Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been wanting to make a battle jacket, but have ZERO knowledge about sewing, so I've just been putting it off. Many tutorials I've seen in the past assume you have some sewing experience, so it was nice that instead you broke down the steps in a simple way for someone who is a total newb. 🖤

[@jedidls]

I've honestly never sewn anything in my LIFE and finally getting into punk now that im comfortable enough to express myself however I want. Thank you for teaching adult infants like me 😅

[@andrewhiggins43]

Loved metal since I was a young teen, I'm 42 now and finally starting work on my first ever battle vest! Many thanks, awesome vid, you made it look easy.

[@mcdjames666]

In the same boat as you!! Got to start this back patch, going to take hours haha

[@andrewhiggins43]

@@mcdjames666 Same here, got an awesome Kreator back patch waiting to arrive. It's funny that my first sewing experience begins with probably the most awkward patch. Really need to do it to start tying the design together though.

[@duaneromanell3431]

Yeah, thanks for this. Been sitting on a pile of patches for a while and decided to finally get off of my ass and put them on my denim jacket. Much appreciation from some middle-aged dude in NJ (that refuses to grow up). 😀

[@cowsagainstcapitalism347]

So glad my improvised method as a teenager turned out to be the "correct" way😅

[@HermitGhost]

Just ordered a bunch of patches for my midlife crisis and forgot I have no idea how to sew. I think I can handle this. Thank you!

[@MadiDanger]

You’ve got this!

[@joshuabeaman2727]

same, dude. i'm over here obtaining patches from all my favorite bands and assembling a vest because i'm 35 and got laid off from my big corporation job. it's midlife crisis time! i'm super glad the world of youtube will show me how to sew, but a punk rock person showing me how to do a punk rock vest is fantastic. i'm doing a metalhead vest, but i'm convinced it's the same thing.

[@HermitGhost]

@@joshuabeaman2727 It's definitely the same. Those fratricidal wars of the subgenres are silly to look back on. I'm 40 so a little older than you, but you probably remember the death metal crowd absolutely despising the black metal crowd. Hardcore and punk kids always squabbling. Certainly glad that history is behind us, it was beyond petty.

[@joshuabeaman2727]

@@HermitGhost at this age, none of the arguments matter. it's just music, you either like it or you don't. my punk rock friends also love metal. my metalhead friends also listen to punk rock. the wars between metal, punk, and other genres is for the young people to care about. we also listen to random instrumentals. and i love a good authentic classic piano piece.

[@roguehydra]

Funny as someone in the same age group (just turned 40) decided to finally make a vest. Boss gave me an old denim jacket and the light bulb went on and now I'm ocllecting patches from all my concerts I'm going to and ones I'd been to in the past.

[@dzr4421]

Really simple tutorial about a simple thing, but you made it so calming and professional. Really appreciate this. Now I'mma go ruin some vests because I think I can actually do this, haha

[@FilthyIcon321]

" there's not really a wrong way to do this" You underestimate my power 😞

[@thrashefe3523]

Probably the best video about sewing a patch, good thing tailor I went wanted a lot of money for sewing 10 patches so I have needle and thread at home

[@someguycalledsomeguy5765]

You’re such a beast and lifesaver i knitted some swatches and wanted to flair my pants and u made it eaaazyyy thanks

[@kavadarr]

Such a simple tutorial but oh so needed 😅 Haven't sown anything in 20 years but now I'm planning on making my first battle jacket! Wanted one since I was a teenager but hey, 30yo dads can pull them off too! ....right guys?

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Absolutely! 🤘 you're never too old to rock a kick ass jacket. It's not like 30 is old anyway.

[@krisztianvincze4918]

I saw quite a few videos about sewing patches and yours is by far the most simple and to the point tutorial that i found. Really apprecaite it.

[@MadiDanger]

Thank you! I’m so happy to hear it 🖤

[@krisztianvincze4918]

@@MadiDanger Your very welcome. Just subscribed to you channel, many cool videos. :)

[@DAZED_VII]

Broken down so well and easy! I’m hittin’ my punk stride with this one! 😤

[@wild-radio7373]

As an old lady punk myself, i can confirm the dental floss. ProTip: swipe or buy some upholstery thread.

[@KelsaurusRex]

I wasn't looking for this, just came across it in my feed since I've been watching some beginner sewing videos, and I'm glad I did! You're very nice, provide easy to follow and succinct instructions. The kickass style and gorgeous makeup are a bonus 🤍

[@Weirdalsaccordion]

Thank you for keeping it simple, you saved my life🙏 (not literally)

[@AlfredSoul]

I would advise to actually start sewing from the outside of the jacket inward, so the knot of the thread ends up underneath the patch, between it and the fabric. This means you have to do an extra stitch, but the knot is protected from being rubbed against inside and thus weakening over time. If you're really fancy, you can try and put the final knot on the outside aswell, underneath the edge of the patch, but that is tricky to do and if you use a thick thread, hiding it might not work as well.

[@jasona4772]

this made it a lot less intimidating to do myself. and good to learn there's embroidery thread.

