Hi there /fa/, how would one go about making your own patterned clothes?
I recently found a leaf with a pattern I absolutely love (pic related) and I would love to make a coat or t-shirt or something with that design on it.
I know there is a site called Spoonflower which I am looking at, but my main concern for now is: how do I save this pattern? Do I just take a picture of the leaf and use that? Do I scan the leaf? Press it? Photoshop a picture? Obviously the leaf will die soon so time is of the essence.
Also, what material would I need? Cotton for tees obviously, but for a jacket or a coat?
Some 150kg idiot stepped on my suede shoes and now they are dirty as hell. How do I clean them? I bought a brass suede brush because the internet told me so, but after the first stroke I have the impression that it only destroys the leather. What do? Can I make it wet or will that just spread the dirt evenly?
