A Goth jacket upcycling!

[@Bulgarianroses1969]

So inspired to make my own jacket! Thank you for going over the symbols and their meanings. Be blessed.🕊

[@purplejanew]

That makes my day! Thank you and blessings upon you too! xx

[@EmiliaLecter]

Lovely! I also love all the history you give us. Such a bonus to a DIY video!

[@purplejanew]

Thanks Emilia, I do love to teach!

[@noniefuss]

That jacket was a great find, but it improved significantly with your handy work! I loved the insight on the patches as well!

[@purplejanew]

Thank you Nonie! xx

[@23TheDragonLady23]

woah! informative goth uk grandma, im living for it! first time here, your vid popped up on my recommended and im SO GLAD i clicked! beautiful handiwork on that jumper. learned a lot of new things from this, thanks so much! Keep up the good work, and dont stop being you!

[@purplejanew]

Hi and many many thanks! I have a ton of stuff here for you!

[@natalienewman7893]

I did chuckle when you described the D ring belt. They are a nightmare & totally agree it had to go. The jacket looks awesome!

[@purplejanew]

They just won't obey me!!! Thank you Natalie xxx

[@dianefields295]

You look awesome jacket with patches outfit. Lovely! 👍😊😘🤟🏾🙌🏽🖤🖤🦇💀📱

[@purplejanew]

Thank you Diane xx

Hi Jane, I learnt so many new English words and some background stories about the symbols too on your tutorial.... - my favorite is 'brass poppers' I don't even know the German word for it. Big Dankeschön Jane. Enjoy wearing that very special piece of clothing. Liebe Grüße 💜💜💜

[@purplejanew]

Hi Susanne - how are you doing? So great that you can hear new words! Poppers is the equivalent of the American 'snap fastener' if that helps? Dankeschön for watching and commenting and I am sending Liebe Grüße to you too xx 💜💜💜

[@susanne4028]

@@purplejanew snap fastener....another expression I didn't know. Thank you Jane, my favourite English teacher. 🖤💜😘

[@DollyBelladonna]

Aaaargh the green eyeshadow 😍

[@purplejanew]

I went out on a limb but I think I got away with it!

[@pukestar]

Thank you for the meaning behind most of these symbols! I learned some new things tonight! 💓 Jacket looks wonderful! Sewing is such a lost art, too. One of my cats is named after Ms. Summers herself!

[@purplejanew]

Thank you - I am not the greatest seamstress in the world but I do like to have a go! Please kiss your Buffy for me!? 😽

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Lovely jacket Jane, and thanks for the meaning of the symbols. I learned something new. I have some patches hanging around, so now I need to find a similar awesome jacket to put them on. I glue first then sew mine on. I don't want them to come off ever. (Jan Griffiths).

[@purplejanew]

Thanks Jan - this glue is very good I have to say and using it on jackets means it doesn't go in the washing machine as often!

[@lindaauld5423]

Great jacket Jane ! I made a distressed black denim gig jacket absolutely covered in patches , sewed them all on by hand , found it very enjoyable and theraputic !!

[@purplejanew]

Thank you - it is therapeutic isn't it!

[@Sanniz]

Loved the bat patch. So beautiful. Wish we had that type of prizes in our shops, but here it's trendy... so many things are even more expensive than new ones. The jacket looks fabulous! And agree... It can never go wrong with a Sisters of Mercy patch. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@purplejanew]

Thank you - my best advice is to shop in the not so upmarket areas - our city has some parts which are very Not Trendy and prices there are excellent!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Sanniz]

@@purplejanew haha we don't have those areas. But guess if I have better time in future I can try shops in UK. And I live in the area of Sweden that is famous through years for textiles, fabrics, clothes and even nowadays for research how to for an example recycle old clothes.

Fab! I love a good refashion!

Thanks! x

Nice jacket! 👍⭐❤

Thank you! xx

[@venetiia]

hi! i'm in the UK and a few years ago, when I was in school, both boys and girls did wood work as well as sewing...the way it would work is one term it would be sewing, the next would be wood work and then computer stuff... it would ulternate with the school terms x

[@purplejanew]

Hi and thanks for that - I didn't know that! x

[@VampKitty-kz1dv]

Love that jacket,and you look stunning❤❤👍

[@purplejanew]

Thank you Zoe - xxx

[@nittygritty7034]

Wow! Super educational!!

[@purplejanew]

I try my best!

[@Hana.Behl-Lecter]

You're SO COOL. It's so nice to see we don't all have to age into tame chocolate chip cookie grannies. Nothing wrong with that, but I love seeing older people so full of life and still uniquely themselves! I also so appreciate the history lesson.

[@purplejanew]

Thanks so much!! I do love to learn so I have to pass on that love to others! xx

[@carolinemiddleton3687]

Amazing Jacket Jane love the Patches and I will definitely be getting the Glue from Amazon.xx 💜🖤💜💀🦇⚰

[@purplejanew]

Thanks Caroline - you won't regret it!💜🖤💜💀🦇⚰

[@indiedee]

I need to get a new jacket to mess with. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@purplejanew]

You’re so welcome 😊 Let me know how you get on?

[@dianefields295]

Oh you bought at cheap store. Your jacket look alike black jean. I love patch’s on jean jacket, but it’s hard to find patch’s. Next time I try to to find jacket and patch’s cheap. I will have time to go looking for patch’s at sweat meet or other place. I love your jacket is super cool. I ask you question ♎️♊️ and your sign on your jacket? 👍😊😘🤟🏾🙌🏽🖤🖤🦇💀⚰️📱

[@purplejanew]

Yes Diane you should do one too! My sign is ♎

[@Lillith_Luna]

That’s awesome!! I’ve been thinking of doing something like that. I may need to do it sometime. 😁

[@purplejanew]

Thank you! It's really good fun and so easy with glue!

[@Lillith_Luna]

@@purplejanew you’re welcome! Yeah! I bet. I hadn’t thought of that. I always figured I would have to sew. My sewing skills are horrendous. 😂😩

hi there. hope things have been going well for you since we last talked! March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and i am a disabled goth that is a content creator. if you are needing someone to represent for National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month on your channel/content i'm avaialable and would love to work with you! have a great day.

[@purplejanew]

Thanks Jess, I was not aware of NDDA month but I am now. Take care and lots of love x

[@Jessinking]

@@purplejanew you're welcome. if you know any goths that are disabled that create content let me know. i'm looking to spotlight them during the month.

[@purplejanew]

@@Jessinking I don't think I do but the group to ask is on Facebook and called Staying Weird - they are a very diverse bunch!

[@Jessinking]

@@purplejanew thanks for the tip!

[@Serenity7250]

Are you a satanist? I couldnt wear any symbology like that. Those energies wanted me dead.

[@purplejanew]

No I am not and I did explain the symbols so as to show what they really are.

[@Serenity7250]

@@purplejanew You explaining the back patch made me cry. Very powerful symbols indeed.

[@purplejanew]

@@Serenity7250 I didn't want to upset anyone but most great art comes from tales of great actions or events. Hope you stay with me?

[@Serenity7250]

@@purplejanew Absolutely 🖤

[@sghettinona]

Ectogasm on Instagram has some interesting collar pins that you might like to use. I have found collar spikes at H&M. I love to use them because they help flatten down problematic collars. I use them on pockets sometimes, as well. The draw back is they have to be removed when you wash your jacket. What a fantastic jacket, you did it up well. Brava. Thanks for sharing. All the Best to You. & You have nice hands.

[@purplejanew]

Thank you - I have some small spikes that you screw into the fabric so I might use those but will definitely check out Ectogasm! x
