What you need:
- textile markers
- old cotton bag or other fabric remnants (as light as possible)
- denim jacket
- printed template
- pair of compasses
- scissors
- cardboard backing
- adhesive tape
Whether it's a tear or a stain on your favourite jacket, turn it into something new! Simply make patches from an old cotton bag and give your jacket its very own look.
Step 1
Print out a template, or be creative yourself and draw your own design on a sheet of paper, and fix it to a piece of cardboard.Tip
Be careful when trying out the washing temperature. The higher the natural fibre content of the fabric, the higher you can set the washing temperature (40° to 60°C). When washing, it is best to use fine or colour detergents, which are generally gentle on colours and fade less.If possible, wash newly purchased fabrics in advance so that the textile marker ink can penetrate deep into the fibres. It is best to use a delicates cycle and mild detergent when washing so you can enjoy your unique item for as long as possible. This is because colour brilliance depends not only on the texture of the fabric, but also on the temperature and the particular laundry detergent.
