Seven minutes in and we're pinning on the patches. Real star of the show must be those studs!!!!
Love your channel, and love your work. Just a little heads up, the iron on glue on the patches is just so you can iron your patch in place, and then sew without having to pin. Give it a try. It may help. Also, you can use heat and bond to do the same thing on patches without adhesive.
Idea: get denim baseball-style caps and dye them to match each vest, and throw a logo patch on the front.
Thank you for showing us your process: all of the tips and all your mistakes. I've been there...thinking I'm just sewing along with nothing in my bobbin.
Omg the empty bobbin is the bane of my existence 😭
Very Ed Repka-esque color scheme 👍
best vest i’ve seen on here. All the rest are cut sleeves and as much patches as you can fit lol
Thank you! I feel like people can decorate their vest however they see fit but I don’t like mine completely covered in patches, I like some of the denim to be seen and leave room for studs
INDIE MERCH! I never thought about these licenses for things. The bands lose on the fakes!!
Great work, well done and the whole concept is on point, best whishes from munich, germany.
Thank you for the kind words! Cheers from the states
I admire the work you do and the effort and dedication you put into creating the content of your videos. I was looking for ideas since for the first time I am putting together a battle vest. Btw what a good taste in music. Your channel definitely deserves more subscribers. Subbed & Rock On!
Thank you so much! I hope the channel keeps growing so I can have more time to create more content
❤💋💥🙌😎🙏
SEWING AIR!! LOL!! The pain of the learning curve! The things you learn along the way! What a LABOR OF LOVE. That's why this vest looks so spectacular.. the cattle decap patch WOULD be hard lol.. just the patches alone make this metal couture!! But the metal details are just the icing on the cake!! Each step in this process is so labor intensive and a part of the journey of creating your Art!
Thank you so much! Sewing air is literally the worst 😭 I can’t tell you how many times this happens despite years of sewing 😂
Wow! When I saw that vest on your tiktok I went insane! Now I know why! It just says ENERGY! So much went into making it! I usually just do shirts! But I am DEFINITELY going to do this. And going to watch your other videos too! Thank you for sharing!!!! 😘😘😘
Can you do leather jackets?
You're awesome!
Thank you!!!
Oh that's awesome
Great vid Kristen! Vest turned out great!
thank you for this =)
Badass friend right here!! madd great advice!!!
You can remove the glue from most patches. I just score the back with a razor and use pliers to pull it off.
Fantastic tip! Gonna make a note of that for the next time I’m sewing patches
Didn't realize the STAY TECH patch was Archspire. I have that shirt from their show I saw in 2019. They were AWESOME.
I’ve seen them twice! Amazing live show
amazing!
Thank you
Omggggg this is GORGEOUS!!! I adore the bleach wash red!! I want to do this!
Yessss do it!
This is such a class vest! Nice one Lass!
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites I’ve made
Beautiful job
Thank you so much!
This is the most beautiful vest I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing your creative process with us. Would you be willing to make a custom vest?!
That was cool as fuck, seriously! Awesome! Extra points for Unleash the Archers and the Crypta shirt
This is so damn awesome :OO
WoW rocking channel CKC \mm/ very creative
Just starting my first battle jacket! Nice tutorial. Thanks for posting \m/
Thanks for watching! Hope your jacket comes out awesome
@@CosmicKristen thanks! I've only been in the scene for 30 years I figured I better make one 😂
@@dogfacedgod hell yeah!
Rewatched again, and it seemed (seamed, heh) on 1 or more of your patches that you were sewing on that you sewed on the inside of the patch binding. It appeared so. If that's the case, what is the benefit of that?
If you have time! Thank you either way 😊
I really dig you vids, I love what you do. Can you do a tutorial on faux fur on a battle vest. I'm doing some spots on the front and a collar and to be honest I'm a little lost and unsure what to do to the ends of the fabric to keep it from unfraying.
