Sewing Patches Onto My Jacket

avatar

Greetings, friends! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Getting Projects Done continues, as I sewed the patches onto my battle jacket! :) I've been collecting these forever but I didn't want to start sewing any on until I had enough to fill the back so that I could arrange them to all fit well.

All but four of them came from Etsy. The bee I hand embroidered, the anarchist ace (asexual people are often called aces) of hearts came from an artist I met on fb who hand paints them, and the #ophumanangels and the Anarchy A/Druid Awen/Pagan Pentacle I bartererd for on Simbi. I designed the Pagan/Druid/Anarchist one, and just explained what I was looking for and the person with the embroidery machine designed the other one. OpHumanAngels was the tag we were using here back in the long ago before groups existed on chain, for random acts of kindness. I had some made for the most frequent posters of OHA content, but I didn't have my jacket until recently. :)

The others are all from Etsy. Your heart is a miracle the size of your fist/keep loving, keep fighting and everyone deserves food and shelter came from the same shop, and the acorn and Earth came from the same shop, but otherwise they were all different sellers.

Having my jacket all patched makes me happy. 😄 It took me about a day of sewing, as in, I started one day and by the next day around the same time, it was completed. I wasn't doing much else this weekend! LOL

Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading! Happy sewing!

Yes! I made the bee patch after I made a bolster pillow for a friend where I embroidered bees on it. :)

Awwnn...this is sooo nice
Now I have learnt something new.
I used to do such hand embroidery in the past and will love to try it again after seeing this, seeing that you embroidered the bee 🐝 with your hands I feel so inspired

I love the arrangements too and that owl 🦉 is really a wow.
Now i wish that I were closer , I would have stolen that jacket even before you know it 🤣😂

That's a joke but this is really lovely and worth it.
Well done with this and the embroidery.

How cool! I love the jean jacket patches, you remind me of my teenage years. The designs are great, my favorites are the ♻️ logo, and the pidgeon one, I think the message is great. And now the important thing, you stitched everything very well !!! I congratulate you!!!
