Patch Placement Planner

A printable 12-page planner for designing patch layouts on jackets, bags, caps and jeans, with an actual-size patch guide and a care cheat sheet.

Plan where every patch goes before the iron comes out. The Patch Placement Planner is a printable PDF you can use again and again: sketch your layout on a template, check sizes against real-size shapes, keep a log of your patches, and look up whether to iron, sew or glue.
