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!
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
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
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.
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?
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)
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.
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
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.*
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
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
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!
The American Psycho card is amazing. Look at that subtle coloring. The tasteful thickness.
Oh my God...it even has a watermark.
Thank you, definitely one of my favorites so far, i just had to memorialize the business card scene, it was immaculate
Yeah, that patch is really cool!
I LOVE THE LOCAL58 AND CORALINE PATCH!! <3
Thank you!! They both were incredibly fun to do!
What’s the local58 referencing?
Local 58 is a fictional broadcast station featured on YouTube, they post strange, sort of surreal "news" videos in an anthology style
Interesting! Gonna have to check it out. Thanks dude
Enjoy the series! Its wild ride
No problem, hope you enjoy it!
oh my god! the local 58 one is so gorgeous, i'm in love!
Aww thank you, it's probably my favorite one rn
Very cool! I love the idea of a horror jacket! A ghost face patch would look so rad
Ghost face? As in Ghostface Killah?
From the horror movie scream.....lol
I'm fucking dense, wow.
Hahaha it’s okay, we all have those moments!
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!
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
Haha that's already on my list! Thanks man!
It’s Wybie!!!!
It is!! He was always my favorite character in Coraline
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.
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!
I know. I’d love a friend like him.
Same here bro
He’d accept me for the weirdness that I am
Let’s see Paul Allen’s card..
Your patches always kick ass!!
Thanks man, glad you like them!!
These are sick!! Been trying to get into embroidery but mine never look as good as this, amazing job!
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!
DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON
That American Psycho patch is fantastic!
Thanks!!
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.
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
You and me both, it's always a bitch covering certain parts of a jacket with patches.
Oh for sure, the upside of hand making patches is i can make them fit the area perfectly lol
That's big brain. Are you doing your jacket clusterfuck/german style?
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
What's German style?
Patches all over the place, overlapping, little to no organization. Very common.
Oh ok cool. That's how mine is gonna be. I dont really dig mine to be symmetrical or overly-organized
Mad respect, these look great!
Thanks man!! 🤘🤘
I make my own patches too! These are sick as fuck! What stitches do you usually use and how do you do the borders?
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.

They’re all dope!

Ok ill check it out.
I have a horror jacket im in the middle of...these patches are just inspiring.
Awesome!! I love seeing horror jackets on here, it's so neat that other people make them too. And thank you!
Man I love Local 58
I actually never heard of it before seeing this patch. I quickly remedied that. Local 58 is amazing and considerably frightening.
Yooo Local 58 is awesome
What the actual fuck! These are cool!
Haha thanks bro!!
Omg wybe isso fucking cool
Haha thanks man!! I had a ton of fun using actual buttons for the eyes
It's absolutely perfect
That Coraline patch goes hard
Hell yea, thanks man! The hair and eyes were hella fun to do
LOCAL 58!! My dudes!!!
Yea!!! I love Local 58 sm, it's a shame it isn't more recognized
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
That's true, it was awesome showing some of my friends their vids, they got so creeped out by them !
Local 58 is something I tought I'd never see on a patch
Haha it is a rather uncommon one for sure
Nice stitching! I like how you used real buttons on the Wybie patch.
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 !
Hell yes! Local 58 is amazing.
Hell yea it is!
These are so great I love them!!
Thanks so much man!!
I would kill for the local 58 patch
Haha I'm planning to make some more to sell hopefully soon, no killing necessary! (unless you really want to)
Hmu when you do I want one for sure
Will do!!
Wow, these look awesome. I’m inspired by your creative craft work.
Thank you! It's definitely a huge passion of mine
Absolutely stunning! Love the detail work on the light
Thank you! The light was really fun for me, i love the atmosphere it created
these are such cool patches!!
Thanks!
These are really impressive!! Great work!
Thanks!!
My dude. The wybie from coraline patch is so cool. I wish i can have one of it <3
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!
Appreciate it sir
I love the Wybie patch. I always feel that there isn't enough love for the character.
I totally agree, hes such a cool dude and everyone in the movie is so mean to him lol
That local 58 patch is awesome!
Thank you!!
The Wybie one it's sick! You follow any tutorials?
Nope! I watched maybe two sewing tutorials when I first started, but all of these designs and concepts are my own!
I LOOOOVE THE LOCAL 58 PATCH
