Newest vest I've been working on.  Got most of the patches sewn at this point.  Gotta go over the embroidered runes on the back... but my fingers are tired.  I'm really proud of how the deer mandible turned out.  Looking forward to getting more bones and patches for the build!

Does anyone have button makers they like for around 100 dollars that came with stuff? Like supplies to make the buttons.

I had this sleep patch that I really wanted to sew onto this jacket. I’ve never dabbled in any kind of sewing and I was wondering where to start

Hello! I have been updating the progress of my jacket on here for a wile now. Progress is slow with the postal strike Iv had my remaining few patches I intend to see on stuck. But I sew on this amazing handmade terriormon patch recently…. Digimon patches seem to be hard to come by which is so disappointing because the show is awesome.

Hi all, I’m planning on making my first battle jacket. more specifically i plan on making a winter battle jacket, as Missouri winters are rather cold. I got a redhead flannel jacket today on sale, real warm. Problem is, I’ve never sewn, let alone on a several layer fabric. I would do iron ons, but I prefer to make my own, and even the ones for bands I can find online are sew on (because they’re illegally made on Etsy). Any advice on how to do so?

How can I make a battle jacket out of a thicker jacket?

My ‘Bands I’ve seen’ jacket (a lot more to add). Should I put spikes/studs on the shoulder?

My Jacket Tour!!

My vest so far as a 16yo (started about 5 months ago)

The patches aren't straight, the one on the back isn't central but I'm happy with how it's turned out so far!

My jacket now I've applied the patches I currently have

I designed a bouncing souls patch it's fucking sick it can be done in two colors I wanna get some denim put and a stencil and some bleach and put it on there and sew it on as my Bomber jacket's back patch is this a good idea or am I a moron who should just paint some Shit

Is bleaching a patch a good idea

So I've been putting this off for a while and I don't know why but I think I finally got the confidence to show off my vest so far

All of the patches are homemade being cut off of some pants I tried to distress and failed miserably

Once I get a sewing machine probably for Christmas or birthday cause God knows I can't afford one I'm thinking of putting sleeves and maybe a hood after I cut them off for some reason

Also I would enjoy some constructive criticism

I'm guessing this is the first Pee-Wee themed vest on this sub.

Hey, I've been wanting for a while to do a battle jacket. Been putting that idea aside also because I can't find physical places that sell patches. So I think I will paint it all. Is it better to paint on fabric, make patches with it, and sew it on the jacket; or simply painting directly on it? Or is it just an aesthetic choice? Any random advice over painting denim jackets or fabric in general is also appreciated, I've never done that before. Thanks :)

recent patch haul :^P

I feel like my sewing doesn’t look very good. (Orchid and Page Ninety Nine isn’t Sewn on) I feel like whenever I sew something it doesn’t look very neat. How can I improve?

Punk Jacket

Was told I should post this here. My vest is always a work in progress. I. Planning on swapping out the political patches with bands because I find them corny, I let my actions speak for me not patches. Would like to hear what yall think about my vest

Vest I had since freshman year of high school

Every patch on this jacket was made, two patches on this were made by my niece and nephew, I’m sure you can guess which ones those are
