DIY'ing for beginners
Oi oi.
From my understanding, back in the days before Hot Topic and Blue Banana and other 'dark stores' it was quite the norm to make and mend your own clothing.
This is sadly a tradition in decline. It's much for average John Smith's like me to pop online and buy a crate-load of cheap tat with 'gothic' stapled to the price tag.
Anyway. I'd quite like to have a crack a making my own gothic clothing. Unfortunately I have a rare condition known as 'stupid hands' where even the most simple of tasks become impossible because of appauling hand-eye co-ordination.
So I thought it would be nice to start with something easy? And work my way up until I can make and mend my own clothing.
I'm planning on going to Exeter soon, for some essential clothing, plain black shirts, black trousers that arn't demin or are very -very- baggy.
And I thought I would swing by the Real McCoy (the one stop shop for all your clothing needs) and buy a cheap leather jacket there.
Dirt cheap, 10 quid and you get the buscuit crumbs in the pockets thrown in for free.
I thought a leather jacket would be rather a fun project, and it sounded quite simple.. Just... Glueing things to it?
So if anyone can point me in the direction of a 'n00b friendly' goth DIY guide, I would be eternally grateful.
Over and out.
