Hand sewing variations of patches on uniforms

Now that I have my repro uniform for giving talks and demonstrations I will be sewing a unit patch on the shoulder as soon as it arrives. It got me to thinking though, I have seen a lot of very nice, unique hand sewing jobs on shoulder patches and wanted to reach out for everyone to post their nice hand sewn patches.

 

I have a really nice shirt with an Air Corps patch that the stitching is in a very fine X pattern all the way around, but don't have a picture at the moment.

 

Please post yours!

This isn't my best work, but I wanted to quickly sew on my repro 4th ID patch on my M41 and wanted to try a different sewing style normally my sewing style shows a bit more thread between stitches (circa 3mm of thread and 3 mm of space rather than the 1mm of thread I used for the 4th ID patch) making it look a bit like a sewing machine in my opinion. I have even contemplated on using the X method or even diagonal stitching

This is one of those unique sewing jobs I was talking about. I have a pair of these these shirts both with corporal stripes and both with the same sewing job in the AAC patch. It's definitely one of my favorites. The shirts aren't named.
