(hoping i'm posting in the correct category, i wasn't sure where it could belong lol)
i want to see how everyone gets creative with their jacket/vest!
mine is definitely not "finished" yet. all my pins and almost all my patches were made by me (except the Century Child patch).
my questions are:
- how do you feel about mostly DIY vests/jackets?
- how can you best fill space without it looking too crowded?
- where do you usually get patches or how do you make them?
- does your vest/jacket have a "theme" or do you just put on whatever you like?
- what's the best way to wash it?
share stories on how yours started, i'm curious!! i started mine earlier this year after i felt like my jacket was finished. i had way too much fun making my own patches and didn't want to stop. my jacket is much more random than this; though i'm still unsure what "theme" i'll end up with i want it to feel a tiny bit more organized.
the only thing i'm scared of is washing it, if i ever will- my patches are just jeans i cut up + acrylic paint. i know my sewing can survive even the washing machine but the paint is different.
very obvious but kinda fun fact for the end: i freehand everything cause i'm too lazy to make stencils. i know i could make much more detailed and prettier designs if i took some extra time to make a stencil but at that point i would rather save up for an official patch lol
