Repairing clothes instead of throwing them away – easy and sustainable with iron-on patches
A small hole in your favorite jeans or a tear in your child's trousers doesn't have to mean throwing the garment away. Iron-on patches offer a quick, durable, and creative way to repair trousers, jackets, or shirts. This saves money, protects the environment, and gives clothes a second life.
Why iron-on patches are the clever solution
✅ Easy application – simply iron on
✅ No sewing required – saves time and hassle
✅ Robust & durable – strong adhesive layer for a secure hold
✅ Versatile – for jeans, cotton, children's clothing or workwear
✅ Sustainable – wear clothes longer instead of buying new ones
Instructions: How to properly iron on iron-on patches
Prepare the garment: Make sure the fabric is clean and dry.
Cutting patches to size: Cut to the desired shape and size if required.
Positioning: Place the patch on the hole or tear with the adhesive side facing down.
Ironing: Hold the iron (cotton setting, no steam) on the patch for about 30 seconds with light pressure.
Allow to cool: After a few minutes, the patch will be firmly bonded to the fabric.
👉 Tip: For particularly stressed areas (e.g., knees of children's trousers), attach the patch additionally from the inside.
