I’m 14 and have recently been getting into the punk/metal scene. You have some super rad clothes! just sewed my first patch. Thank you for putting this sick tutorial out!🤟🤟
Good luck dude! Im 15 now and I started my first patch jacket when I was 14 - it looks rad now and It only took me a year and a half! Im moving onto jeans now. Good luck, DIY or die!
Started mine today, I find it rather chill to just sit on the couch in my undies while sewing on patches and having a youtube video running in the background
@@nadatopalovic7685 it's a never ending process,you might have to repatch the crouch or other parts of the pants (saying from my experience since i have 2 kinda,one of them has just a few patches,but the crouch was fucked so I have to patch from time to time)
Yeah man, i was homeless starting at 15. Back then i used to have to patch the shit out of my pants, clothes in general really, and id make pants out of flannel shirts n stuff, i had no idea what crust pants were lol. i remember being so bummed when id have to throw away pants with so many memories, they would just get so torn apart and filthy and i didnt have a place to keep shit back then. glad times have changed though, and im sure glad i dont have to steal elmers glue to put my hair up lol. love this channel yo, keep it up. Also the fact that you can just buy studs online and i dont have to steal belts from ross to stud my shit is just amazing. . .the world can be beautiful i guess :)
Yoo, that's actually cool that you do it this way bc my mom taught me how she made her crusties and it is almost exactly the same way (shes a goth punk so i was kinda born into it 😂). Instead of folding the ends of the patches tho, she'd trim the edge so itd be clean and lightly lather the back of the patch with a liquid adhesive for cloth so it wouldnt fray. She also used actual thread rather than floss, but same idea basically. When i made mine, i accidentally sewed the patch and pants to my underwear bc i had no idea what i was doing until i asked her during a visit 😂
as a 34 yr old and an emo/punk/goth i absolutely l LOVE that you ARE NOT gatekeeping these tips and tricks and ideas of "how to" or "diy" you are a living god! thank you for this!!!!!!!!!
One thing i discovered when i started using dental floss is that you don't need tie a knot at all. If you got a lighter with a concentrated flame (the sharp blue flames), you can melt the tips of the dental floss into a ball. Much faster than making a knot and so far it's been pretty strong aswell.
Why is this so comforting💀 me n my dad keep on getting into shouting matches, and I feel like I'm being talked to by a father figure that's actyally teaching me sum I want to learn
I've been working on a vest. Realized last night that I had a bunch of old cross stitching frames. Made it sooo much easier to stitch the patches on w/o the fabric folding/twisting underneath
as a skater whos constantly wasting money on new pants i started learning to sew and saw this and i absolutely love the look so now i can make my destroyed pants look better
@@mooomalooomabaloooma It is a great method to prolong the life of your pants. My skater friend has been mending his pants since we were in highschool in the mid 00s and still sews up his skate pants to this day 🦖
i diyed an embroidery hood with a nut jar and exactoknife, it was screw top with isn't the best but it's ok. the best thing to use to diy it is something that pops together though
Tip if you dont want to hemm the patch for whatever reasons, get some clear nail polish and go over the edges. It will seal the fabric so you dont have to worry about your hemm being straight you can just cut the patch into the desired shape
@@Novak219 i think he’s referring to when you’re done sewing and you have that extra bit of thread or whatever you’re using left instead of just tying it into a knot you get a lighter and burn it into the actual fabric itself so it’s intertwined and tougher than a simple knot.
I've never made a pair of patch pants but I have made a patch hat before. It doesn't have any patches with designs on them its just denim scraps from old jeans that I i used to cover my hat. But I have always really liked the look of "messy" stitching (like doing x shaped, v shaped and slanted stitches all mixed together) and thats how I did my hat. I personally like to call it Franken-stitching. I know a lot of punks really like the straight stitch look but I think that as long as you make sure all of your stitches aren't too short and that your patches are on securely it shouldn't really matter.
Just to clarify, no hate is intended towards you or anyone else I'm just saying this for anyone who is worried they have to do completely straight perfect stitches and make it look perfect
So I watched this video in January (it’s now October) and so far I made three pairs of jeans now I’m currently on my fourth because of this video. I highly recommend it to someone who wants to make patch pants. And yes they’re mst inspired 🤣
I’ve had patches for a while but I never really get around to actually starting or finishing a project due to my depression. Usually my mom helped me put them on but lately I’ve had the urge to learn myself. Thanks for the dope tutorial man! Definitely gotta try that dental floss method soon.
