Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.
Tears aren’t a sign to throw away your clothes and add to the monster of thrown out clothes that nobody buys. Tears in clothes are great actually. They’re the universe telling you it’s time to add patches and cool stitching to your clothes.
This came up due to the fact I use Lyft bikes to get around and they don't have bottle holders, so I placed this pocket here because this part of my leg remains relatively upright while pedaling.
Heres the initial proof of concept
But it looked rather silly especially when not in use. It also flopped around a lot when a full drink is being held and I was walking around so I started to look into ways to collapse it and secure it when in use.
First attempt came up with this:
Which looks nice, but wouldn't help restrain the movement of the pocket with a bottle in it.
So I moved to this belt design, using straps I had designed for the pants in an earlier iteration.
And it works like a charm.
Holds the bottle in place, is easy to fold away, and looks nice in use.
Though not sure I like the red and might switch to black straps but I'd love to hear all your thoughts and possible improvements!
Belt pouch I made after a while of fantasizing about it <3
I find it quite funny that coincidentally reptil diy did a video on a bag like this, like a day after i finished it, shouldve waited for his video instead of what i did lol :D
It isnt the prettiest and i still have to install a zipper but im very happy with it. It holds small things that i always forget to specifically bring with me when leaving the house
Quit shaming people for having messy painted patches, that's not cool and the point of punk is working with what you have. I have very fucked up brushes and a small amount of paint most of the time so I can't pound it on there. I have no printers I can use and blades are extremely triggering for me. Is it readable? Yes? Then it's fine. I'm doing what I can, shaming me won't do shit. Plus, you're discouraging new punks from doing what they can with what they have and forcing them to buy from potentially horrible places. I don't have the best paint, I don't have the best brushes, I don't have the best fabric, fuck I don't have the best surfaces to paint on but I'm doing what I can. If you're shaming the people unable to afford certain things, that's not very punk of you.
I love every single person that posts their punk diy stuff on here. I look for it every day. Y’all are amazing, please keep creating sick gear for yourself and dopamine for all of us.
i bring a “i made it :D” to the “omg where did you get your clothes 😍” that people who participate in subcultures “for the aesthetic” don’t really appreciate
I think a lot of people, esp younger people and those newer to the scene, kinda don't understand what "punks dress punk" actually means
It's not some kinda elitist thing, and it's not 100% mandatory if doing so isn't accessible to you for whatever reason
What "punks dress punk" means is that we dress for ourselves and in a way that deviates from societal norms/what is typically "employable" and "acceptable" because that's what punk is about, it's about deviating from what is expected and what is palatable
just a reminder that us diy punks are just overgrown craft kids!!!! We are happiest with tape and paper and markers. We make little things!!! Just like your nephew little timmy!!!! We will gladly make a handprint turkey!!!! The only difference is we want human rights and use our little crafts as protest.
