Where to get punk patches?

Normally I prefer plain clothes, but I have a few funny (nerd humor) tshirts. I bought them at open source software conferences. Would do the same regarding band tshirts or alike being at a concert. Then the piece of clothing has a more special meaning I think. It's not only funny/cool/whatever, you'll remember the situation you bought it, too.
It's kind of time consuming to pick through everything, but I buy most of my patches from sellers on etsy, there's a pretty good variety and people can leave reviews so you know whether someone is legitimate or not. Either that or I just search for designs I like and cut stencils with an X-acto - old fabric and acrylic paint (this shit never comes out of anything, and if you're really worried about it cracking from washing/drying you can mix it with textile medium) will suffice.
I make all my own stencils, then use whatever cloth and paint I find along the way. I'm currently selling patches at Ranch Records in Bend, OR. They seem to be very popular. I'll be back on the road this summer if anybody Wants to trade patches or stencils.
