Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now let's talk about appliqué patches. You can find
lots of different appliqué patches in a fabric store or a craft store. These are great for
covering up all kinds of stains and holes and rips. Just find the one that matches your
garment, one that you like. There is all different kinds. This sweater has a very large hole
in it you can see here and I repaired it with two appliqué patches. Let me show you how
to apply an appliqué patch to a shirt. Now I am going to show you how to apply an appliqué
patch to a shirt. Here we have a small hole in the bottom of the shirt and we've chosen
our appliqué patch, a nice little blue butterfly that matches the shirt and we are going to
apply that either with a pin. You can hold it down with a pin wherever you want to place
it like this or you can use a little bit of fabric glue, which I like to do. Just a little
bit of fabric glue and that will hold it in place. Make sure that it completely covers
the hole and just let that dry.
