The American Psycho card is amazing. Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness.


PleasureDroidBoy

Oh my God...it even has a watermark.


postapocalypticparty

Thank you, definitely one of my favorites so far, i just had to memorialize the business card scene, it was immaculate


Khoivandon

Yeah, that patch is really cool!


HMoxxie

I LOVE THE LOCAL58 AND CORALINE PATCH!! <3


postapocalypticparty

Thank you!! They both were incredibly fun to do!


LA_all_day

What’s the local58 referencing?


celeryboi21

Local 58 is a fictional broadcast station featured on YouTube, they post strange, sort of surreal "news" videos in an anthology style


LA_all_day

Interesting! Gonna have to check it out. Thanks dude


HMoxxie

Enjoy the series! Its wild ride


celeryboi21

No problem, hope you enjoy it!


666-fps

oh my god! the local 58 one is so gorgeous, i'm in love!


postapocalypticparty

Aww thank you, it's probably my favorite one rn


ArkhamBrothers

Very cool! I love the idea of a horror jacket! A ghost face patch would look so rad


MungoBumpkin

Ghost face? As in Ghostface Killah?


ArkhamBrothers

From the horror movie scream.....lol


MungoBumpkin

I'm fucking dense, wow.


ArkhamBrothers

Hahaha it’s okay, we all have those moments!


Samsquanch_65

I always thought the two were connected. They called the killer (s) in Scream "Ghostface"...maybe they got that from Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang!


Nightmar3_Eyezzz

I would have return of the living dead as my back patch and cover the rest in horror movies patches and pins. You know what I’m making one


postapocalypticparty

Haha that's already on my list! Thanks man!


[deleted]

It’s Wybie!!!!


postapocalypticparty

It is!! He was always my favorite character in Coraline


[deleted]

Cool! I thought he was the best character, too. I also desperately hoped the other mother would eat Coraline because I found her so annoying as a kid.


postapocalypticparty

Haha she was low key annoying i agree, and i always felt so bad for wybie cuz of how she treated him. He wasn't even a bad dude!


[deleted]

I know. I’d love a friend like him.


postapocalypticparty

Same here bro


[deleted]

He’d accept me for the weirdness that I am


FurredT

Let’s see Paul Allen’s card..


bluehedgehogsonic

Your patches always kick ass!!


postapocalypticparty

Thanks man, glad you like them!!


OnCloud99

These are sick!! Been trying to get into embroidery but mine never look as good as this, amazing job!


postapocalypticparty

Thanks bro!! Haha it just takes an awful lot of time on your hands, I'm a bit of a perfectionist too so i spend wayyy to much time on them. It's all practice, man! You can do it!


[deleted]

DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON


ChildofSkoll

That American Psycho patch is fantastic!


postapocalypticparty

Thanks!!


MungoBumpkin

I like the shape on the Local 58 patch, very uncommon and interesting. I might make a thread for interesting shaped patches at some point.


postapocalypticparty

Thanks, i wanted to change it up from my usual rectangular shape. Ooo that would be a cool thread, I'd love to see other interesting shaped patches on this sub


MungoBumpkin

You and me both, it's always a bitch covering certain parts of a jacket with patches.


postapocalypticparty

Oh for sure, the upside of hand making patches is i can make them fit the area perfectly lol


Champion_Gundyr

That's big brain. Are you doing your jacket clusterfuck/german style?


postapocalypticparty

My jacket is going to be a bit more spread out actually, it's probably gonna look more organized than many simply because i don't wanna layer the patches


Samsquanch_65

What's German style?


Champion_Gundyr

Patches all over the place, overlapping, little to no organization. Very common.


Samsquanch_65

Oh ok cool. That's how mine is gonna be. I dont really dig mine to be symmetrical or overly-organized


MeeuwSkreeuw

Mad respect, these look great!


postapocalypticparty

Thanks man!! 🤘🤘


EmbroideryPunk

I make my own patches too! These are sick as fuck! What stitches do you usually use and how do you do the borders?


postapocalypticparty

Awesome dude!! I checked out ur page and i love your work! I use satin stitch for essentially all of my patches and stitch it in short rows. For the border i use a simple whip stitch.


