Teen Gothic

I painted more patches than this, but i wanted to show what I've done so far on my little project here. All of the pins except the Siouxie one were made using my friend's badgemaker. All the patches were pretty much freehanded with some fabric paint and thin brushes.

My ability to center things properly while handsewing isn't amazing so some things are a little uneven, but I think that adds a certain charm 😉

for the past couple months swr has been on repeat and i can’t seem to find any bands like them so please help😭

I’ve been wanting to get into the goth scene for a while but due to controlling parents I wasn’t able to until I recently moved out. That being said how would y’all recommend someone from a smaller town find the local goth community?
