Iron on Elbow, Knee and Decorative Repair Patches

Iron-on fabric patches and appliques are the product that started the Vintage-Patch business, and we think ours are brilliant. A superior quality OEKO-TEX® adhesive means our patches may not need additional sewing on many fabrics. To make use of valuable resources, many of our patching fabrics are reclaimed or vintage.
