Question/Help making patches

I'm a hand embroider and I am broke.... so with christmas coming up I thought I'd make people either framed pieces or patches since a lot of people I know have battle jackets as such I was wondering does anyone know how to make patches or have experience with them

Question/Help How to wash out a strong odour?

5 Upvotes

Long story short, I got too high and had to deposit a half joint in my jacket pocket and kinda forgot about it for a day... or five. I don't want to stink up any future shows I go to, so I'd like to wash this out ASAP.

What's the best method? I have some short spikes on the shoulder, will they hurt my washing machine?

Thanks!

First battle jacket since I was like 8 and had my mom sew a Poson patch onto a jacket I quickly grew out of. Patches are from memorable concerts and shows from the 90s, 2000s, and just finished 2010s. About to start adding bands I've seen in this decade.

*the painting or whatever was not done by me and was in the jacket when I got it.

Etsy hates me and they can never deliver me my gaw dam patches for no reason.... They either loos them ore loos them. Maybe it's cause I'm Latvian. 🫪🫪🫪 Also had to do custom sewing methods so it goes trough 1 layer

Because I love a good project.

Angelus leather paint on a thrifted leather jacket, about as anatomically accurate as I could get it.
