#patch ideas

Hopefully will be able to take better photos soon but added a few more patches and bits!

So a group of trans people, including me and several of my friends, have been pestering our local government about trans rights. It's going pretty well, but we've gotten pushback from one particular elected official who has been spewing christian nationalist bullshit. We got a bunch of pastors and our rabbi to stand up against that. But anyway, this guy doesn't like us. And he recently called us "God skewed and gender confused" in a facebook post. So I just want to mention that because I think it would be a great patch idea. I'm already working on making a bunch of patches that say that.

So consider this an open invitation to all the punks, queers, faygeles, and outcasts: let's reclaim gd skewed and gender confused!

It was a little banged up but I thought this would make a cool patch. Either a patch or a belt pouch I haven't decided yet. I think this is supposed to go in a binder or something? It's a little thicker than a regular fabric patch so it's going on a heavy baggy pair of pants. Or it could go on a jacket or the inside of a jacket like an inside pocket. That'd be sick honestly

I removed the rubber logo in the middle, i fixed the hole in the mesh pocket and covered the marker doodles with a black patch, and i drew some sharpie spirals around the patch just to fill up the space. I still have to paint/embroider something on the patch but I'll think of something later. I also might replace the zipper pulls with more interesting ones since the ones on the bag have logos on them

[Image ID: three images showing a rectangular dark sage green pencil bag, with black borders and a black mesh pocket on the top half. There are three eyelet holes on the side so the bag can be put in a binder and the zippers are black. The pocket on the bottom half is the same green as the rest of the bag but it had marker scribbles on it so I pinned a black rectangular felt patch right in the middle of the bottom pocket to cover them up. Next to the elastic loop at the top is a long black rectangle I drew over the last name of the person who owned this bag before me.

The second image is the same as the first but edited with white circles and white text over it. There are three circles: one around the black sharpie rectangle at the top, and next to it in white text "someones name I drew over with a sharpie." Another circle around the hole on the left side of the mesh pocket, the text next to hay reads "hole in the side of the mesh pocket." and one more circle around the rubber logo sewn into the middle of the bag and text thats reads "rubber branding sewn in." Theres white text placed over the black patch that says "felt patch to cover up old scribbles."
