making a horror themed jacket

[@jackiedawn5845]

an old school punk tip is to use dental floss instead of thread for extra strength on your patches

[@Noah-rq3xt]

Jackie Dawn wait that’s actually so good wtf!!!

[@jorgepena4809]

I came to comment the same thing! lol

[@alaniglesias5661]

dude i was just about to say

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

And you're minty fresh! 😆 sorry

[@salemfae]

yoo thank you for this

[@lookitskatiex]

I love this idea! Side note: I'm so late to the party on this but I finally watched the Haunting of Hill House and my mind was blown. Holy hell, the cinematography, the writing, the acting, the monologues, the artful reveal of the story...woah.

[@MustaineIsGod]

It truly is beautiful, one of my favourite shows of all time. I love it so much that I'm excited for the follow up season, but also kind of want them to just leave it where it ended in season 1.

[@jdbonzo1]

@@MustaineIsGod Season 2 most likely will not be following the same characters. The director mentioned wanting to do an anthology. Possibly following previous families who lived in Hill House.

[@kristinkiely]

@@jdbonzo1 ​ Do you guys maybe know when season 2 will come out!?

[@strangeavocado9279]

I didn’t like how many jump scares they were, but the show is amazing

[@sunny_sides]

repurposing a shirt graphic as the back patch is such a genius idea omg. I'm still waiting for a denim jacket that fits me properly to show up in the thrift store so I can customize it too. thank you for sharing the process, love ya 💕

[@djunaskye6220]

I love the idea of repurposing a t-shirt graphic into a backpatch! Now if only I had a cute graphic tee that was too small.

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

The wonderful thing about DIYing a denim jacket is that it's so casual nothing has to be perfect. In fact, crooked patches, weird stitching, etc adds to the character of the piece.

[@megandrover340]

im a metalhead and my first Battle vest i used an old Metallica ride the lighting crop top for the backpatch , was actually my first ever metal tee that i got from forever 21 when i first got into metal. my current main (metal) battlevest i started as a horror vest but it was taking way too long to find patches i liked without resorting to the internet so i scrapped that and started loading it with death metal and stuff. i currently have 4 battlevests but they are still all metal.

[@Katrinberndt]

Damn it I want to do this as well!!!!! But on another theme.... hmmm... time to spend $$$$$ and go second hand denim shopping. 😅

[@PollyW326]

The jacket came out so cool! My favorites are the original Halloween (it's got a place in my heart), the original Carrie, The Blair Witch Project and Friday the 13th.

[@ToxicSherbetSyringe]

oh mY G OD S A M E ! !

[@natashapearson2773]

Note from a seasoned seamstress, thinner, smaller needles work better through thick fabrics, since it lowers the friction

[@amandac1835]

Love the jacket! Just a tip for the enamel pins, get locking pin backs from amazon, so they don’t fall off and get lost!

[@justinlopez4501]

Amanda C and super glue the inside if your that dedicated in it staying in the same spot cause ive lost many at concerts .

[@chelsiemalfoy]

OMG yes. My husband bought a denim jacket (in the style of a motorcycle jacket) off Angry Young & Poor for me to put a bunch of band patches on for him. That thing was THICCCCC!! And It had a bunch of hidden pockets I had to try to avoid sewing shut. Took me hours just for a few patches and I had to use a thimble & a pair of pliers for EACH STITCH!! He's lucky I love him so much. lol My fav horror movies are Trick R' Treat & Tokyo Gore Police.

[@laurengarcia3838]

I think I'll do this with my old Johnny Cash/Wu-Tang shirt. Growing up I would go to backyard shows and always want to make jackets like them but never felt cool enough 😅 The time has come

[@itscinna5540]

Me: :( KZbin App: Sarah Hawkinson just uploaded a new video! Me: :)

[@user44769]

Love it. I'm a total museum girl, so this inspired me to make my own diy denim jacket with patches and pins of my favorite local museums

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

That's a fantastic idea! I did one with a bunch of patches from National Parks I've visited.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Love the idea

[@morgan32]

When my mental health is off crafting are some of the best ways for me to calm my mind, sometimes I can't focus on the task at hand but usually, knitting or sewing really helps calm me down. Love the jacket and you look really pretty in this video Sarah!

