Einleitung
This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to patch the elbow of your Patagonia sweater. A piece of felted sweater or corduroy fabric will make a great patch for your sweater. Choose a patch color that compliments the color of your sweater. You can sew the patch on by hand if you don’t have a sewing machine. Whether you hand-sew or machine-sew, you will need a ballpoint needle to prevent any snagging while sewing. If you choose to sew by hand, simply ignore the steps involving the sewing machine. Whichever method you choose, be sure to only sew through the top layer of the sleeve, or else you’ll sew your sleeve shut! New to sewing? Check out our sewing glossary.
