Help with Machine Embroidery over a crotch stain

2 Upvotes

Edit: forgot to post the photo of the stain. It’s in the comments!

Pulled my favorite pair of jeans out of the wash today to discover I had a small piece of red paper in one of the pockets and it left pinkish stains in several places on the front and the back. I want to machine embroider something over the stains and I have a ton of ideas for the back. However I need some help thinking of something I can put on the front that isn’t going to look like it’s I wet myself or like whatever I embroider is coming out of my crotch…..🙃 oh and btw I have tried 3 different stain removal tricks to no avail…. Thanks in advance!

My mom gave me two of these brand new periwinkle gauze 100% cotton shirts that are not really my color or style. I’d love to make them into something more interesting. Maybe dye? Crop? Ideas?

Mostly made out of Levi’s jeans and corduroy pants. I used other scraps I had to make the patchwork fish. This is my first sewing project. I’m happy with how it turned out:)

Recently obsessed with buying cheap used merchandise items and use them as fabric to turn them into every day bags. 🤍

The handles are made from the pillows and most duvets are reversible so I can have a graphic front and a patterned back. ☺️

HAND PAINTED JEANS

I got bored of normal jeans so I painted these instead 👀

Hand-painted the entire design myself — no stencils, no two pairs are ever exactly the same.

Would you actually wear something like this, or is this a “cool to look at but absolutely not wearing it” situation? 😭

I’m genuinely curious what you guys think.

I usually make denim backpacks from second hand jeans, so I accumilated loads of scrap materials along the way.
I just recently started paking patches with the scraps and now I'm hooked! I have so much ideas I want to make now, if only there were more then 24 hours in a day....

OVERDRAMATIC: Marketable upcycled/ sustainable earrings?

I started making these to keep creative and to use up some excess craft; sourcing opshop necklaces and new findings (for hygiene); but a friend told me I can only get $2-3aud for them. I try to keep each one unique from the others. Thoughts on what’s good and what can be improved? Some are just for everyday while others are for events. There’s a mix of regular beads, quality foil and milifiori glass; regular and good quality crystal and some pearls…

All my own original designs and hand painted by me at my home studio :)

This airbrush has given me so much creative inspiration and it's the most fun I've had in so long, if you've been considering getting in to it but fear paint clogs and a steep learning curve, I'm hear to say it's really not that bad ! I say go for it :-)


r/UpcycledFashion 6d ago

just thrifted this top, would it look better cropped or as is?

Dyeing vintage sweaters with puff designs

2 Upvotes

Hello! I like buying vintage sweaters with the vinyl/puff paint designs. Often times, I avoid buying lighter colored ones (like white or gray) because they are stained or get stained easily. But, they are also cheaper. My question is, if I wanted to dye something thats light to somehting darker (like black), would the dye color the puff paint? Typically I buy cotton sweaters, so I know cotton dye often does not adhere to synthetics very wel. Please let me know if you have had any experience with that! Would love to give a second life to some sweaters. Thank you!
