HOW TO: WRIST CUFFS DIY

Step 1: Old Jeans Waistband

- Cut off waistband from rest of pants

Step 2: Cut to Wrist Size (X2)

- measure around your wrist and cut

Step 3: Add Closure

-button + buttonhole or safety pin + soda tab works best imo

- Sew down soda tab to one side, safety pin to other

Step 4: Add Hardware

- good options are spikes, more safety pins, more soda tabs, staples, chains, and whatever else you can find

Step 5: SHOW OFF!!!!

I'm always getting told to post more about my crafts and whatnot so... patchwork Forgetmenauts shirt anyone?

Process under cut bc it was a scrap project and I had fun making it:

I had two green shirts I had been using as scrap fabric (first one was a graphic t shirt I didn't care for much, and the second is part of a shirt I thrifted mainly bc I adored the color and got it specifically for patch making). (Also sorry for poor quality on some images the camera lens on my phone is cracked lol.)

I really wanted a green shirt for layering (I've been slowly trying to get more earth tones in my wardrobe for a while, really), so I sliced and stitched these two pieces into one whole shirt again! I used my sewing machine to stick them together and hand stitched the smaller details I couldn't do on my machine. Then I forgot to take any more photos until after painting and cutting on it.

But that's how it came out! Pulled out my fabric paint (the tube was like 50 cents at the time I couldn't resist that) and drew the band name. I stylized the font more than initially intended, and I hope it's still legible to most folk lol (also noticed afterwards that some looked like actual Nordic runes. I must draw runes too much). Also cropped the shirt a bit (and will be saving the leftover fabric for another day!)

I was pretty happy with this result alone but I decided to be over the top and add some patches.

They're all references to songs (Card Shark, Charlatan in Red, Helena and Gerard, and the fangs are just... a general reference. I feel like a lot of creatures/people in their songs have fangs. Plus those are fun and easy to paint.)

Slapped those on and boom! Shirt! Finished shirt at the top. I'm rather happy with the end result (was aiming for a sorta gremlincore vibe with it so I think it was achieved). I might make changes eventually, like painting more details on or reinforcing some of the patches, but generally it's done. I'm mostly happy I achieved this with my scrap material! New merch for one of my favorite bands ever just from my leftovers! Always happy to be able to reuse and waste less. If you read this entire thing, bless you and have a good day/night <3

I’m labelling this as finished even though it isn’t, it’s one of those projects that will never really be ‘finished’ as it’s going to continue to grow and evolve over time. But I’m marking it as finished because it’s wearable, see those mushroom panels on the sides? I slashed the sides of the vest open and sewed them in to make it larger. I’ve had this vest for over a decade and it was a perfect fit back then and, well, since then I’ve not only gained weight, but I’ve also started testosterone which has resulted in weight redistribution and moved some of the fat from my face and hips to my stomach, so it needed adjusting to be comfortable to wear.

I’ve also sewn on a bunch of patches, technically since I took these photos I’ve added another patch and painted a huge trans flag on the back of it. I really do love my vest and now that it’s getting cold I wear it over my black and red pokemon jacket for an extra layer of warmth.

My favourite punk lyrics as cross stitch.

Spent the afternoon working on my first chart using Operation Ivy lyrics. I'll share when I'm happy with it.

double-knit scarf

I want to put realistic looking/anatomically correct hearts on my battle jacket sleeves (like one big one on each forearm) bc of the "wearing your heart on your sleeve" phrase. But also I'm a Mechanisms fan and want to make one look like metal and one look like flesh as a Mechs reference (Jonny and Brian) but...... I have some ideas but I can't decide how to do it so here's some buttons for y'all to push if anyone sees this

I am heavily encouraging but also not pressuring you to talk in the notes/tags if you see this post btw <3 the encouragement comes from excitement bc I've been wanting realistic hearts on my sleeves for a couple years now :)

first time doing embroidery!

I added some spiderwebs to the collar of a shirt I thirfted recently. I don't have much embroidery experience so the line work isnt fantastic but I love it.

Another embroidered patch I had a lot of fun with! I hadn't drawn a dog I was happy with before making this patch, but by jove after I was done sketching I could draw a doberman at a three-quarters angle. I got to sew it to my girlfriend's jacket too :)
