Space…the final frontier…of altered clothing. Check out this cool tutorial I found: DIY Galaxy Pants. Prudence & Austere even offer a step-by-step tutorial with step-out photos. Very handy for getting the paint layering right.
This might be a cool effect to try on a black t-shirt, too.

Pink Hickey on Craftster made this amazing, incredible, fantastic, dragon dress. She gave a tutorial on how to make it, tailored to yourself and all. I’ve had this pinned to my Clothing board for as long as I’ve had Pinterest, and the only thing stopping me from owning this dress is getting hold of the fabric – “Shibuki Dragon” The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection 2007. An endeavour worth the effort, if her results are anything to go by!
There was a period of time where I had many a bag that was being held together by the sheer level of patches, and buttons holding it together. Now-a-days these decorate my badges, and convention totes. But these patches from Storied Threads make me think I’m gonna need a bigger tote.
They have so many options something is likely to tickle your fancy. You could take a trip down to engineering.
Or you could be dealing with the fact that Winter is Coming.
The shop has hundreds of patches, from all corners of geekery. All of them.
Hi there! You may have already seen my first post. I’m one of the new writers and you’ll hearing from me on Thursday morning. Time to formally introduce myself!
My name is Emma. I’m living with my gamer boyfriend and pet hamster Sasha near Amsterdam, The Netherlands and I’m majoring in bioinformatics. One day, I hope to cure the downfalls of old age, win a Nobel prize, become a loving mother and write a bestseller. (In no particular order.)
I’ve been a geek for as long as I remember, but only started crafting a few years ago. I hope working with all of you will give us the necessary inspiration and kick in the ass to make something beautiful! I love cooking and baking, perler beading, papercrafting, reading long, tedious science fiction and fantasy books, writing short, wacky science fiction and fantasy books, watching anime on my best friend The Beamer, going swimming and fiddling with clothing.
What will all those posts be about? Currently, I can’t get enough of Star Trek, but I also love Harry Potter, literature in general, Pokémon, retro gaming, anything made by or inspired by Japan, stuff you can eat, cartoons and everything science.
Mischief managed!
After being heavily involved with historical reenactment for 19 years, I can appreciate great costuming, both in the time spent in its creation and the money invested. Costuming done right is a labor of love. One of my favorite “fun” types of costuming has to be faeries. There are no set rules, just let your mind run free!
sairosaurus on Craftster has shared her faerie creations. What is even better is that as you read through this thread, not only do you get to see some fantastic photos but she goes into her creative process for several bits and pieces of her costumes. She discusses how she made her goblin shoes, a goblin latex mask as well as her faerie wings. Her work is amazing!
