hi! how is your jacket coming along?
I finally finished sewing on my favourite lyrics in 'Why?' by Bronski Beat onto the collar. Definitely need to go through and paint over in black in places, but it's not too bad. It gets hidden by my hair a lot anyway
I recently got a cool Shakespearean Ram badge from the University of Derby at a Higher Education fair. It's probably not going to stay on, and if it does then probably not on my collar, not sure where my badges are going to go. I need to befriend someone with a badge maker so that I can make some lol. Otherwise will have to do some shopping at HMV (I have a few already that could go on there)
Not made any new patches since last time yet as I've not had time between work and mocks. However, I did paint these massive rectangles onto the back of tote bags (what I use as the patch material lol) as prep for when I do! Here's a Captain Jack Harkness for size reference
Ideally, I will be doing my fire pattern on my sleeves if I can find a way to sketch it on first. The big rectangle is probably going to be split into two, one of which will be the eye design for Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the other a dagger design I have planned out with lyrics from Eight by Sleeping at Last:
It's going to be painted, with the plant and golden dripping bit being embroidered on. Very excited about that one. It's going on my sleeve (will be underneath the Pendragon Crest from BBC Merlin!)
Not sure what the smaller rectangle is going to be yet. Could be a number of things lol, I have a Pinterest board
Although I feel the need to make a Truthdare Doubledare patch, given it's the 40th Anniversary this year. I don't know if FOUR Bronski Beat references on one jacket is too much though...
Thanks for asking about my jacket, hopefully next time I'll have some more updates, and if I make any more progress soon, I'll tag you if you'd like! :D
