i made a spiderman patch for my bag! i used a picture of him as a reference (I'm not sure if it's from the comics or fan-made). it's difficult to keep proportions accurate when embroidering, so the arm and hand on the first outline ended up being a bit wonky:
i later fixed it when i blocked in the colors, simplifying some of the lighting in the original image to make it more clear. the head slowly became more squished since the fabric kept warping, but not too badly:
then i added the web detailing to his suit, cut off the excess fabric, and attached it to the front pocket of my bag alongside my spiderman and deadpool pins:
Some of us are going to flee America, some of us are going to fight in America, some of us will lay low in America, some of us might be executed in America.
Whatever the outcome for you personally, weather against your will or by your choice, know you are not a better or worse, a more or less important, person. You are not a coward for fleeing. You are not an idiot for fighting. You are not a traitor for surviving.
peace and quiet

for about a week now I've been working on a DIY vest. it's not a battle vest, but i am taking inspiration from some of the patch ideas and maybe adding spikes
here's my process so far:
(EDITED with image descriptions - thanks for the reminder in the tags!!)
i dyed a pale blue vest with one full bottle of graphite synthetic dye. it's still sadly a little blue, but it's dark enough that it isn't super noticable, so I'll live. if you have any questions about the exact process, ill answer them in the comments!
i then added two regular pockets after seam ripping the fake ones - why do they even put fake pockets on these - and two inner pockets using the shape of the upper pocket as a guide. one of them is embroidered with quotes from a post by turboennui on here about Laika, the first dog in space sent from Russia
then i added a detachable hood taken from an old sweatshirt, which is attached to the vest via six buttons. i get anxious when i don't have a hood on my clothes, so if i don't wear this vest over a sweatshirt, i still have the option to have more comfort
yesterday, i planned out and began embroidering the back panel. it will be a detachable piece of black fabric from an old button up shirt, connected only with safety pins so i don't have to commit to a theme and instead have multiple artworks to swap out. this one is a few black ferns and a pale blue moth (type undecided) atop a starry night sky background
if you guys have any ideas of stuff to add or embroider, or tips for making a denim vest in general, comments are greatly appreciated! ill post another update once the vest is finished
the fight is still on! don’t give up!
that's so disgusting i love it. give me 50
vest update
there's a few patches that I've temporarily removed to make room for the blue jay piece i added, but I'll probably reattach those to the back
here's a close up of the blue jay, which i made out of clothing scraps and embroidery thread
i redrew an older OC of mine - Sebastian
i don't have much lore on him, except that he was hired to assassinate young bartender Azrael, but was unsuccessful. i hope to expand on their world soon, why he was hired to assassinate Azrael, why he failed, and what they do next.
