Making clothes using PSP

Hi Everyone

I have this itch to try my hand at designing clothing. I love to use PSP and well it is the easiest for me since I know it. My question is where do I get started? Where do I find the templates for clothes making? Is there a place that offers step by step instrustions for beginners? Any information would be greatly appericated. And I thank you in advance.

is where you'll find the official templates. Chip Midnight and others have also offered high-resolution templates on the forums, so you can search for those.

I'd recommend that you use the preview feature before actually paying for an upload of your texture. Things stretch or match in ways that you may not expect.

Thanks Barbarra, now i just have to find the step by step instructions for blondes....lol

I highly recommend searching out Chip's templates. (I know Robin has some, too, but I can't speak for them because I've never used them.) They're not just high resolution; they've also got a more detailed grid, and all sorts of seam guides on them. It makes things vastly less frustrating.

Thanks Miriel, i have looked at Chips things and they do look very good. Does anyone have any places for step by step instructions? Or is there a place to learn in SL? i'm not into making money at this, i just want to make things for myself.

Did you get ahold of Chip's templates yet? They really are the best ones, espescially for beginners. Ive not found any tutorials around for starting.. its really just trial and error. Paint something on, see how it fits on the avie.

If anyone knows where to get Chip's templates, I would love to know, I am also interested in clothing.
Thanks

(I really need to get off my butt and make a psp tutorial, I'm just not so good at explaining things.)

There is a stickly by Blaze Columbia that containes links to just about every template and tutorial on making clothes in SL.

Blaze did put out a great sticky with tips and tricks. But i have yet to find any instructions on making clothes using PSP. i guess no one uses PSP to make clothes.

Cricket, I posted a PSP5 tutorial on how I do it here:

It's not very good but it focuses on the basic mechanics of making clothing using PSP, which I haven't seen elsewhere... might suffice till someone better does one ^_^

Thank you very much Cerulia. i will make sure to check it out. And hey i will take any advice and i'm sure yours is wonderful. thank you again......hugs
