And I think most of you know the feeling when your child likes a cartoon character, but you can't find anything with this character in local shops (it often happens to me). That's the same situation in which patches help. For example, it is impossible to find girls' clothing with the characters from The Cars cartoon (even on e bay-o'mighty). As you already know, we had The Cars birthday party, so I added The Lightning McQueen iron-on at her dress:
Do I have to mention how the birthday girl was thrilled? It is also a much cheaper way to get clothes with the popular cartoon characters.
Patches are available in all major supermarkets, drug stores, grocery stores, or on ebay. Majority of them are iron-on patches, but I always add a few stitches, just in case. You can sew by hand or by sewing machine, but of course it's better by sewing machine.
And that's it!
What a smart idea! Thrifty too. I know when my daughter was younger, it was hard to be thrifty in purchasing her clothing! This is a great way to keep clothes new!

Thank you for hosting! I somehow managed to upload a link without a photo. It's not my first time to participate in a linky party, but the no-sleep nights have results.... Looking forward in reading your new posts and participating in the future linkies

As I was reading I saw this blue shirt my daughter like to wear all the time. It fits but it's holey.I did not know patches were in style again. Thanks for tip. Stopping by from SITS.

Patches are so great! They can make the clothes look even better than the original!
