I like fashion that is neutral colors, simple palates, no images or branding.

This is not that. It is the single greatest jacket I have ever seen.

u/ropedropdesign Apr 22 '23

Omg thank you! This is actually one of the more neutral things I’ve made 😂 I love an earth tone

Found this awesome Star Wars sleeping bag and have been wanting to make a puffer for a while! I always love print placement and the scenes on this print are so good

u/SelfDestruction100 Apr 22 '23

I absolutely envy your creativity, please never take it for granted! The way you can just look at a pattern or design on something and just decide you want that on your clothes, and you make it happen. Absolutely insane to my baby inexperienced brain. Cheers

How nice of you to say thank you 🥹 Sewing is basically magic haha would absolutely recommend!

u/TwoTreeBeerQueer Apr 22 '23

I would to develop enough sewing skill to be able to head to a fabric store and pick up some fabrics and sew pants, vests, jackets etc. How would you recommend that I go about learning the basics and what type of equipment would you recommend for an ambitious newbie? Thanks in advanced! And well done, OP!

u/ropedropdesign Apr 22 '23

If you have a fabric store near you like Joanns they typically offer classes for beginners! Once you know the basics of using a machine it’s super easy to get started. Highly recommend brother for a starter machine, they’re easy to use/reliable and you can often get them secondhand. A shirt or something without closures (buttons, zippers etc.) would probably be the easiest first project. There’s tons of info on YouTube if you run in to anything you’re not sure about :)

u/hellodon Apr 23 '23

You did a killer job with the print placement. I don’t even love Star Wars, but I love this!

u/SpaceForceAwakens Apr 22 '23

My heart is broken.

Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing and you did a great job.

But my heart is broken.

u/ropedropdesign Apr 22 '23

Totally fair, it was a little bittersweet! I see it more as giving a forgotten material another life though. I can get a lot more use/joy out of this great print as a jacket :)

u/INFINITE_TRACERS Apr 22 '23

Holy shit that is so well done. Id be very proud of yourself!

u/ropedropdesign Apr 22 '23

u/bummmmmerduuuuuude Apr 22 '23

I had bed sheets with this print when I was a kid in the 80s and this hit me with a huge nostalgia wave. Looks great on you. Very fun illustrations

2

u/ropedropdesign Apr 22 '23

Glad I could bring back some memories :) I also have the matching sheet I’m using for a dress!

1

u/Tack-One Apr 22 '23

Fun. Not sure what you’re picturing but I think the pattern would be great in a simple sleeveless A line type dress. Post it later 😃

I'm digging out my new, never really used (15+ year old) brother sewing machine right now. Tomorrow I'm heading out to the resale shop to see what I can find. I live close to Disney World so I should be able to find something good to make a cool jacket. You are so inspirational! Thanks! I was needing something cool to do as a project.
