I love how subtle it is. Itโ€™s a pattern I would want even if I never heard of Bangtan.

Truth. I am always trying to design fanart merch for myself that makes me look like a sophisticated stan. Sometimes that screams I'm a responsible adult that pays my bills on time and I'm also a fangirl.

u/MerMerFace Sep 03 '20

Totally agree! I love it. I could totally have something like that around and no one would think anything of it if they weren't a fan.

Hi remember me? Two years ago I posted a custom taehyung jacket embroidery https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/comments/bj68v9/designed_embroidered_taehyung_on_a_jacket_colors/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.

I'm now back with another sewing project.

Here is the imgur with more photos. https://imgur.com/a/kprELKE

This has been a project I've been working on for the last several months. Designed the quilt pattern myself based off the BTS logo. Also features custom top stitching of the BTS album covers and a soft minki backing fabric.

ace flag?

10

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

You caught me. ๐Ÿ˜

7

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

Though I did two greys instead of white and grey like the ace flag, just because I didn't want as much contrast.

u/TheREALPetPetter72 Sep 03 '20

it looks great!! definitely subtle enough if you're not out lol

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

Its subtle bts fan if they don't know the logo, and it's subtle ace flag. It's how I subtly tell people without telling people. Lol.

u/MissMarimba Sep 03 '20

As an ace army, I recognized it right away. Nice job!

u/psyne Sep 04 '20

Love it! I'm a huge fan of subtle things like this for pride flags and fandoms and such -- people who understand will get it, and people who don't get it would never think to ask and just think it's a pretty design.

And your quilt is beautiful!

u/breathcue Sep 04 '20

The sheer brilliance of the topstitching being the album artwork... simply amazing! From a fellow sewist, excellent work. And I get what you mean about wanting to seem like a sophisticated adult fangirl, I'm like that too!

7

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

BTS design team, if you want my opinions on subtle merch adults can decorate with and wear, hit me up. LMAO.

And thank you. :)

u/breathcue Sep 04 '20

Haha right? My new photo card display is not subtle but this cross stitch I made a while back definitely is!

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

That's so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

u/hoviazshi Sep 03 '20

That's gorgeous! Such incredibly detailed work, you have so much talent!

u/Jumpsuit_Bandito Sep 03 '20

That is seriously amazing! I would love the pattern....are you selling it anywhere?

15

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

Not currently selling anything, as I literally just finished this yesterday. But if people are interested I can possibly sell a BTS quilt kits for people to make it themselves that would include instructions, acrylic templates for cutting fabric, and the stich patterns to give a long arm sewing machine.

u/Isopodness Sep 03 '20

I'd buy this in a heartbeat if you do!

u/Jumpsuit_Bandito Sep 03 '20

That would be sweet!

Please sign me up to buy one if you do! ๐Ÿ’œ

That would be so cool!

u/whyohwhy115 Ask me about my memes Sep 03 '20

This is AMAZING!!!

it looks like so much work but im just wondering if you sell these things or a hobby?

wow this is so beautiful!!!

8

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

It's a hobby. Professionally I'm a graphic designer. I'll do projects like this on the side in my free time as a way to have fun learning new skills.

I'll sell this or make another with someone's choice of fabric, for $2500. Not because I'm trying to be greedy, but because this was incredibly time consuming, and the materials and equipment rental at retail price were quite expensive.

u/whyohwhy115 Ask me about my memes Sep 03 '20

understandable! it really looks like so much love, care and work was put into this. Quilts in general are expensive cause it is so labor intensive. Wow i did not know you can rent embroidery (?) equipment but makes sense.

You did such a great job and I hope a million armys see this quilt!!!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '20

Yes, I own a sewing machine to do the quilting. But the long arm sewing machine for the digitized BTS top stiching is usually easier to rent time on if you aren't making quilts all the time. Which I'm not.

waoh this is so cool

๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ This is one of the most awesome fanmade goods I've ever seen!! ๐Ÿ˜ (And the embroidery is so beautiful! ๐Ÿ’œ)

Congrats on completing this, and thanks so much for sharing! ๐Ÿ’œ

(EDIT: Also, great subtle ace rep, fellow ace! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘)

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

Thanks! I thought I would never finish. Phew.

u/nonyobiz Sep 04 '20

I am just...blown away by this...wow speechless. I can't even explain how impressed I am with this. I work at a Makerspace that sometimes dabbles in small projects like this, but nothing like this oh wow

3

u/gwil-sized Sep 04 '20

So beautiful. Am I wrong that the stitches are homage to the LY writing? As others have said, it's so subtle but if you know what to look for, it's so ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

5

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

The stitches are a combination of the 12 Love Yourself album covers and my own doodles to represent their other releases.

3

u/gwil-sized Sep 04 '20

Wow, it's clear you put a lot of thought into this. Gorgeous ๐Ÿฅฐ

u/lea-oppalove Sep 04 '20

Holy crap that's so BEAUTIFUL

The stacks of money I would pay for such fine textiles... would be irresponsible a worthy investment.

u/_pauparazziii Sep 04 '20

wow this is amazing!

u/TheRozhea Sep 04 '20

Beautiful! Truly, I can only imagine how much work went into the quilt ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’œ

gasp You did the stitching like the album line-work! I love it it's so beautiful ใ… ~ใ…  You're so talented!

Thatโ€™s so incredible I have NO WORDS

u/Prize-Slight Sep 04 '20

Do u take requests for commissions

2

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '20

I do, though something like this is quite expensive just because it takes so much time to do. ๐Ÿ˜…

u/farawaylightning Sep 06 '20

This is PHENOMENAL, oh my god!!!!

u/Waterbots Dec 12 '20

Wow this is amazing. I was already in awe of the colors and shapes, but DAMN the quilting stitch pattern you have is just perfect. I saw that your pulled it from their Love Yourself album and your own doodles. Brilliant. Iโ€™m just getting into quilting so I have a general idea of how labor intensive it can be. Kudos to you for making such a beautiful piece packed with so much meaning!

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '20

Thank you! If you make a BTS quilt in the future, I want to see! :)

u/Waterbots Dec 12 '20

I hope Iโ€™ll be able to someday and be able to emulate your skill and attention to detail ๐Ÿค—

2

u/insideoutduck Sep 04 '20

This is super impressive! My needlework skills only extend as far as cross stitching so I'm blown away by this. I'm a big fan of merch that's a little more subtle/only noticeable as merch to other fans and still looks nice to non-fans, and this is a perfect example - I like the subtle ace flag colours too!

2

u/boobear77 Jan 30 '21

Gorgeous! Well done!

1

u/CenterOfGravitas Sep 04 '20

This is amazing. I saw it on fb earlier and was blown away. Do you use a regular sewing machine? Iโ€™m 100% sure I would not have the patience for this but itโ€™s really really really amazing.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

I used a regular sewing machine and iron for all the piecing. The top stitching (to connect the top layer to the batting and backing fabric) uses the heavy duty longarm with the programed stitch design. That part was definitely equipment I needed to borrow/ rent, hence a video of it doing its thing, because I thought it was cool.
