@@nadatopalovic7685 it's a never ending process,you might have to repatch the crouch or other parts of the pants (saying from my experience since i have 2 kinda,one of them has just a few patches,but the crouch was fucked so I have to patch from time to time)

[@glitterbrains69]

Yeah man, i was homeless starting at 15. Back then i used to have to patch the shit out of my pants, clothes in general really, and id make pants out of flannel shirts n stuff, i had no idea what crust pants were lol. i remember being so bummed when id have to throw away pants with so many memories, they would just get so torn apart and filthy and i didnt have a place to keep shit back then. glad times have changed though, and im sure glad i dont have to steal elmers glue to put my hair up lol. love this channel yo, keep it up. Also the fact that you can just buy studs online and i dont have to steal belts from ross to stud my shit is just amazing. . .the world can be beautiful i guess :)

[@svefnhnuturthorgeirsson]

Yoo, that's actually cool that you do it this way bc my mom taught me how she made her crusties and it is almost exactly the same way (shes a goth punk so i was kinda born into it 😂). Instead of folding the ends of the patches tho, she'd trim the edge so itd be clean and lightly lather the back of the patch with a liquid adhesive for cloth so it wouldnt fray. She also used actual thread rather than floss, but same idea basically. When i made mine, i accidentally sewed the patch and pants to my underwear bc i had no idea what i was doing until i asked her during a visit 😂

[@vincentvalentine1316]

My mom was a punk too. Bless her soul may she rest in peace ✌

I use hemp thread, and a thick leather repair needle

*uses lighter to melt ends of floss* *also uses highly flammable object to put out fire* this is fine

[@reptil_diy]

👈👈

[@brodalski3092]

One thing i discovered when i started using dental floss is that you don't need tie a knot at all. If you got a lighter with a concentrated flame (the sharp blue flames), you can melt the tips of the dental floss into a ball. Much faster than making a knot and so far it's been pretty strong aswell.

If you use an embroidery hoop it eliminates the need for the bottles and CD case :)

I've been working on a vest. Realized last night that I had a bunch of old cross stitching frames. Made it sooo much easier to stitch the patches on w/o the fabric folding/twisting underneath

[@sallycurrie2718]

Before your fingertips start bleeding.. Use pliers to sew. That way you can use a bigger needle and thread the floss easier. A curved upholstery needle would work great.

[@dreadhead_remii7212]

What was the trick?

[@minimalachievement7970]

Yeah what was the trick

[@harshh9000]

@@dexalk2688 i think he’s referring to when you’re done sewing and you have that extra bit of thread or whatever you’re using left instead of just tying it into a knot you get a lighter and burn it into the actual fabric itself so it’s intertwined and tougher than a simple knot.

[@cryptidskin666]

I've never made a pair of patch pants but I have made a patch hat before. It doesn't have any patches with designs on them its just denim scraps from old jeans that I i used to cover my hat. But I have always really liked the look of "messy" stitching (like doing x shaped, v shaped and slanted stitches all mixed together) and thats how I did my hat. I personally like to call it Franken-stitching. I know a lot of punks really like the straight stitch look but I think that as long as you make sure all of your stitches aren't too short and that your patches are on securely it shouldn't really matter.

[@cryptidskin666]

Just to clarify, no hate is intended towards you or anyone else I'm just saying this for anyone who is worried they have to do completely straight perfect stitches and make it look perfect

[@sabbasstionweidright]

Pro tip if you don’t care about stabbing yourself in the hand. You can just put your hand/arm in between the two layers of fabric you don’t want to sew together.

[@maggoteaterr]

I’ve had patches for a while but I never really get around to actually starting or finishing a project due to my depression. Usually my mom helped me put them on but lately I’ve had the urge to learn myself. Thanks for the dope tutorial man! Definitely gotta try that dental floss method soon.

[@stainedredsheetz]

dude thanks so much for showing an in-depth zoom in of your pairs! I'm currently working on my first ever pair of patch pants and let me tell you, there's some GRUESOME stitching being done out there by people who just want to `wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am`-that shit. Making all of my own patches took like 25+ hours, currently on like hour 50+ of sowing them on etcetc. It's hard work and you can't speed it up or rush it, like you said. (also why do people want to do it fast? The joy of working hours on end on a pair that'll take you through anything is like the best part of this lol) Anyway, really loved the vid, thanks man :)

[@Ava-pu4es]

Yup me too, it took me about 7 months worth of freetime to make enough patches just to fill the front of my pants. And each patch takes like 30 minutes to sew, it isnt a quick process loool

[@mildly_chilly_war]

Tip if you dont want to hemm the patch for whatever reasons, get some clear nail polish and go over the edges. It will seal the fabric so you dont have to worry about your hemm being straight you can just cut the patch into the desired shape

[@ExistierenderExzentriker666]

Little tip if you make your patches yourself ( I paint them and sometimes just cut out a shape and see it on a background) have a signature not for fear of them getting taken but as a start I find I sometimes just don’t know what to make often at the start of me making project so I just sew up my signature a red heart on a black background sewed on messly then I just suttonly get a ton of inspo (and it’s iconic)

[@joshkuba6805]

Yo bro basically everyone ik does the same but also in future try making your first stitch loop between the threads so it just makes a loop around the fabric and cant come through without snapping, hope this helped:)

What a great tutorial. I would be interested to know what you did to resize your pants. My last job I ended up gaining 40 lbs and would love to bring my ol' 08 crust pants back from the grave.

[@reptil_diy]

So I took my crust pants and cut out an "inner seam" along the inside legs, all the way through the crotch. I then hand sewed them over and onto a donor pair of pants. I then went back and patched over the empty spaces with new patches to hid the blank space on the inside of the legs. Optionally you could cut the seam on the outside of the pants if you want to. It is a bit of work but definitely worth the effort. Feel free to dm me on Instagram with any questions @reptil_kodiya

Thanks, I think I get it, but how did you handle the front pockets? Really appreciate the tips!

You just cut apart the uppers from a pair of cloth sneakers (converse,vans, ect), then safety pin them over crotch and existing zipper, then sew them on with dental floss or waxed thread, then run your shoelaces through.

Patches are pretty cheap to hand make.

Yup the shoe laces zipper is just an old shoe. Canvas shoes like vans or converse work great. Just pin it with safety pins over the crotch and sew it on (I don't actually remove the zipper underneath). A lot of old crust pants from the 80s-90s had these.
