How to make patch on clothes

For a super quick, faux embroidered look, you can use the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine. This is a fast way to get the look, with clean simple lines to follow. One of my daughters had drawn a cool triangle symbol, which I just loved, making it perfect for the zigzag stitch method.

I love how it turned out, and my daughter still recognized it as her design. Irregardless of the method chosen, once you have your design on the fabric — you will need to turn it into an adhesive patch. This is my favorite part, probably because it is so EASY!

All you need is one magic little product, Peel n Stick Fabric Fuse. I tried this product by Therm O Web and was amazed by its results. I swear, it worked better than the cute reusable adhesive patches that I had purchased at Target!!!

All you need to do is remove the paper from the back of the patch and stick on! The patch stays put, way better than any iron-on patches I have used in the past or the sticky patches you can buy in the store now days. This back to school season we purchased a nice, sturdy, basic backpack that I knew would last throughout the year.

I was tired of the backpacks that always got holes in them, and spending the money to replace them late Spring. So I went tried and true this year, and purchased a classic Jansport in each of my kids favorite colors. The caveat? They could decorate them with patches each as they saw fit — to truly make it their own. And PS — can you believe this one is starting Kindergarten this year? When I was a young girl, my nickname was Jessica Rabbit.

Fast forward 20 years, and I am married to the love of my life who, as fate would have it, has the last name Abbott. That's me! Jessica R. Abbott - aka, Jess Rabbit.

They are so proud of their creations when they see that an adult values them enough to do something with them — putting onto clothing, pillowcases, or bags as you have done.

Great job!!! That patch was nicer than all of the other ones. I feel like sticking a patch onto a shirt is a good idea. I was thinking more along the lines of stitching. How much time does it take to create the embroidered patches on our own?

Love your all patches. Where do you buy your heat on sheets? Can you answer me by email? Well, maybe sticking with creating your own version of the original movie jackets that inspired you to start making patches in the first place would be the best idea for you! Check out how Milica Begecki arranged and attached their patches just right! They guide you through the process of making custom images and lettering on patches using thread, canvas, and felt.

Design Sponge shows you how to make DIY patches shaped like landmarks from around the world. The best part of them, of course, is customizing them to say funny, everyday life things, just for a bit of amusing extra motivation on a daily basis. Did you actually get a little too excited when you were making stamped or printed patches and now you have some left over emojis ready for another project?

In that case, we definitely think you should take a look at the way Style Sense Moments placed their patches all over an awesomely coloured clutch, just to give it a little more personality. If you are actually very skilled at things like hand sewing, embellishing, and embroidery, you could even make sequinned patches of your own to create an even more DIY version of this project.

Cut strips of fusible web tape such that you can line the edges of your patch. The tape has one side that's exposed and slightly sticky and one side that's covered with paper; press it sticky-side down onto the back side of your patch.

Run a hot iron over the paper-covered tape for seconds to bond it to the fabric, let it cool briefly, then peel off the paper. You should now have a DIY iron-on patch. Spread the piece of clothing you're patching out on your ironing board with the hole facing up. Take a hot iron set to whatever heat is appropriate for the patch and clothing fabric and iron over the edges of the patch for 30 seconds to a minute, until the fusible web sets and the patch is firmly attached to your clothing.

Now that the patch is ironed in place, you can stitch around the edges without pinning or worrying about fabric stretching and misaligning. If you have a sewing machine, sew with a zigzag stitch around the edges of the patch. Once you get all the way around the edge, overlap the stitching by an inch or so to keep the thread from unravelling. I often just sew all the way around the edge twice. The zigzag stitch helps keep the edge of the patch from fraying or slipping out. If you're sewing by hand, stitch all the way around the edge.

Use small stitches and overlap them if the patch fabric is prone to fraying. Less-disintegrating clothing, more color, and so easy! You can use this same technique to add screenprinted patches or interesting bits of fabric, even if you're not covering over a hole.

My boyfriend has pants just like these, Camo based too.
