Making Home Patch Set ( 5 Patches)
The Making Home patch set comes with five different patches from the collection: the lemon, the fish, the home, the bird and the one patch which is unique to this set - the leaf. This set can be worn together on one piece of clothing or distributed over a few. This is meant to be an interactive artwork that you can customise by adding embroidery, creating connections or roots from thread.
Choose between the sew-on version, or the iron on version, which can be easily applied with a home iron onto many different fabrics.

About the collection
Our clothes are a way we can feel at home. They live with us and provide protection, comfort and expression. This collection of patches reflects the kind of affirmation we can find in our clothes, when they feel like an extension of ourselves and find home in the everyday. Home is a feeling, one we can carry around with us, even if we haven’t found four walls to inhabit long term.
About the artist
Amber Bardell is a multidisciplinary artist working predominantly with mixed media painting in Bristol, UK. Their latest collection ‘Making Home’ reflects on the power the creative practice can have in feeling at home, in times of transient living conditions and travel.
FAQS
How do I know the size of the patch is right for me?
If you are unsure if the size of the patch is right for you, we recommend using a piece of paper cut to size to try out different positions and placements on your chosen garment.
Which application should I go for? Iron on or sew on?
Both applications have their pro’s and con’s. Iron on patches are very easy and quick to apply but don’t work on fabrics that can’t withstand high heat. An iron on patch can also make your garment stiffer, which can be uncomfortable when the fabric is quite thin. Sew on patches require a basic level of sewing skills but will have a more seamless feel on your garment. They can also be reused.
