Turn a Patch Idea into a Charm
Hatch Academy / Wilcom
Topic illustrationWhy we picked it
Explore a project that develops a patch into a small decorative object.
Put it into practice
Draw the intended outline and attachment area, then check which details remain readable at the small size.
Keep a useful record
Save an editable working copy and label your experiment with its intended size and material. Compare the preview with a sample before repeating the setup on a finished item. Note what changed and what remained constant so the next attempt answers a specific question. A screen preview helps with planning, while the sewn result shows how the material behaves.
