| Okay, I've got the vector image and I'll be going to my fabricator later today. Since my work does custom racing suits for racecar drivers, the cost should be relatively low but I'm going to have to check on quality since we normally sew onto existing fabric and not make stand alone pieces. Also, these probably won't have the heatsealing plastic on the back. I'm going to see what I can do, but in the meantime, I want to get a count of who would interested in buying these.They are $5 each. That does not include shipping costs. They'll come in a small envelope to save costs. If you're interested then let me know! Patches Group Buy List 01. kevinay 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10.  * Actual patch measures 4"x4" (10cm x 10cm) I'd like at least 10 people. Any patches I make in excess of that will probably be put on E-Bay. |

kevinay said: While I prefer not to due to the possibility of things getting lost, I can ship anywhere as long as the buyer covers the costs. I should have a batch ready next week. I'll be posting an image of the actual product up later today. (^_^)dyou can ship it worldwide, right? =3 |

| Okay guys, here is a scan of the actual thing. They're going to cost $5 each. It's not exactly like the original thing since I don't have a super-high quality machine like professional embroidery shops, but it's as close as I can get it. The picture doesn't do it justice IMO. The patches themselves are 4"x4" (10cm x 10cm) and sewn onto the blue fabric then hand cut to give it the final shape. Buyer may want to the trace the edges of the patch with a lighter to finalize the shape. Other than that, what you see is what you get. I'll be getting 14 in a first batch and, if demand grows, then I can make more. If you're interested in one, please PM me with the follow: 1) # of patches you want. 2) Ship-to Address I will require a day or two after you send this info to get an estimation for shipping costs. In which I will reply and you can decide if you still want them or not. Then just PayPal me the amount with a note telling me who the payment is from. Thanks for looking! |

StarfleetCpt said: 5 DOLLARS?! That's what he's saying. Considering how most places will make you order at least 50 of them for at least $4 a pop, it's not a bad deal. (^_^); |
| |
| Looks pretty freaking sweet! Yeah! 500 posts! XD |
| Is it just me, or is 10cm x 10cm pretty huge? I think 6cm x 6cm would've been better. Also, not to be picky, but a few shades lighter would've been nice. |

StarfleetCpt said: ...get outta here! :p 5 dollars isn't that expensive. It's a cool patch, you can't really find them anywhere else and considering time & materials, it's not bad. To top it off, it isn't coming from Chinese sweat shop and it's being done by a Strike Witches fan. So you know it will at least be done properly. |

| Damn, I want one. I and I used to have the perfect jacket for it. A green German style war jacket. But my damn ex-girlfriend has it. And I have her shitty leather jacket. Wait, she preferred not to call it boyfriend and girlfriend. Because it had signs of attachment, and she didn't want boyfriends at the moment. Errr...the last girl who was rubbing my...friends with benefits.. Damn. I need a new jacket. I wonder how hard it'll be to find another one of those.:x |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| ...yeah...you keep...talking about that jacket...and I'll slowly walk away..... :p |
| I've been trying to find a good picture of what it would look like over the internet. But so far no luck. Dammit, I'm gonna have to buy a new jacket before I buy that patch. It just wouldn't look right on any of the jackets I currently own. |
Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Okay, I'm seriously interested now xD Not only that it's cheap, it's awesome too =3 I'll probably PM you later on, RanKizama ^w^ |
|
| If anyone is certainly interested in purchasing the patches from Ran, say so in the thread, and I'll add your name into the original post. Don't miss this awesome chance. ;) |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |

|
| I'm thinking about it. It's not like I can't spare 5 bucks but...I'm thinking about it. I'd like to have a place to put it first:) |
| I've got the first 14 in now. If you want one, just PM me with the info I requested and I'll do the rest. I've got an anime convention (Anime Weekend Atlanta) this weeked and I'll be taking some there with me to sell. (^_^)d |

Piroko said: Of course! I'll be on the hunt for any SW merchandise too. I got my artbook this morning and hopefully my 1/8th sale Lucchini figurine will be getting here either today or tomorrow. I'll take pics when it gets here. Nice! Take any SW related pics while you're there! :3 (^_~)d |
| |
| To those of you that have PM'd me, it might be another week before I can send them out so hold onto your money. I spilled Kool-Aid on them last night so now all the white font and clouds are a nice shade of pink. New batch should be ready soon. |
| |
| cool now make the Lucchini striped pantsu badge XD |
 |
dancu said: cool now make the Lucchini striped pantsu badge XD lol, I'm thinking about it. |