[@ameliahawes773]

Definitely doing this! I have a vision of a horror themed jacket and a rust coloured sweater in the fall

[@pvilches06]

Your horror jacket came our really awesome! The patches and pins you selected are great looking ones. Thank you for sharing your process of creating it. I hope you get to share other diy stuff, maybe adding on to this or another jacket. I am actually about to start making my first horror themed vest (I already have a few others, thrash/death/black metal bands). 😊 You already mentioned my favorite movie, John Carpenter's The Thing (followed closely by The Howling). Amazing video and I love your horror Channel, Sarah. You have a new subscriber! 😊

[@nicolacook1699]

Love the video and therapeutic. My fave horrors are Halloween (1978) , The Thing , the shining , The Ring and Alien . Guilty pleasure one location films especially shark / sea ones

[@1712ki]

Enamel pins and you diying? My favourite things!!! Love these videos from you where you feel chilled out.

[@someamorplease]

Ahh I want to do this to my jacket now. I’m thinking Freddy Kruger slashes on the back will look dope.

[@salemfae]

Instead of trying to pin down patches while sewing, I use a tiny bit of craft glue

[@taylorcunningham2594]

That is a great graphic for the back! This is a great way to show your love of horror. Years back I cut the graphic from a t-shirt, and used a bunch of safety pins to attach it to the back of a denim shirt. I wanted to use red embroidery thread, but misplaced it- so I improvised. There are just too many awesome horror movies in existence to pick just one! Here's some that i love that often get overlooked: High Tension (2003), The Pact (2012), Sinister (2012)

[@lorethehobbit]

I’d be interested to hear how you enjoy horror films as a highly sensitive person as i’m also a HSP and I can barely listen to scary music without getting upset 🤷🏻‍♀️ And gore makes me feel physically ill and shaky :( however I love anything creepy but wholesome like Addams family, Coraline & tim burton. I liked this video nevertheless!

[@Oo-so2jk]

B e l l a what about spirited away form studio ghibli it’s really calming but still a little creepy

[@torigroves1048]

I did this with a Jean jacket and a shirt of The Crow! It looks so cool! Also a few of my favorite horror movies are The Thing, Hush, Us, Scream, and It Follows 😊

[@vickytime3855]

I loved It Follows too!

[@unbekannt8872]

I am the only person that hate it follows? I watched years ago, but I think it is so boring. I should watch it agian, everybody say it is so good

[@amberpeterson4679]

I wanna do this but for my favorite bands

[@virtual_fairy]

when i was first making my battle vest, i kept using dollar store needles and thread to sew on my patches... 0/10 would not recommend. gotta use a good needle and good thread. really relaxing video, sarah!! ♥♥

[@desicarrion7000]

I’m so inspired 😍 thank you 🖤 oh and my fav horror movie is Silence of the Lambs

[@avery7957]

I did this exact thing with a jacket except it's all metal bands and some supernatural stuff, embroidery floss and thicker needles actually give it a really cool look

[@Emu_bird]

That is SICK! Such a cool idea, and it fits you perfectly.

[@carlosayala1996]

This looks sooo good, looking at pins and patches now so it can be ready by this October🎃

[@hiiiiliv]

I always sow on my iron on patches mostly because then if needed I can reuse them on other clothing items 🙌🏻 also love this jacket looks amazing!

[@jakewaitart9507]

Omg the whole cut up T-shirt for a jacket backing is a great idea! I have this old drawstring i got from Disneyworld that I used almost every day and it was falling apart but I loved the dragon design on it (it was from the China section of Epcot) and I just got a jean jacket so I think I might sew it on there now 😬

[@djunaskye6220]

Using embroidery thread instead of sewing thread is totally normal! Lots of people use it to sew things on in a decorative way, like with a blanket stitch or a whip stitch, for example.

[@Andrea31-10]

OMG I can´t believe this, I was doing a marathon of your videos and here you are again! Love you and I can't wait for the Halloween season videos. It would be perfect watch those until my birthday wich is exactly october 31st :3

[@letyourselfrest8932]

I just came back from watching Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!! It was soooo good. My favorite horror movie of all time is probably Hereditary. I love all the little details and bits of foreshadowing from that film, and the cinematography is gorgeous to me. The building sense of doom throughout from the first time I watched it was amazing.

[@allystewart7534]

I've probably sewn hundreds of patches on to different garments and I ALWAYS reach for embroidery floss! I find that it holds really well and can add a really cool visual element

[@ilonabellin1236]

so amazing!! love every single thing on this jacket !! more DIY videos please !!

[@lanananaland]

This turned out so cool!! I liked how chill this video was btw, hope you start feeling better soon!

[@danibosman5342]

I’m literally on Etsy right now looking for cheap pins and patches to make my own spoooy jacket (I’ve had the jacket for years, but I don’t like how the pins on it aren’t cohesive). I might just do some painting on it later too... I feel like if I had the money to, I’d make so many different themed denim jackets! Okay, sorry for the long comment- but I love it! It looks so rad xx

[@LemonSte]

I made my leather jacket halloween themed! bunch of enamel pins - a creepy beetle one, one with a hand reaching out of popcorn, a box of 'noodles' that are actually worms, gravestones and skeletons and a spellbook and so on. also got a patch with a hearse and blood that says something i can't remember lol

[@Bdognintendo777]

This is the kind of content I love! For iron on patches I usually borrow my mom’s hair straightener and close it between the top of patch and bottom of fabric, works just as well.

