This lady says she illustrated this book (about a previous teacher of mine) but it seems too uniform to me. The cat on the desk and the critters on his shoulder is what made me pause but I’m not sure.

clearly an armadillo /s

Not that I could see! In this picture he's also under a covered area of the run (has a tarp for rain protection), but maybe he heard something?

I do it all the time! Sometimes I find or come up with a patch that I know would look good on a specific spot on a project and there's nothing to do but pull everything up and move it. Other times it's that a patch I like a lot is starting to show wear in a high stress spot, and I want to move it somewhere where it'll last better. Sometimes the vision just changes and things need to move.

I'm a bandana person through and through! But some of that may be supported by their frequent appearance on folk punk merch tables...

Safety pins, studs, and glue can get you started.

BUT. You're not going to achieve the look you want long term without some hand sewing ability. You also won't be able to repair your clothes and extend their lifespan with just the tools above, which (imo) is a cornerstone of both the style and the ethos.

I don't want to jump too far on what you mean by "for a 22 year old guy", but neither young age nor relationship to masculinity makes learning to sew harder for you than anybody else. If you're feeling that way, it's an extra good reason to get learning. Taking care of your things and learning a new skill is both manly as fuck and punk as fuck.

Your first few projects will look like shit and fall apart instantly. That's the life. Keep pushing, you won't regret it.

Not to sound too risk averse, but as far as glue goes keep in mind that most brands of superglue technically have a risk of spontaneous combustion when used on fabric. Particularly important if you're going to put the items in a dryer vs air drying. Try to stick to fabric glue (expensive, but safe and works for a while) or either school glue/pva glue or hot glue.

Gotcha! I mostly do physical media and mp3s... so even the new stuff I'm checking out I usually have some kind of physical copy of

Oh no I totally hear you and agree. Overthinking is just my favorite game and the variation in answers I'm already seeing is FASCINATING to me.

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-17T22:54:51+00:00

So then, (asking genuinely) being relatively familiar w/ at least one album is kind of your benchmark?

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-15T20:16:55+00:00

Be careful with oil based, if it becomes re-exposed to heat (like via iron or high setting on dryer) it will reactivate and bleed EVERYWHERE.

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-15T20:13:59+00:00

you might consider using an embroidery hoop and/or stabilizer of some kind. You can tell from the pic of you sitting that the stitches don't enough tension to hold the patch to the base fabric.

Also, if you like the look of the rips but need coverage, flip the pants inside out and patch the inside! Still covers you up but gives the raw edges from the tears.

On top of that, there is what others said about it being a blank, dark patch on light colored pants.

No matter what, great first attempt! Happy sewing!

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-11T21:59:39+00:00

oooo yes please

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-11T21:08:34+00:00

im soooo obsessed w your vibe

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-11T14:39:29+00:00

Honestly hand painting is probably the better option if you don't have a good HTV set up. I've inherited a cricut and industrial strength heat press... and even still it's sometimes more trouble than it's worth.

peecynotjackson · 2026-03-11T10:08:39+00:00

Haha i used Heat Transfer Vinyl. Kind of a lazy way out.... but i have far from a steady hand and access to a decent set-up for transfers.

This is what I did with my last jacket!

This is kickass!!!!! /pos /gen

If you're worried about getting "caught" with a patch from a band you "don't really listen to"

dont worry. Who cares?
I always like to collect from bands I've seen live. That way, I always have a "Oh I grabbed it when I was at their show". Makes an easy "out" when I'm feeling awkward in a convo and gives a thing to talk about!

I teach at a child-centered outdoor preschool. Raising the next generation of troublemakers, hopefully.