Before your fingertips start bleeding.. Use pliers to sew. That way you can use a bigger needle and thread the floss easier. A curved upholstery needle would work great.
Little tip if you make your patches yourself ( I paint them and sometimes just cut out a shape and see it on a background) have a signature not for fear of them getting taken but as a start I find I sometimes just don’t know what to make often at the start of me making project so I just sew up my signature a red heart on a black background sewed on messly then I just suttonly get a ton of inspo (and it’s iconic)
Dude I love your tutorials. I'm not new to doing D.I.Y. stuff but I always learn some neat little trick that makes stuff easier from your vids like putting something in the pockets to make it easier to sew stuff on top. Kudos to you and I'm drinking an extra shot to your health :D
It's crazy how many things you do exactly the same way I do when I thought I came up with a lot of them. The one thing I do different which has made my life a lot easier is I take a thin line of glue and go around the outer rim of the patch on the back side of it and then just glue them down with cheap fabric glue because I like the frayed parts sticking out but if you put the glue on there you can get them perfectly straight and when you pull the thread around the edge it will go right over the glue holding the whole thing in place so nothing pulls out and you still get those frayed edges and it's just so much easier in general. Now I only have to put stuff in my pockets and whatnot when I'm sewing because if it's glued down I can just hold it with my hand and sew it up real quick. I wish I would have figured when I was a lot younger but definitely try it out. It's the biggest time saver ever. I try to only patch my pants when there's actual holes that have formed in them but they always form around the crotch so I end up having this patch diaper going at first and I have to start evening it out no matter what or it looks ridiculous. Anyone else have that problem😂? I also like using a lot of different fabrics because I think it just looks better. Makes them more interesting I guess. Getting older now I'm too damn lazy to even sell my crotch up. I'll just leave it till it gets too ridiculous and go steal some more skinny jeans from some store and try to get them dirty and wear them in as quick as possible because I hate new pants and shirts! 🤬
dude thanks so much for showing an in-depth zoom in of your pairs! I'm currently working on my first ever pair of patch pants and let me tell you, there's some GRUESOME stitching being done out there by people who just want to `wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am`-that shit. Making all of my own patches took like 25+ hours, currently on like hour 50+ of sowing them on etcetc. It's hard work and you can't speed it up or rush it, like you said. (also why do people want to do it fast? The joy of working hours on end on a pair that'll take you through anything is like the best part of this lol) Anyway, really loved the vid, thanks man :)
Yup me too, it took me about 7 months worth of freetime to make enough patches just to fill the front of my pants. And each patch takes like 30 minutes to sew, it isnt a quick process loool
Pro tip if you don’t care about stabbing yourself in the hand. You can just put your hand/arm in between the two layers of fabric you don’t want to sew together.
15:27 I do the same thing! I figured that out as a kid it helps with making knots big enough to not fall through the needle hole and keeps the stitches a bit stronger
Yo bro basically everyone ik does the same but also in future try making your first stitch loop between the threads so it just makes a loop around the fabric and cant come through without snapping, hope this helped:)
Thank you so much, this is the second time im try to do a pair of pants i go little by little and its hard im only speak spanish but literally this give my life back
I have 2 pears of crust pants and to tell ya the idea of folding the patches is genius I cant believe I didnt think of that by the way your pants are sick 🤘🤘
glad i watched this before jumping in, I figured I didn't need any help and I could just wing it but you had some killer tips and tricks here. thanks my dude
I am not using your bottle trick but folding patch edges have been helpful. And i have linked your video to people because visual presentation explain it better than my words in internet can.