[@jelllllllly4954]

My favorite horror movies are The VVitch, the Exorcist, Babadook, Silence of the Lambs, and Candyman. Definitely need to make my own horror jacket now! Loved this 🖤🦇

[@guadalupetorres]

the ring is my favorite scary movie too🖤 I freaking love Samara, probably because I have straight long hair like her lol

[@trishalenon6395]

I love the jacket!! I’m still looking for a good thrifted jean jacket, I’ve always wanted to put patches and such on one. Super cool!!

[@krisdepp890]

I genuinely loved this video so much. I completely understand what you mean by trying to distract yourself in the best way possible and this is it. The jacket is definitely you and I love seeing how happy you are at the end while trying it on and I can't wait to see what else you add to it!! Hope you feel better soon xx 🖤

[@ChelseaNutbrown]

Love this! Pro tip, stitch the corners of patches in place first if you haven’t got pins and then it won’t move around 🤓

[@xpopstarx1]

I have a battle vest and sew all my stuff on it with embroidery thread. Keeps it in place better.

[@august6104]

Ah this is so cute! Your channel is so relaxing to watch at the end of a long day!

[@nancyknoll2963]

Oh my gosh, I loved that you repurposed that awesome graphic t!!! I'm definitely going to check out depop.

[@satanicsycophant1501]

silence of the lambs oooop

[@jaredzicari2606]

My theatre played the 1974 Texas chainsaw massacre! I loved seeing it on the big screen

[@justinlopez4501]

Jared Zicari some movies are meant to be in a giant dark room with loud speakers coming from all around

[@justinlopez4501]

I feel the same cutting/ cropping any shirt cause if i fuck up then theres little to no way of fixing it

[@karenataylor6390]

I’ve been subscribed for a few years now, but never watched one of your DIYs, but this was so relaxing to watch for me and gave me some great ideas for my denim jackets!

[@mimmikibilly]

You could sew the back in place and refine it by making like a diagonal spiral stitch all around it with embroidery floss. That way it will look like you did half circles all around it and it will stay better in place.

[@lottmay9135]

Love this idea so much and will deffo be doing it !!! Would’ve looked even cooler if you used red embroidery floss or thread on the back ‘patch’ as it would stand out ❤️

[@Bad_things_happen2me]

Probably too late, but you should put "Be kind, rewind" next to the ring tape.

[@heartbreakerink8696]

This looks so cool!! My favourite horror film is probably Rosemary’s Baby, and I also have a bit of a guilty pleasure of 47 Meters Down (even if it’s not a true horror)

[@vickytime3855]

Thank you for sharing this, it really cheered me up. It turned out awesome. 👌

[@calderrondeau]

you have become my favourite youtuber, I freaking love your content and I love your love of Halloween and horror!

[@sofiamuoio4154]

I can’t wait for Halloween. Y’all have NO idea

[@debbiehinch8067]

It turned out great! My favourite, by far, is The Shining. It's visually, and aurally stunning, and still gives me the creeps, but on such a subtle level - hello Tony!

[@FrenkiHykollari]

this is so cute and therapeutic to watch please make more laid back videos like this!

[@uhohspaghettiosify]

28 Days Later is my favorite scary movie and basically my actual favorite movie. It’s so good and I feel like it never gets talked about. :( It came out when every other movie that came out was a zombie movie but it’s not just another throwaway zombie flick.

[@jules5293]

This is so frikin cool!! Glad you have something that you know makes you feel better when you’re not feeling your best! And you end up with something so dope in the end keep doin u !

[@imaawesomer]

You could use your hair straitened for the iron on patches if you don’t have an iron

[@itscinna5540]

I think as long as you wash it on a gentle cycle it should be fine! You can also even handwash it if you don’t trust your washer :)

[@katelynjacobi1289]

Also turning it inside out will help protect the patches, I think!

[@danieladamico5485]

Loved this video! The jacket looks awesome. My favorite horror movie is probably the American version of The Ring as well. Also, even though they're not considered "horror" in the traditional sense of the genre, David Lynch's movies scare the shit out of me. I guess I enjoy the ones that make you feel like you're inside a nightmare.

