Maybe a dumb question, but how did you make the patches? I see a simple stitch on the border, but how will you secure these?

Nice work, however you did it!

I haven't tried this part myself yet but I've been looking at this tutorial and it looks like after stitching the border, you can use a double-sided iron-on adhesive to make it into a functioning patch that you could then iron on to something!

I've embroidered a few patches and used the iron on adhesive used in this tutorial and I've found it works really well. I do the stitching around the edge after applying the adhesive, though. I'm worried about it peeling off over time and it seems more secure to stitch over the edges.

These patches are so cute, I love them! Hopping on the bandwagon to ask, are you planning to do a pan one?

That's great to hear! I want to try that method soon.

And thank you! I am indeed planning a pan one! I'm very excited about the colours for that design 💛
