I am working on gathering enough patches to begin a kutte layout. I plan to start with straight line edged patches first and deck out the vest, then secondly put on the awkward, oddly shaped patches like ovals, circles, band logos, characters, or anything of the sorts to completely fill the vest. Does anyone have suggestions about my plan, or care to tell about how they made their own? Cheers.
I'm also in the process of making one, and I don't think there's one "correct" method to do it. It just takes a lot of patience - make sure you have the right patches, make sure you like the placement, pin everything on with bobby pins and be happy with the layout first before sewing anything down. I got a lot of advice from people on this site whose vests I liked. I spent a lot of time studying the layouts of kuttes I respect. Then, years tracking down the right patches - you have to consider shape, size, color, theme, symmetry. About your layout question, if you look at the best kuttes, they use a variety of shaped/logo patches and generous overlap to give it a a flowing, natural feel that's not too grid-like or blocky. It's a long process but that's what makes it rewarding for me. There's a group called german-style kuttes here on TSS that has a good discussion about designing a kutte in the comments. Feel free to PM me too!
