Patch Pants Pfriday Pmonday

Went most of the year without working on these because of tendonitis shit, but now that I'm doing better I kinda went crazy adding patches recently:

Those blank patches won't stay blank forever by the way - the plan is to extend the tentacles from the octopus patch along them, winding around the other patches like mortar between bricks.

It's also not super clear in either the pictures or in person, but the keycaps over the woman's breasts/genitals say Ctrl+Alt+Del. :)

Patch Pants Pfriday #1: Barbed Wire Heart

My new year's resolution this year is to make patch pants, one patch every Friday. Pfriday. No silent letters.

The top edge is only whip-stitched to itself, so there are 3 layers of pockets there! (None of which I'm likely to ever use, because I don't like sitting on pocket-contents...)

Patch Pants Pfriday #5: War Is Terror

Gosh this one was annoying to sew - lots of layers of fabric to the fly, as well as avoiding sewing half the pocket shut?? But I did it, dammit!

Patch Pants Pfriday #2: In Case Of Billionaire, Break Glass

Patch Pants Pfriday #8: TemperMental

The stencil I made for this didn't work super well, so I cleaned up the result by bordering everything with a sharpie (and sharpieing over the parts that got painted but weren't supposed to)

Patch Pants Pfriday #7: Belt Loops

Due to a carpal tunnel flare-up, I wasn't feeling up to hand-sewing today, so I added some belt loops via sewing machine.

Why is 5 belt loops the standard, anyway? I could've sworn 7 was what I always had as a kid; 5 never feels like enough to keep a belt in place properly. Now I've got 9 😎

Patch Pants Pfriday #6: Jolly Roger

Patch Pants Pfriday #4: Death/Life

This was a design I came up with about 15 years ago for a jack-o-lantern, but a while back I revived it to make a patch out of!

Patch Pants Pfriday #would-have-been-9: Hiatus

Sweet mother, I cannot craft - slender tendonitis has overcome me with longing for not having to wear this hand brace.

...So yeah, not gonna be doing much DIY for a hot minute. :(
