DIY: Elbow Patches.

Hey guys! So, basically I'm really obsessed with elbow patches, and it's finally the time of year where you can wear cardigans and such and not have to have nine coats over it. That's why today I'm going to show you the EASIEST way to give your cardigan or sweater or what ever a super easy makeover.

What you need:
-2 fabrics of your choice (you can just go pick up 2 "fat quarters" quilters use if you like)
-Stitch witchery
-Scissors
-Iron
-What ever your elbow patching up

 

First, you need to cut your fabric. I chose to do a triangle but you can do any shape you'd like. (It's hard to mess up a triangle =] ) After you cut your shape out of both fabrics, cut stitch witchery the same size as your fabric pieces. 

Next, lay out your sweater (face down) and place the first triangle down on your fabric with the SW between the two. Press until the edges of the triangle are all glued down. 

Then repeat the fabric, SW, sweater sandwich with the next triangle and press. 

Do the other elbow and BAM you're done. 

It literally is that easy.
