Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Many parents probably want to add patches to their child’s hat or bag when they start preschool or elementary school.

But patches can get unexpectedly expensive if you plan to buy several of them.

So in this article, we’re introducing ideas for making your own patches.

While embroidery is the classic approach for patches, we also show how to make patches using only felt.

We feature a variety of designs—animals, food, vehicles, characters, and more—so please take a look for inspiration!

[Embroidery] Car

This is a car patch made with embroidery.

Since an adhesive sheet is attached at the end, you can apply heat with an iron to attach it to your belongings.

The steps are simple: draw a rough sketch on the base fabric and embroider over it.

You’ll only use two stitches: satin stitch and backstitch.

Once the embroidery is done, attach a double-sided adhesive sheet, cut away the excess base fabric, and you’re finished.

Many embroidery beginners wonder how to fill in blank areas—learning the two-strand satin stitch will definitely come in handy.

You can download the car pattern for this idea from the notes section.
