About this pattern

Budding farmers will be itching to wear Susie Johns' embroidered motifs.

Colourful machinery with big wheels, made to plough furrows, lift heavy weights and pull things along – it’s no wonder why children are fascinated by tractors! These embroidered patches are perfect for bringing plain garments to life: think denim jackets, cardigans, jumpers, even bags… the list goes on and on! The best part though? It couldn’t be easier to adhere them, simply press them into place with a hot iron and you’re done.

Essentials

Cotton fabric, 15cm square
Non-woven stabiliser
Embroidery hoop, 10cm diameter
Iron-on vinyl adhesive
Six-stranded embroidery thread,
various colours
Fray stop
Embroidery needle

Top sewing tip

Any iron-on bonding can be used for this project, but the vinyl type will help to give your patches a professional finish and ensure that they stay put once applied to the garment.
