How to:

Follow knee patch tutorial for general sewing instructions.

  1. Print out the template to your required size 100-120% is a good size depending on your hole.
  2. Iron on your fusible web onto scrap fabric as per product instructions.
  3. Trace on your template shape and cut out.
  4. Position your patch.
  5. Peel off backing paper and iron on to pants.
  6. Now with a thread that matches the colour of the patch use a wide zig zag stitch (satin stitch) to sew the patch onto the leg.
  7. For pear or apple, iron on and sew the stem piece first, then the body of the fruit.

Thanks Miss Pilgrim for these cute designs, I bet they’d look cute on all sorts of sewing projects.
I’m thinking on bags, pockets, pillow cases, tea towels…

What will you put them on?
