fabric patches




I've got another simple and fun projects for Brother and their new Scan N Cut machine!

As a mom of an active (and messy toddler) I know how much wear and tear kids clothing can get! That is why I love to spruce up my daughter clothing with simple and colorful patches! Everything from stains to holes can be covered with a patch.

The fun part about the Scan N Cut is that you are able to cut fabric which means creating simple shapes for patches and any sewing project just got really easy! 

 I started by cutting out a variety of shapes from colorful scraps of handmade and store bought fabric.




Next I layered my shapes on top of canvas (for more stability).
Then using my sewing machine I added stitched details to my shapes.


The result are a variety of fun little fabric patches ready to be sewn to clothing!

  5. I've been making creative patches too using pieces of old leather for extra durability. Neat to see I'm not the only one! http://baukjesart.blogspot.ca/2013/10/moms-sweatshop-produces-patches.html
