Tips for Noobs to Making Clothes???

Hi All,

I've been playing around with making clothes and am having fun with it. I am but a mire ameture compared to many but still love playing around with photoshop and making clothes. Found yet more great info on things to do today and love the real sense of community everyone has shown here.

What I am running into now is some of my SL friends are now wanting to learn how to make clothes as well. I'd love to see what they can do but some are extremely low in their knowledge of image programs to others doing a lot better. I often times am telling people to download the templates and start by simply making a t-shirt. That is easy for some that can work a program and they grow from there but others simply don't even know how to change their working color much less about saving from a jpg to a gif to a tga so on and so fourth. It does get frustrating for me at times but I also don't want to just put people out.

So..
Does anyone know of a good place to send people to for basic tutorials on making clothes?

yep, right here.

Also-- check this same forum for Chip Midnight's excellent free templates, they're much more detailed than the default templates. (Different versions appear in several threads.) Someone in another thread also suggested uploading the templates as textures, and using them to make clothing, so you can see where the lines fall on your av... I've found this invaluable for getting lines, shoulders, etc. correct.

Thank you much for the tutorial. I will pass that along. As for the templates, I've been using those from the beginning. Much much better then the default ones from LL.

Thanks again!
