Thread: Zeppelin clothes project

  1. #1

    Zeppelin clothes project

    Decided to have a go at modifying clothes having found it very difficult to find things I like and can wear. Most mens clothing seems to be fairly dull and uninteresting.
    First thing I'm having a go at is a hoodie, I've started with a plain black zip front hoodie and sewn two strips of black fabric tape with eylets in from the front of the hood over the top and down to the neck then laced them together. Planning to do the same down both arms. Current issue is all the eyes are coming out the fabric. Am looking at gluing them in, thought about sewing them but I really like the look of the silver eyelet on the black fabric plus there are 40 eyelets on the hood now and sewing would take an age.

    Eyelets all glued into hood tapes and seem to be secure. Started to glue eyelets into remaining tape but ran out of superglue, that's a whole bottle used. May have enough glued to do first strip down sleeve. Need more glue plus need more cord as I seriously underestimated how much I would need.

    First strip sewn to first sleeve, 3 more to go. May be sewing at decent speed by then.

    First sleeve done, maybe not as straight as it could have been but doesn't really notice.
    Hopefully won't be too much longer till it's finished.

    it's good so far, think the hood works better than the sleeve though. Will do the other one, done too much not to now.
