Today I started hand-sewing a shirt. I made the whole entire thing from scratch, with white fabric. Hand-sewn. No machine. Took me about an hour and a half in all.

Now I feel pretty awesome. I've always been interested in traditional punk clothing, and I can finally make it from scratch. The shirt is very crudely sewn, but that's how it's supposed to look. It's a bondage shirt, the kind you'd see at the shops Seditionaries/SEX/Let It Rock. See http://only-anarchists.co.uk/ for what stuff looked like.

It's not completely done, however. I still need to add little D-rings on the shoulders, slash some bits of it up, make it look more destructed. And bondagey. And also print an Anarchy symbol on the front of it. My next project will essentially be the same, only the shirt will be black and say "Too Fast To Live, Too Young to Die." It will say the Live part on top, and then there will be a Skull & Cross-bones, and then say the Die part.

Anyway, has anyone had any recent accomplishments?

i've got a little project of my own, but it is WAY more political! propaganda for free software so to speak. I'm still trying to acquire the necessary material though... where i live plush isn't easy to find, as it is much too hot! check it out here (http://free-penguin.org/)

Yes, I know how it feels: once I made a scarf knitting.

I planned to give it to my girlfriend as a present, but I'm a little lazy, so I didn't work to it so much and finally it took me 7 years to finish my scarf!

I broke up with that girl about 6 years before finishing my present and the new girl, who now I live with, wouldn't accept a present I made for another one, of course. :-)

So I gave away my beautiful scarf to a gipsy beggar ans started knitting another one...
I hope I'll finish it a little faster, this time!
:-D

The link only anarchy isn't working for me :)

Also put it on a model or wear it! Kinda hard to see the shape of it - I don't actually know what kind of punk t-shirt you're making.

I guess I'll have to start knitting ;) Great stuff, this business of making your own clothing!