16:08 I do that with thread all the time lol. If licking it doesn’t get it good enough to go through the needle, just cut off the split ends and try to thread again.
i'm brazilian and i didn't find any brazilian video with this information you gave, i'm starting to patch my pants for the first time and u helped me too much, thanks man 🇧🇷🖤 +1 subscribed
4:36 I use fishing line! Unfortunately it stretches in the dryer but I paid like $3 in the fishing section at Walmart for 700 yards of 4lb “high strength” fishing line
About the bottle trick, avoiding bunching up the cloth of the pants underneath the patch.... YES. Wish I had known this before! The first pants I did were 30x more work than was necessary, and uncomfortably tight and stiff af
this is very helpful! i always worry that people in the scene are too judgy (which they are) for me to make crust pants without having holes in the pants and stuff but you made me remember that part of the life style is not giving a fuck so i’m just gonna start lol
4:28 it’s funny I’m watching this while sewing patches onto an army jacket I was gifted from a yard sale Most my patches I’ve made/am making myself lol but I’m also like Very specific lol
Wicked video dude, I've been wanting to start getting my crusties on the go for a while but didn't really know where to start, this has been a huge help also loving how awesome your crusties look, I'd be happy with mine looking half as good as yours.
Also if you get the thickest polyester thread that Joanne's or Michaels or whatever craft store that carries free sewing products, you can burn the ends also since polyester is basically plastic. I just prefer the black thread and as far as I know the health goth trend hasn't spawned black floss yet. Just a heads up for people that don't know. They also have stretchy thread that works good in areas like your crotch because that shit is just going to keep ripping no matter what unfortunately but the stuff doesn't seem to stand the test of time unfortunately. It does work good in some cases though. Especially good for a quick fix if you want to just line whatever tour with a little bit of glue with a thin line on the inside of the tear and then sew it up with stretchy thread that will buy you a lot of time before you actually have to sit down and patch that shit up. Just another tip. One bad thing is the glue looks pretty disgusting after a while like you came perfectly all along the inside of the tears of your pants somehow but if you ask me that's just going to impress your partner more than anything or at least it should. Like yeah my pants tour so I just jizzed along the inside to stick them together so my junk wasn't hanging out all day. There's another free life hack for you. At least its on the inside🤷
have you heard of sashiko? it’s more grandma than punk, but it looks awesome. it’s also super durable on stress points, especially if you layer on some more thick material.
I'm making my own patches with other pants, fabric paints and too much time :]]] I'm gonna be slappin em on with embroidery thread. I also have a hoop B] I'm gonna be watching a hecc tone of videos like this so I can get inspiration and information Wish me luck hehe
Still wearing the pants from 2007 from the beginning of the video. The pair I put a patch on in this video was just for a demonstration and I gave them away. Eventually I am going to do a video on repairing torn crotches. Thanks for watching 🦖
24:02 I will say I’ve tried that with fishing line and it doesn’t work so good. Tbf I didn’t set it on fire I just held it near a flame to try to melt the knots together lol
Wow! Them jeans are cov-ERD! Looks dope!😎 I've been sewing patches for like 20 years now but yer def showing me tactics I never woulda thought of. Nice work!🤘
I’m on the heavier side and sometimes finding clothes at the thrift store is hard for me, it wouldn’t be a big deal if I resorted to buying from a bigger retail store right? It’s just so hard to find clothes at my size, especially with people buying up bigger sizes for no good reason.
Good to know. People where saying they use embroidery thread for mst reproduction patch pants. Personally I do not make those kind of pants, nor did I set out to make a tutorial about how to make them but I am sure some viewers will find this information helpful!
Exactly fuck the elitism especially in “punk” fashion, like you said, you’ll have pants or vests that are made out of necessity so it that sense you’ll have no choice of what to use or how it looks. It basically all comes down to what you can find to use and the skill u have to put it together. Also, if you’re doin it fun than it’s an artistic freedom of expression that nobody can judge for obvious reasons…. Anyways, i can go all day on “elitists” cuz they SUUUUUCK!!
What a great tutorial. I would be interested to know what you did to resize your pants. My last job I ended up gaining 40 lbs and would love to bring my ol' 08 crust pants back from the grave.
So I took my crust pants and cut out an "inner seam" along the inside legs, all the way through the crotch. I then hand sewed them over and onto a donor pair of pants. I then went back and patched over the empty spaces with new patches to hid the blank space on the inside of the legs. Optionally you could cut the seam on the outside of the pants if you want to. It is a bit of work but definitely worth the effort. Feel free to dm me on Instagram with any questions @reptil_kodiya
@@nathanbender3811 I did not use the front pockets or the waist line of the original crust pants, I cut just below it. Then I sewed it onto the donor pants and relied on using those pockets and waist line.