Good news everyone! I just got in my first replacement batch of patches!  There are only 6 so far, but there are more on the way. I should be getting 8 more here before long. If you've sent me your info, then I'll try to get the shipping estimates tomorrow. If you're looking to get some, then PM me soon as supplies are VERY LIMIT. Oh yes, very limited indeed...the supplies. A'so long! |
| |
| I'm thinking about doing a second run of patches since the first ones sold so well. If you're interested, please post up so I know what kind of numbers I'm looking at. (^_^) |
| |
 MINE'S BIGGER! I WIN!! |
| |
| LOL. Yeah, I wish Funi's was bigger. |
| Well, it's been a while but I think I might get around to making a second batch if anyone is interested. Thoughts? |
| |
| I would be honored to get a patch from you =) Only found one shop with official Strike Witches Patches and they cost 150$! o.O Is it possible to make a 31st JFS Storm Witches Patch or only 501st? |
| Unfortunately I no longer have the connections that I used to as I've changed jobs. The only way I could make more is if I made like...200 of them and bought them in bulk. Which would be fine if I knew the demand was there. If not, it'll wind up being a HUGE expense on my end. :( |
| |
| Ahhh, that is sad to hear. Well okay, nothing you can do about, so dont worry^^ Does anybody know, where I can find Squadron Patches from the strike witches world? The shop should be able to ship to germany. Like I said, here I can only look at ebay and they want far too much money =/ |
| did some digging for you, Benni: Unfortunately, from what I found, there isn't another place. I looked around for a good while. I'd appreciate if some others could confirm for me as well, I'm looking to make a couple more too. I could direct you to the place that made mine (check the Goods page, I posted pics of them). The lady's out of a European country (I forget which one exactly... Poland maybe?) Though she's not exactly cheap either. That's why I'd like to also find another source... you won't be pleased when she quotes them for you. Don't get me wrong, she does a great job (my Eila patch looks incredible), but... yeah: expensive. |
 |
| Hey Spectre, thanks for your help =) Yes, I saw those pictures through google search, when I searched for a shop. Didn't realized though it was on this site xD They look really amazing, but what exactly is this expensive price? xD I'm ready to give money, but it shouldn't top the 100 dollar(or euro) mark like ebay xD I'm searching now for ages and can't find something to make those patches. Bought recently a 'Nachtjagdgeschwader' patch from ebay. It isn't 100% like the patch from the Nightwitch squadron from Karlsland but I said better than nothing. But a real Squadron patch would make me very happy^^ If noone else can find something than I have to look nearby if some specialist is ready to do something or even try making something for my own xD |
| Okay, I guess I'll tell you, since Ebay is outrageous. (She'll create any patch you want, btw, as long as you submit the image file) Those patches fit the following criteria, and here were the prices she quoted me: Dimensions: 4 x 4 Inches Iron-On Backing Small aesthetic changes (Black borders, enlarged lettering) 501st Patch (Qty 1): $52.03 Eila Patch (Qty 1): $51.75 So yeah for the two I paid around $100. Not as bad as individual, but I still had a hard time doing it. |
|
| When I calculate it in euro, I wouldn't say that they are very expensive. If I remember correctly, a shop I once found sold the official patches but only for a short time. Maybe the prices were a little bit lower there but they didn't sent to germany and even if they did it would have cost me much money for shipping cost. Does she have a website? Would be great if you could tell me =) |
| Oh, yeah, knew I forgot something -_- http://www.e-patches.com |
|
| Thank you very much. I already got an answer from them. Have to look about the price and how it will work out, but I have big hopes^^ Again, thank you very much! You were a great help =) But I mean.......Sanya and Eila have to work together xD |
| Okay, I'm still getting emails about these patches despite having not made them in years. So, I'll now be contacting some old friends of mine to see about producing 20-40 more patches. If you ate interested in purchasing some then post up and let me know. I need to know I can move at least most of them before getting them actually made. I can promise they'll be a LOT cheaper than $50 though. Lol |
| |
| I'm interested in purchase it, but I have one question: I'm from Poland and I want to ask from where you will be sending it, because I want to know the cost of shipping. |
| I have interest in buying some patches (I needed one for my Flight jacket) , how much it would cost to ship it to Spain? |
 |
| I would choose the cheapest shipping method possible unless the buyer wanted to upgrade to something with tracking. As for the cost, I wouldn't know until I took the envelope to the shipper. They'll come in a small envelope though so it shouldn't be too expensive. Also, sorry for taking so horrendously long to reply. Work has been hell the past few months. |
| |
| I would like to kno how I can get me a patch like that I have a great idea with it abd if can get my hands on a patch like that I can post a pic of wat I created |
