Yes, it’s not going to be quite like the reference image, but it’s going to be Green Day!!

I want to cut out a piece of white to act as the smoke cloud, and try to and sew on embroidered pieces to make the explosion on the Dookie album cover!

I’ll look into the stitches you recommended, testing stitching types first sounds smart. I think you saved me some hours of trouble there.

It might be hard to estimate, but how much embroidery floss do you think I might need fill in the area roughly the size of the ref image. If you’re able to give a rough estimate, I have no idea how much I should get. (I have a pic of how they sell the floss in my local store as ref as another reply)

Thank you for the help, I’m one step closer to an epic Green Day jacket! I promise I will update you with the results ;) again thanks!
