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. 🖤

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 😅

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

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 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.

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). 😀

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

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

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!

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.

@@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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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 🤍

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Hey! I’m new to punk scene, old to the sewing scene. The stitch you are doing is called a whip stitch! Love ur work :)

Very helpful, thank you! I needed to sew a couple of patches myself and glad I saw this video.

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!

I was just thinking about you, thank you for this how to ! Made it super easy to understand. I think I got a new project to finish!

Thank you scary goth woman

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! 🤘💀🤘

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Thank you for this. Starting my first battle jacket

A fun and useful tutorial. I'm too auld and lazy to sew patches. I take all my sewing to an awesome tailor's shop: Tailor To Go!

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!!! 😃

Should a diffrent knot be done for normal sewing thread since its much thinner or would you always recommend embroydery thread (it looked super cool!)? I tried with normal sewing thread and it just followed with the needle through the jacket up. If normal thread what size?

@MadiDanger

You can try knotting it up extra thick, but if that still doesn’t work I’d do a tiny stitch and loop the needle through it so that it stays and doesn’t need to depend on a knot. Hopefully that all made sense lol
