Whether you’re covering a small stain, refreshing an old favourite, or creating something completely original, this dragon cat patch adds instant charm and character.

The backing includes heat-activated adhesive for iron-on application, and it can also be sewn on for extra durability — especially on items that get washed or worn often.

🔥 Iron-On Instructions (Recommended for Cotton, Denim & Canvas)

Best for: cotton, denim, twill, canvas and most polyester blends.
Not suitable for: leather, silk, nylon, waterproof fabrics or stretchy materials (use sew-on only for those).

1. Lay your garment flat on a firm, heat-safe surface (ironing board or folded towel).

2. Set your iron to medium-high / cotton setting (approx. 170–180°C / 340–360°F). Turn steam OFF.

3. Smooth the fabric where the patch will go.

4. Place the patch adhesive-side down in your chosen position.

5. Cover with a thin cotton cloth or baking parchment to protect the embroidery.

6. Press the iron straight down firmly for 20–25 seconds. Do not slide the iron.

7. Lift the iron and repeat over different parts of the patch to ensure even heat, paying special attention to edges and detailed areas.

8. Turn the garment inside out and press directly behind the patch for another 15–20 seconds.

9. Allow everything to cool completely.

10. Gently check the edges. If any areas lift, repeat pressing for another 10–15 seconds.

11. Let the adhesive set for 24 hours before washing or wearing.

For best care: wash inside out on a gentle cycle and air dry whenever possible.

🧵 Sew-On Instructions (Best for Long-Term Wear or Heavy Items)

Sewing is strongly recommended for jackets, backpacks, trousers, pyjamas, or children’s clothing.

1. Position the patch and secure it with pins or a small dab of fabric glue.

2. Thread a needle with strong thread (matching colour or clear).

3. Start stitching from inside the garment to hide your knot.

4. Use small whip stitches or straight stitches around the entire border, following the shape of the dragon cat.

5. Keep stitches close together for a neat, secure finish.

6. When finished, tie off firmly on the inside.

Many people iron the patch first to hold it in place, then sew around the edge once cooled for maximum strength.

This Chinese Dragon Cat Patch is perfect for anyone who loves kawaii style, Asian-inspired designs, lucky symbols, or creative DIY fashion. It makes a wonderful gift for crafters, cat lovers, festival fans, or anyone who enjoys customising their clothes with meaningful, joyful artwork.
