Clothing idea

[curgoth]

I was just thinking about my favourite tank top (the one with Sapiosexual on the
front), and how the shirt is getting a little faded and worn out. Before too
long, I'll end up having to retire it, and since it was part of a limited run,
there won't be a new one coming.

I had the idea, then, of taking the logo from the front, and stitching it into
the front of a new tank top, leaving the edges of the seams facing outwards and
rough. I could also rescue the fun parts of another shirt or two into this for
a sort of ragged punkish shirt thing, maybe some sort of PVC or fishnet
panelling along the sides.

Anyone have an idea if something like that would have a chance of working?

I discovered this because my friend glitterlust did something perhaps similar to what you have in mind...

absolutely. it should work fine. the only issue you would have is if the sapiosexual material is turning rotten, in which case stitches might pull through it. Even then you could iron on some interfacing first to make it more reliable.

I've never tried. The Torah forbids it.


But that wasn't the reason I never tried.

Ooh tht might be neat!! Fun project!

You could also try recreating it with a transfer or something??

The question is not, will it work. The question is, will it work on someone. I think the answer is yes.
