1. What I first did was buy fabric (from Joann's) and I measured them how big I wanted it to be. It's 100% cotton and was on sale for $5.99/yd but I got half a yard so it was about $2.89. My patch here is 10cm wide and 8cm tall/10cm tall (the smaller ends and the middle). Make sure to make them a little bigger for the hemming and my patch was a little smaller than how I wanted it, so add 2+ cm each.
2. I then folded it where the line was and I ironed it so it makes the sewing much easier.

Here is a close up of where I pinned it. --Just to let you know, I take off the pins as I sew along. It's just to help stay in place!
4. I line up the fabric so I have a straight line.

6. Should have mentioned it before. I made 2 more earlier and I sewed the top part of the patch before working on patching it onto the shirt because I wanted an open pocket. But I want this shirt to be just a patch, therefore I am sewing it right onto the shirt. (Notice how the other end is lined up)
7. Tada! This is what the final product will look like. This is just a one line stitch (I don't know the exact terms for it, sorry!).
These are the three I made altogether. Different types of design will cost at various prices. As you can see they're all animal prints and they are all 100% cotton!
And here it is on. This was very fun & easy to make. Yayay! Be on the lookout for my next diy!!
This looks so cool! would I be able to order one from you?!
