the blazer and dethread the long sleeves to get a flat fabric pattern to work with on the interior design.. With this project done you get a really cool new look, And the greatest part is, flip/pop up the collar and unzip the hood, roll down the sleeves and unzip the inside cuffs. Fold collar back down, roll sleeves back up, and your back to formal business-man, back to your office job, or next business interview.
Its fully detachable, and zippers hidden. (Im not to hyped up on this but i guess you can add a pocket pouch inside the blazer to fit your detachable set in if the pocket inside isnt large enough, or you plainly dont have pockets inside. It prevents using the pockets on the outside of the blazer because it would be puffy,bulgy,sticking out, etc. and no one really puts anything in them because it would ruin the look) I know this reply is long, Im just excited because im new, for that i apologize. -Tama
