Fabric Patch - Tumblr Posts

lis2 sean diaz wolf squad patch!!

hey guys!! i really enjoyed making the other patch so i embroidered a small version Sean's hoodie design as practice for making a bigger one!

if anyone is interested, here are the things i used:

nail scissors to cut fabric and thread because i couldn't find my regular scissors

fabric from an old white t-shirt!

blue and red embroidery thread (split into half and tied together at the end to secure it in the needle)

smaller and larger needle

regular black thread doubled over

hawt dawg man patch!!!

hey guys i made another patch a while back and i just remembered to post it! i sort of squished the poor guy but the design is based off one of the Messages stickers you can get if you get LIS1 on mobile :)

here are some photos of my 'process' (basically just winging it) if anyone wants to see!

literally the only proper equipment i have is some embroidery thread, the rest is using old fabric from a school shirt and a needle! dont let it stop you :) anyway first i just trace or draw the design and start doing stitches, i try to keep it in the same orientation unless i want some sort of pattern if you get me...

more stitches!

here the body is basically complete

eyes and limbs! :)

here is the back halfway through. just to show you how little of a plan i have

that's sort of it! i see to have missed the rest but i just did basically the same thing... for the border i cannot do a proper satin stitch (or whatever its called) without curling the edges so i just sorta went around the hawt dawg man. that part would be a LOT easier with a sewing machine. but it's sort of calming!!
