blame the rest on luck
Crafty/sewing question.

notmetaphoric:

Can I turn a t-shirt into a patch? Or is the material too weak for that? I plan on putting it on a winter jacket, so I’ll probably need a sewing machine, right?

Nah.  It’ll be fine, and you can totally sew it by hand.  Fabric glue helps though.  I’ve had a hoodie with a back patch made out of a t-shirt for YEARS, and the patch is still in great shape.
