Patchwork: Me.

There was a lot of sewing on this vest.
I enjoyed it but damn my fingers were
bleeding and getting blisters. Also I made
most of the patches on this vest. By drawing
them myself with plain fabric them sewing
them onto my vest, I love how it turned out.

I really hope you all dig this photo!!

Of nothing, darling! I have also a very musical taste, from Mozart to Nalpalm Death. But, my favorite musicians are definitely Frank Zappa and The Residents.

Thank you very much!! Yes, that is so true.
But this fabric was so thin I didn't expect it to
make me bleed & hurt more then my jean one it

AdamAnesthetic In reply to GrotesqueDarling13 [2012-03-20 00:11:46 +0000 UTC]

wow. I was about to do my jean one, I might ask my mom to sew the stuff on. what fabric is it?

GrotesqueDarling13 In reply to AdamAnesthetic [2012-03-20 01:41:36 +0000 UTC]

The fabric for this? Thin red plaid.
Oh you have to sew it on it doesn't
count when your mom does it Plus
you feel a lot better about it if you
do the work on it. My jean vest was
a real bitch but she was worth it

AdamAnesthetic In reply to GrotesqueDarling13 [2012-03-20 01:49:48 +0000 UTC]

I used to have a thin red plaid one, totally tore, I was pissed, it was my favorite one. it doesn't? alright I'll go hardcore and bleedXD yeah you actually do feel better, like you accomplished something big.

GrotesqueDarling13 In reply to AdamAnesthetic [2012-03-20 01:57:44 +0000 UTC]

I've had that happen before. Naw it doesn't
count. Then that makes it your moms vest
because she put all the hard work into it.
DIY, do it yourself. Lol. Yes, you feel
accomplished because it put a lot of work,
time, effort and finished it even if it
was a bitch to work on

the clothing

GrotesqueDarling13 In reply to CRG-Free [2012-03-24 17:48:44 +0000 UTC]

Nope. Mainly because they would be
too expensive and no one would buy them.
They take a long time to make, plus are
very hard & time consuming

CRG-Free In reply to GrotesqueDarling13 [2012-03-25 09:09:32 +0000 UTC]

I bet they would be expensive. Do you keep them as art pieces or wear them or what?
