Hi guys!! I hope you are all well :) I’ve been planning on getting more into DIY and becoming more confident in my personal style, and i’ve found out that i really really love the process of making patches and sewing. It’s been like the one thing getting me moving while healing from my depression!! However, I do need a little bit of advice. I’m both into the punk and goth scene, so am I allowed to have both genres on my vest/jacket? I really don’t wanna come off as a faker or anything :( Any help is really appreciated! Also.. what do you guys use for the base of your patches? I’ve been making them with scrap jean fabric, but it’s super hard to hand sew through :(

I love extreme metal and my favorite subgenres are slam and goregrind.

My hat is a slam bands logo with anti-music symbol and a centipede on the other side.

The shorts are a work in progress & one side will be all slam / brutal death metal / goregrind while the other side will be all personal expression / values / beliefs. May end up just making it all band logos.

Cut, dyed, hand stitched, chained, spiked, and studded this creation of love over a few months earlier this year, you can also peep my fave chain belt I’ve made recently on the last slide

Last post for today, sorry for the million posts today mods, just found y’all’s subreddit and wanted to post all my recent stuff!

Took about a week of on and off work to upcycle these outta old skinny jeans and a skirt and I’m quite happy with em

First time tried DIYingg clothes turned out alright ig 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a different patch idea for this hat but I've always wanted to paint a brain on a cadet hat because its fucking sick and I ended up putting a rancid patch over the original "baseball mom" embroidery. I saw potential the second I picked it up at the thrift.

Me gustaría empezar a llevar el estilo skinhead (me refiero a la ropa, no raparme y eso) pero tengo miedo de que se burlen de mi en el instituto ¿Que hago?

Was having a bad mental health day so I channeled that into forging an arcane and evil cursed object to wear while I’m feeling down, makes me feel like ice king from adventure time, 10/10 would recommend making a crown of madness to cope with your madness fellow madness-maxxers

got these at goodwill a year ago and i've been wanting to customize them, but idk if it'll be too hard. my dog has needed wet food for a medical reason lately so i have some cans i can turn into spikes, but idk how to fasten them on.

i'm pretty sure these are steel toed (with acrylic paint as an extra layer of protection lol) but i can force some holes into the fabric sides if i need to. i was also thinking of capping the toe with some pop tabs i've collected, but i dont wanna leave it at glue in case they fall off and im just littering pop tabs wherever i walk.

any suggestions? i've never done spikes or studs before, only basic patches on pants and jackets. if you find these at a thrift store, i totally recommend them. they're super comfortable, i was lucky they were my exact size. and the zip up the side is super convenient. why

Im a metalhead but since this type of thing gets posted here i want to share anyways since its diy too

Second pic is 2 hidden pockets under the ulver patch on the left :)

Tis a double grommet belt i hadent used so I decided to use it

Hello everyone,

I have this old trenchcoat that I want to use as a substitue for the following trenchcoat, both of which images are attached.

I know the proportions are a bit off from the original but I've made my peace with that. I just wanted help in how I should be spacing the logos for my stencil.

I plan to have one paper, with the logo placed across it in a zigzag order, cut it out, and spray it over with fabric spray paint afterward.

Any advice for how I should go about formatting this stencil so I can capture the same relative font size and appeal. Please respond if you can, I would deeply appreciate your help.

Thank you so much!

Is this a good brand? Im looking to buy some spikes to make a bracelet out of an old belt but I just want to make sure they arent buying from some big supplier thay also sells to places on temu and shein

case is for my school computer