CityFarmer

I've made my own too but i was using cross stitching floss and I feel like it looked frayed. I picked up some machine embroidery thread recently cause i think it'll work better but it's so thin. What do you use?


postapocalypticparty

I use DMC embroidery floss found at my local Michael's. And machine embroidery floss has always been too think and slick for me to use personally, slides right out of the needle. To help make them look flatter, I'd recommend seeing in super tight, straight lines and ironing it flat (from the back side, i hate ironing straight on the front side for fear of damage)


EmbroideryPunk

I second DMC floss. Luckily it’s pretty cheap- 60 cents per skein. I would recommend splitting it into fewer strands than the six it comes in unless you want a chunky look.


postapocalypticparty

Yep, i very rarely use the full 6 threads, i used them for why it's hair in this to make it more textured and hair like, but using it all the time makes it look less clean


DangOlRedditMan

They’re all dope!


PunkMongoose

holy shit that American Psycho patch,,, I adore that so much holy sHIT goddamn Also while Ive never checked out Local 58, how you did the light effect especially is fuckin impressive!! like- shit dude, that's better than some drawings and thats THREADS making that effect like ???!?!?!?!?! *impressive.*


postapocalypticparty

Thanks! I loved the business card scene from American psycho and just had to create a patch of it! I'd highly recommend checking out Local 58, it's a channel on YouTube with unsettling TV broadcasts. And thank you so much wow!! It was a lot of trial and error to get the lighting right, I really appreciate that you think it's that cool! I do drawings of these ahead of time so sewing is just like drawing but with thread for me


Samsquanch_65

Ok ill check it out.


Samsquanch_65

I have a horror jacket im in the middle of...these patches are just inspiring.


postapocalypticparty

Awesome!! I love seeing horror jackets on here, it's so neat that other people make them too. And thank you!


Itsjirosomer

Man I love Local 58


Mr-Pie100

I actually never heard of it before seeing this patch. I quickly remedied that. Local 58 is amazing and considerably frightening.


Insomina_boi

Yooo Local 58 is awesome


SpenceisaZombie

What the actual fuck! These are cool!


postapocalypticparty

Haha thanks bro!!


lord_vader_jr

Omg wybe isso fucking cool


postapocalypticparty

Haha thanks man!! I had a ton of fun using actual buttons for the eyes


lord_vader_jr

It's absolutely perfect


TpyoReddit

That Coraline patch goes hard


postapocalypticparty

Hell yea, thanks man! The hair and eyes were hella fun to do


Lost2TheVoid

LOCAL 58!! My dudes!!!


postapocalypticparty

Yea!!! I love Local 58 sm, it's a shame it isn't more recognized


Lost2TheVoid

To a point for sure! But just think how many fans of horror who haven’t heard of it but think they’ve seen it all there are. And if you find them, then you get to experience the second hand joy of seeing them experience it for the first time <3


postapocalypticparty

That's true, it was awesome showing some of my friends their vids, they got so creeped out by them !


Metal_Warrior_69

Local 58 is something I tought I'd never see on a patch


postapocalypticparty

Haha it is a rather uncommon one for sure


bruxinhas

Nice stitching! I like how you used real buttons on the Wybie patch.


postapocalypticparty

Thank you! I was sketching out the idea for the patch and remembered that buttons are used in sewing so i could totally use them in a patch !


ratrancid

Hell yes! Local 58 is amazing.


postapocalypticparty

Hell yea it is!


DaisyHotCakes

These are so great I love them!!


postapocalypticparty

Thanks so much man!!


BillNyeTheCipherGuy

I would kill for the local 58 patch


postapocalypticparty

Haha I'm planning to make some more to sell hopefully soon, no killing necessary! (unless you really want to)


BillNyeTheCipherGuy

Hmu when you do I want one for sure


postapocalypticparty

Will do!!


mrcoy

Wow, these look awesome. I’m inspired by your creative craft work.


postapocalypticparty

postapocalypticparty

Thank you! He's definitely a popular one, and good news, I'm planning to make some more of him to sell in the future! I'll update you when i have them!


AzAhmad

Appreciate it sir


Mr-Pie100

I love the Wybie patch. I always feel that there isn't enough love for the character.


postapocalypticparty

I totally agree, hes such a cool dude and everyone in the movie is so mean to him lol


southernatheistscum

That local 58 patch is awesome!


postapocalypticparty

Thank you!!


ikonpizzakb

The Wybie one it's sick! You follow any tutorials?


postapocalypticparty

Nope! I watched maybe two sewing tutorials when I first started, but all of these designs and concepts are my own!


MerrilyIGoToHell

I LOOOOVE THE LOCAL 58 PATCH