the way i'm just sitting here in my fairy core themed room surrounded by plants, crocheting a heart shaped granny square bag and wearing a Mitski t shirt with hearts on it, but i'm also taking notes on punk culture so i can wear my patch pants to a protest i'm going to next week, & it just. it feels very conflicting lmao. but tbh I think punk is primarily about the politics and the aesthetic is secondary to that, plus ppl are allowed to enjoy multiple aesthetics at a time so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
4:45 is there a reason for safety pins in particular to pin down patches? Cuz I just use straight pins like you do in most sewing but I also between gifts and buying things over the years have gotten quite a bit of sewing supplies. On safety pins though, I used to be in theatre and I also used to work as a server in a cosplay restaurant and I will tell you safety pins and Bobby pins are ALWAYS good to have on hand whenever
These videos have a weirdly fatherly vibe in the best way possible
I’m 14 and have recently been getting into the punk/metal scene. You have some super rad clothes! just sewed my first patch. Thank you for putting this sick tutorial out!🤟🤟

i use dental floss too, easier to sew with and doesn´t rip as easily
I used safety pins I think it looks super cool
I use safety pins
I use both dental floss and thread (i have black so it depends on what color I want to use for the patches)
I use hemp thread, and a thick leather repair needle
Will fishing line work well

curved needles are really good if youre worried about accidentally stitching the pants together
Yup i started using curved needles a few months ago and so far ive been stabbed far less
One thing i discovered when i started using dental floss is that you don't need tie a knot at all. If you got a lighter with a concentrated flame (the sharp blue flames), you can melt the tips of the dental floss into a ball. Much faster than making a knot and so far it's been pretty strong aswell.
*uses lighter to melt ends of floss*
*also uses highly flammable object to put out fire* this is fine

Also if you get the thickest polyester thread that Joanne's or Michaels or whatever craft store that carries free sewing products, you can burn the ends also since polyester is basically plastic. I just prefer the black thread and as far as I know the health goth trend hasn't spawned black floss yet. Just a heads up for people that don't know. They also have stretchy thread that works good in areas like your crotch because that shit is just going to keep ripping no matter what unfortunately but the stuff doesn't seem to stand the test of time unfortunately. It does work good in some cases though. Especially good for a quick fix if you want to just line whatever tour with a little bit of glue with a thin line on the inside of the tear and then sew it up with stretchy thread that will buy you a lot of time before you actually have to sit down and patch that shit up. Just another tip. One bad thing is the glue looks pretty disgusting after a while like you came perfectly all along the inside of the tears of your pants somehow but if you ask me that's just going to impress your partner more than anything or at least it should. Like yeah my pants tour so I just jizzed along the inside to stick them together so my junk wasn't hanging out all day. There's another free life hack for you. At least its on the inside🤷
that’s smart putting a cd case in the pocket. i just flip the pocket up and pin it
have you heard of sashiko? it’s more grandma than punk, but it looks awesome. it’s also super durable on stress points, especially if you layer on some more thick material.
I had to look this up, I love the ingenuity!! Thank you for sharing 🦖
even though im dont listen to punk music, i do enjoy making patch pants with my other intrests, thanks for the tips
I'm making my own patches with other pants, fabric paints and too much time :]]]
I'm gonna be slappin em on with embroidery thread. I also have a hoop B]
I'm gonna be watching a hecc tone of videos like this so I can get inspiration and information
Wish me luck hehe
Awesome! Best of luck!
@@reptil_diy Oo- Wasn't expecting a reply from abyone really. Hope all is well and have an epic day, m'dude :D
Man I just jumped into the Punk scene.
This helps a lot! I have a lot of ripped jeans lol
An update on this would be amazing!!
Still wearing the pants from 2007 from the beginning of the video. The pair I put a patch on in this video was just for a demonstration and I gave them away.
Eventually I am going to do a video on repairing torn crotches. Thanks for watching
🦖
24:02 I will say I’ve tried that with fishing line and it doesn’t work so good. Tbf I didn’t set it on fire I just held it near a flame to try to melt the knots together lol
When I make mine, If I am doing it on the road, I just use cd's instead of bottles and it works great!
City morgue made an appearance!!!!
Wow! Them jeans are cov-ERD! Looks dope!😎 I've been sewing patches for like 20 years now but yer def showing me tactics I never woulda thought of. Nice work!🤘
I'm stoked to help🦖
I love city morgueeeee
Nice! One of my friends still make these today. I use to do this too. But again I stopped.
