Home Patch layout tool

Free patch layout tool

Try out your patches on a jacket, backpack, cap or jeans before the iron comes out. Drag them about, resize them to real sizes and save a picture of your layout.

· Sizes are for an adult medium, so treat them as a guide.

1. Pick a garment
2. Add a patch
3. Style your patch

Tap a patch to change its colour, words, size or angle. Drag it to move it.

How to use your layout

  1. Measure your real patches and set each one to its width in centimetres, so the layout matches what you've got.
  2. Leave a gap of about 1 cm (⅜ in) between patches and keep them off thick seams, which stop an iron pressing evenly.
  3. Save a picture and keep it open on your phone while you pin the patches in place.
  4. Then fix them on: see how to iron on a patch or how to sew one on.
