Pair of Turquoise, Green & Gold Flower Patches – Iron On & Sew On Embroidered Floral Patches

Add a rich splash of colour to clothing and accessories with this beautiful pair of Turquoise, Green & Gold Flower embroidered patches. Featuring a large turquoise-green flower surrounded by detailed leaves and smaller blossoms, the design is finished with contrasting gold embroidery through the centre for an attractive decorative effect.

The two patches face opposite directions, making them perfect for creating a balanced or symmetrical floral 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 or 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 entire patch with a thin cotton cloth or a sheet of baking parchment. This protects the embroidery from direct contact with 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 whole design. Try to keep the iron relatively still rather than moving it continuously backwards and forwards.

If possible, turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side directly behind the patch for a further 20–30 seconds. Heating from the reverse side helps the adhesive bond securely to the fabric.

Allow the patch to cool completely before touching it or checking the edges. Once cool, gently test around the patch to make sure it is securely attached. If any area lifts, cover it again and apply heat for another 10–15 seconds.

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

How to Sew On

Sewing is ideal for creating a particularly secure attachment and is also suitable for fabrics that cannot safely be ironed.

Position the patch exactly where you want it and hold it temporarily in place using pins or fabric clips. Choose a thread that blends with the embroidered edge for a neat finish.

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

A sewing machine can also be used where practical. A straight stitch or narrow zigzag stitch around the outer embroidered edge works well.

Care Instructions

After ironing, allow at least 24 hours before washing to give the adhesive 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 protect the patch with a thin cotton cloth.

Ideas for Using Your Flower Patches

The mirrored design makes this pair particularly attractive when placed on opposite sides of a jacket, shirt, dress or cardigan. They can also be positioned on shoulders, sleeves, jeans, trouser legs or either side of a tote bag or backpack.

Use them to personalise plain clothing, give an older garment a new look, customise festival outfits or add decorative detail to handmade bags and sewing projects. They can also provide a creative way to cover a small hole, stain or worn area while turning the repair into an attractive feature.

The combination of turquoise, green and gold detailing creates a distinctive floral design that can transform a simple piece of clothing or accessory into something much more individual.
