How to Sew on an "In Memory Of" Patch: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sewing on an "In Memory Of" patch is a heartfelt way to honor a loved one and create a lasting tribute on clothing or accessories. Whether attaching the patch to a jacket, shirt, hat, or bag, taking the time to sew it properly ensures durability and a polished look. This guide will walk you through the steps to securely sew your patch while preserving its aesthetic and meaning.

To begin, gather the necessary materials. You’ll need the patch, the garment or item you’re attaching it to, matching thread, a needle, scissors, and straight pins or fabric adhesive. If the patch is iron-on, you may also want an iron to stabilize it before sewing. Once you have everything ready, decide on the placement of the patch. Popular areas include the sleeve, chest, or back of a shirt, jacket, or bag. Lay the garment flat on a clean surface, and secure the patch in place with straight pins to visualize how it will look.

Prepare the patch for sewing by ensuring it is correctly positioned. If the patch has an iron-on backing, lightly iron it onto the fabric to hold it in place temporarily. This step is optional but helpful, especially for keeping the patch steady during sewing. Set the iron to a temperature appropriate for the fabric type and follow the patch manufacturer’s instructions if applicable. For non-iron-on patches, use straight pins or fabric adhesive to secure the patch before starting.

Thread your needle with a length of thread that matches the border of the patch or the garment’s fabric, approximately 18 inches long. Tie a small knot at the end of the thread to prevent it from slipping through the material. Begin sewing by starting from the underside of the fabric to keep the knot hidden. Push the needle through the edge of the patch and the fabric about 1/8 inch from the patch border, then pull the thread tight. Insert the needle back through the fabric close to the first stitch, and continue this process around the entire edge of the patch, keeping the stitches evenly spaced.

Once you’ve sewn all the way around the patch, secure your work by tying a knot on the underside of the fabric. To do this, push the needle partially through the fabric, creating a small loop. Pass the needle through the loop and pull it tight. Repeat this process twice to ensure the knot is secure, then cut off any excess thread with scissors. This step prevents the stitching from coming undone over time and ensures the patch remains firmly attached.

After completing the sewing, inspect your work to ensure the patch is evenly secured and the stitching is neat. Adjust any loose threads or stitches as needed to achieve a polished look. Sewing an "In Memory Of" patch by hand not only creates a durable attachment but also adds a personal touch to the garment. This small effort transforms the item into a meaningful keepsake, honoring your loved one with every stitch.
