How do you feel about the plant everyone now refers to as 'cannabis'? If you are a fan, we would like to introduce you to the Pot Leaf iron-on patch from The Cheap Place. It needs very little description from us. As an embroidered biker patch depicting a marijuana plant, it speaks well enough on its own.
Patches of this nature have become more popular since the states began legalizing medical and recreational marijuana. Over the last 20 years, there has been a pot revolution in the U.S. If you've been part of that revolution, we suspect you might find this particular patch pretty attractive.
The deep green thread chosen by the designer does a particularly good job of giving the image depth. Meanwhile, the silver/gray border around the plant prevents the image from looking flat. Well done. Even though this is by no means an intricate design with a lot going on, it is still a very good-looking piece as far as embroidered patches go.
It is small enough to fit nicely on a breast pocket. If you have a denim jacket or vest, the green will look very good against the blue. Sewing the patch to a black leather vest or jacket is another option. Deep green against black can be quite eye-catching.
Of course, you are not limited to vests and jackets. You can sew or heat press this patch to a hat, shirt, pair of pants, or any other piece of fabric. Maybe even attach it to your backpack or shoulder bag. Use your imagination. Be creative. There is no right or wrong place to display embroidered patches.
If you're going to sew it on with needle and thread, use the smallest diameter needle that won't bend. And definitely sew embroidered patches to nylon or leather.
