  Step 1

  Put your jumper on and using tailors chalk mark crosses where your elbows sit. Take off your jumper and measure down from the cuff/top of shoulder to mark the same positioning on each of the arms.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut a pattern piece so that your patches will be even and cut out your fabric to roughly the right size. I chose a small floral Liberty pattern to make a statement, but you could use any fabric you like.

• 

  Step 3

  Iron on some bondaweb onto your fabric. Remember the glue side goes onto your fabric and run the iron quickly over the bondaweb sealing it on.

• 

  Step 4

  Using your pattern piece draw it onto your bonadweb.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut this out. I choose to use my pinking shears to cut with to give a nice edge to the patches.

• 

  Step 6

  Peal off the bondaweb backing.

• 

  Step 7

  Iron each patch onto your jumper into the positions you have marked with your tailors chalk.

• 

  Step 8

  You can also use embroidery thread to go around the outside of your patches to ensure they stay in place or just leave them as is. Then you are done.
