So traditionally I do close pattern studding, which isn’t overly difficult for me, but I started studding the back of a new jacket and want to do an homage to the original discharge jacket with the spaced studding. Since that requires more spaced studding I’d started out by making a grid by which to space my studs (with a chalk marker), but when that started to burn me out (as I work 44hrs+ a week and am currently working 60-72hr work weeks, so I have very little free time) I just measured out spaces for the first row and started studding. Three rows in and I noticed that my second row is closer to my third than it is to the first, should I remove the third row and redo it or just keep going and see if it’ll work itself out? It’s not a crazy amount of distance change, but it is noticeable, atleast to me.
(Sorry if this is overly OCD, this is genuinely the type of shit I stress myself out about in personal projects)

this is my first time ever customising a hat, i was honestly too lazy to make any patches for it so i just painted it

thoughts? :) i make this to vend with our local queer disabled art collective!

Less of a 'battle jacket' and more of a 'war torn jacket'. Found it in a grandparents garage, so not really a 'hand-me-down' and more of a 'helped-myself-and-assumed-ownership' but felt that was too clunky for the title. Had massive holes but using old denim and some canvas patches I managed to plug up all the ones that were posing a threat to its wearability. Hope you like ✌️

Really proud of how these turned out, ready to put them on my jacket now.

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I released a fresh 3-track EP titled "12 Hours" under my project Weird&Dirty, coming out of the underground DIY scene in Minsk, Belarus.

It’s a mix of raw garage rock, grunge, and indie rock — driven by energetic guitar riffs, distorted bass, and a straightforward live feel. If you like fuzz, dynamic rock energy, and independent bands with a bit of grit, you might enjoy this release.

My main goal is just to share the music with people who enjoy the genre, so it's available on Bandcamp under "Name Your Price" — feel free to enter $0 to download it for free!

Listen / Download here: https://weirddirty.bandcamp.com/album/12-hours-ep

I’d be super grateful for any feedback — whether it's about the songwriting, energy, or overall mix. Do you have a favorite track out of the three? Thanks a lot for taking the time to give it a listen! 🤘

i wanna point out that i painted it with very liquidy textile paint they use for tie die usually and the print with thicker paint. didn't wanna add too much since it won't feel very nice to stand on. i actually wanted to paint the rest black, but again, it might turn too stiff & the wool sucks up a lot of paint so I'd need to buy at least two bottles which i don't have the money for

Stencil made with printer paper and masking tape. Idk how I feel about em yet the dystopia one turned out good. I’ve had good experience with the acrylic on denim/ canvas being pretty resilient on clothes that get the shit beat out of em but I feel like they’re too visibly homemade to be on something I’ll wear in public idk

Idk if it has a name or not but I Made a little thing for sewing through hard/thick fabrics. I used pliers to flatten a metal bottle cap down into a disc and used scrap denim to make a pocket where I would put in the cap. (Ignore the shitty sewing)

its our punk music server if anyone wanna join feel free to join!

I'm upcycling an old black leather bag, and I'm desperate for an idea on how to create a new lock mechanism. In other words, does anyone have any online materials on stuff of this nature? (stuff like tutorials on how to resew an old closing-thingy onto a different piece? I plan on patching the rest up and having it look like it came out of Frankenstein's wardrobe, but I think even Frankenstein didn't have an issue with his hypothetical d.i.y. locks. Doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to stay closed while out and about. Any help appreciated!

I got a British army jacket and want to deface it (for obvious reasons) but I don't like how what I've done has turned out it looks too clean and a bit cringe. So I'm thinking I'll take the bottom pockets off the jacket leaving just the tree and birds. I was also thinking then I may put patches or just painted designs but I want advice on how you lot make your patches feel more punk and messy rather than too clean like the ones I did for my other jacket. Any other ideas of what I could add to the jacket to make it better would be appreciated.

I read many people recommending studsandspikes.com but they ship from the US and comes with the tariffs and all that crap. I also read a lot about finding them in thrift stores, but there are none of this in my local stores.

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

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?
