#patch jacket

[mcromwell]

Have you ever posted a full picture of your patch jacket?? I absolutely adore your art and the idea of a piece of clothing covered in it intrigues me !!!!

I haven't!! Thanks for asking, here it is:

It started as a reversible batik robe-type jacket that I got from an estate sale for $2. Then, since it's just thin cotton layers, it began to fall apart and fray and snag on wire on the farm, so I started sewing it back together and patching it. Eventually that led to a rekindling of my interest in visible mending and clothing alteration. I started sewing my own printed patches on just for fun. Then I got patches from other artists through buying or trades. The crossstitch wolf came from the thrift. The big back patch is a sublimation printed tapestry that I ordered as merch that *sucked ass* so I just kept them lol. And now I'm armed with a bedazzler and actual sewing machine. It'll be interesting to see how the jacket evolves over time. It goes under the needle every now and again, for 10-30 minute stints usually, while we're watching YouTube in the evening.

Thanks for asking to see it! I love my silly coat. It's starting to function as a shield against corporate-types and religious fundamentalists, so it's also a functional art piece.

I KEEP forgetting to post wips but uhh here you go. a handful of progress pics on my jacket, EXTREMELY pleased with how the button collar turned out. I will certainly be incorporating it into other projects 🪡

Lets say, my burning Cybertruck didn't turn out as well as i thought it would

Maybe we just have to burn some more Teslas to admire their beauty

Patch jacket is getting the bedazzler treatment

tried a new technique for patches and i am obsessed with the result!!??!? ok so the background is paint made from equal parts cheap acrylic paint and fabric softener, then i let it dry, stamped on a cybertruck, and boom u have a lovely cybertruck on fire patch. largely inspired by the fact that we have one of these fuckers in my town now

i also used a mix of orange and neon orange paint and hopefully that will make it look Extra Cool under black light and shit. making some white stamp versions soon!! YIPPEE

there are a lot of things i wish i had cleaned up or made better choices with but on the whole i am suuuuuper proud of it

^ a few patches i really liked, this picture doesn’t do the starry night patch justice it’s one of the best things i’ve ever painted

Wow this blog has over 100 followers! I think nows a good a time as any to show off my battle jacket. A lot of the patches are hand embroidered while others I got direct from the artists!
