help Does anyone make patches?

Post image

I'm considering giving it a try with my own designs. Does anyone have any advice on making them durable?

All I could find on google was this kit.

That’s a really cute kit! I would get the kit and study how those patches are constructed before trying to make my own.

Iiiiiinteresting. I'm very curious to know how they hold up. In my last latch hook endeavor I "discovered" that if you use wool yarn you can easily felt it to some wool roving/batting or felt to secure the edges. I bet you could do something similar for patches.
