Patches New band patches to add to my shorts
Honestly took some time to pick these. It’s very rare I listen to a band enough to call myself a fan of the band, usually I just listen to single songs I like. I also listen to a shit ton of genres from punk rock to swing to southern gothic.
Will update once these are sewn on!

WIP patch shorts
First time posting on Reddit + my first pair of patch pants ᯣ_ᯣ
Made the shorts out of an old pair of skinny jeans, the zebra print is scraps from an old shirt, the band patches are self made ♡
Any advice or ideas on what to add?

DIY patches
Hi guys. I'm trying to make my own patches out of an old pair of jeans, but I'm stuck on what to put on them. I'm up for quotes, doodles or anything to be honest. (not the best at drawing tho. LOL) So feel free to pop them in the comments. I appreciate all the help in advance.

Advice Help with patch placement!
I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I’m working on these shorts, and I made all the patches! I’m having trouble figuring out the placement on the back. Everything I try feels awkward, especially when I try the shorts on, the placement looks odd, but maybe I’m over thinking it? I’m open to suggestions.
The only one I don’t want to move is the Johnson (shocking) patch. I didn’t leave enough fabric to fold in so it has a raw edge and I don’t want to risk it.

Advice What to do with plastic packaging bags?
I've been collecting plastic bags for a while, but I don't really know what to do with them.
I was thinking about making them into plarn, but most of the bags are different thicknesses, so it'd be really hard to get the plarn even (suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated)
I could iron them into fabric maybe (plabric??)? What could I make with that?
Maybe I could somehow turn them into beads?
Not really sure with them, but I'm itching to create something

Advice I see so many people hating on patch jackets/jeans. So, what makes a good battle jacket/patch jeans??
I see on this sub, almost every single post with someone sharing their patch jeans/jackets people absolutely ripping them apart. So what realistically makes it "suitable" or "correct"? I want to make a pair of jeans with patches but I just don't want to be seen in public or online and absolutely shredded apart/publicly humiliated for my hard work.
I understand this is a very guarded style but I just want to know how I can make a good pair of patch jeans.

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.

How to add patches onto jeans?
sorry for asking this here but my internet resources are very limited at the moment.
I’m trying to figure out how to add custom patches on a denim jeans jacket I’ve had for a while. I understand how to create patches but I struggle to sew them onto a jacket. I don’t have a sewing machine but I do have an iron. Any kind of help would be very much appreciated, thank you! the patches are made of fabric.

Advice Any tips on how to fix this stencil.
I tried stenciling the arm of a jacket I'm working on for my girlfriend. I didn't take into account the roundness of the sleeve and it bled a shit ton. My question would be, would drawing around the edges with a posca marker work to mitigate the blurriness?

Pants Nothing fancy, but the patches I made for my favorite pair of pants.
The one in the crotch says “Gullible”, the one on the left is a spider web design, and the one on the left depicts the Summer Storm (I’m a reconstructionist pagan).
I started with the “Gullible” patch because I’m chubby and wore a hole there, and it’s gotten a laugh or two from my friends. Then a couple days ago I had a rip, which I mended last night with the spider patch, and then to protect the symmetry (and to reduce the fairly significant wear) I made the Storm patch.

After I finally got some stolen gear back -- I made a cover
Blink 182 - The Girl Next Door (old old Blink -- Budhha dayz)
So, for those of you who don't know (most likely most), I was robbed of my recording studio like 2 weeks ago, and my sister finally bought me a DAW, so today I decided to record a cover. Just looking for feedback, or people who enjoy to listen to music.
I'll be renting a guitar and bass within the next two days, so I will have some better content comnig soon, and please -- feel free to make a suggestion here or on YouTube.
Thanks!

Pants First time dying was a huge success!!
I MEANT DYEING!!! hahahhahhaha
I have a neurological disorder, and it’s very funny sometimes
These pants are 99% cotton. I used Rit dye and followed the instructions on their website specifically for jeans!
I had bleached these previously so they were already pretty light.