I’m on the heavier side and sometimes finding clothes at the thrift store is hard for me, it wouldn’t be a big deal if I resorted to buying from a bigger retail store right? It’s just so hard to find clothes at my size, especially with people buying up bigger sizes for no good reason.
Absolutely not!! Buy whatever works!
i use yellow and purple embroidery thread, it frays super easily but if you get it threaded and use one long thread it looks cool
Good to know. People where saying they use embroidery thread for mst reproduction patch pants. Personally I do not make those kind of pants, nor did I set out to make a tutorial about how to make them but I am sure some viewers will find this information helpful!
Exactly fuck the elitism especially in “punk” fashion, like you said, you’ll have pants or vests that are made out of necessity so it that sense you’ll have no choice of what to use or how it looks. It basically all comes down to what you can find to use and the skill u have to put it together. Also, if you’re doin it fun than it’s an artistic freedom of expression that nobody can judge for obvious reasons…. Anyways, i can go all day on “elitists” cuz they SUUUUUCK!!
What a great tutorial. I would be interested to know what you did to resize your pants. My last job I ended up gaining 40 lbs and would love to bring my ol' 08 crust pants back from the grave.
So I took my crust pants and cut out an "inner seam" along the inside legs, all the way through the crotch. I then hand sewed them over and onto a donor pair of pants. I then went back and patched over the empty spaces with new patches to hid the blank space on the inside of the legs.
Optionally you could cut the seam on the outside of the pants if you want to.
It is a bit of work but definitely worth the effort.
Feel free to dm me on Instagram with any questions @reptil_kodiya
Thanks, I think I get it, but how did you handle the front pockets? Really appreciate the tips!
@@nathanbender3811 I did not use the front pockets or the waist line of the original crust pants, I cut just below it. Then I sewed it onto the donor pants and relied on using those pockets and waist line.
@@reptil_diy awesome, Im pretty sure I get it. Now to get a whole bunch of floss!
im did my first patch today and i'm sewing it on my first patch pants soon :)
Much love my friend. Keep that shit going .
i sew them on while wearing them, and I use 3 pieces of thread folded in half
Holy shit how many times have you poked yourself
@@sillygummyy4769 I poke my fingers more often than my thighs believe it or not
@@crackpiperson oh tht actually makes sense anyway, I'd just say the poking is apart of the look
Dude bike tubes…. Mind blown again. Thanks so much for this vid bro. MST have great style but nothing compared to this..
I'm inspired! Got a ton of latex scraps!
Latex and rubber work great and add a whole different texture. Make sure to use needle nose pliers and a small gauge needle
didnt know you could sew with floss thats really smart imma have to give it a try
14:14 are you ever worried about the floss coming apart or does it just depend on which floss you use?
Floss is really strong, especially when you singe the end of the knot after sewing. I've had patches fall apart before the floss does
Love that u threw city morgue in there 😂😂
Thanks man, very helpful
hell yeah your back
fucking w you put city morgue in the beginning of the video. their mst pants were what actually made me get my crust pants
the way i'm just sitting here in my fairy core themed room surrounded by plants, crocheting a heart shaped granny square bag and wearing a Mitski t shirt with hearts on it, but i'm also taking notes on punk culture so i can wear my patch pants to a protest i'm going to next week, & it just. it feels very conflicting lmao. but tbh I think punk is primarily about the politics and the aesthetic is secondary to that, plus ppl are allowed to enjoy multiple aesthetics at a time so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
100%
best advice from me is if you dont feel like using thread id stud the patch on
yikes
@@xcv1io2v huh 😨
4:45 is there a reason for safety pins in particular to pin down patches? Cuz I just use straight pins like you do in most sewing but I also between gifts and buying things over the years have gotten quite a bit of sewing supplies.
On safety pins though, I used to be in theatre and I also used to work as a server in a cosplay restaurant and I will tell you safety pins and Bobby pins are ALWAYS good to have on hand whenever
Any pin will work just fine
Cool and informative nice video man
You're back! Hell yeah
Damn I wish I knew the pocket hack I think I sewed my pocket together
Nice vid, good structure and nice tempo! :)
Shoutout CityMorgue!
thanks for this tutorial, gunna make my own mst inspired pants now, hopefully Chad don't try say sumn like "fake mst" 😂
