madPete Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Decided I wanted a new color waistcoat. A little longer than the old one. Made this from some linen curtains found at Goodwill. Haven't decided on buttons yet... Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madPete Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 I always make a new something before an event. It gets me excited about the event. Unfortunately I'm gonna look too new, so I need to mix it up with old stuff or leave it out in the sun to fade or something. I'm always makin my own stuff from recycled linen when I have this stash of fabric for SlopsByChaaps... ff Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stynky Tudor Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 23 hours ago, madPete said: Unfortunately I'm gonna look too new If you're interested, there's a couple ways we can distress and dirty things up without compromising the garment. The easiest way is to brush on/apply a little Ben Nye's (Clean) Dirt Makeup, it's not permanent and washes off/out. I've got a bunch of this stuff (black, brown and mixed) that I'm not going through as fast I though I would - I can bring some to Tooele. The other process is more complicated, takes time to prep, apply and dry - its very permanent. It's a standard theater style dirt bath/watered down acrylic paint wash. I've used on a lot of my clothes and even my tent. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
