Celebrating Spring with Iron-on Patches
It’s officially the first day of Spring! The snow has melted and I spy tulip buds in the garden...warmer temps are on the horizon and so is that transitional wardrobe. One of my favorite transitional wardrobe essentials for Spring or fall is a denim jacket. My oldest daughter took notice and asked for a denim jacket with a twist for Christmas.
The twist was that Lucy's denim jacket had to involve patches and as it was one of top three items on her wish list Santa pulled through. My budding fashionista has been begging me to attach the patches to her jacket since Christmas morning but I just got around to it and what a better way to celebrate Spring. Perhaps, I thought the process was going to be hard but it was surprisingly simple!
Iron-on-Patches in 6 Easy Steps
- Remove patches from packaging
- Place patches on denim jacket in the desired location (be thoughtful they may stick)
- Grab a light colored cotton garment and place over the first patch
- Place an iron set on high on top of all items and count for 25 seconds (repeat per patch)
- Turn jacket inside out and iron on the reverse side of patch for another 25 seconds (repeat per patch)
- Voila, try on the newly styled denim jacket
Honestly, this is so easy! You can opt to sew the patches on but my daughter found the idea of mixing her patches up at a later date more enticing so we ironed and chose 2 of her patches to start. Finding iron-on patches was challenging at first and then I discovered that Meri Meri and Crewcuts both had a great selection. Meri Meri patches can be found online here and here. Their selection has been growing and this Space Voyager patch is my new favorite. I purchased the Crewcuts patches in store but they do have a select few available online. Go on, get your littles some flair to celebrate the new season to come!