Oh yes! My best friend (who also is an amazing sewist) sent me a big pile of faux fur and she even sent me tips on cutting it without making a mess of fur everywhere
hey! love ur vest!! I noticed that you're using scissors to snip the threads after you finish sewing, so just a heads up, there's actually a built in blade right there underneath the yellow& black sticker! I've seen a few people not know about it, so figured I'd share :)
The blade broke on mine and I never replaced it 😭 but yes that is a feature on this one
@@CosmicKristen oh that's so sad! i'd probably never break the habit of going to use it lol. the new machine im saving up for actually has a button to snip the thread, it does it for you!! which blew my mind lol
@@kincendium411 I still try to use it every now and again. This machine has been with me before I started college. I just got a serger and I have a vintage Elna and I really gotta start playing with then but this machine is my ride or die so I just always gravitate towards it
You should lay your garments on a metal grate when rinsing this way you can just blast it with a hose till it’s clear ish water…. Just a thought…. Your a bad ass keep it up.
I used to have a metal grate for this but lost it in a move. I might buy some metal shelves like they use in food service for this (because when dying you risk everything bleeding through the back)
I was wondering how to wash the jacket with the studs and spikes still on the jacket, but without them rusting. I just started on my first vest with a lot of studs and spikes🔥🔥
I’ve always washed my vests and never had rust issues. I throw mine in the dryer to on a lower heat setting. It annoying because it makes so much noise but it’s never messed up my vests
Before you sew anything on your vest take like 3 old clapped out band shirts and glue them on the inside with liquid stitch fabric mender or a similar fabric glue that way when you finish sewing and studding the shirts get inadvertently sewn on the inside and your vest will be semi reversible
You can also use acrylic paint instead of fabric dye after you bleach your vest
@@getzstoned530 I’ve done some fabric paint on denim before too! Gets a bit hard from the paint but also gives it a waxed denim look which is cool
Looks amazing!
But dosnt the bleach weaken the vest? I’m worried about using bleach 😭
It does which is why you wanna dilute with water. Never do straight up bleach on it or it’ll fall to pieces in the wash
Which one of the dyes did you use. I'm confused on which one to pick.
Dharma trading co brand. This one was called Chinese red and it’s a nice vibrant red. I recently bought their shade oxblood and it’s a great deep blood red
Hey! For your next DIY do u think u could make a chris fehn slipknot mask, i have some ideas on how u could make it but idk thought it would be a sick diy🤘🤘
P.S. Reptil sent me😝🤘
I gotta fester on some ideas on how to make one but that would be an amazing project! Slipknot was my first concert so they’re definitely a special band for me
@@CosmicKristenIf I Buy all the materials and send you my jacket would you be willing to come up with a price to stud and patch my jacket? I don’t have the patience to do it. 👀😘🤔
So what kind of machine is that and did it come with the studs in the kit ? ( name)
It’s a kenmore I bought probably 20 years ago. I’ll look up the model number. The studs I bought off some Etsy sellers (links are in the description)
Have you ever made a back patch out of a T-shirt ? Ive been wanting to but i havent seen many videos on it & i dont want to cut up a shirt for nothing 🙃 Some bands don’t make back patches ( or any patches at all sadly )
I’ve done this plenty of times and it works well. Just remember the tee material isn’t as heavy duty as patch material so leave extra room to fold the edges over and sew down or use a zig zag stitch to secure it properly. Next time I have a weathered tee to retire I’ll make a tutorial on this
@@CosmicKristen thank you !!!
How much would you charge if I mailed you my vest and my patches to put on? I don't trust myself to do it.
Shoot me an email! K.allen.paintings@gmail.com
Pricing would mainly depend on the number of patches and if you needed any studding on it
@@CosmicKristen OK sent
Is it an accident it looks like BLOOD? LOL 😆!! VERY METAL!
I was thinking the same thing while editing these!
🐶🐺🐱🐯
So with the band Rage Against the Machine, it was probably rage against this one, huh 😁
Only if the bobbin runs out of thread
Bien
Hello can I put patches on my vest using superglue?
I wouldn’t recommend glue because they will eventually start to peel off and then they will be very hard to sew through
