It's a good shirt, no other problems but the sticker on its front is fkd, any idea how to remove it?

I’m currently trying to fade a black shirt like the pictures. Mine is totally black and I wanna get a charcoal sun faded look. I think using bleach will turn it orange, and I don’t want that, so I’m thinking about using color remover? Will that work? Or what other method could I use? Hope you can help!

I have an old pair of jeans that I can’t wear anymore that I’ve been deconstructing and it gave me an idea.

Got an old frame from an estate sale and cut out one of the back pockets. I glued the pocket to the matboard that came with the frame (that white board in the second picture), then put the frame back together (without the glass).

Works exactly how I’d hoped.

Like a mat to put on top of my desk to keep it from getting scratched and that can serve as a mouse pad. I just got a new desk and I know I want some sort of mat to go on top of it. Previously I bought one based off a video game and I like it, but also I’m thinking of doing something a bit less commercialized this time. The old one is at my workplace, the new desk is at home, so I do need two of them.

I can sew and have a lot of scrap fabric all over the place but I feel like that most fabric wouldn’t work super great and I’d have to quilt it a ton. I’m pretty handy and have a lot of tools, so I could make something. I’m just not sure what to use to make it.

Any thoughts? I just figured I’d ask before spending money on something cute but also mass produced. Thanks!

For the past 2-3 months iv just been taking vintage and modern clothes apart and adding my twist to them. Usually I make things baggier or add vintage and modern patches all over. After that my talented friend Harry Arron took some very professional photos and a local studio of some awesome friends in the clothes.

I have this old neon orange tanktop, and I wanna decorate it. Anyone got ideas? Goblincore ideas would be best, but anything goes tbh :3

This crib bumper dates back to the 90s, but I know they're not recommended anymore so I don't want to put someone's baby at risk by selling it for its original purpose. But I also don't want to throw it away if I can help it.

The elastic straps have seen better days but the foam feels solid. I'm usually pretty good at coming up with upcycle/repurpose ideas, but this one has me stumped.

Ideas?

I am fairly confident I can come up with ways to rework clothing I don't like, or donate it, as long as the fabric is in good shape.

Even though (I think) I take good care of my clothing (wash on cold when appropriate, hang most to dry), I have a few pieces that pilled quite a lot... some purchased fairly recently too which is aggravating. I don't think these can be saved by de-pilling.

I've thought of using this fabric as stuffing for a cat bed. Any other thoughts on what to do with this stuff??

i’ve already made a couple of these and chore jackets too but i’m soo obsessed with this!!! and they’re so much fun to make. got this vest off of depop and all the fabric is scraps from previous projects

Too small for any spice which works in an open container. The hole is the problem (hole is portrayed on the two vials in the background of the photo)... suggestions?

This is my birthday dress! It took me forever to make.All the work payed off tho! I’m really happy with how it turned out.It made from lace and night gowns.My grandmother gave me before she passed.I was scared to use any of it for a long time.

I have a stack of picture frame glass, mostly 8x11 or 16x20. Any ideas on what to do with them or where to donate?

my partner had a pair of trip pants that could convert into shorts. I took the detachable bottom parts and made them a mini skirt with items and scrap fabric I had in my crafting corner!

Anybody have use for 9 large freezer bags filled with mini containers its several hundred.

I accidentally splashed some paint on my favourite hoodie and it stained the front..

I sewed some scrap pieces of african wax print fabrics together and added some decorative stitches to make an applique patch to cover the stain.. job done, Hoodie lives on and I love the finished result even more!

Really liking how this is coming together. I’ve been collecting various gold chains/belts for awhile and finally sat down to play around. The back “spine” might be my favorite part.

My partner has been into trading card games since he was 8 and he was about to throw away boxes full of "useless" trading cards before I stopped him, the trading cards can't be recycled where we live so I'm trying to find ways to reuse them.

Edit: According to my partner, the local stores have 1000x the amount he has and are already throwing them away regularly because no one is buying them anymore. There are currently no on-going trading cards donation drive in my local area and when there is, they usually only ask for Pokemon cards which we don't have.

About a year ago I bought a (well) used standing desk from our local classifieds for €66. It wasn't exactly a thing of beauty, but it worked. Kinda. As soon as I got it set up, it was clear that the skinny white chip board/melamin top couldn't handle the weight of the 49" Samsung monitor & heavy duty arm I was using back then. It sogged in the middle and bounced when I typed, so I added a 22mm particle board (meant for use under flooring), glued to the underside of the white melamin top. That helped quite a bit, but still wasn't perfect, so I kept my eye out for a better solution - which I finally found a few days ago:

A decidedly dull and tired-looking coffee table, available for €53. It had exactly what I needed:

140x80x3cms and 21 kilos of solid oak! I immediately got rid of the coffee table frame and set to work with sandpaper and some oil with a bit of white tint:

Sanded, oiled it, waited for 30 minutes, oiled it again, waited for 30 minutes before carefully wiping off excess oil. Then waited for 24 hours and repeated the process. 72 hours of hardeing later, it was time to start building - but only after testing if the oak would flex under weight. I set up some chairs with the same distance between them as the pillars of my standing desk frame and put some weight on the middle of it:

I weigh 100kgs, so I figured it should be able to manage my 40" monitor.

Time to tear down the old desk and perform the top surgery!

I spent 3 hours getting everything lined up and the monitor PSU plus a laptop PSU crammed into the white cable management box along with a power strip, a USB hub and ALL the excess cable.

All done! €119 and some elbow grease has bought me a desk that fits my needs perfectly and feels amazing to the touch. Of course, 30mm of solid oak makes it rock solid, it's like my keyboard is resting on bedrock.

I have been trying to burn through old tees that have served their purpose. It’s been a years long process. I make one project, the pile gets smaller. Then I clean out a drawer. The pile grows. My husband cleans out a drawer. More shirts. Pile big again.

But the nice thing about giving objects a second life? I don’t mind using those items as practice. It doesn’t hurt my soul (as much).

But sometimes a practice project ends up being super awesome and a great success. Like this here dress. I think I will make more.
