I have curated an embroidery kit to encourage people to explore their creativity by embroidering their unloved or worn out clothing. Refresh your wardrobe with a DIY embroidery patch kit, kits include an embroidery hoop, threads, needles and everything else you'll need to get started. Each kit has its own unique embroidery patch (a portrait/face in white thread on up-cyled denim) that can be applied to a variety of fabrics.  By reinventing a pair of jeans or an old top for example, you can add to your wardrobe without guilt. Embroidery Kit/DIY Patches are available at my online shop.

​

Step-by-step application of embroidered patch:

​

1. If you want to customised your patch with beading or more hand embroidery techniques, you should do this before cutting the patch from the fabric (embroidery tutorials on 'Embroidery' page).

2. Cut out embroidered patchwork face, leaving 1.5cm seam allowance around the embroidered area.

3. Pin patch to the area of garment you would like to apply it to. I recommend trying your garment on with the patch to find the best placement.

4. On my example below, I have used a whipstitch with machine thread to sew on my patch. If you are new to sewing I would recommend using the embroidery thread to apply your patch piece because it will create a strong seam, but feel free to experiment!
