Patchwork

Design your own handmade patch with this project. Show off your love for your favourite band, saying or just about anything! Use peel and stick felt to cut and layer your own design. Experiment with a few basic hand embroidery stitches to add finishing touches. Stitch your patch on you your clothes or use safety pins to fasten your patch temporarily.
