How to make a clothing patch - STEP BY STEP
Creating your own patches can be a fun and rewarding activity. Here we show you a step-by-step guide to making patches for clothing:
1.Design your patch:
Draw or print the design you want. Remember that simple designs usually work best.
2.Cut the fabric:
Cut out a piece of fabric that is slightly larger than your design.
3.Apply the iron-on paper:
Place the iron-on paper on the back of the fabric following the manufacturer’s instructions. This will make it easier to apply the patch later.
4.Cut out the design:
With the iron-on paper attached, cut out your design from the fabric.
5.Finish the edge (optional):
If you want a more polished finish, sew around the edge of the patch with thread of the appropriate color.
