Pair of Pink, Brown & Gold Flower Patches – Iron On & Sew On Embroidered Floral Patches

Add a soft, elegant floral detail to clothing and accessories with this beautiful pair of Pink, Brown & Gold Flower embroidered patches. The design combines muted pink and brown tones with contrasting gold embroidery through the centre of the flowers, creating a warm and distinctive finish.

The two patches face opposite directions, making them particularly attractive when used together as a matching or symmetrical design. They have an iron-on backing for convenient application and can also be sewn on for a stronger, more permanent attachment.

Size

Each patch measures 6 cm Width × 11.9 cm Height.

How to Iron On

Before applying the patch, make sure the fabric is clean, completely dry and suitable for ironing. Delicate fabrics and materials that cannot withstand high temperatures should be sewn on instead.

Place the patch in your chosen position with the adhesive side facing down against the fabric. Cover the patch completely with a thin cotton cloth or a sheet of baking parchment. This provides a protective layer between the embroidery and the hot iron.

Set your iron to a medium-high cotton setting, approximately 150–170°C, and make sure the steam is switched off. Press firmly over the patch for approximately 30–45 seconds, applying even pressure across the entire design. Avoid continuously moving the iron backwards and forwards.

If possible, turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side directly behind the patch for another 20–30 seconds. This allows heat to reach the adhesive from the other side and can help create a stronger bond.

Leave the patch to cool completely before touching or testing the edges. Once cool, gently check that the entire patch is securely attached. If an edge lifts, cover the area again and apply heat for another 10–15 seconds.

For clothing that will be washed frequently, or items such as bags and jackets that receive regular use, sewing around the edge after ironing is recommended for additional security.

How to Sew On

Sewing is ideal when you want a particularly strong attachment or when the fabric is unsuitable for ironing.

Position the patch carefully and hold it in place using pins or fabric clips. Choose a thread that blends with the embroidered border for a discreet finish.

Starting from the reverse side of the fabric, sew around the outer embroidered edge using small, evenly spaced stitches. Keep your stitching close to the border and make sure the patch remains flat as you work around the design. Once the whole patch is securely attached, finish with a strong knot on the reverse side and trim away any excess thread.

You can also use a sewing machine if the item can be positioned comfortably under the presser foot. A straight stitch or narrow zigzag stitch around the outer edge works well.

Care Instructions

After ironing, allow at least 24 hours before washing so the adhesive has time to set properly. Wash on a gentle cycle where possible and avoid bleach, harsh detergents and excessive heat. Air drying is recommended.

When ironing the garment in the future, avoid placing the hot iron directly onto the embroidery. Iron from the reverse side or place a protective cotton cloth over the patch.

Ideas for Using Your Flower Patches

These matching floral patches look especially attractive positioned on opposite sides of a dress, shirt, cardigan or jacket. Their mirrored design also works well on shoulders, sleeves, trouser legs or either side of a tote bag or backpack.

They can be used to personalise everyday clothing, refresh an older garment, decorate a handmade bag or add floral detail to sewing and craft projects. The larger design can also be a creative way to cover a small hole, stain or worn area while turning the repair into a decorative feature.

The combination of soft pink, earthy brown and gold detailing gives these embroidered flower patches a versatile look that works well with denim, neutral fabrics and many other colours.
