Got tiny denim leftovers you don’t want to toss? Transform them into Embroidered Denim Patches! These are perfect for repairing clothes, adding flair to jackets or bags, or gifting to your artsy friends. Whether you go minimalist or boho wild, this project gives you endless freedom to stitch your story.
🧵 What You’ll Need:
- Small denim scraps (any shape or size)
- Embroidery thread or floss
- Embroidery hoop (optional but helpful)
- Needle
- Scissors
- Pencil, fabric pen, or transfer paper
- Optional: iron-on adhesive or safety pins for attachment
✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cut Your Patches
- Choose your denim scraps and cut them into your desired shapes—squares, hearts, stars, circles, etc.
- Fray the edges slightly for a rugged look, or stitch around them for a clean finish.
2. Sketch Your Design
- Lightly draw or trace a design onto the patch—this could be a flower, letter, quote, or abstract pattern.
3. Start Stitching
- Use simple stitches like backstitch, satin stitch, or French knots.
- You can mix thread colors and textures to make it pop.
4. Attach Your Patch
- Either iron on your patch using fusible webbing, sew it onto a garment, or pin it to a bag or hat for removable flair.
🎉 Final Thoughts:
Embroidered Denim Patches are the ultimate combo of craftiness and self-expression. Whether you’re fixing up a jacket or just showing off your stitching skills, they’re as fun to make as they are to show off. Best of all, no two patches are ever the same—each one tells a little story.