[@superherocrap]

This is kind of random but the color of your eyes match the jacket and wow also, love this idea and I hope you feel better soon uwu

[@danielcarey5529]

This idea for a jacket is really great, I love it and my favourite horror films are resident evil, night of the living dead and silent hill

[@coneymartz6325]

This is why i love using no sew thread instead od needle and thread

[@donedone874]

I love videos like these ! :) i find them to be relaxing ! And give me ideas on what to do to keep me off my phone and busy ! Thanks for sharing ! Love how it came out!

[@kimackerman2183]

I've had a denim jacket for a while and the same idea as Sarah. Now that I've seen her video I have an idea on how to start it

[@KerlyFries]

Thank you. I needed this. I’m having a bad mental health day myself and this inspired me to work on the two denim vests I’ve had forever.

[@meloveegg4388]

the jacket turned out so cute!! & this video was such a great distraction from my own life problems

[@xxxemoxxxgirlxxx8]

Love this! I have a black denim jacket that I use to put all my horror pins too! Maybe I’ll add patches to it

[@nicolepowers7572]

The artist of the skeleton and cat pin is Tiina Menzel and her Instagram is @therese_nothing if you wanna check out more of her stuff! Just thought you would like to know the artist 💜

[@dantepierrot]

Sleepaway camp. Campy horror movie about camping, amazing.

[@ireymm]

This was such a nice video! it did really feel like us just hanging out. Also i never sweat but i always sweat when i'm crafting stuff lol. I dont think i have a favorite horror movie, but i'm getting into the classics (very late tho cause i've been into horror movies for YEARS i just watch the new stuff) The jacket looks awesome, that's a really cool idea.

[@deb_step]

I love the finished product! Well done! Favorite horror film? That's hard I dont know if I have a favorite but I'll go with the ring or trick r treat

[@hazneverended]

I’m sorry you’re not feeling great but loving that you’re doing something for yourself. Sending lots of love xx

[@jw-27j01]

I kinda wanna do something similar to this with my denim jacket as I’ve got kinda bored of it but I have literally no experience in sewing so that could be a fail

[@rowanbradley8823]

Since you don't have an iron you can use a straightening iron, especially on the pocket patch.

[@larafaith84]

Ha, I've been wanting to do this with a vintage theme... it looks good.

[@Gunicin]

I loooove this video!! The fact that it is 21mins long is a plus too!! Yay to the longer videos from Sarah :)

[@rosy1586]

This is a really cool idea video. This is not my aesthetic but really gave me good ideas to try it myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@KatieoftheNight]

You asked for our fav scary movies so I'll say mine are currently... sleepaway camp, suspiria (original), and black christmas (originial)!

[@xraikou8508]

My absolute favourite is and will always be conjuring 💞💞 I also like the grudge A LOT

[@RawRimaPolarBear]

Aww, just one horror movie? lol, my top horror movies are definitely The Shining, Psycho, It (remake & original) and The Witch :3 Your horror jacket turned out great! You've definitely inspired me to create my own horror jacket ^_^

[@mrsGasky]

If anyone is intrested in this shirt: its from Wicked Clothes, they have a lot of super cool horror/spooky/kinda weird but in a cool way designs!

[@jollynyoung]

wonderful idea! and so the end result looks amazing. I love the patches that fits perfectly with this jacket. I want to make one myself

[@GinGibberish]

Creepshow is the BEST! The Ted Danson in the sand part is so great.

[@amybutler6256]

Sewing on the patches to my metal vest was very calming and therapeutic. Now I want another vest for horror

[@midnighteyeYT]

my favourite horror movie as of yesterday is now midsommar but before that it was it follows

[@LM-zs1ng]

I think my favorite horror movie is the sixth sense, it’s not really scary but I absolutely love it

[@ashleydickens24]

seeing the plastic fastener still attached the tag really bothered me ajdkjfkljajfel but overall great video girl. you have really soothing energy

[@sungod1141]

That jacket is so cool I might try and make my jean jack look cool

[@spookyjinglebells8265]

On a vest I have, I have a “I want to believe” graphic from a shirt! As for movie it would be Scream

[@megandrover340]

OH MY GOD my boyfriend does like half inch long stitches on his battlevest too and as someone who sew more than just patches on vests .. its such a big pet peeve of mine

[@ashleighmenser]

I think you should do more horror lifestyle content on this channel. It’s so hard to find classy, clean, chic lifestyle horror vids 😩 whole bunch of dudes and a lot of the women are too gothic for myself and many others. You have a great aesthetic that I love! It’d be good to see both these sides of you merge because they are obviously a huge part of who you are! More lifestyle horror vids!! Lol

[@Wintercirce]

I love it! It's so cool! I recanted put a patch on my denim jacket but it was a harry potter patch lol, it really makes your jackets you're own.
