this is my vest so far! I've been working on it in my spare time, and though it's slow progress since im embroidering almost all the patches by hand, im super proud of what I've managed. if anybody has any ideas for sci-fi / cryptid / queer supportive / spooky patches, please let me know!
as a side note, i do have a large back panel for this vest where the "protect trans youth" patch is. the back piece will only be attached with safety pins, so i think I'm going to put my more political patches there so if i feel unsafe i can cover them up. i made it over the summer but i recently started going back and touching it up, so I'll make a post with it soon!

for about a week now I've been working on a DIY vest. it's not a battle vest, but i am taking inspiration from some of the patch ideas and maybe adding spikes
here's my process so far:
(EDITED with image descriptions - thanks for the reminder in the tags!!)
i dyed a pale blue vest with one full bottle of graphite synthetic dye. it's still sadly a little blue, but it's dark enough that it isn't super noticable, so I'll live. if you have any questions about the exact process, ill answer them in the comments!
i then added two regular pockets after seam ripping the fake ones - why do they even put fake pockets on these - and two inner pockets using the shape of the upper pocket as a guide. one of them is embroidered with quotes from a post by turboennui on here about Laika, the first dog in space sent from Russia
then i added a detachable hood taken from an old sweatshirt, which is attached to the vest via six buttons. i get anxious when i don't have a hood on my clothes, so if i don't wear this vest over a sweatshirt, i still have the option to have more comfort
yesterday, i planned out and began embroidering the back panel. it will be a detachable piece of black fabric from an old button up shirt, connected only with safety pins so i don't have to commit to a theme and instead have multiple artworks to swap out. this one is a few black ferns and a pale blue moth (type undecided) atop a starry night sky background
if you guys have any ideas of stuff to add or embroider, or tips for making a denim vest in general, comments are greatly appreciated! ill post another update once the vest is finished

Do you like books about guys and girls that spend the entire book as best friends and don’t get together at any point in the story?
Do you like books where “aaaaagggghhhhh [my telekinesis throws the furniture across the room]” is not just a hilarious Tumblr post, but also something that happens at regular intervals to the deuteragonist?
Do you like books where sixteen-year-olds get sacrificed by their parents to eldritch gods that live in their basement but the sacrifice doesn’t entirely take and they Come Back… Right? Sort Of????
(It’s my first book and also, like, it’s free on Kindle Unlimited and only $4.99 on Kindle, and if you really can’t afford it, you can send me a message with your email and I can send you a PDF of it, so like… why not, y’know.)
Maalik (the one with wings), and Samael (the one with horns)
Maalik was created by my best friend, while Samael was created by myself - matching lover OCs! i drew these with ink pen and Ohuhu alcohol markers
