How To Sew A Patch

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

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 😅

[@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.

[@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.

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.

Good explanation. I was intimidated about the whole sewing part since that's how I wanted to make my battle vest, but this really made things clear to me. Thanks!

[@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). 😀

[@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

[@vindahngaming]

This tutorial is awesome! I've been taught to sew a bit differently - like using a single thread - but it makes so much sense to use a double thread for something like patching to ensure it stays secure. The ending knot technique is also a game-changer for me. I was taught by my stepmother to finish by stitching and then knotting that in place, but your method feels much cleaner and more efficient. Honestly, I might redo all my patches now! 😂 In all seriousness. Thank you! Having seen this video, your tips might make patching a lot more convenient.

[@someguycalledsomeguy5765]

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

[@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

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 🤍

[@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!

[@realshi-g2v]

thanks for the tutorial. when i went to poland on vacation, i got a free slayer patch from some dude at a store, and 3 months later i finally am sewing it on

[@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.

[@jakubmatysiak2010]

Thanks a lot, this feels like when i started studding my jacket for the first time, a beginning of a new journey through making a piece of clothing feel personal, have a good day

[@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.

[@cowsagainstcapitalism347]

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

[@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!

[@FilthyIcon321]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@wild-radio7373]

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

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.
