How to Frankenstitch Your Tee into a Patch Vest (Without Crying)
“One tee, one needle, and a whole lot of bad decisions.”
Got a beat-up Wyrmfuel shirt too cool to toss? Turn it into a battle vest worthy of basement gigs and riot grinds. We’ll show you how to slash, stitch, and maybe bleed your way into wearable chaos — no sewing degree (or sanity) required.


💀 The Backstory:
We’ve all got that one tee. The one that’s been through more gigs, spills, breakups, and sketchy ramps than your last deck.
You could hang it on your wall... or you could cut it up and turn it into something way cooler: a one-of-a-kind, scream-worthy, crust-punk-style patch vest.
This is chaos crafting at its finest. And yes — you will bleed.
⚙️ What You’ll Need (or Steal):
1 old Wyrmfuel tee (bonus points if it’s ripped or weirdly stained)
A denim vest or any jacket you’re ready to ruin
Scissors, needle + thread (or a stapler if you're feral)
Safety pins (functional and fashionable)
Lighter (optional, dangerous, highly encouraged)
Music that makes your neighbors call the cops
🧷 Step-by-Step:
1. Cut with Chaos
Slice around the graphics — crooked edges = character. Fray the fabric. Let it feel like a crime scene.
2. Layout the Mayhem
Place your patches on the vest like a mad quilt. There are no rules. Chest? Back? Pocket? Armpit? YES.
3. Stitch It Ugly
You’re not a machine. Use heavy thread or floss if you’re broke. Uneven stitches are punk. Neatness is for mall brands.
4. Burn It (Just a Little)
Lightly singe the edges if you’re bold. Adds that apocalypse flavor. Don’t inhale the smoke. Probably.
5. Accessorize Like a Maniac
Add pins, spikes, bottle caps, a cursed necklace, or your ex’s number stitched upside-down. Make it yours.
🤘 Why This Rules:
You just gave your tee a second life
Nobody else has this vest. Nobody.
It tells a story. (Even if that story is "I screamed into a sewing needle for 3 hours.")
It's wearable art. It's wearable chaos. It's WYRMFUEL.
