Sewing and designing your own clothes has become a niche within the craft industry, and for good reason. It's through the clothes we wear that we can signal to the world who we are. And what better way to do this than by making your own clothes?
In our shop you can find both shoulder pads and trouser pockets, which can help create a great look with some sharp edges from the shoulder pads or a more practical element in the form of some good and durable trouser pockets. Whatever design you're going for, you can find both shoulder pads and trouser pockets with us.
How to use shoulder pads in your designs
Many of those who were young in the 80s probably remember the shoulder pads and have promised themselves that they will never wear an outfit with these again. But there's absolutely no need to fear shoulder pads.
Especially if you're planning to sew a jacket or coat. In fact, it can be a real hassle to create a nice, rounded shoulder in a jacket if you don't use shoulder pads, which will ultimately compromise the fit and look of the jacket or coat.
So shoulder pads can be a huge help if you're trying to sew a piece of outerwear that needs to fit properly. And of course, no one is saying you should go for the very largest, as they did in the 80s. In fact, shoulder pads come in many sizes, so if you want a more understated look, just go for a smaller model.
Make your designs practical with some good trouser pockets
While one of the most fun things about sewing your own clothes is that you can play with the expression of the design, which is possible with the shoulder pads, which add some extra edge and create a stylish look, you can't completely ignore the practical elements of your home-made clothes.
An important part of a good pair of jeans are the trouser pockets, but if you don't have a soft fabric at home, it can be difficult to get the pockets just right. Luckily, our shop stocks a pair of ready-made trouser pockets that just need to be sewn into your trousers. This makes it super easy to sew a great, durable pair of trouser pockets.
Your retailer for shoulder pads and trouser pockets
When sewing, it's hugely important to be able to find the right tools to create exactly the designs you have in mind. As with our many other sewing tools, you'll also find a great selection of shoulder pads and trouser pockets with us. The shoulder pads come in a wide range of sizes, so you can decide whether you want to exude 80s style or prefer a more modern look.
The shoulder pads are available in both black and white, so you can match them to your design. You'll also find some great trouser pockets, which can make your next creative project both easier to get perfect, as well as ensuring that your trousers will be practical with a good pair of trouser pockets.
