I want to make pink military clothing. Would it be easier to remove color (assuming the fabric is cotton) and dye it or sew them from scratch?
>>2945944winter/urban camo + dyeorpink camo fabric + sewyou're not going to get that nice clean camo pattern by hand, not even the old school blobs. you could hand paint with fabric paint if it's just a one off thing but it wouldn't be good to wear.also this is nothing new there is a lot of pink camo product already, I mean it's /diy/ but I already question your ability to sew or dye anything.
>>2945944Are you making new uniforms for Zelensky? It's missing the buttplug and tail. uWu
>>2945950I want it to be plain pink, no camo.>but I already question your ability to sew or dye anything.I never said I knew how to do it. If I need to learn something to get it done, I'll learn it.
>>2945944>>2945983Does it need to be a specific cut of uniform or simply any kind of generically recognizable military clothing? If you want a solid pink color with zero camouflage pattern it's probably easier to start with a solid color uniform. You should be able to find a set of khaki BDUs by a company like Propper, Tru-Spec, or Rothco and dye it to an acceptable color pretty easily. The gear queer thread at >>>/k//gq/ likely has good information on what's currently available on the market and on how to sew your own uniform to spec with solid pink fabric of an appropriate quality.
>>2946037>Does it need to be a specific cut of uniform or simply any kind of generically recognizable military clothing?For starters basic BDU like picrel, if it works out then some additional gear like buttpack or holster, nothing extraordinary I think.>and dye it to an acceptable color pretty easilySo basically I could use something like this https://www.tintex.ca/en-ca/products/color-remover or just a bleach to lighten the khaki color, and then try to dye it pink?>The gear queer thread at >>>/k//gqI will check it out, thanks.
>>2946060Get a lighter khaki (pic related) and you won't have to lighten it much, if at all. I don't know much about fabric recoloring but certain fabric compositions are easier to lighten and dye than others (there are different dyes with different directions on the box for natural versus synthetic fibers, for instance). BDU uniforms are commonly available in cotton, cotton-nylon, and cotton-polyester fabrics. /gq/ should be somewhat familiar with dyes. Is this for cosplay (>>>/cgl/ btw) or will it need to hold up to specific usage? Depending on what kind of soft kit you're after you might find it already pink or you might find options in natural or light khaki cotton canvas that'll be very easy to dye. /gq/ can help you find materials for making your own if it comes to that.
