damn imagine being helena eagan like you have no friends and not even your father likes you. the version of you that you think is so beneath you you dont even consider her a real person manages to build more connections with people (both platonically and romantically) in a few weeks than you did in your thirty years of life. and to make matters worse the only time you feel the warmth of human connection is when youre pretending to be that lesser version of you except you suck so bad at being nice they clock your ass and try to drown you

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

making patches — a zine

Front cover of a handmade eight-page seen that says “making patches” as the title. There is a red and grey patchwork design on the cover and on one of the red patches it says: “why make them? how do you make them? where do you put them?”
page 2
why make patches?:
Fixing holes and rips 
Decorating and personalising 
Political statements, e.g. Black lives matter 
Recycling scrap fabric 

page 3
Supplies: Fabric, scissors, thread or dental floss, Needle 
These are the essentials.

The other stuff can be used if you have them, but you don’t need to go out and buy them: 
Paint and paint brushes, (acrylic/fabric )
Stencils 
Sewing machine 
Embroidery floss 
Fabric transfer paper 
Beads 
Other stuff to put on patches
Page 4
Fabric:
Medium or lightweight fabrics are best as they are easy to sew on.

Don’t use a busy patterned fabric. If you are putting a design on top. If you don’t want the pattern fabric, you can paint over it.

Use a contrasting colour fabric to your design so that it stands out for example, white on black.

You can get scrap fabric from old cotton clothes and socks, scarfs, pillowcases, sewing, scraps, et cetera.

Decorating (painting):

You can use acrylic, fabric paint for designs.

It’s pretty simple, you can use a paintbrush to paint on a design or use a stencil and sponge.

If you’re using acrylic paint you 
have to heat seal it, you can just use a hairdryer for this.

Decorating (embroidery)

If you have embroidery floss, then you can pretty easily embroider a design onto your patch using a running stitch or other stitches.

I recommend doing this BEFORE  cutting out your patch, especially if you’re using an embroidery hoop


Page 7
Sewing
Here are two common ways to sew on your patches by hand 

Running stitch : it’s an up-down-up-down, sort of motion

Whipstitch : it’s a sort of up-and-around motion

You can also use a sewing machine
page 8
where to put patches? 
You can put them wherever, but here are some ideas:

there are 4 drawings of different items to put patches onto, on drawings of patches:
A drawing of a red and black plaid flannel 
A drawing of a grey backpack 
A drawing of a pair of black trousers 
A drawing of a red cap

1st proper hand drawn zine! i think it came out quite well.

also apologies for the shitty photo quality, my camera is to blame :(

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.
