The first patchwork art pants that I made. For this one, I utilized scrap and new fabric; created clay buttons, purchased star appliques from Etsy seller MagicalMixeryStore. These did rip at one point, where I then did some visible mending. I also used a heat press to add the skeleton peace sign on the back. Most of these patches are hand sewn on with yarn or embroidery thread. Belt is made of recycled pop tabs and paracord.

These are my bug pants:) There are many patches from scrap and new fabric. Several are printed fabric with grubs, poems about bugs (not my own). Included are photos of caves that I did take. I embroidered yarn onto patches, and designed and cut out the butterfly stamp. There are also giant toy bugs, given to me from a wonderful friend.
