Any suggestions of places that make sew-on patches?
« on: July 15, 2012, 11:08:59 pm »
This is strange, but I'm looking for a place that makes video game patches or custom patches to sew on to backpacks. I have been carrying around my Timbuk2 more frequently in preparation for my Sager laptop to arrive (yay!) and I'm looking (and haven't found) a place that makes patches related to VGs. I'm specifically looking for a Dreamcast (red) swirl, but I'd be interested in in some 8-bit or 16-bit characters like Simon Belmont (from SCV4,) Bill/Lance from Contra, or pretty much any character from Street Fighter II.

Seeing how my laptop will be plastered with Minecraft decals, I doubt there'd be room for anything there, though I may get a DC Swirl logo or some Street Fighter decals for it.

Your only choice might be to go to one of those places that does custom embroideries and ask for a cost quote.

There are some people on Etsy and eBay that sell these, but they're usually pre-made designs...

Gaming patches arent terribly common. I wear a vest when I ride the Harley and I wanted some patches for it. I did find a nice Zelda shield. But for the most part, you are going to spend a lot of money to have one custom made.

Crafty fairs/bazaars like Bizarre Bazaar or the Maker Faire will usually have craft/gamer folks who do things like patches.  Etsy's pretty handy for that sort of stuff, too, and some sellers may offer custom orders (probably colored thread choices perhaps).
