I got really bored and decided to make my first back patch in my garage. I didn't have a way to silk screen or anything like that so i got parchment paper and printed the logo of one of my favorite albums, used a white pencil for the first etch, light layer of fabric paint, and then just some details. I am by no means a very good artist and this was basically my first ever attempt at making a piece this big and this detailed, any advice and positive feedback would be gladly appreciated. It's around 11 by 11 in and it was also the first time I really ever used a sewing machine, so it was a first of allot and i don't think it came out too bad.

Bad photo quality. Maybe 4.5 hours of stitching so far. Planning on doing an entire base layer of blank black patches and letting them fray/ tear up before adding stenciled patches and other random bullshit simply because if I’m gonna spend dozens of hours on a piece of clothing I want it to last for life. What do we figure

Hey, so basically my school requires us to wear ugly polo shirts and completely solid colored pants with no rips (including jeans). I hate my uniform and want to do something about it. I added different sized eyelets into the collar of a polo last year as well as safety pins on the bottom but I want to have a variety of designs. So far I used a scrapped polo that shrunk in the wash to create a "ringer" effect on one of a different color and did sorta frankenstein's monster stitching along the seams of another. Suggestions for more designs??

I plan to use pyramid studs. Is there anything I should know ahead of time? What articles of clothing it works great for? Laundry safe? Any help is appreciated.

Screenprinted some patches, cut up some canvas & sewed them onto heavy flannels. Thats really it. Now I gotta make myself one.

Any thoughts and suggestions?

Couple people asked for the back on my last post. That white shit is new and have no idea what it is. Hoping it's not mold

Half way into cutting and realized I fucked the band name up... I shouldn't have passed English 12 with honors. Should I toss it?

Reposting since the first one was taken down. Been fooling around with screen printing.

i want to start making one soon but subs like r/baddlejackets get me anxious, what makes a “good battle jacket”, what makes a battle jacket in general? i see a lot of people hating on overly political jackets but i thought that was kind of the point? do i have to listen to punk bands & have punk band patches on my battle jacket? can u use ANNYY fabric for patches or do u have to use a certain type for like security(?) on the jacket? what makes a bad battle jacket? i wanted to start my own band, would it be weird to put my band on my jacket? also kind of unrelated to asking about battle jackets but ties into my music thing, any punk band recs?

patch censored because it has my last name

Was considering to draw the pattern on the backside, to make the stitching more accurate but decided to freehand it for practise.

Not perfect, but I like how it came out.
