The library in my city has a maker space. Including a Janome embroidery machine.
So I started making myself patches.
Hard to tell from the photo because of the inch height difference, but same size as a SAK scale.
I really love Victorinox Swiss Army Knives.
How much do I love my Leatherman Wave? Enough to want to make a patch of it.
Lion I just did as a gift for a friend.
A 40 year obsession. The Golden Section.
Another, even older obsession.
I've been a Guust Flater (or Gaston Legaffe - depending on which side of the Flemish Walloon divide you came down on) fan for a very long time. It still has the capacity to make me ache from laughing. That deserves a patch!
One of the first things I made. A patch of the logo of the tattoo shop I work at.
Death's Head Moth.
Crummy first attempt on the right, lovely new one on the left. Let's call them, Roundel, RCAF, Embroidered, Mk. 1 & 2.
Better shot.
Triskehelions.
Gift for a Star Wars geek friend. (He has two stormtrooper outfits and is a member of the 501st Legion.)
Being a giant, I’ve always had an affinity for the Wookies.
You might be surmising I have a love for Lego. You would be correct.
This one's really special to me. 20 years ago my friend Andrew had a little club night, and the late great Scott Harder did the art work for the posters / cards. Made a patch of one element on the first one he did. Love how this turned out.
The logo for Carolyn, the apprentice at our shop.
Maze Skull.
