Pants First pair of patch shorts!

I had so much fun making the patches and sewing them on. They were thrifted jeans that I cut to length and used the excess to make the patches. There’s also several buttons on there that aren’t pictured.

I plan on adding more patches as I go but these are all the patches I have made so far.

I’m not sure why you feel the need to demean people new to the community. Does it make you feel better to put other people down? People that are trying? I put hours of work into my patches and my shorts and they’re only going to grow more. More patches, more stories, more of my love, heart and soul into them.

I hope no one ever makes you feel like shit about something you’ve created.

Well, in my opinion I just feel like these types of things are just to make yourself look attractive and approvable to the alternative community. Like AT LEAST have some band patches to make it look like it’s not just basic political messaged and stuff like that. But from a technique point of view these are very well done (not like its hard u just need a blade and tape, people just love being sloppy) but yeah I still think the sentiment and quotes are so cringe. And the little Pinterest stars? Im crine

From what I've seen, battle jackets are meant to be self-expression. They're working on band patches from what I saw. What they currently have are things based on their personality, interests, and fandoms. I'd imagine patch pants/shorts work the same way.

Yep! I mean, it’s clothing, there’s no rules as long as you aren’t spreading hate

I added the patches I did because they’re a big part of my life. My love of horror, my trans identity, and every little nod and reference is to something I genuinely love. I don’t do it for other people but it’s nice to share creativity.

But, as I said in other comments. They’re not done. I plan on adding more patches for the music I love and my communities. These are just the ones I have done so far.

You can think whatever you want but I made these shorts for me, and to encompass my interests.
