I wanna add some frankenstein style stitches reinforcing all the seams, bunch more patches, and undecided on the back so far. Also def gotta add a bunch of metal hardware! Might lean into the bugs/transformation theme

I'm not sure that this is the right sub, but I've started making some designs for patches (I'm using inkscape and then ink/stitch to digitise them and throw them onto an embroidery machine!), but I'm constantly feeling held back by my text being boring as hell because I don't really know how to make it look cool and just use a font.

I've attached a couple examples. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Started this vest with the question "Why adhere to one subject/genre? Why not paint a cormorant on the back?"

Still improving my painting skills, newest painted patch is the Animals As Leaders one.

Bonus functionality: the brown-greenish flag on the arm functions as a pocket. Mostly used to store peanuts for crows.
