KSP Embroidery!

[ben_kapitan]

So tonight I decided to transcribe my esteem of KSP into a patch. I decided to go with the KSP logo to begin with, but will be making some designs that commemorate Jeb and his various misfortunes. If you have any ideas for patches, post them here and I'll see what I can do!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the logo translated from an image online. This took a good hour to get juuuuusssst right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sew that bad boy!! I used sailcloth has I have tons lying around, and as this is a trial-run of a new design, It needs not look professional.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All done! Next time I'll use decent cloth that wont frey around the edges and up the thread density for added detail.

If squad were to add to the line of stuff they sell, this needs to be in there! Looksmlike something each pilot wouldmhave on their suit

[Naten]

I agree with IWantSumCrusha! We need to get SQUAD to see this, maybe you can have them mass-produce them! Or a T-shirt, or something!

[PIRATEONTHERUN]

I have to break radio silence and say this is awesome because I want to encourage you and make sure you make more! Amazing job!

[ben_kapitan]

Thanks for the feedback. If you have any ideas for patches, let me know! I enjoy doing this and it's good practice.

Wow, that's really fantastic, if something like that was in the store I'd love to buy one! And since you want suggestions, the logo from the "Retro" flag would make a great patch, I think.

Anyways, keep up the good work, you've got quite the talent!

[Kerbal01]

Wow, that's amazing. Do you have to do that manually, or is there some kind of robot machine that works off the computer design. Either way, I'm very impressed. I made some kerbal patches once, and all I did was iron-on transfers onto white canvas. You are the real deal.

Thanks. You have to make the design in embroidery software yourself. It's like making something in Photoshop, except you export your design to an embroidery machine. My wife owns one which is how I have access to one. The embroidery machine then sews your design out on fabric according to how you made it. Its all automatic except for changing the thread colors, which I have to do by hand. That first patch I made took about 15 min. for the machine to sew.

I'm necro bumping this thread because it was just so damn awesome.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

I want the first one

[ben_kapitan]

I had totally forgotten about this thread! I'd offer to make custom patches for you guys but I'm almost positive there is some type of rule baring people from soliciting on the forums..

I understand it's been a while, but could you make this into a patch? It's ok if you don't want to.

[ben_kapitan]

Thomas988, I'll try when I get home from work!

Sorry to bump an old thread but were these ever available anywhere? Got a motorcycle jacket screaming out for one.
