Patches We Have Made and Set

Sixty-nine pieces

Sixty-nine finished pieces, photographed on a phone as they left the shop. This is the largest thing on the site because it is the largest thing in the shop. They are grouped by what the patch went onto rather than by when they were made: three frames from the bench, thirty-seven caps, twenty-one bags and covers, and eight pieces that fit no other heading.

Start with the three frames at the top, because they answer the question people ask before anything else: what does this actually look like being made. A patch pinned out on the cap before it goes anywhere near heat. The same cap in the press. The piece laid in again from the second side. That is the whole of it, and there is a person doing every step.

What people ask for

Then the caps - thirty-seven of them, and the range is the point. A two-tone cap with a chenille club patch. A red cap wearing a pearl chain. A hot pink cap carrying a bow and a row of small icons. Red, white and blue on a trucker; stars and stripes on camo. A black cap with a chenille smiley on it and a rope cap with a tiger and a laurel. Several are somebody's initials and nothing more, which is usually the job: three chenille letters, a single letter on a pale cap, a letter and a butterfly on camo. Two frames show caps styled in pairs because they were ordered in pairs - two camo caps with two different names is a couple, or a pair of sisters, and it is one of the more common orders that comes through the form.

The half people do not expect

The bags and covers are the half of the business people do not expect. A crossbody covered end to end in patches. Checkerboard bags with star and script panels. Bible covers in floral, animal print and checker. Planner cases photographed open so you can see the inside. A clear game-day bag with a sequin patch on it, shot again close so the sequins read. One frame is a cover, a bag and a pair of slippers together, which is what a single customer ordered at once.

And then the last band, which exists because the answer to "what else can you patch" keeps getting longer. Slippers with a star and a smiley. High-tops with chenille numbers on them. Koozies. Two denim jackets - one with a name across the back, one with a name and flowers. If you own it and it holds still, it is probably a candidate.

Made in Yukon, photographed as they left

All sixty-nine pieces on this page were made at the shop in Yukon, Oklahoma, inside the Oklahoma City metro, and photographed by Stephanie on her phone as they left. More lands here as she shoots it, so the count moves. Nothing here came off a rack. Every patch is made to order, so the starting point is somebody's own idea rather than a stock design, every job is quoted on its own, and the mock is approved before anything goes near heat. Bringing in a piece you already own is a normal way to start rather than an exception to one. If you own something and you want a patch on it, ask.
