Thanks, it's adorable! Had to have it because my aunt would save up quarters and take me to the arcade to play. It's perfect to commemorate that. ^^
 
I miss arcades :/ though we have a local bar with arcade machines!
 
I just ordered a hamburger patch for my letterman jacket, with leftover money from an Amazon gift card I got last Christmas. I seriously didn't think I had enough left on that card to buy anything? :/

This was taken off a shirt my bf bought me for Christmas one year. Unfortunately, the company doesn't know the difference between Medium and Small, and an accident in the washing machine shrunk it further. My daughter says I need something called fusible backing to strengthen it, and then I can cut around the outline and sew it to that to make a patch out of it. It'll probably be my first back patch.

Found some backing at Walmart. Daughter said she'd teach me how to do this.

And the homemade patch is made. You can see the glossy backing. I'm getting ready to sew it on.

And done. It bunched up a bit because it's thin and stretchy, but I'm mostly pleased with how it came out.

Next up: Coin Slot

And it has arrived. It's bigger then I thought, which is nice.