[@greenrage27]

I've always wanted to do up my Levi's jacket, and I have hard rock patches from all the way back in 1993 to the 2010's so this tutorial really helps me understand a simpler way to do it. Thank you very much Madi.

[@ironwolfosiris]

I'll eventually gather the patience and courage to put all the patches I've collected over the years into a battle jacket! Love your videos!

[@VictorianDeadrose]

Thanks for sharing! I'm slowly building up some cute patches myself, and once I get them onto my black denim jacket, I'm definitely using embroidery thread to put them on. I agree with you on iron on patches, it kinda scares me because I'd be the type of person to want to move them or maybe even relocate onto a new jacket. Definitely something I'd like to share on my own channel!

[@spookyloop5174]

This was a huge help! I already own an obscene amount of embroidery floss so all I had to buy for sewing supplies was thicker needles. Plus I’ve been able to coordinate the thread with the patches.

[@flyyoufools6875]

I’ve been ironing patches for years due to being too intimidated by sewing, I was super happy to find your video, thank you! Also just realized that I recognize you from around town! I’ve always wondered what bands you listen to so this was a fun little find!

[@AlrightOhYeahOK]

Thanks to you I had my first set ready just in time for a gig, you're the best 🤘🏼

[@Durst_meister]

I have a battle vest and I love adding new patches. Didn’t think of embroidery thread so I’ll be using that now and stitching over my patches!

[@jamesruppert3152]

[@halloweennerd4076]

Great Video, you make it look so easy. I've done some jackets and vest in the past but I always just used regular thread. I can't wait to try your way and get started on a new battle vest. Stay cool and Creepy! 🤘💀🤘

[@sammyhagar495]

You have good taste, I normally bring my vest to the oriental lady who does a fantastic job but charges $5 per patch. Your video has encouraged me to do my own stitching

[@brodyrichard263]

Damn those patches are so sick I want them so bad!

[@ironpunk666]

Thank you for this tutorial! have so many patches i wanted to use but never really knew how lol

[@armanddehorta]

Thank you. I have a battle vest with some band patches on it a friend gave me but found something I want to it and figured I'd sew it on instead of applying fabric glue.

[@boneidlewhitney3758]

Great video! Just what i needed for a first timer 😁

[@TheMetalwolf77777]

Thank you so much for making this video I forgot how to sell patches it's been so many years, oh and instead of dental floss this time I'm using triple thread

[@TomNJoshPlay]

Thanks so much for the help very easy to understand. Also didn’t know old school punks used dental floss that’s awesome

[@mikeleon5674]

Thank you for this. Starting my first battle jacket

[@j3tztbassman123]

From the other patches, it looks like a blanket stitch. Also good for buttons.

[@carlosquintanilla3700]

Hello Madi. Thank you for the video and helping this old man to complete a battle vest. I hope you are doing well.

[@JeremyBowkett]

Hi, Madi. Thanks for your sewing tips! I wasn't sure about what to do with iron-ons, and hadn't considered that the adhesive could prove to be a problem later if I wanted to move the patch, or the issue with peeling. I didn't know about embroidery thread as opposed to, I guess, regular sewing thread, so the embroidery thread looks like an excellent option. Also, I don't know if you're into this, but I hope I may wish you a Merry Krampusnacht!

[@seraphinascholz]

Long time no see! As always, amazing work, and I really love the setting and design you chose for the video. ^^ 🖤🕸️

Jesus, thought that was a young Winona Ryder there. Great vid

[@ericapaul7989]

That’s what I thought!! 😂

[@wildwolves195]

don't know why, but I assumed embroidery thread wouldn't be very durable. (I'm secretly a gremlin that rolls around in the woods. my jacket needs to withstand Troubles.) I've been using upholstery thread, which is fine, but a bit limited in color choice! so thanks for this! you've got a great way of teaching.

[@indiedee]

I usually use the transparent plastic thread for security and then do funky stitching with some embroidery thread

[@ur_local_cat_bff]

thank you so much!! i’m about to make my first one in like a week so this helped a ton!!

[@TooPunkToBeAPodcast]

I like to use opposite color thread of my border, usually a color thats in the patch. Really makes it jump out. Thinking of trying glow in the dark thread

[@fadetoblack1026]

I use spray adhesive on the backs of my patches so they stick in place until I'm done sewing.

Can’t wait to start doing this!

First and foremost welcome back! I feel like you have been gone forever!! Second I love this video. I’m all into patches and I do use thread (black thread to be exact) because I love sewing. I’ve never used a glued on patch before is it easier then sewing? Btw your leather jacket is so rad!!!!! Keep being awesome 🖤🦇

Iron on patches are easier, but imo don’t look as good and are not as durable in the long run

Well my manifesting finally paid off, I walked into a local flea market today and what's the first thing I see but an old school looking leather jacket just like I'd been dreaming of. I check to see if it fits and it does then I check to see if I can afford it and I can. So naturally I got it. The only flaw to the jacket is the inside pocket needs some restitching. But I am so happy!!! 😃
