Response from Chris
you can go to department stores or craft shops and seam ripper, it is a year-end, very difficult to thread a small straight blade cutting tool. This could work. But mark the outline may still exist, the fabric has been washed several times.

Letterman Jacket, Worth it?

Question by : Letterman Jacket, Worth it?
So, I finally got my letter today from academics and athletics. I’m a Sophmore in High School and went I got home I asked my mom to take me to a store that tailors. We added up the price for the patches and embroidery and the price totaled up to $ 330.30. When I asked my parents if I could get it for Christmas with my own earned money, they got really mad and said that my school just gave me the letter so I would be pressured into wasting money. What should I do…?
Plus, should is it wise to purchase an expensive article of clothing (that represents achievement and memories) but will only be able to wear it for the next 2 years before hanging it up?
I want them to sew my Block letter onto the jacket.

Hey craft-y people, I could use some ideas for personalizing my luggage!?

Question by roller koester: Hey craft-y people, I could use some ideas for personalizing my luggage!?
I’m going on a short trip in a couple of weeks and I want to personalize my luggage. I have some bright blue suitcases that are reasonably identifiable as they are, but I would like to add a more personal touch. I’ve thought of things like patches or embroidery, but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten. I’m not a terribly craft-y person, so any details on how to do these things or any different ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tie some Blaze Orange flagging tape to the handle. Available at most hunting depts in Wal Mart etc.
Also the same thing only in a roll of sticky tape like scotch tape to put on bicycles available in the bicycle dept. Just cut to length and stick where the sun shines on your suitcase.

Looking for Warrior Patchs? Warriors the movie?

Question by cuvelx: Looking for Warrior Patchs? Warriors the movie?
I am searching for a the Warrior Patches that the gang wore on their vests on the back of their vests. I am having a hard time finding an embroidery company that will make me 10. Most want a QTY of 100. There are no local shops around who do embroidery work.

Can anyone help me??

Best answer:

Answer by Kevin R
What’s local to you? Go online, some one will do it, but it will take time, and have to be shipped. I’m wondering, the price of 100 isn’t much more than the price of ten though, and wouldn’t take much more time. The unit cost per would be much lower. Pattern programming, and production curves cost money.

What do you think? Answer below!

Q&A: where can i buy a jacket like this? (popular with yankees in japan)?

Question by : where can i buy a jacket like this? (popular with yankees in japan)?
i’m after a purple and white one like the girl is wearing in these photos.
i’ve tried to find the actual jacket but can’t seem to find it (front and back has ‘wild tiger’ embroided on it, i can’t seem to find this brand). i don’t mind if it’s a plain one without embroidery because i can sew patches on myself.

they are made of a satin-like material. they go by many names, track jackets, souvenier jackets, and sukajan. they are seen in many japanese shows and films about yankees. i don’t live in japan so it’s hard to find where they might be sold online.
