"I wish I could make my own patch pants!"
Listen to me. I am grabbing you by the face. You can. I need you to lock in. You can do it. You don't need expensive or brand new pants. Thrift a pair of pants. Get a pair your friend doesn't wear anymore. Ask around to see if people are getting rid of their clothing. There are pants. I promise. Okay. Get a plain shirt. Get some plain fabric. Same routine. Old shirts. Friend shirts. Old sheet. Cheap thrift shirt. Promotional tote bag you got two years ago. Hey. Look at me. You're doing great. You do not even need paint and a paint brush. You can get an acrylic paint pen. Write something on the fabric. Anything. Fun saying. Pronouns. Political opinion. Song lyrics. Anything. Cut out the fabric. Slap it on the pants. The hardest part is the sewing, but you are being so brave. It is thread through hole, then needle in and out of fabric. YouTube is your friend. Don't have thread? I've only ever used dental floss. The kind you can get at any store. It doesn't have to look good. It's not supposed to. The point is that you did it. You can do it. Hey, look at me. You can do it. Make the pants.
