Finally got around to hand sewing a bunch of patches on my WiP battle jacket in time for PRGE. Going for a Mega Man/robot theme. The back patch is an e-tank.
A denim vest with several Mega Man themed patches sewed on. Closeup of the top right area of the jacket. From top to bottom: a Cybertronic Spree patch. A red heart that says "Daddy" flanked by pins of Dr. light and Dr. Wily. A blue name patch that says "Hype". A closeup or the top left of the jacket. There is a patch of a booby-girl version of Mega Man with a "Rock" name tag underneath. There are pins of a Yellow Devil, Met Hat, and Rush the dog.
