I wasn't sure this patch trend would last, but guess what! They're back again for fall and they're super fun. You don't have to spend a fortune on patches, you can make your own. I used Emoji images for some of mine and glue them to painted fabric shapes. Embellish everything from a pair of boyfriend jeans to your old ratty backpack!
Just a few images I've been seeing in the magazines
