FINALLY GOT THESE DAMN PANTS BACK FROM THE TAILOR, the pants from this post lads and ladies!

damn maybe I shoulda ironed them, haven’t been washed in forever, they look rougher in these photos then they actually are

My stiches have slightly gotten a bit more orderly, this pair was like the first I ever started messing with a few years ago

They look kinda small but are actually super nice and worn in, so they have nice stretch, especially in the crotch area. Very roomy and baggy! They are pretty short tho so they don’t cover my ankles

basically my ideal jeans are baggy in the crotch and tight in the legs, thats why I used to buy a lot of girl jeans (which was/is always hubris because not a lot of baggy in the place I want the most)

oh yeah and these and anything else I’ve posted are also hand dyed because I fucking can never find anything I want in fun colors. I use fabric pens, acrylic paint/leather paint/spray paint/nail polish for everything else you see on these jeans

Update on my Campbell Bain hoodie if anyone is interested.

Cried because getting the colors exactly right is impossible (I can’t find good quality references pictures and than match a fabric dye to it)

So these colors will have to do.

Every part is dyed now.

But the yellow ish sleeve is still drying.

And I may or may not have lost the black panel……

I’ll find it again at some point. Hopefully.

Also the hoodie was a white hoodie I got at a local store, I took of the pocket (and used that fabric to test the dye), cut it up, and dyed it.

The dye I used is Rits all purpose dye, black, marigold, tangerine and brown

I mixed a little bit of brown into the tangerine to make it a bit darker.

The purple is from a tie dye kit from Amazon.

The beginnings of some experimentation with the dyeballs! Found 3 suitable friends in the park this morning and heres a look at the prepping process.

I used only one for this first test (2nd photo) using them fresh. The rest will be dried and tested in future experiments. They were thinly sliced and any excess spore powder on the older one was cut away. Its the black colored flesh around the peridioles (the lil yellow bits, they're like packets where spores are produced) that imparts the pigment. Then they were simply boiled in 4 cups of water!

I'll post updates on how the tests go and give details on fabric types and timing!!

Pros and cons of dying my denim jacket black with paint and nail polish remover:

PROS:

Two sections of my jacket are now (somewhat patchily) dyed black without having to go to michaels and buy a (7$) container of dye :]

CONS:

My bathroom smells like nail polish remover

I broke a sponge brush

I just realized that the nail polish remover is flammable

I have significantly less paint then when I started

My bathroom does really smell like mail polish remover

I made a video about bleach tie dyeing. Working on a couple other too.

The dress ( I made and it looks better when not on the floor)

The test strip:

Now the dye did leech a little but the red covers it up pretty well

Question: do you give your new cloths a good handwash after you bought them, and BEFORE putting them on for the first time?

Because the dye that comes out of industrial produced cloths (even when cotton and fair etc) is disgusting.
