Default Where can I buy iron-on patchs....?

Hi,

Bit of a random Q - I've got a hole in my jeans, can't afford a new pair just now, if I was in the UK I'd have just popped to Wilkos, got some of those iron-on denim patches and kept wearing them...wondered if anyone has seen anything similar over here?? I can't even think where to start looking...

thanks!
Jen

Hmmm, difficult one that. The only place I can think of is Spotlight

There's definitely a needlework shop in Auckland that sells them - Ribbon Rose in Ellerslie - they may be able to post one down to you. If not ditto for spotlight and also K-Mart have a sewing dept. Otherwise go to charity shop and buy some cheap old denim to cut up and sew yourself?

My first thought was you wanted a gang-patch and had slightly misunderstood what they are

Just to revive this, admittedly slightly unusual thread, to say THANKS for the recommendations cos I got some from K Mart and my jeans are all patched up! xx

Gonna say, most patches are held by the Mongrel Mob and Black Power.
You have to duff someone over to get one though
