    Hey Avery, I don't have a sewing machine but I've done very basic shit by just cutting up some pants in the past. I remember one night at like 2AM I took some jeans that I don't wear and just cropped them with scissors, I now cuff them up once and have a frayed look on them. Think I'm gonna do more shit like that with jeans I buy from second hand shops. Why am I writing this

    • @GearedTowardGear

    The timing was perfect on this upload! I've been doing some small and dumb lil diy's on some pants, Jeans and shoes and your videos have been what really inspired me to do so. I've been a big fan for a while and I've loved watching the Chanel grow, keep up the amazing work! Thanks for the inspiration!

    • @GearedTowardGear

    Another phenomenal video. I noticed that really nice ring you're wearing on your left hand - any chance you could make a video about rings or general men's jewelry?

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому +1

      Thanks man, that lil guy is a pair of rings I found buried deep in my house haha. They are silver horse rings that were left by the previous owner 20+ years ago. Crazy. I love jewelry but have the hardest time finding any online. Hopefully if I go to more shows and find other sources, I can put something together for ya!

    @jackmerz4467 7 років тому

    Yo Avery, my aunt gave me these insane ralph suede cargos from the 90s most likely. They're a size 36 though and I'm like a 30 haha. I noticed you had a similar issue with your 36s. Do you think there's any chance I could have them brought in?

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому +1

      Jack Merz I think it depends on how much excess fabric is at the backseam for a seamstress to work with. I bet someone could professionally bring them in 2 inches and then you belt it the rest. But it may look a lil scrunched! Still totally worth trying, that's an awesome find! If they do look a like wrapped up check out the latest Martine Rose show for some inspiration on how to work with it.

    • @jackmerz4467

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому +1

      Great idea^ You could also add more fabric and use some crazy pattern, but too much and it'll look flared. If you havent yet cut out the excess then you can rip out the seam and retry!

    • @copperjawn
      @copperjawn 7 років тому

      might mess around and add a strip of wild fabric to the outside of each legs up to where the cargo pocket starts. i feel like if i added fabric to the inseam it would look whack. thanks for the tips bruv. cheers from philly.

  • @elif4068
    @elif4068 7 років тому

    Try doubling the thread and tying a knot at the end, then pull the next stitch through that knot creating a loop around the fabric. That way it won't come off

  • @michaellewis1090
    @michaellewis1090 7 років тому

    For the buttons, because you're using a less than ideal needle, just try tie your knot at the end multiple times on top of each other , basically creating a thicker knot. :)

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому

      Great tip! That needle was less then ideal 😩 I'll have to pick some others up when I head back

    To make buttons holes you do need practice but its easy to learn. First you need a good machine that preferably has a button hole setting. Especially one that can handle heavy fabrics like your jacket. I'm not sure what machine you have but if it does have a setting for button holes then you are good to go to start practicing if you have the manual or can look up a video I'm sure there are plenty out there. And for the buttons try to use a smaller needle and force it through with pliers or some way like that (thats all I can think of at the moment) but also double your thread (fold the thread in half and stick the folded part of the thread through the eye of the needle). That way the stitching will be stronger and it will literally be four times faster.

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому

      Thanks for the awesome tips! My machine does do button holes but only a small size, thats a great thing to keep in mind!

    • @GearedTowardGear
      @GearedTowardGear  7 років тому

      It all depends on the material! I would need to test it out on mine because it was some plasticky slippery outer. I think acrylic may crack, but it's worth trying!
